I recently got my PiStorm powered Miggy up and running in RTG mode so I thought I'd do a little video showing off just how good it is :cool:

I built this 1200 mostly out of eBay spares over the past 2 years and the motherboard came from AmigaKit (reconditioned).

Having fun setting it up with 3.2.2, I'd forgotten a lot of the techniques to get it all configured but it's slowly coming back to me.

I was originally running just an Indy Mrk3 but it was proving difficult to get a good mode on my CRT so I gave up and switched to RTG. I do have a nice RGB to S-Video cable and a RetroTink2x so that is an option if I can't be bothered to wait for the FrameThrower AGA.

Very nice. 👍🏻

I take it you know that EMU68 will be getting some improvements etc? Added PPC.library extention. Also talk of Native Amiga OCS/ECSAGA through PiStorm as well 😉
 
A really nice build!

When the Frame Thrower arrives the PiStorm will be almost irresistible (not that it isn't already an awesome upgrade for our miggies)
 
I probably should mention that in the screen shots above that's Day of Tentacle on my desktop in 32-bit color and using a 2X TV scanline upscaler running on ScummVM RTG and Wing Commander 2 running on DOSBox RTG (slowly).
