<h1>Running AmigaOS in 2026: MiSTer FPGA vs Amiberry on Pi</h1>

<p>AmigaOS 3.2.3 runs beautifully both on FPGA and on modern ARM boards — the question is which trade-offs you're willing to accept. Both approaches have their place, and the choice often comes down to what you're trying to do: run demos at perfect timing, or tinker with software at higher resolutions.</p>
<h2>Two Roads to the Same Workbench</h2>

<li><strong>Picking a monitor</strong> — a 4:3 panel at native 1280×1024 (like an older NEC MultiSync) gives the most period-accurate Workbench experience; anything widescreen needs scaling compromises.</li>
</ul>
<h2>When to choose MiSTer</h2>
<p>The MiSTer shines when timing accuracy matters. Demos that rely on
cycle-exact raster effects, games that use custom hardware tricks, and
software that depends on precise interrupt timing all benefit from the
FPGA's hardware-level reproduction. The Minimig-AGA core also provides
a more authentic floppy drive experience, including the characteristic
drive sounds and seek times that software sometimes depends on for
loading screens and copy protection.</p>
<h2>When to choose Amiberry on Pi</h2>
<p>The Pi is better for productivity and development work. Higher RTG
resolutions make Workbench usable on modern monitors. The ability to
easily swap between AmigaOS versions and hard disk images makes it
ideal for testing software. And the lower cost means you can dedicate
a Pi to Amiga development without tying up expensive FPGA hardware.</p>
<h2>The compatibility question</h2>
<p>Most Amiga software works on both platforms, but there are edge cases.
Some demos use raster tricks that only work on real AGA hardware or the
MiSTer's FPGA core. Some productivity software depends on specific
accelerator card features that neither platform emulates perfectly.
And the perennial question of Kickstart ROM versions — 3.1 for
compatibility, 3.2 for features — applies equally to both setups.</p>
<p class="redacted-note">Both setups now run side by side without any real winner — MiSTer for authenticity and demos, the Pi for tinkering and RTG resolutions.</p>
