With FPGA Arcade and TiNA we have two very good proofen concepts already, I do not see much sense doing anything different. TiNA is not a special retro development so it could be really affordable and I am already looking forward to it. Something nice (additionally) would be a cheap mobile device in future and of course we have emulated environments already including Android. So I think already a pretty nice list :-). At least in the near future FPGA is the way to go...

Why have another Retro Amiga? IMHO emulators such as UAE do the job well enough. OK it may not be perfect but for me it does the job well enough. The way should be NG probably requiring a rewrite of AmigaOS for either Intel or ARM processors,most likely the latter.


That already exists. It is called "AROS"

In Amigaforever is only a nightly build. I have created a 68k distribution called "AROS Vision"

Then there is Icaros Desktop for X86:

Description (expecially regarding 68k distribution) is here:
http://www.aros-platform.de/html/icaros.html

On the Icaros site is a good manual (PDF)

if your hardware is not supported you can install and test it in a virtual environment like VMWare (installed native on supported hardware is of course better and faster)

Raspberry native port is in preparation (but at the start there will be not much software what will certainly change)
