Software : Pi Amiga Images

RetroPie / Pimiga / Amikit XE / AGS / Amiberry

Introduction

Different Pi images are popular within the Raspberry Pi community to quickly allow you to test out different OS, of course Amiga fans have started making Amiga themed / focus images that allow you to boot straight into an Amiga emulated setup and development of this has only improved as Pi systems have become more powerful and emulation support improve. Below are some of the main ones.

It should go without saying that you should only download games/software you own or legally allowed to be shared.

Retro Pie

One of the more popular images for pi's has been Retro Pie, its main purpose is to run emulated computer games of the past, including Amiga's, you can learn how to set this up and run it here, https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Amiga/

However, there are also pre setup one available too, not to sure on the legality of these images, but it does help end users have a quick setup, these also usually have nice art work and video intros for each game to make it easy to quickly find a game you're after,

Hyperspin is also a popular image / system that not just focus on Amiga but on various system, with really nice presentation of front end user interfaces, usually full graphics and video gameplay of Amiga footage is used, you can see what them system look like here

Most people use this kind of build just for the Games and so I would recommend another build for full AmigaOS experience.

Pimiga

This is becoming a popular build for its large pre-setup system (not to sure on the legality of all this, but it is provided as non-functional) you will need Amiga ROMs for the system to work which is easy to set up. Then you are taken in a highly customized AmigaOS3.1 GPU setup with almost every game and software you can think of for Amiga, all pre-setup and ready to go. Original Designed for Pi4 & Pi400 systems only, but since version 4 also supports Pi5 and x86 systems.

Amikit XE

Already one of the best distributed pre-configure Amiga setup you can get for the PC, its making the jump to Pi, with features like Rabbit Hole as well allowing you to still have access to linux apps from within the Amiga emulated setup making them feel part of the OS meaning this is a true solution to dumping your PC for Amiga!

Amiberry
