An Amiga emulator for the Raspberry Pi 400
Add 100
Thanks to PiMiga, the Raspberry Pi 400 morphs into the Amiga 500 – or a successor to the classic home computer – with state-of-the-art ease of use and reasonable performance. Much of what PiMiga can do could be built as a DIY project (e.g., with DietPi [18]) in the Amiberry variant; however, that would mean a huge amount of work and deep diving into the configuration of various tools.
PiMiga impresses as a ready-made, complete package that only lacks the Kickstart ROMs. The microSD card is filled to the brim with classic games, so you can have weeks or months of fun trying out these old treasures. Even better, you can play with version 2 now (see the "PiMiga 2.0" box). Have fun diving into the Amiga software universe!
PiMiga 2.0
Just before this issue was to go to the printer, PiMiga developer Chris Edwards gave everyone an early Christmas present by publishing the brand new PiMiga 2.0 release. In a YouTube video [17], he shows off new features, such as the ability to switch quickly between three configurations, one of which is optimized for classic Mac OS emulation with ShapeShifter. The video description also contains the download link for PiMiga 2.0.
