Amibian: Light Weight UAE Distro for the Raspberry Pi 3
« on: September 04, 2016, 10:15:35 AM »
We've had such things before bu the options were bloated.

Now comes AmiBian, the most light weight UAE distro for the Raspberry Pi 3!

Amibian:  gunkrist79.wixsite.com/amibian

Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1628461327432398/

There are of course other distros which can also be found in the Facebook link.

Yes, it boots faster than a real Amiga, and it is able to run ADOOM and Breathless full speed!

It's got a few bugs as expected, but this is a LOT better than I was expecting!

I don't know, but I hope it does because it is amazing, even on the modest Pi 3.

Tis really a shame that it does not utilize more cores. One per chip for instance... :)

Given it a try but getting trouble with the config (F12) screen - it renders in an unusable resolution for the monitor I have on my Pi 3, so I cannot configure the options to truly have a play.  Anyone have any idea how to set the config-screen resolution in Amibian?  I've posted on their website but radio silence so far...


I didn't have any issues my self, so I'm not sure how to answer.

I do know that the web site seems kind of barren as it is new, but the Facebook link is very active. You should be able to get quick help there... in theory.

That is very strange.

I ended up having to edit the config files  myself as I recently received a 5.1" HDMI monitor. Though I can not say that it has caused me any issues.

I hope they can figure it out on Facebook. Sorry that I am no help.
