Just an overview of my Amiga 600 case with 3d printed backplate and Pi4 4GB interior. I doubt there is another Amiga that looks so accurate but plays so powerfully as this machine can do.
Looks tidy with the 3D printed parts and a fair use of an empty case. Another video putting the emulation through its paces running Amiga games and demos would be great.
I would do, an internal demo and piamiga demo, but it is now sold to someone that was very interested in it ☹️🙂. However I do still have piamiga though it is in my picolecovision 🙂
I started building exactly the same thing! I retrobrighted the keys on mine which came out lovely: then had to park the project to move house. Two years later; when I dug it out of the loft again, the keys were a deep shade of ORANGE! Very annoying! I keep meaning to get another A600 keyboard or try and re-bleach them to get it kicked off again now PiMiga is so complete!
Also: I have the usb mouse from the A500 mini, very nice; but I could never get original mice or joysticks working with the adaptor (key-rah 2 rings a bell).
Yes my keyboard was the same very yellow but 50c on the hob with 12% and they sort of returned to ok, though by your words this is only temporary 😊. The only hassle is the keyboard adaptor that is hard to come by unless you make it yourself, it also doesn't initialize with the pi4, meaning it needs turning off and then back off, then it is fine. With piamiga then installed it works perfectly out gunning pretty well any other Amiga. Ps is for sale on eBay with a gradually reducing price 🙂
@@jaistanley I've not tried an original Amiga mouse in it (though do have one somewhere), using a usb mouse though makes sense as it allows you to manage the Linux backend a little easier (set to f9 on this config as f10 is used by the game loader).
Looks awesome I love the functionality of it all and the way mods still look original! Are you planning on fitting an actual usb floppy drive behind that 3d printed cover plate?
Hello, yes you can fit a floppy drive in there and a usb interface is available to load Amiga software. To do this on a A600 though you would need to think about very careful cable management inside or consider cutting cables down to just the length they need to be, as at it stands now the interior is packed full of wires, 2 interface pcb's and 2 usb hubs :-)
Thanks the 'grumpyoldgamer' sells them on ebay. It fit perfectly and is recognised on startup by the pi4. You do need to remove the bolts, make a 3d plate for it to sit a bit higher and then glue it in place 🙂.
