In the latest episode of Future Retro Fusion, the host walks through the setup of the PiStorm Zero2W, offering some helpful tips along the way.
To start, installing the PiStorm requires a careful approach—it’s always a tight fit, so it’s best to go slowly and ensure it’s fully seated. Once in place, attention turns to the exposed pins. Covering them with tape or a piece of plastic helps prevent accidental short circuits. Alternatively, insulation on the back of the keyboard can also work as an extra precaution.
With everything securely in place, it’s time to reassemble the system and power it up. That familiar startup sound signals that everything is functioning as expected. If anything goes wrong beyond this point, the issue is likely software or SD card-related rather than a hardware problem.
Once booted, the setup runs through an RGB output for a more authentic display experience. The next step is launching iGame, a front-end for managing WHDLoad games on the Amiga. A quick test using Silkworm—one of the best-made games of its time—demonstrates how smoothly it loads. A simple press of “H” on the start menu, and within moments, the game is up and running.
With the PiStorm Zero2W in place, iGame makes launching classic Amiga titles a breeze, delivering that perfect blend of nostalgia and modern convenience.
