    How to play Amiga games on the Raspberry Pi 400. The Pi 400 is a great retro-inspired all-in-one machine, I take a look at how to emulate the Commodore Amiga and the ultimate setup for this machine.

      Haha, I would be super excited if this was 1995. You could try running AROS on it, it's SUPPOSEDLY compatible with the Amiga but if you want a classic system that will work, UAE.

      I have owned almost every Amiga model under the sun, and wouldn't be caught dead giving Cloanto a penny for work done in the 80's and early 90's by Commodore. If he/they eventually take over the development responsibility for the successors of AmigaOS 3.1.4 from Hyperion and actively carry that project forward, then of course I would fund such development and exclusively purchase those Roms.

    • @another3997
      @another3997 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@uberdude2555 We get it, you want stuff for free, because historically, you once owned Amigas, and therefore you feel entitled to the Kickstart Roms. Despite the fact that you sold them or gave them away, you still have the right to do what you want? Quite legally, Cloanto has paid money to OWN the rights to that Rom code and can do whatever they wish with it. Do you apply the same logic to the new owners of your previous cars, houses and anything else you once owned? You just go and help yourself when you feel like it? It's old, outdated stuff, so it should be given away freely? Tell that to the owners of anything antique... see what response you get. Your sense of entitlement is misplaced. If you want to use something, have the decency to not steal it.

    • @tahustvedt
      @tahustvedt 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@another3997 The previously owned cars point is absurd. It's the kind of argument the movie industry uses against copying software. I bought a 3.1 Kickrom license for my A500 with a pre-flashed EPROM, but I don't think it's great that someone bought the rights to sell them today when the alternative would be perfectly acceptable abandonware downloads. They don't even have an easy way to buy more licenses online. You have to buy an OS or buy pre-flashed EPROMs from a vendor. I just want the license because I can flash my own. I bet you have pirated games on your Amiga. If you were around back when you probably pirated games then as well. If you didn't you were very out of the ordinary.

    Bit of a story here Dan. I got my first Pi, a Pi2 B+ a few years ago with the express purpose of Amiga emulation. Set it up, gave it a go and ... that poor thing was underpowered for smooth Amiga emulation. So, it got turned into a PiHole, and has been running faithfully in that capacity every since. But this Pi 400 is the thing I've been dreaming of. Your video pushed me over the edge, and I've got one on my xmas wish-list. Hopefully wifey-Claus thinks I've been a good boy this year....

    I was so impressed with this tutorial that I ordered an Rpi 400 from OKdo 3 days ago, turned up this morning. Couldn't find any microSD cards spare so I thought I'd take a crack at using the official Rpi Imager to flash RetroPie to a USB flash drive instead. That worked. Thought I'd try and boot from it without doing a firmware update, figuring as the official docs said you need something after August 2020 and it's about 3 weeks old. That also worked. I haven't had a chance to put ROMs and things on yet but my trusty wired Xbox 360 controller was as plug and play as Dan's tutorial led me to believe, so I'm impressed that the whole thing works substituting a microSD for a USB device straight out of the box. Good work all round really!
    Just thought this might help people wondering about picking one up, and I'd say between this and LibreELEC soon to be updated for a good Kodi build (and potentially an easy way to dual boot with the USB and microSD as viable boot devices) you've got a stunning little multimedia device for, in my case, a shade over £65 with free delivery as I already had all the other gubbins lying around for power, a mouse etc.
    P.S. although you can enter the WiFi SSID etc with the gamepad... just don't. With the kind of default case-changing alphanumeric gibberish ISPs set by default it's not fun. 😂

    For a proper '80 feel, it is required that the keyboard feels a bit on the cheap side. Not necessarily Z80, Z81, or ZX Spectrum level of cheap, but it has to be a bit further away from the IBM Model M.

    Hi Dan, I have just bought the Amiga Forever essentials pack from the Google Play store, to hopefully run Pimiga on my Pi3b. I noticed that the essentials pack only has roms from 1.2 - 3.1; are these enough to run Pimiga 1.2?

    When I set up my retropie. I used a usb drive with a few folders set up in win 10 (instructions are on the official retropie website). You then insert the drive into the pi and it creates all the rom folders. You then transfer your roms into the relevant folders and reinsert it into the pi. It will autoput all your roms in the right place. Bit easier than messing around with the command line.

      If you want to simulate an Amiga, there are a few emulators:
      www.zophar.net/linux/atarist.html
      Always wanted to get an emulator for the Atari ST on the Amiga back in the day, but I don't think one was ever made. Had a MAC emulator, but it was pretty worthless since anything I could run on that worked on my Amiga natively anyhow.

    Great vid again Dan! Man I wish I had your knowledge on how to set one up. I'm more of a traditionalist I still like booting up my A500 to play games, trouble is all the games are deteriorated. But I'm starting to be more interested in Raspberry pi the more time goes by.
    Keep up the good work 👍
