The A500 mini

[Freshmaker]

I play old games on my television, with a raspberry.
I have Amiga games too. It's not quite the same, but it's not bad for discovering

I find the A 500 mini expensive

What Pi have you got? And what OS have you got on it?

I'm going to sound like a broken record but, I don't see the point in purchasing a non-Amiga machine to use exclusively for Amiga emulation. If you're not going to get the real thing, you might as well get one that has other uses too.

Price could be a factor, also, reliability and the ease of plugging it into a modern TV and you just turn it on and it works out of the box. All of those are valid reasons why someone might.

I use a Raspberry pi 3 model B.
I have recallbox emulation station on it i think. Raspbian.
I have to check because I don't remember exactly what I put on it. it's been a few years already

Thanks dude! I would really appreciate it if you could give me pointers on a durable and usable installation I can use. I have the same Pi as you've got, but I've never managed to get any use out of it, because I haven't managed to find installations that I am able to (clever enough) to use.

I check on it and the OS is well raspbian il will send you pictures that i take, on messenger. Perhaps it will help you.
I remeber now. It s à friend who did this for me in 2017.

Thanks. I'll give Raspbian a look and see if I can manage something...

I got an A500 Mini for Christmas! Technically it was paid for using my Game points, so it was a freebie, but still...

I haven't tested it using my Amiga joysticks and a USB adaptor yet, but I have got it running Workbench, and there are now loads of WHDL games installed, which work great. Kick Off 2 seems to work just fine, but controlling it with the supplied gamepad isn't the same as using a proper joystick.

I also ran WordPerfect on Workbench, but this is a Kick Off forum, so nobody cares about that.
