Next step is to use the DE1 Board for this Core. But I must find the Time for that.

Do you own a DE1 Board yourself and do you also release the source for the DE2 Board?

I can't read the page, but would I be correct in thinking that this allows a particular FPGA dev board to be used as a Minimig?

Fascinating :-o I suppose since they could not find a 512k 1.3 ROM they used a 2.0 rom. If they use  3.0+ roms they could also enter the boot screen to change the screen from PAL (50hz) to NTSC (60hz), I wonder if they didn't because 3.0+ roms are not compatible with the miniming.

Did TobiFlex design the 68k core himself?

Great work TobiFlex !

 :-)

Thanks for the pof programming file; however, are you also going to post the source code especially since the Altera DE2 is expensive ?

You need the Altera Quartus Web Edition to transfer the Bitstreamfile into the DE2 Board. Also you need a SD Card with the "KICK.ROM" into the root folder.

Yes I have done this myself.

First I will transfer the Core into the DE1 Board and clean up the Code. Also I must find some Bugs.
But one Day in the future I will publish the Source Code. Yes.
