The office houses the main retro computing workstation. The three Mega ST 4 machines each have a defined role: one runs GEM-based productivity software, one is set up for MIDI music production with a connected synthesizer, and one serves as the development machine for ST software. The Mega ST 2 is the backup and testing machine. The MiSTer FPGA handles Amiga and DOS emulation with near-perfect timing accuracy, including my Amiga on the Minimig core (see how I run my Amiga today), while the MiST provides a dedicated Atari ST experience without the overhead of the MiSTer's larger feature set.

The three Mega ST 4 machines each have a defined role (see the Mega ST fleet for the full breakdown): one is kept as a factory-original heirloom reference, one is the modded demo- and game-machine, and one is the upgraded workstation running Geneva. The Mega ST 2 is the spare and donor machine.

The Batocera box in the living room takes a completely different approach, it's not about hardware authenticity, it's about convenience. A compact PC boots directly into the Batocera frontend, providing a console-like experience for casual retro gaming on the TV. Controllers are wireless, the interface is controller-friendly, and the focus is on games that work well from a couch rather than demos or productivity software that needs a keyboard and mouse.
