White/Black Van Helsing Upgrade Pack
This pack includes -
Amiga Forever 8, AmiKit and 32gb SD with intial Amiga distribution setup.
Black and White mount frame
Raspberry Pi4 model B fitting kit - excludes Pi4
Checkmate 200w SFX Power supply
The Raspberry Pi4 is possibly the ultimate setup for the retro fan if performance and ease of use are the criteria. It has been the basis for most Retro emulation systems for quite a while now and can run a huge amount of old systems including some fairly powerful 3D engine based retro hardware like the PS1, Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn games which are often perfectly upscaled to higher resolutions.
Overall
If complete accurate simulation of the retro machine is not your thing then it is the obvious choice. Add to the Pi4 the Ami-Hybrid system that enables the most powerful Amiga experience outside of the usual PC emulation systems, then you will be in Amiga emulation heaven :-)
Performance
Amiga emulation performs above 200x the speed of an Amiga A3000 according to Sysinfo.
Pros
Very fast emulation performance, 1000mips in Sysinfo, 200+ x A3000
Linux based emulation
2gb (fine for Amiga) up to 8gb
With Ami-Hybrid you get best of both worlds
Cons
Not accurate emulation like the simulated hardware created in FPGA but much faster, well unless you change the monitor frequency to 50 hz refresh rate.

This is an early overview of the AmiHybrid concept.
