Not sure if this has been posted yet, but interesting idea. Only for OCS systems so far:

That does look interesting. I am then wondering if we can do some post processing with the Pi to get some CRT feel back in the image. I am sure that will hit the response times a bit, but for productivity work, that would not be a huge issue.

Although not specifically mentioned on c0pperdragon's site, I think it would be possible to use it in an A1000 also. The Daphne chip only differs from Denise in the lack of EHB mode. They should be PIN-compatible otherwise.

It's a fantastic little board and kipper2k has already redesigned it to fit in an A600 with a PCB "surrounding" the Super Denise of this cute little Amiga.
Works very well (see EAB thread).

@jdryyz: I'm looking forward to your attempt in Amiga 1000 as it will be a natural move for me too for my stock A1000... need a good idea for the HDMI connector too...

I think you meant to direct that to TommyE.

I am not waiting on the HDMI adapter. Although, that may change depending on his experience. :)

Looks like making it work with the A1000 has some challenges:

My V2 board is on the way, should be here Monday which works with ECS. I'll be stuffing it inside my newly arrived A500+ and will report back. (Well, once I get a US power supply sorted...)

Ok here are the results from my first fire up after installation and my jaw was on the floor. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Here is the board, made by Abrugsch on RMCretro Discord, with the Pi Zero board all in the Amiga 500. It was super easy to install.

And here it is as I switched it on for the first time.

Workbench never looked so good to me, even if it did not have that warm glow from a CRT.

And lastly, a quick test of a game. Monkey Island gushing forth.

So I still need to dive down into the settings and permanently install the cables, but this machine just became a very quick and easy way for me to play Amiga games on real hardware in a confined space. Definitely can recommend this.
