CPU emulator / accellerator using Raspberry PI

The Pistorm is a CPU emulator project that uses a Raspberry Pi 3A+ ( not included ) to give you a verry fast accellerated Amiga a500 or A500+. Will give you over 25 times faster speeds then a stock A500 and gives not only 128mb of ram but also the ability to load kickstart and virtual harddrives from the raspberry pi's SD card. For sale here is ONLY the Pistorm adapter, you will also need a Raspberry pi 3A+ and a SD card. There are plenty of guides online that shows you how to prepare a SD card and configure your pistorm, but its not a simple and quick job so not recommended for a novice user. Tested and runs "buptest" without errors. Pistorm emulates the CPU and can emulate most motorola CPU's used in the amigas, but its recommended to run it as a 68020 for maximum compatability. Even then there will probably be some compatability issues with software and hardware, but the good thing about a CPLD based design is that the core can be updated in the future to make fixes or add functionality.

Good videos to watch about the pistorm and its functionality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CwVofNogDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECJJXFKdR-I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnKQYWEbEvM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QKEVgKjH3I You can also read more on the pistorm projects github page: https://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm

This thing is brilliant!

So many possibilities, this device really opens up your Amiga to tinker around for hours of fun! No more need for physical kickstart ROMs, hard disks, etc!
