PiSTORM is a CPU emulator that uses a Raspberry Pi 3A+ (not included) that gives you a very accelerated and expanded Amiga experience.

This PiSTORM is mounted on a "relocator" that moves the CPU socket towards the back of the Amiga where there is more space. There are many models of relocators on the market but this one was specifically designed to be able to hand all the power draw of a PiSTORM and Raspberry Pi using 4 layers and extra beefy power planes.

The PiSTORM itself will give you about 25 times faster speed in sysinfo 4.4 and adds 128MB of Fast RAM memory, it also gives mountable kickstart ROMs and hard drive images from the SD card of the Raspberry Pi.

This is just the PiSTORM and the relocator, you will also need a Raspberry Pi 3a+ and an sd card which is not included!

The PiSTORM is fully tested and passes buptest as well as tested and booting on a real machine.

PiSTORM can emulate most of the 68K series of CPU's but it's recommended to run it as a 68020 for best compatibility.

But because it's emulating the CPU there might be certain games or demos that don't run well on the PiSTORM, so be aware of that, but with the PiSTORM being CPLD based it can easily be updated with bugfixes and improvements in the future.

Setting up the PiSTORM software isn't the easiest task for novices but there are plenty of guides both on youtube and in text form that guides you thru it step by step.

Here are a couple of good videos on the topic:
