<h1>The Retro Corner Today: A Snapshot of the Whole Setup</h1>
<div class="detail-content">
<p>What started with childhood memories of an Atari ST and an Amiga 500 turned into a full-blown home retro-computing corner after 2020. Here's what's actually running right now, spread across two rooms plus a handful of portable devices.</p>
<h2>Room by Room</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The office</strong> — home base for the serious gear: three Atari Mega ST 4 machines plus a Mega ST 2, a MiSTer FPGA covering Amiga/DOS/arcade cores, and a MiST FPGA dedicated to Atari ST. A Raspberry Pi 400 running Hatari and PiMiga rounds things out as the flexible, high-resolution alternative to hardware that can't quite keep up on screen quality.</li>
<li><strong>The living room</strong> — a Batocera box for casual, couch-friendly sessions across dozens of systems, from Atari ST to arcade to consoles, no FPGA timing precision required.</li>
<li><strong>On the move</strong> — a small collection of handheld emulation devices for retro gaming away from a screen.</li>
<li><strong>The focus, unmistakably</strong> — Amiga and Atari ST are the heart of the collection; everything else (DOS, arcade, handhelds) exists to fill in the gaps around those two platforms.</li>
</ul>
<p class="redacted-note">The honest status update: several open items remain — documenting the exact handheld models, and waiting on the A1200 Mini pre-order. Retro computing, it turns out, is never really "done."</p>
