      How well does a Pi 4 8GB handle Amiga games (500, 800 and 1200) vs the Amiga Mini?

      I'm sitting here working on my PI and never tried to load Amiga games on it before, so I am wondering how it handles Amiga 500, 800, and 1200 games (Including AGA enhanced) vs something like the Amiga MIni which is built for such things.

      How about the Commedore 64/128?

      (Just debating loading up an Amiga Library, or getting the mini is all)

        Most Raspberry Pis will run the Amiga emulators well. I imagine 1GB would be ample.
        Check the various videos on YouTube for example of performance

          @Jiryn I would go definitely for the PI and skip the Amiga Mini. Simply because the PI with RetroPie is far more flexible compared to the Amiga Mini.

          Sure it looks nice but the diversity of emulation offered by RetroPie is something the Amiga Mini can't compete with. C64 games and Amiga games run perfectly on the PI. Haven't tried C128 yet byt my guess is it will run great as well.
