Credit: Reinhard Grafl Even today, there are many enthusiasts who continue to buy and produce hardware dedicated to Commodore's famous 16-bit system. These people could be interested in the project that we propose today, created by a maker known with Reinhard Grafl. The work essentially uses a Raspberry Pi along with an adapter board to convert the Amiga's video signal into an HDMI output. It is designed to work with Amiga computers that use a Denise socket chip.

To obtain the desired result, an open source application is used, available on GitHub, called RGBtoHDMI. In case you are interested, you can find a series of videos that explain the project in more detail on the Grafl YouTube channel. The adapter board is open-source with schematics available for download on the Github page and Grafl also offers some pre-made units for sale.
Speaking of the union between past and present technologies, we recently also talked to you about a very developed project by the Reddit user known as GreedyPaint. This is the LimaTek Diskmaster player, which allows you to play full movies from a floppy disk, with obviously very low quality, using a custom platform based on Raspberry Pi and the x265 codec. For more details about this project, we recommend you read our dedicated news.
