MiniMig the no bull thoughts on this device

[CritAnime]

Pretty much as the title says. If I was to buy one purely for gaming from ADF's do I need the ARM chip and do I need the 4mb version? What are people who own this device honest opinions? I have given up on classic hardware because I don't have the time nor money. So I just want something I can plug into my big TV, via VGA, or run on my spare vga monitor.

Hmm sounds kinda more like what I ultimately want. Does the arm processor give any extras apart from the ones mentioned.

[CritAnime]

I would hope so. I used a Indi ECS with the monitor I intend to use for the minimig and had no issues showing either 50hz or 60hz.

Ok another question. I have seen the v2 Minimig on another site. I take it this is a prototype.

Oh... just looked at the specs for my monitor and it says v-sync is 56-75Hz

Was it a blue coloured board?  If it is the one I'm thinking of then it is basically the same as the v1.1 except it has headers for the ports (makes them easy to extend internally) and a extra video out option.  It can use the same cores and ARM as the v1.1.

I think it had a very limited production run and finding one in the wild would be like tracking down a Yeti.

I am thinking I won't be able to own one anyway as my monitor probably wont take it :rant: although it played fine with the indi ecs. I don't get it :rant:

The Indivision ECS (and AGA) promotes 50Hz to 60Hz as part of the design.  That's why they're such good flicker fixers to get as you can use them on just about any LCD.  Older Amiga flicker fixers have always had this problem (at least with cheapo USA monitors that forget that there are other standards out there).  

What brand/model monitor do you have?

LG Flatron W2043SE.

Well suppose I am out of the race then bummer.

Awww I feel out of the club with my crappy LG...... This sucks I can't afford a new monitor and the Minimig. Even my LG 50 inch lcd won't support it on VGA. If it was any other input then sure but the VGA is 56Hz - 75Hz.
 
Wait... isn't there a vga cable for the minimig that converst it to scart? If so what kind of quality should I get out of it. would it be cleaner than say a classic miggy.

you can also set the jumper for 15HZ video and you should be good to go.
 
i have not seen the quality, but I'd imagine it will look just like RGB.
 
Also don't forget the LG TV will run NTSC stuff.... just the PAL stuff won't work...
 
good luck...

My LG tv will do 50Hz and 60Hz if it's running a TV signal. I know because I have a ntsc SNES I use on it. But for some reason the VGA port will only do 56Hz to 75Hz.
