Minimig with PiStorm 

its renamed and called Amicube as it is a new tech not based on minimig . i will be doing a in depth review soon. Warm up your credit cards.

@@ChrisEdwardsRestorationYes, Chris is correct! however I will postpone AmiCube release until I have new Spartan 7 design ready. I will need to remove MIST design from current AmiCube F1200 completely since I discovered that MIST is not 100% open source. It is more of collaborative effort. Good news is I will have new board ready with the floppy header, DVI over HDMI and few more things. Also I hope we will be able to push the performance further! I will keep everyone posted about the progress.

I really hope there will be a Minimig AGA one day! I'd dream to build the ultimate Amiga with PiStorm & AGA chipset! In a standard Mini-ITX case with a custom Amiga faceplate...

Awesome! Thank you for the comment. R.

New AmiCube will have Spartan 7 with 50.000 LEs so I will be able to fit latest AGA core with RTG! And the there will be more I hope ;)

On Amiga there's a development so that you can feed the RGB signal straight onto rtg

Vampire Team has done this. You should check it out.

I think best way would be to make dedicated FPGA board that can be replacement for the original Arcade system. Including ports and small nuances.

I will take some time to adjust CPU bridge and Gary if needed. Electronically Vampire must be compatible with the Minimig, just need to figure out where the problem is. I suspect timing issues that can be corrected in the Verilog. If you have logic analyzer, Minimig and Vampire there is a chance you will be able to nail this down.

Yeah, pretty much :))

That is a very good point. I stand corrected.

I will put it on the list for testing and record. That game should fly!

Interesting? PiStorm with MOS 6510?

Seconded! I would really love a parallel port on one of these FPGA systems. I really want to do some old school sampling

Unfortunately not with this Minimig. I will check parallel port implementation. At this time I am not sure how difficult this would be?

Yes. Just someone needs to port ST core to Spartan 3 and Minimig Layout. Should be easy.

Initially, I was inclined to say no. However, as you can see, I've already developed this module for the Minimig. While using the floppy as shown in the video isn't very practical, I could potentially create an add-on for joystick and serial port functionality, along with a special core that disables the serial port and joystick. I might also explore options for latching and I/O expansion. In short, it's possible, but it would require significant development on my end. A more convenient approach would be to develop a new board with a modern FPGA chip, which is precisely what I'm working on now. The main issue with the original Minimig is its outdated FPGA.

Yes, and that is easy (replace DIP 64 with PI header). That way we can skip LVL shifting. In fact I am considering PiMig for a long time. :)

This is easy. I will make PiMing shortly but I am warping up Spartan 7 next gen AGA platform first. We want AGA, floppy header and few more things with PiStorm.

@@amicube That sound's excellent! Can you make it boot off of the pi too? Managing 2 sdcards is twice the hassle! Please keep the VGA through the chipset too and offer a place in the case to mount 2xUSB, Ethernet, and HDMI.

Will do! Tx.

Minimig v1.x unfortunately does not have USB dedicated to Amiga. Front USB us only available for ARM MCU programming.

@@amicube I was referring to the adapter you had plugged into the mouse port.

Thank you for the feedback. I will try to improve in the next video.
