PiMiga 4:
Is a project by Chris Edwards, a former Commodore Amiga technical services engineer, who aims to create the ultimate Amiga-like experience on Raspberry Pi 4 and 400. PiMiga 4 is a Linux-based operating system (Debian) that emulates the Amiga hardware and software, allowing users to run thousands of classic games and applications on their Pi devices.
PiMiga 4 is the latest version of the PiMiga series, which started with PiMiga 1.5 in 2020. PiMiga 4 has many improvements and features, such as:
- Bootable from a single USB device on Intel/AMD and Pi ARM series processors
- Pre-configured with WHDLoad, a tool that allows loading Amiga disk images directly from the hard drive
- Includes a large collection of games, demos, music, and utilities
- Supports HDMI output, wireless keyboard and mouse, and USB controllers
- Has a user-friendly interface with icons, menus, and wallpapers
PiMiga 4 is a free and open-source project that can be downloaded from Chris Edwards’ YouTube channel or his Patreon page. PiMiga 4 is a tribute to the legacy and nostalgia of the Amiga, and a way to enjoy its rich library of software on modern hardware. 🕹️
