Minimig AGA for the MiST v1.0 : Slam Tilt support !
« on: June 26, 2015, 10:25:49 AM »
After a first beta release at the end of 2014 and 6 more months of collaborative work, Rok Krajnc and the Minimig / MiST / FPGA community release a new version of the Amiga AGA core for the MiST FPGA board labelled "1.0".

One may refer to it as minimig-mist-v1.0.

It contains a huge list of fixes which significantly improve the compatibility :
- fixed AGA color table issues
- fixed erroneous detection of HAM, HAM8 & EHB modes in AGA
- fixed AGA BPLXOR implementation
- implemented AGA bitplane scandoubling
- implemented AGA sprite scandoubling & SSCAN2 SH10 coincidence detection
- implemented proper AGA bitplane scroller with quarter pixel scrolling precision
- fixed AGA BPLCON4 values delay
- playfield CLUT offsets fixed
- ECS sprite attach enabled for both odd and even attach bit
- turbo options for chipRAM & kickstart
- new 8kB two-way, write-through, look-through CPU cache with separate instruction & data caches
- CPU PACK & UNPK instruction fixes by Till Harbaum
- updated very fast CPU by Alastair M. Robinson (in the newcpu build)
- CIA TOD bug fixed
- HRTmon with custom registers mirror
- chipset config applied only on reset
- config display added on boot screen

This list won't necessarily appeal to many of us, non-technical users, but the Slam Tilt compatibility definitely will !

Make sure you read the readme.txt !

Slam Tilt, Breathless... ya it's looking like it's worth the purchase. Anyone know how the MIDI adapter works with the Amiga core if at all?

Scroll down and enjoy!

The compatibility increase is HUGE. The MiST is now turning int a real A1200 replacement with great features (midi ports, hardfiles & floppies support, turbo mode, aga, scanlines, bilinear filtering...).

So the MIDI ports are confirmed to work then? Good!!!

Atari 8-bit support is an added bonus!

Well, I don't know if they are supported at the moment, to be honest :) I assumed they would be supported eventually, as they are built-in. They are supported by the ST core though. Really looking forward to using Music-X, as it was used to create some of my favorite CDs (Montage, Dreamcast... by Dr Awesome aka Bjorn Lynne :)

Where can I buy this FPGA-MiST board? It's very vague...

OK, count me in, I want one now!

I hope Nova is up to porting all his amazing 060 work over to work with this puppy. ;)

I like what I'm reading about the MIST, but the only think I don't like is the "Soviet era, industrial look" of the case they are selling the system in.

I'm waiting what is supposed to be the  imminent delivery of my FPGA Replay, otherwise I'd buy one.
