Thanks Chris! By the end of the day, I will have PiMiga4 on a Pi5 and I will rewrite my Intel Cards. I hope more people will throw you a few bones to help support all the wonderful work you do.
What an amazing Project. Just build my personal "Black Amiga" with a Pi5 using your image. Then i updated "bookworm", killed the Screenreader, updated Amiberry to v6.3.3 (preview). Now everything works perfectly. Even managed to get Fullscreen @100Hz on non-RTG Modes, fluid scrolling. I will now manually update the WHDLoad Games, since some slaves are outdated. Got Factor 4.21 on the 68040/25MHz, that's enough. Thanks again for making this happen in 2024. ❤
Continued appreciation for everything you do for the best computer community _ever_, and thus the best computer ever: _AMIGA_! Renewed my sinco Patreon as a thankyou for your impressive work on PiAmiga. I've recently revived a number of Mac laptops, installing the highest Mac OSeX (ahh) version they'll take. Looking forward to dedicating the proBook that maxes at 10.6.8 to finally get an Amiga back in my computing world again!
thanks Chris ! Your golden, this is why I bought the RPI5 so now lets see where I put that little thing. please also thanks to your gorgious assistent Mister Jim and MONA offcourse. 🥰 but wait there's more,,, now I can run it on my GMKtec nucbox3 see how that will perform thanks. so much. 👍
As far as I've could try pimiga4 on intel arch, you'll need a pc with UEFI Boot. If you have an old pc without UEFI you still can use this image if: 1. Remove both EFI partitions. 2. Create a new one as BIOS Boot (gparted). 3. Chroot into the partition 4 (intelpartition) and reinstall grub.
I'm new to Pimiga, thank you for all the work you do in providing such a great resource. I've installed the full 128gb version onto a Pi 4b with 8Gb of ram, but it seems to be quite laggy & often crashes back to the Linux desktop (or occasionally just freezes altogether). I'm using a legit 1200rom 3.1 Clearly I'm doing something wrong! (Edit to include pi hardware version)
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration could be. It's an all singing & dancing SanDisk. But I can't tell how old. I'm gonna try a new one and see how we get on. It also took the pi image writer about 2hours to write it to the SD card (i9 32gb ram 3070ti GPU) so again maybe that points towards a dodgy card?
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Just to finish this up. Turns out it's two issues. 1. The SD card was an older one, maybe 5 years old and knackered. 2. The bigger issue was a power issue. I was using a usb port to power the pi4b, and I'm 99.9% sure it was browning out as when I plugged the pi4b into a high output power pack I couldn't make it crash. So thanks again!
The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or to a difference or range between two temperatures. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who proposed the first version of it in 1742. The Fahrenheit scale (/ˈfærənˌhaɪt, ˈfɑːr-/) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the European physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736).[1] It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) as the unit.
Am I correct in this - it will not boot on an Intel i3 dual core that has the old bios? You're saying it has to be the more modern UEFI? Is that right? Besides my gaming rig, I still have my HP laptop (winblows10) from 2010 which originally came with win7. Thanks for all your hard work. I had an Amiga 2000 back in the day. I later put a 2500 in it and the video upgrade card and I had first the 286 then the 386 25MHz and each side had its own mouse and video which I A/Bed with a switch. So it ran DOS, Win3.1 and Amiga. I even had a SCSI tape backup to back up both harddrives. If I remember, the Amiga had SCSI and the PC side was IDE... forget. I made a special bracket to support that Intel side HD. The Intel side had a special board/card that had video and a bunch of other stuff (joy connecter) and a proprietary mouse connecter. It also had a dual or combo 5 1/2" and 3 1/4" floppy ? forget my numbers floppy and the two Amiga 3 1/4". There was a special key combination and you could flip-flop from Amiga to Intel and back (toggle). That baby was my pride and joy. I soaked a lot of money into hardware, games and programs. Oh, I also A/B ed... what was it, the Keyboard... something else besides the VGA - just can't remember what it was . I also had joysitcks for both sides. It was somethin - I mean it and all in one box. Years later I couldn't find a soul to buy any of it - now I could probably get whatever I asked! I really enjoyed learning command line on both sides too. I even wrote a bunch of basic programs for myself (Amateur radio related) Qbasic and I forget what Amiga basic was called - maybe just that. At least I think there was an Amiga basic. The years have made things fuzzy because there was Vic20, Atari 800, Amiga, DOS, Windows, then linux - love Arch 'the Arch way'. Praise God it has been quite a ride. It all started at the end of 1980 - well, at work GM, even before that. Happy Easter Chris and thanks
Many thanks again Chris for you and your colleagues hard work. Not your problem but using qbitorrent on my Pi5, it is unable to download the file, qbitorrent is stuck on stalled, annoying.
