Non-Amiga Minimig cores ready to use
Hello there!
I've searching all over Amiga forums & google, but I couldn't find a proper answer: -Are there any FULLY FUNCTIONAL cores for the Miniming to become other computers? (ZX Spectrum, MSX, Atari ST...). Can they read disk images from SD? It seems to be the hard part when porting... -It seems there's a C64 core in the works, wich hasn't be released because of legal problems (C64 ROMS have been distributed with C64 emulators from the dawn of time, damnit...); how ready is it? has anybody tried it? -WHERE are they available?? Just imagine...A mini-machine to rule them all!! Thanks! PD: Don't send me to minimig.net, I already know that forum, thanks. |

Not that I've come across.
I've done lots of partial ports (i.e. no SD card access) but never been able to make the time to go to the next stage. |

@alexh: do you know if that C64 core is really going anywere? Is the Minimig FPGA really up to it? I mean, the CPU, VIC and the SID chip must be implemented in a limited FPGA as I understand. Minimig has a 8K compatible phisical CPU, but for non-68k systems it may not be enough. Last edited by gaula92; 06-09-2009 at 01:47 PM.. |

@Alexh
Are you thinking that you will do the disk access? If so, are you thinking you would write it for the PIC or the ARM? |

we are working on this kind of multi-core design, check this out: http://www.arcaderetrogaming.com/2.html The Minimig HW is a nice design but the FPGA is too limited, we wanted something more versatile and cheaper. We have a C64 design that runs on it with a full 1541 implementation and stereo SIDs (with filter !). Regards, Frederic Last edited by FrenchShark; 06-13-2009 at 10:29 PM.. |
