The sentiment is nice, and while I wouldn't mind owning an Amiga again (my dad had an Amiga 2000 back in the early 90s), I'm concerned about the video output issue.

Namely, will I be able to find a screen that works and doesn't weigh a ton?



There are mods, something which takes a Raspberry Pi and uses it as a video converter and makes an Amiga 500 have HDMI output. But I think the FPGA Amigas are also very cool.

There's also a mod where you put a raspberry pi on top of the CPU, replacing the 68000 7 MHz CPU with an emulated 68060 at something like gigahertz speed.


Yes.

I have a few LCDs that work natively, but you can always use OSSC or something cheaper but less universal