Just got my pi5 and wanted to test pimiga, I think I followed the readme, copied the correct 1200 3.1 rom as kick.rom in the correct volume. But when it boots (no wow) black screen, F12 quit : I am in a debian xfce. no raspi-config icon on the desktop. each amiberry shortcut on the desktop lead to a black screen. I opened a terminal and ran a sudo raspi-config, expanded the filesystem, rebooted. All emulators lead to a black screen. also on terminal sudo gparted says not found. I did not take the intel torrent nor the universal, I took the one for pi5.
Rom copied correctly. Or named correctly? Where did you get the ROM from? If you recently purchased Amiga forever, you need to run its emulator one time to decrypt its ROM files then they can be used on any system. Make sure you use the a 1203.1 kickstart and name it kick. Rom if this is failing, please jump on the discord server, which is linked in the extended description and we can help you live.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I gcc decrypt-amigaforever-main and now it's rock'n'roll baby ! Now need a case and fan since the 5 is much hotter than the 4. You did a very good job, everything works, sound, etc. it's stupid fast !! the debian xfce is even a good daily drive-able distro. Thanks!
10 US dollar sent by Pay Pal. Thanks for all you hard work Chris and previous help you gave me when I was trying to get the original image working on my OLED Steam Deck. Can you please advise if the Intel image is the most likely one to work on the OLED Steam Deck? I have a lifetime licence for Cloanto Amiga, which is the best kick rom to use? Thanks again.
Than you for your amazing work. I peviously had the pimiga4 128GB version on a USB stick, which I use on x86. If I understand correctly this new 64GB split version basically has the same content (baring Amiga Live on ARM). The main bebenfir is that it fits on a smaller 64GB stick?
Looks an excellent project and having been swept up in the nostalgia I've ordered myself a pi400 (arriving tomorrow) and written the 64GB ARM image to SD, however I'm having a little trouble getting hold of a ROM. The play links appear to not find anything, and searching the play store for Amiga Forever Essentials returns no result. I've looked at the Amiga Forever website and the play store link is dead from there also with the only option to buy Amiga Forever including the 3.1 ROM coming in at £39.95! Is this the only solution now, or am I missing something? (It's about £38 more than I was hoping for!). TIA
Man, you sure love these AI spits on thumbnails... Problem is that when I am scrolling videos yours doesn't stand out as Amiga related and its easy to miss because its like any other gazillion "AI" related videos...
Thanks Chris- amazing work! I have a quick question which is probably more to do with my user error than anything else- I’m running the ARM edition on a pi4. When i drop down to Xfce, i can’t find gparted or raspi-config, so I’m unable to expand the FS or set locale details. Are they present in Xfce or should i be looking somewhere else? Many thanks!
@ChrisEdwardsRestoration My big question is how far can we push this at it still be stable? For example, I currently have an unused Xeon workstation with a total of 72 cores and 256 GB of RAM (ridiculous Overkill) so how many of these resources could I allocate to the Intel image-based system or how far could I push CPU, RAM, video, etc emulation with it still being stable?
That’s a good question for comparison. We stuck it on a 64 core AMD thread ripper server at work and it ran totally fine. It was faster than anything I’ve ever used in my life. I did have to edit my super pursuit mode, icon and up the core count of the file that it runs, so I don’t know the real limit but 64 core with hyper threads ran fine. I like to see what people can get it running on.
