This is a BareMetal build of an Amiga emulator system that can be used on lots of different Intel or Arm based systems. It comes in an image you upload to an SD card or USB stick to boot from, you can also install it on an SSD.  Not only does it provide Amiga emulation, but within it, it also emulates early Mac systems and allows you to run early Mac games. You do however need to provide kickstart ROMs to get it working, but if you own Amiga Forever from Colanto then you already have them! Its a great way to breathe new life into old hardware by turning it in to an Amiga.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFa8YWv6j98  Eric – 2048 for Pico-8 (GREAT VERSION!)  https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=153397  Please give us a review on Apple Podcasts!
