It was quite a successful platform here in Europe, a few years ago my dentist and my ophthalmologist still used ST software in an emulation environment (presumably MagicPC). It was also wildly popular among musicians.
ARAnyM is not an emulator, its a Virtual Machine with a 68040 processor, it has a DSP56K hooked directly into the underlying OS sound system,and optionally allows setting Falcon video modes. That version of BeePi (v3?) is set up to boot ala ST/Falcon 030. It is NOT a falcon emuilator, its missing a bunch of hardware that some program depend on. It does however allow choosing ST / Falcon style booting (via the AUTO folder), can read and write Falcon IDE partitions, and TT/Mega SCSI & ST ACSI drives (drives & partions can be either image files or real hardware, incl. CD-ROMS), and will run most "well behaved" GEM programs, and some Falcon software. Those floppy disks are launched in HATARI, which is an emulator of all things ST/TT/Falcon including imaginary combinations (eg TT with 68000). Note that the previous 3-4 versions of BeePi booted directly to MiNT with its own (cut down) AUTO folder mounted via a local filesystem folder. MiNT is not a Linux/Unix Filesystem emulator, it is a POSIX complient _co-oprative multi-tasking_ kernel (as opposed to _pre-emptive multi-tasking_ on Unix, Linux, MacOSX an Windows) and related OS parts. There is a port of uLinux for ARAnyM. 68k/Linux will also boot on ARAnyM.
Im going to guess here as i dont actually know but I would say the software side would run, how well might depend on the Pi board and version your using.... Hardware such as a dongle.... im going to say very unlikely, so i'll at a guess say no to that.
it looks like a distro of ARAnyM, while the ARAnyM as a VM is very fast, the level of compatibility is still not good. If you want something more compatible, then go for HATARI. And you actually run a MiNT (GNU based) OS over the EmUTOS, something you can run on real ATARI. That is why it is looking "like" Linux.
I am a little confused about the download and unzipping. I downloaded a zip file Beepi-3-Rpi4.zip and extracted it. I got all those *.7z.001 through *.7z.009. I was able to open the archive for .001 which has an IMG file and a PDF file. I am not sure about the rest of the files *.7z.002 though *.7z.009.
The download was split into a number of reference files, most unzippers are able to reassemble the uncompressed file using the sub files. So if you have a .IMG and .PDF file then thats fine, it all worked.
Looking forward to Part 2. Great video.
excellent presentation. waiting on part 2 as well.
that right clock box in the upper left is a weather widget, just need to set your city ..
This looks really interesting. I'd love to learn more about the AtariST.

This is super cool, I am not sure if I missed this but if you were to run cubase, can this emulate the dongle?

This includes a transparent Hatari emulation layer for compatibility.
Thanks for your video. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information on BeePi usage.

Thank you so much for all your work on this project. It's amazing!
