       | If fidelity is what you're after, go for WinUAE (THE reference in
       | software emulation) or get a MiSTer (assuming that you don't want
       | to get an actual Amiga).

       | I did try Amibian but I think it doesn't support the Pi 400. Even
       | on a supported Pi I had some issues with it, I think it's quite
       | out of date.
