Nice looking classics you have clusteruk. :) I just skimmed through your video, will watch properly over the weekend.

I must admit, I haven't tried a Vampire, and the new femu does provide support for FPU reliant software.

C'mon Kolla, don't play dumb. You know that already.

A Pi just isn't like using an Amiga, and if people want a fast classic, Vampire is the way to go. Little details like hardware mouse pointer for instance. Some people insist on real scanlines and CRT monitors.

On the other hand, if people just want a cheap solution that gives a fast Amiga, Pi's are very strong on price vs performance.

And if you already have a fast PC by current standards, WinUAE is very nice.

If people want a new PPC based compatibility and AmigaDOS 4, Aeon / Hyperion will be happy to deliver them a system (eventually... ahem).

So there isn't a "best" or "winner". It depends what the end user wants, in terms of experience, as well as capability.

How did you get composite out to your 1084? As far as sound, speakers are usually necessary unless it is outputted to tv or some hdmi monitors with speakers.

I could be wrong on how clusteruk does it, but the audio port on a Pi3B also includes a composite video output.

4 pins (video, stereo and ground) rather than 3 pins (stereo and ground).

Right clusteruk? Finishing up watching now, it's a very informative video showing great taste in aesthetic design as well as practical engineering.
