@kalleboo @DosFox @Charles @xodium When I get the keyboard, get the table situation figured out, etc. The I will try running a Mac emulator on my frankenmiga with the #PiStorm. Bet MacOS would fly on that thing :)

(I bet someone has already done this as well :))

Over 30 years later my PiStorm32 I2C powered A1200 has a RTC 😍 SSD just installed for when it will be once available. Now I am waiting for my CM4 fan and this could be PWM controlled as well via I2C as I could see 😍 #amiga #pistorm

@ActionRetro Ever got that Amiga running? Maybe a #PiStorm emulating a Mac could be fast enough?

Also, I always liked 68k better. Always kinda wonder what would have happened if Motorola would have developed it as aggressively as Intel did x86. PPC always felt kinda like an extra over-designed German car. Neat conceptually but not great to own.

Oki doki, so we are running on the latest TinyGL 0.4.1 from last year with glut extensions and vbcc compatible. Added my missing glutSetWindowTitle as we need the FPS 😅 To do, get rid of CyberGraphX and switch to P96. Improve performance! #amiga #pistorm

Some stress testing using the latest TinyGL to compile with vbcc and then giving the PiStorm32-lite a hard time with the Mech and software rendering (maybe Michal could leverage some OpenGL 3.1 ES capabilities of the Pi to the AMIGA in the future that would enable us to have a full and partially hw accelerated OpenGL port🙏🏻) #amiga #pistorm #opengl #tinygl

🤩 endlich eingetroffen 🤩

... mal sehen, wann ich Zeit dafür finde.

@vkc Hear me out. #emu68 and #pistorm and then emulate a Mac.

Lightning fast 68k Mac, on an Amiga. :)

I need to finish the re-arranging in the house so I can get an A2000 running. And the bastardized A500. Both will be PiStormed.

Anyone know if #PiStorm is up and running for #atarist yet?

@SteveG @ActionRetro What it needs is a #PiStorm :)

The soldering issues you should be aware of when using JLCPCB to assemble PiStorm32-Lite boards.

Only Amiga makes it impossible.

What could it be? Huh, enough teasing. Have a nice read :)

@retrotechtive @smallsco There’s always #pistorm which solves a whole bunch of things.

@ClaudeSchwarz Nobody has ever liked my idea, but I think it would be cool to run ARM with the #PiStorm. I think PPC was the wrong idea and an ARM Amiga was a great possibility. Imho :)

@asie these are good examples of making cheaper compatible peripherals for that era, #PiStorm is using the rest of the stock Amiga as those original compatible peripherals and replacing the CPU, and it’s a different take on using the old system that isn’t replicating the old system functionality, it’s providing a new environment that can be extremely compatible with old SW of the era while also able to provide modern graphics and network IO. Both cool though.

@asie I am curious how many people using a #PiStorm are not just replacing perfectly good CPUs because exclusively I have seen people talking about it in terms of adding a ton of functionality to existing systems, not because their CPUs are failing (or missing). M68000s, the only CPUs targeted by #Pistorm, are not nearly that expensive; 68040s do get up there and ironically a faster old Amiga is more expensive to make faster today.

to give some sense of the depth of interest in keeping Amiga systems running, I am not aware of anyone figuring out how to plug a raspberry pi into an 80386 motherboard socket like #pistorm

A storm has arrived at my #Amiga 500. A #PiStorm!
But much setup still to do... 😊

@ActionRetro I highly recommend a RGB to HDMI card. Like this https://www.tindie.com/products/retrofletch/cpld-amiga-hdmi-2000-3000-for-raspberry-pi-zero/

Fiddling with the weird monitor out isn’t fun.

And a #pistorm https://www.tindie.com/products/retrofletch/pistorm-2k-for-a2000-flashed-and-tested-amiga-2000/ which is faster than any other accelerator. Plus other bonus stuff.

Just ask @ClaudeSchwarz and @michalsc :) #emu86

(The RGB2HDMI is a must.)
