Dan Sanderson reports that the first Amiga core has been developed for the Mega65 computer. This is what he said:
The MEGA65 gets its first Amiga core!
sy2002, of the C64 core project, has launched an FPGA core that recreates an Amiga 500. This early version is feature complete, and supports the OCS chipset and PAL video output, with 512 KB of Chip RAM and 512 KB Slow RAM. Connect an Amiga mouse (or mouSTer or Tank Mouse) to port 1, and a joystick to port 2. Disk support is currently limited to 880 KB ADF disk images on the SD card, in a single df0: virtual drive. It loads Kickstart and Workbench from disk images, and can run demos and games. Yes, including Lemmings.
You will need to acquire files for Kickstart 1.3 revision 34.5, Workbench 1.3 ADFs, and any other ADF disks you might want to run. Put the Kickstart ROM on the SD card as: /amiga/kick.rom
The author has clarified that this was largely an AI-assisted port of MiniMig that he won’t have time to maintain. This version will likely inform an active sibling project that will carry it forward. Head to the announcement post to download it, and don’t miss the project’s documentation website. I know lots of people who have been waiting for this milestone for the MEGA65 project, and I can’t wait to see what develops.
