`07.Sep.2022` Thomas Wenzel (ANF)	MPEG audio: MHI developer archive 1.2 As Thomas Wenzel wrote, MHI was developed by him and Paul Qureshi, with the help of Dirk Conrad, because current systems (mpega.library and the mpeg.device) do not offer the features modern applications such as AmigaAMP require. For the first time the first beta version of AmigaAMP v2.9 fully supported version 1.0 of MHI (amiga-news.de reported). The new version 1.2 contains: Enhancements to the specification to tell the application to support other formats beyond MPEG audio officially support extended sound control (5- or 10-band equalizer) a bug-fixed MAS player driver which now no longer overwrites the contents of some registers, especially A6, for certain functions. This bug was discovered by Szilárd Biró, who ports games to 68k and plays the music via MHI. (dr) [News message: 07. Sep. 2022, 07:08] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

The MiST revision 1.5 will be produced if there are enough orders. In the revision 1.5 many technical changes were made to simplify the automatic assembly (PCB redesigned, power supply reworked) and the MiST now is equipped with 64MB DRAM. "MiST" (GitHub page), originally developed by Till Harbaum, is an FPGA motherboard that is supposed to emulate different home computers or arcade machines by means of different "cores". Originally intended as a pure Atari ST clone and therefore - analogous to Minimig - named "MiniST", a Minimig core initially ran on the hardware. Since then the project is called "MiST" (aMIga/ST) (amiga-news.de reported). Supported Systems: ST/STE (also on SCART 15KHz) Amiga 500/600/1200 (AGA CORE BETA core) C64 (partially - still in development) Atari 8bit (96%) Collecovision ZX81 Atari 2600 ZX Spectrum with AY, also with DIVMMC and ESXDOS SEGA GENESIS Apple MSX AMSTRAD CPC (BETA) Hardware to be provided by the customer: USB keyboard micro USB phone charger for power supply SD card (1GB recommended) VGA monitor USB mouse PC speaker (dr) [News message: 07.