Hi love your work with Amigas, I'm having 3 problems firstly when it opens, the screen size needed changing but the largest mode that's available is UAE: 1024X768 32bit RGBA, so half my Dock items don't show and the wallpaper doesn't show correctly. When I push F12 it shows as fullscreen 1920x1080 bit never gives me that option in workbench. (Monitor works in 1920x1080 mode in Windows) Problem 2 is F12 I need to push it over and over before Amiberry GUI opens correctly it partially opens the window each time is there but no settings, then suddenly they open? Problem 3 no sound, I've been through settings and I found my device but it says unavailable. This is on a PC Thank you for any help.
I have similar issues on my PC. When I push F12, sometimes the Amiberry GUI window opens partially and the settings are not available. I need to push F12 over and over until it appears. It drives me crazy... On the initial release of Pimiga4 - the one with both ARM and Intel - it used to work fine. So what went wrong ? How can we fix it so that it works again like on the initial release ? I also have another issue. Pimiga changed something in my BIOS and now I cannot boot my linux live distros that are on USB sticks. I need to disable UEFI secure boot first, which was not the case before. This is not a big issue and I can solve it by flashing a BIOS update, but this is odd. Don't misunderstand me, Pimiga4 is a great software, I really love it and I mean it. But this issue with the Amiberry GUI window is really a pain.
I have found a solution ! The issue is related to Linux Debian : the Amiberry GUI does not stay on top of the other applications. So whenever the GUI is not accessible, use alt+tab to navigate between the applications and come back to Amiberry GUI. Activating "always on top" and "GUI always on top" also seems to help although it does not completely fix the issue. These two options are under "miscellaneous".

@@IgorPetrovich77 No this doesn't run ON Windows, it's an OS replacement so it will completely replace Windows and run on the bare hardware. It uses Linux as a shim OS to host the Amiga OS. If you want to use it ON Windows you'll need to install something like UAE and extract the Amiga files from Chris' distribution to build your own UAE system. There are some other comments talking about the process..

@@IgorPetrovich77 no no, its its own OS debian linux 12, its a standalone boot, once done remove the usb and your back to your OS without touching anything
does not work as in what way... it should boot. but in the readme you will see that I did not add every single graphics card driver, you may have to run the sudo synaptic (package/driver manager) and check to install some specific AMD stuffs. - as long as that PC uefi boots, and you pressed the boot time one time boot seleect to boot to your uefi disk it should work fine.

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I did it with and without LAN. I figured out what the problem was. The problem occurred every time the image was recorded to the USB that is in my computer's case, and after inserting it into the USB directly on the motherboard, everything is fine :) Everything works, everything is fine :) Regards.
I run with WinUAE from Amiga Forever, (AF interface itself is too inflexible for my needs) by using Linux Reader to copy the folders to my hard drive. I use the provided config files from Chris and just remap the directories and it doesn't know the difference.
Pimiga4 is great and well done BUT iT DESPERATELY NEEDS THE OPTION TO SAVE CONFIGURATIONS!!!!! i am sick and tired of pressing F12, going to SOUND, dropping the frequency to 22khz just to stop the audio from cracking everywhere, and having to select my game controller EVERY TIME I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING. There is NO OPTION to save the configuration!!!
Hi - Im sure if you have concerns then the community will come around you to help resolve it. However, all caps, exclamation marks and "sick and tired" seems a bit disrespectful to Chris as he does all this work for free and the vast majority of you donate the square root of fuck all. So be nice, ask nicely and be polite.

16 GB RAM
VRAM Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
P.S.:
I bought this all 5+ years ago...(In 2017-2019+- -+ years)
Possibly
If it boots w uefi
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration thanks for the answer...
Just one more question...
One guy in Discord of Pimiga server said me, what this supported and working on Intel x86 machines, so, my Windows 7, x64 - architecture...
