<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>
