Erm, why the hell are people going on about PAL/NTSC?

Yaqube has released updated PAL AND NTSC cores :-)

PZ.


Exactly.  PAL and NTSC cores have been around for almost as long as the mass produced Minimig itself.

If your TV will support the PAL signal then use the PAL core, otherwise use the NTSC core.  Most games are NTSC anyway.

As for the controllers, if the joystick worked on your VIC-20, C-64 or Amiga then it will work on the Minimig.  I like the fact that you can use a PS2 mouse and thus leave 2 joysticks connected to the ports without having to fanny around swapping them (A real Amiga Mouse will work in place of the PS2 mouse... but why bother?).

I've posted pics of my Minimig here before.  Currently it is connected to a 42" Panasonic plasma TV (which is fricking awsome for playing Elite!).  I built the board into a PS2 PC Keyboard and  moving it simply means taking the 2 joysticks, the mouse and the PSU, wrapping them around the keyboard and carrying them to the new location.  A hell of a lot easier than lugging my old A2000 around back in the 80s.  :-D
