Should minimig my family room?
« on: January 21, 2009, 06:57:59 PM »
Hi been thinking....

If I want to collect / play some old OCS games on the LCD / TV in the family room, without a bunch of old gear and fuss, Minimig the way to go?

I have a VGA port on my TV I believe.

Why the hell does the Minimig not have a s-video out? This is supposed to be for retro gaming on your new LCD TV then why this got left off I don't get (not all TVs have a VGA in).

Does it work with old Atari/Commodore controllers or new kinds?

Oh no. I'm in NTSC land. Well, VGA looks to be my best option. Another thing I was never clear about: How do I get stuff to the MM ? Sneaker net with the SD card and a PC?

Thanks.

That helps. Is still sketchy about NTSC though. I would love to support / buy this hardware and effort but think I'm gonna wait some. The board has sold well, yes? I mean, they are on a second production batch now, I think.

One other thing, I was at the site today, reading up. Does it do ECS games, really?

"The original Amiga chipset (OCS and ECS) is re-implemented in FPGA."

Is that new? When I 1st looked at this when it came out, I don't remember it saying that - probably just sloppy me.

Otherwise, you guys like it (who have it)?
