loving my PiStorm with 3A+ it’s super fast and crazy stable with OS3.2👍

@Howmanymhz 3 ай бұрын

That's great! I may make a new install with 3.2 but Caffeine OS is running perfect now with the changes I made.

Why is RTG mode not supported? When using sysinfo need 2nd minitor is this normal and is there a workaround for RTG mode (apps and games)

@Howmanymhz 3 ай бұрын

This is normal. You need a second monitor for RTG. This is the way It always worked. I used a HDMI switch and a Frameister. There is a work around for the CM4 but it has not been officially released. It will run RGB thru the CM Pistorm board. This is where the Vampire is strong since you don't need to change monitors.

Nice review and the PiStorm32-Lite CM4 is an amazing peace of kit that accelerates the A1200 to a whole new level indeed, it took me weeks to adjust to the fact my A1200 is that fast. I've overclocked my CM4 to 2.2 Ghz and that gives a more than nice extra kick in performance and runs perfectly stable.

@Howmanymhz 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the disabled overclocked settings and was playing with the idea in my head. I think I will give it a shot.

It would be awesome if you did a video about the new RGB passtrough from Claude that soon will be available for Pistorm

I will find out more info about it to see what I can do.

You sound like a very tired Louis Rossmann! 😉I had to buy all the separate bits myself and but it together during the component shortage when CM4s weren't really available! You had it easy brother! Glad you got it working though! 😎

Thanks a lot. I just saw the product available and clicked on the button. In the Amiga world you have to be ready. If you blink and click the product is no longer available.

I'm considering getting the Pistorm32. I currently have a TF1260 with LC CPU (no fpu). I couldn't afford (or want) to pay for a full 060.. hmmmmmm

@Howmanymhz 4 ай бұрын

I am on the same boat as you. I can purchase a full060 but the prices are so high and I already have a TF1260. For the price it may be better to purchase a Pistorm32 Lite CM4 than a Vampire or a full 060. I also have a Vampire for the 1200 but this has so much power it feels faster than a Vampire for the 1200.

What about compatibility with classic amiga games and applications?

@ScimmiaDigitale 3 ай бұрын

It is not total but very good. You can use whdload

@Howmanymhz 3 ай бұрын

If you use WHDLoad you have very good compatibility. I also believe some of it is just the stability of the software. What software in particular are you speaking of? Remember the Kickstart version is also a culprit. If the software is for KS 1.3 you may have issues no matter the accelerator.

What is the HDMI monitors on your screen?

@Howmanymhz 4 ай бұрын

I am using a Dell monitor to see but I am using a Roland Video Switcher that has a scaler and a Framemeister to take the video. Also an Elgato Game Capture HD to record everything. My other video about using Amiga in production shows the switcher.
