PiTubeDirect VS Amiga-Digital-Video

See also, PiTubeDirect[1], which runs on a Raspberry Pi which you have plugged into the second processor port of a BBC Micro[2], and turns the Pi into emulator for a number of different processors, notably an arbitrarily fast 6502, a Z80, or an 80286.

IMHO this makes the PiTube Direct project perhaps even more impressive: it attaches emulated vintage microprocessors to the BBC Micro Tube interface, implementing the Tube circuitry in software.

BBC Micro/Master - PiTubeDirect - emulates a load of second CPUs for for BBC. Lets you run CP/M, DOS.

It's a shame he desoldered the tube connector. He could have used it for a pitubedirect (https://github.com/hoglet67/PiTubeDirect)

There's a similar project for the Acorn BBC Micro called PiTubeDirect, which allows the Pi to emulate several different CPUs, while connected to the BBC Micro's "tube" second processor slot.

(The BBC Micro itself was quite remarkable for supporting multiple processors, which did not have to be the same architecture as the host 6502.)

If you ever do want to play with Tube like this, I've heard of https://github.com/hoglet67/PiTubeDirect - not got around to trying it yet - but I want to.

I expect the tube version will be for 6502 3mhz, but worry not! https://github.com/hoglet67/PiTubeDirect/wiki

There's rgb2hdmi, Amiga OCS/ECS specific, and OSSC, for any VGA/RGB/Component source.

I use a version of this for my 2000s (https://github.com/c0pperdragon/Amiga-Digital-Video) but on my 500s PiStorm and an external RGB SCART to HDMI box that you can buy cheap AF on eBay.

Computers: 1. Commodore 64 Pi1541 - emulates 1541 floppy drive for Commodore 64. Video review 2. Amiga RGB2HDMI - convert Amiga's RGB video signal into friendly HDMI output. Video review 3. Amiga Pistorm - emulates faster version of Motorola 68000 CPU. Theoretically, can be used in any machine that uses 68k chip. But I hear mostly about Amiga Pistorm implementation. Basically, Pi Zero emulates faster CPU, video modes, acts as HDD storage, HDMI output etc. Pistorm does what popular Amiga accelerator boards do for hundreds of space bucks. Video review

If you want to go the HDMI route, there is this device. It sits in one of the chip sockets and uses a PiZero to add a HDMI socket.

Would HDMI or DVI be acceptable? Maybe this would work for you there are a few people on eBay selling them, the hardest part is getting a raspberry pi

You can build the adapter board yourselfhttps://github.com/c0pperdragon/Amiga-Digital-Video

For me at least - for ease of use and display quality, I have found the OSSC very good and works well my my original Xbox with component cables, however I am looking to try out the Raspberry Pi option with my A500 at some stage, especially since it can be powered and mounted internally within the Amiga which seems pretty cool.
