Quite some time has passed from the last minimig release, so I thought I’d write a short update on what’s going on. The work on minimig-mist aga v1.2 is progressing, albeit slowly, since I don’t have much free time right now. Here are some of the fixes already implemented and in testing: video dithering (both random and spatial) have been fixed – the dithering didn’t work at all before scanlines can now be enabled in…
There is a new release of minimig-AGA for the MiST board available, grab your fresh copy on the minimig-mist page! Here are the updates made in this release: 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…
There is a new release of minimig-AGA for the MiST board available, grab your fresh copy on the minimig-mist page! It certainly took a while, but I think I can safely say that the AGA chipset is implemented correctly and in full now, but of course with lots of corner cases not handled properly. There are still quite some problems on the CPU side though, those will hopefully be fixed in time. There are some…

The project started as a sort of proof-of-concept, showing that it is possible to re-create Amiga custom chipset in an FPGA. In around three years, Dennis made a fairly complete implementation of the OCS chipset. Amiga community – with history of disappointments behind it –…
