New Minimig cores available

[TheDaddy]

Excellent!

Well done Jacub!

Well done Dennis!

From reading the readme.txt it looks like this core is what we needed.

Keep up the great work.

Don't forget to email me amigarulez@hotmail.com
if you need some clothes for your Minimig.

Brilliant news! :-)

@Darrin,

Awesome work, I'll update the list on my site when I can.

Thank you! :-)

[TheDaddy]

>>cough> does Superfrog work ?

I think it does already, just the main sprite (Superfrog) was corrupted, I think this new core addresses that.

I'll let you know, I will update my site soon with all the games working with this new core. :-)

Everything is there :-)

@yaqube

Awesome work!

Superfrog is, in my opinion, the best 2D platformer.

Well Done! :-)

@boing4000

>>just tested: Pinball Dreams can write its highscore on "disk"!! *happy*

That is music to my ears! :-)

@straycat

>>Fantastic news! Congratulations Jakub for releasing such a major update to the Minimig!

It is brilliant isn't it?

:-)

[TheDaddy]

Another excellent piece of work from Darrin :-)

[TheDaddy]

>>Thank Jacob, not me. That's the guide I found on the net when I needed to do my update. I've just tweeked it a bit to remove some of the technical stuff and break the steps up a bit more.

Well, it has made my upgrading a bit easier, let's say that :-)

[TheDaddy]

>>Fantastic, we've hung in there and it's been worth it!

I know it's brilliant!

I am going to enjoy playing all my favourite games it. :-)

@Darrin

Great list, thanks again.

Can you tell me how many Amiga floppy disks a 1GB SD-Card can hold and roughly how many games (considering that an Amiga game on average is 2-3 floppies)?

Thank you,

Loriano :-)

[TheDaddy]

Hi Yaqube,

>>So 510 is left for ADF's

So we are looking at around 500 games per 1GB SD-Card?
 :-)

[TheDaddy]

@mahen

>>Assuming you can put about 200 games, assuming each game takes about one month to complete, (though some can last forever), one SD would last about 17 years, which is quite acceptable.


That is both funny and awesome! :-)

[TheDaddy]

>>3. If I buy a minimig now...

Don't forget the enclosure for it! :-)

[TheDaddy]

Guys,

Think about it.

The Minimig is now your new Amiga 500/600 with more modern features:

PS/2 ports
Programmable FPGA
VGA Output
Scandoubler
SD-Card as storage
Small, really small even compared to an A600
Speaker/headphones connector
Small footprint
Great compatibility
ADF writing support (in the future: hard file support)
Nice, elegant case

I can't think of anything else :-)

[TheDaddy]

@Yacube and Darrin,

It depends on how tall (thick) the board is, from that image I don't think it's very high.

I would have to have another hole drilled for the USB, but this maybe possible in the second revision of the enclosure, I would need that board by the way for dimensions :-)
