FPGA: Minimig-AGA-Core 1.1 for MiST-board
For the Atari-/Amiga-clone MiST (amiga-news.de reported), the FPGA-reimplementation of the Amiga with AGA-support is available in version 1.1.
This release mainly fixes bugs. The developers ask you to mind the readme-file - e.g. the AROS-ROM currently does not work together with the Minimig-IDE-implementation.
Changes:
- Fixed mouse issues (fixes games Like Ishar 1, 2, 3, Robinson's Requiem, and many cracktros)
- Fixed keyboard issues (fixes game Walker and probably many others)
- Changes to FPGA clock handling, hopefully this will make a more stable minimig core
- Entering the OSD menu using UP+DOWN buttons on a DB-9 connected joystick has been disabled
- 1 MB kickstart ROM support added (enables you to run AROS ROM or your custom kickstart ROM)
- Firmware now again supports using 256 kB Kickstart ROMs
- Firmware now again supports using Cloanto AmigaForever encrypted Kickstart ROMs
