Title: Smaller project for Amiga - Using Raspberry 1
Post by: proplayer77 on December 16, 2017, 10:17:19 am

Im thinking about making a smaller project before making the full size cabinet. (have gathered all stuff for the full size allready, including wood and electronics :)).

My idea is to make a Amiga (my best gaming machine ever on 80:s) project only.

Im thinking about using the Raspberry 0/1 image : https://retropie.org.uk/

(Have one of these older Raspberrys without other use.)

Any experience on controls, and overall use with pi 1.

Also:

Does anyone have instructions how to add easily emulators for the Raspberry 0/1 version and remove the ones i dont need.

Its going to be one player version to make it small on size.

Might want to check this out.

you'll need to overclock on a rpi1 and not sure it will play everything.

if you go with retropi all the info is on their forum and wiki.

Hmm, i have to think about this if you mean i have to overclock the Pi.  Maybe i should get a newer Pi to make things more easy :D

amibian is a distro that only emulates amiga.
i'd try that first just to see how it works for you before going out and buying another pi.
