Installing the PiStorm32-Lite CM4 on my Amiga 1200 and showing my experiences with the device. Opening up the box and setting up the device for the very first time.
This is normal. You need a second monitor for RTG. This is the way It always worked. I used a HDMI switch and a Frameister. There is a work around for the CM4 but it has not been officially released. It will run RGB thru the CM Pistorm board. This is where the Vampire is strong since you don't need to change monitors.
Nice review and the PiStorm32-Lite CM4 is an amazing peace of kit that accelerates the A1200 to a whole new level indeed, it took me weeks to adjust to the fact my A1200 is that fast. I've overclocked my CM4 to 2.2 Ghz and that gives a more than nice extra kick in performance and runs perfectly stable.
I am on the same boat as you. I can purchase a full060 but the prices are so high and I already have a TF1260. For the price it may be better to purchase a Pistorm32 Lite CM4 than a Vampire or a full 060. I also have a Vampire for the 1200 but this has so much power it feels faster than a Vampire for the 1200.
You sound like a very tired Louis Rossmann! 😉I had to buy all the separate bits myself and but it together during the component shortage when CM4s weren't really available! You had it easy brother! Glad you got it working though! 😎
Thanks a lot. I just saw the product available and clicked on the button. In the Amiga world you have to be ready. If you blink and click the product is no longer available.
If you use WHDLoad you have very good compatibility. I also believe some of it is just the stability of the software. What software in particular are you speaking of? Remember the Kickstart version is also a culprit. If the software is for KS 1.3 you may have issues no matter the accelerator.
I am using a Dell monitor to see but I am using a Roland Video Switcher that has a scaler and a Framemeister to take the video. Also an Elgato Game Capture HD to record everything. My other video about using Amiga in production shows the switcher.
Waaait a second!!! Your kit is 2x faster than the non cm4 version (80x A4000 '040)??? (just watched 8bit retro's review ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yCvq6aqt96w.html , 42,60 x '040)
It’s just a shame you had to buy off the so called Self proclaimed Messiah Steve Clifford of RetropassionUK 😬😞 I’m surprised it ended up at the correct address… Sorry… I won’t be subscribing to this channel. May comeback when you buy from a reputable store….
If you have something good to say about the Amiga, say it and display it. Save the Bla Bla Bla and your bullshit personality for your girlfriend or your mom. Really!