I not sure this still will be working or no?(If x64 bit)
@@IgorPetrovich77 No this doesn't run ON Windows, it's an OS replacement so it will completely replace Windows and run on the bare hardware. It uses Linux as a shim OS to host the Amiga OS.
If you want to use it ON Windows you'll need to install something like UAE and extract the Amiga files from Chris' distribution to build your own UAE system. There are some other comments talking about the process..
@ffsireallydontcare i see, This mean, if downloading and installing Pimiga4_INTEL.img on flash card 64 GB, and then will be boot form it, then my PC which also with CPU from intel, Intel Core i7 willl be run how own OS with emulator Amiberry inside instead of my Windows 7?
All correct?
@@IgorPetrovich77 no no, its its own OS debian linux 12, its a standalone boot, once done remove the usb and your back to your OS without touching anything
When I click on the discord link it tells me I am not worthy. (Invitation Invalid) (:
Its valid. Install discord first
Has anyone tried running this on Beelink SER5 Pro? Which version should I choose? I tried last version PiMiga 4, but it does not work :(
does not work as in what way... it should boot. but in the readme you will see that I did not add every single graphics card driver, you may have to run the sudo synaptic (package/driver manager) and check to install some specific AMD stuffs. - as long as that PC uefi boots, and you pressed the boot time one time boot seleect to boot to your uefi disk it should work fine.
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thank you for help! There was a problem with graphics driver. But now I don't have audio (it wasn't before too). How I can activate it?
@maciejbar7559 so you had sound now you dont?
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I didn't have sound and don't have now. I tryed to choose output from emulator settings and debian, but without luck :(
Does this work on 4:3 aspect ratio screens? The previous version I tried would not work at such an aspect ratio.
its the same thing
was never meant to
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Wait..what do you mean it does not wokr on 4:3? Amiga has always been 4:3 and most of the apps as well...I don't understand.
Seems to work fine at 1280x1024 (5:4)except maybe deluxe paint it loads a black screen with a new mouse pointer but doesn't seem to load, maybe I need to give it a couple mins though but games everything else fine
Please help. After installing the 64G ARM version, an error message appears at startup - fsck terminated with satrus 12, and after installing the 128G version, another problem appears at startup - FAILED messages saying - Failed to start (system-timesyncd.service - network time synchronization...) how to fix it? I have a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB
idk never had that one, boot it w ethernet connected?
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I did it with and without LAN. I figured out what the problem was. The problem occurred every time the image was recorded to the USB that is in my computer's case, and after inserting it into the USB directly on the motherboard, everything is fine :) Everything works, everything is fine :) Regards.
Hi Dr. Chris can you do a hard disk image of pimiga so I can use it with amiga forever or even on a real amiga
Flash it to a card and make a image of the disks. I dont do hdf i do regular folders and works fine
I run with WinUAE from Amiga Forever, (AF interface itself is too inflexible for my needs) by using Linux Reader to copy the folders to my hard drive. I use the provided config files from Chris and just remap the directories and it doesn't know the difference.
Pimiga4 is great and well done BUT iT DESPERATELY NEEDS THE OPTION TO SAVE CONFIGURATIONS!!!!! i am sick and tired of pressing F12, going to SOUND, dropping the frequency to 22khz just to stop the audio from cracking everywhere, and having to select my game controller EVERY TIME I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING. There is NO OPTION to save the configuration!!!
Is this on the new image? I'm positive I was able to save configs on the old one (Intel) I've not tried the new image but I hope to later today.
@@JimWood28 you can save configs.
Hi - Im sure if you have concerns then the community will come around you to help resolve it. However, all caps, exclamation marks and "sick and tired" seems a bit disrespectful to Chris as he does all this work for free and the vast majority of you donate the square root of fuck all. So be nice, ask nicely and be polite.
@@Typewriter71 wow… you are right I did do that. My apologies, and to you as well Chris…
Great
You link is dead!!!!
um no its not its from my google drive
Thank you so much!
Danke!
Thank you so much!!
