<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>

<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. If you're weighing up the hardware options themselves (Vampire V4, A600GS or MiSTer) rather than the OS, head over to the <a href="/retro/amiga-modern-platforms/">hardware comparison</a>.</p>

<h2>Two Roads to the Same Workbench</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>MiSTer with the Minimig-AGA core</strong>, the most hardware-authentic option. Native resolution tops out around 800×600, with RTG (Picasso96) support pushing that up to 1080p. Timing accuracy and near-zero input latency make it the pick for demos and cycle-sensitive software.</li>

Native resolution tops out around 800×600, with RTG (Picasso96) support pushing that up to 1080p. Timing accuracy and near-zero input latency make it the pick for demos and cycle-sensitive software.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Amiberry on a Raspberry Pi</strong>, the flexible option. Running headless (no X11 desktop, straight from the console/KMS framebuffer) is the single biggest performance lever, the difference between a laggy desktop and a snappy 60fps Workbench.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>The HDF minefield</strong>, hard disk image files either carry an RDB partition table or they don't, and getting the geometry parameters (surfaces/sectors/reserved blocks) wrong produces the classic "Not a DOS disk in device DH0" error. Reformatting through HDToolBox from a fresh install is often faster than debugging geometry math.</li>
|
||||
<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>

<p>For now I'm not running original hardware, I reproduce my Amiga on the <a href="/retro/mist-mister-fpga/">MiSTer FPGA</a> using the Minimig core. My classic Amiga is mapped out there with Workbench and the tools I used back in the day, spread across different configurations and several Workbench versions, so I can revisit exactly how the machine felt across the years.</p>
|
||||
<p>I've also spent time with <a href="/retro/pimiga-journey/">PiMiga</a>, an Amiga-on-a-Raspberry-Pi distro that bundles Amiberry with a full A1200 AGA setup and Workbench 3.1. It's not real hardware, but it's another way to run the machine cheaply, and I documented how the different versions compare.</p>
|
||||
<p>I'm still keen on the real thing, though. Retro Games Ltd. is shipping an Amiga 1200 console on 4 December 2026, and I've been following everything public about it. There's a dedicated page on that: <a href="/retro/the-a1200/">The A1200: Release Date, Specs and What's Included</a>.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you want the detail on getting AmigaOS itself running across MiSTer and Amiberry, rather than comparing the hardware, that's covered on the <a href="/retro/amiga-hardware-landscape/">Running AmigaOS in 2026</a> page.</p>
