Ok, that is to YouTube I can't stop thinking about trying some Amiga stuff for the first time. I've always been curious but the hardware is expensive if you want the best experience and compatibility. I THINK I am most interested in the A500 as I haven't researched any games on the later hardware yet. For the time being I think emulation is a good starting point and I have researched a little on WHDload and Amiga Forever ROMs and such.
I really feel the best way to appreciate this and get a good experience is on a CRT. I have a super nice Gateway branded Diamondtron VX 720 hooked up to my Dell T500 with a 1.4GHz Tualatin upgrade mod, 512MB of RAM, Voodoo 2 12MB and GF4 to 4200 and Windows ME. I have a more modern core2 quad hooked up with a Dell 2007WFP at 1680x1050 that probably opens more options for emulators but prefer to play on my 9x box so I don't have to change monitors all the time.
So which emulator is best and still supports 9x? Last version numbers to support 9x would be very helpful of you have them. Is there anything drastic I'll miss by not using something XP/Vista (core2 machine runs BOTH)? Am I better off just getting a Raspberry pi 4 keyboard model and doing some sort of VGA adapter? Come on Amiga experts, give me some knowledge haha.
