Hoping this could push the costs of getting into Amiga hardware lower. I never got to use an Amiga in "the day", and seeing the prices continually creep and creep higher really discourages me.
- unixhero 5y agoJust buy a Vampire v4, done.
- renaudg 5y agoHe's complaining about cost, so a Vampire is not necessarily the best option (euphemism) A Raspberry Pi 4 with PiMiga is a great way to get your feet wet (and might be all you need eventually)
- kotaKat 5y agoI kinda wanted to play with a Video Toaster at some point.
- metroholografix 5y agoThe Vampire is a proprietary closed-source FPGA core that has nothing to do with the spirit of the Amiga. Their emulated CPU and chipset has glitches and issues are the order of the day. A miSTer FPGA is a much better option, being completely open. An original Amiga 500 is not crazy expensive yet, and WinUAE is also an option, being the best and most accurate software emulator for the entire range of the Amigas (a lot more accurate and faster than any Vampire).
- unixhero 5y agoVampire 4 works fine. Done.
- fredoralive 5y agoSeeing as this needs the original chips taken from an Amiga 2000, I doubt it'll lower much in the way of costs.
