Hi Lee, fantastic short, but if you haven't see Amikit for P5 you should review it, its awsome modern day Amiga desktop, i run it on my P500, with the raspberry pi screen, its really awsome en really good optimized!
It still amazes me almost 40 years later just how good the Amiga could be. I had an A500 and a CD32. The gameplay and the graphics do not age too badly at all in many of the games. The Amiga was fantastic and I love using Amiberry and the like to play classic games and use classic software. I would definitely like to set up a PiMiga SD at some point in the future when I can find the time. can now use all the Amiga software I couldn't afford to get back in the day and run it at the spec of any Amiga ever produced. Magic!
The game I played a *Lot* on Amiga, was Emerald Mines. Assorted versions, over the years. To play it on the Pi, I'd need a good controller - and a long lasting SD card. (And a copy of the game, of course).
With regards to the Chris Edwards Restoration link referral, when I look at ne of his videos for Pimiga, there is a very specific statement. "**PIMIGA contains no amiga kickstart roms and will NOT boot until you purchase them or legally own them." But this demo shows thousands of games, so is it fair to Chris Edwards to give the potential appearance that he is involved in obvious piracy?
I still remember when apps were called programs.
I know not to long ago you made a tablet with the pi 500. Have you considered using the cm5 in a cutiepi tablet?
I’m looking at different possibilities
Where can I download the Raspberry Pi-KDE Plasma software that you mention in this video please?

Are Dune 2 there to?

Now this is the excellent combination of PiMiga and the form factor of the Pi 500 :)
I did this with the Pi 400 but the Pi 500 has more oomph.
I'm surprised more power is needed to emulate a computer released in 1992.

Very cool
You definitely need a joystick to play. A gamepad isn't nice for that.

Literally the only thing I'd buy a Pi 500 for
