E296: Do you ever wish you had a system that could use amiga peripherals, like a pistorm, a vampire, a TF card or more but was brand new. was not a repop board or a pi? well hang onto your girdle. I present TWO new devices you can get RIGHT NOW. the Minimig 1.1 and flagship 1.8 with real Motorola CPUs!!! I had this one pimped out with a cpu in the socket (optional?) and i added my own pistorm later
get yours now while supplies last. Dont miss out!!!

upgradable cores from the above website as they are developed. this thing is getting better and better all the time.

Looking at the size of these things, it looks like it's begging for an Amiga laptop project (at least for the 1.1 version). The 1.8 with the PiStorm seems like the ultimate upgraded Amiga for those of us who made the mistake of letting our vintage hardware go back in the day.

Great video. My Minimig v1.2 has the PIC ARM replacement board and the piggy-backed extra RAM soldered to the existing chips (perfect for running WHDLoad of a large HDF image). The 1.8 seems to incorporate these as standard, but that CPU replacement board just blows me away. I still think it is a shame that nothing became of the FPGA Arcade as that allowed AGA on a slightly larger board (I have mine in a X500 case). The beauty of the early Minimig is that the board is so small you can put it inside a PC keyboard and make a very light and portable OCS/ECS machine.

thanks for video, just got myself a couple of Mist 1.5 and quite bowled over how authenticate to my Amiga days using the crt this experience was. Regards to actual zero latency from controls I mean but also just the fact this is a native experience makes all the difference to me. I do already have two A1200's but never use them because I find them a hassle and they tend to look crap on Lcd but the Mist I found very appealing and it really is tremendous especially when using a pc crt monitor. Where can I get one of those keyboards where it needs you to smash the keys before they register?

Dannit, this would have been a better solution than doing the ReAmiga for my A2000 and would have been cheaper also, and also give me a working machine. Currently havn't finished that ReAmiga due to the chip shortages. This was the main reason I ordered the A500 mini, and wanted something that looked like the Amiga even though it's alot smaller. Yes I could have used a raspbery pi, and I have but nothing beats a real Amiga, if thats not possible atleast something that looks like one. As usual great video Chris.

Great video! I have always loved Amiga hardware, and owned a few, although I only have my A500 tower project right now. I have used emulation and stuff so much over the last 20 something years though, starting with the very first Amiga Forever - the one that had OS3.0. Anyway, my current setup includes Amiga Forever 2006, but I really love Icaros and Amilator as well. I have a couple old PCs and a laptop with the Intel GMA 950 chipset that run both of those perfectly. If you can't afford these cool products get Amiga Forever Essentials on Android (or iOS?) for a couple bucks and you can try those.

This seems like they should make one without the level shifters and build in everything to plug in a Pi3, or PiZero2w upside down. Did anyone else notice the level shifters that get up to 5 volts only for the PiStorm to level shift them right back down. Also, I am guessing that FPGA they could fit whatever logic the CPLD from the PiStorm is doing. The other thing I don't understand is why the memory isn't in a single chip. Aren't lower density chips harder to source?

Hi Chris, great video! I got my hands on a MiniMig 1.8 and it works great. I've also installed PiStorms in my 2 500's (internally and externally) with success. However, I can't seem to get either a full PiStorm or, preferably, the EMU68, to come up on the MiniMig. The HDMI out on the Pi gives me the Emu68 screen, but the MiniMig is behaving as if there is no CPU. I'm using the MiniMig1-42MHz core and Kick32 ROM. No Floppys or HDs configured yet. Any tips or references you can point me to? Thanks!

Do not define any kick start in the EMU68. It needs to load off the PIC chip of the minimig.
@sacramentoamigacomputerclub
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Thanks for the quick advice. I really appreciate it. I thought of kickstarts earlier since having 2 kickstarts defined seemed problematic. But when I remove the kickstart file and config line from the EMU68 I go from an output of a green screen to a blank screen! Is there any specific core requirement on the MiniMig I'm missing? The same SD card does come up with the MC68SEC000 installed. I also tried removing the boot delay on the EMU68, thinking there may be a timing issue. EDIT: I noticed I was running an older release of EMU68. I downloaded the 2/23 version. Hasn't helped. . . I am running the PiStorm release as well.

Also noticing in the EMU68 folder I'm seeing a lot of different Pi models listed in the ".dtb" files, but not the 3A+. Maybe that's my problem? I just used my last pi zero 2!!

for me personally i would always choose the minimig, the Mister DOES offer other cores and works great, however its not fast if your looking for a super fpga amiga , the Minimig can even run the PiMiga images when configured for the minimig.

Not sure why they went for 4 mb only; wouldn't be better to add more memory at that point? Even to just run WHDLoad you need 3 MB on average I think. 8 MB would be sweet, but 4 is better than 2 :D So what is the advantage of this board versus a Pi? Beside being FPGA, is there any advantage of spend more for this board compared to the good old Pi4?
@ChrisEdwardsRestoration
@ChrisEdwardsRestoration 2 года назад
i think that was the original limit, now that the rock star programmer Renee is on board the fpga code can be adapted, and upgraded. 8mb chip would be nice like winuae/pimiga does, it is nice to see something with a 68k socket... i dont know if any one is better than the other, its just nice to see and support new Amiga stuff. and i have an obsession so.....
@fcf8269
@fcf8269 2 года назад
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Would love to see a socket-based 68K but sadly the only thing you can find around is the small SMD package type at best. Running it with the pistorm is really impressive; it is expensive but it is in the price range of the Vampire, or even cheaper; and this one look much better than the Vampire, even if it does not have all those bells and whistle (which are a waste anyway on an Amiga; but to each their own) Do you know if they have plans to make an expansion board for a real Amiga? or will it be a standalone as the previous versions?

Yup $380 USD... Amiga RETRO tax in full effect as of Sept 2022. Everything is expensive now days. PISTORM? PiStorms are at least price controlled but RPi 3's are unobtanium unless you want to pay. A setup as shown in the video can hit about $600 or so by the time you're all done. Thankfully I got Rpi's before the price increases.

With the price of MiSTer rising, and the basic instability and constant state of development of the V4 Stand Alone - this certainly has a strong appeal. Also, did you say it is running a genuine Motorola 68k cpu? You kind of rapid-fired the introduction and I didn't quite follow that. Of course, all the chip shortages that are affecting everything else will certainly have an impact on this. I tell people all the time, though - unless you have a particular nostalgia for the REAL hardware - an FPGA solution is the way to go - and if your sweet spot is the Amiga - this isn't a bad way to go at $150CA. I mean - lots of people are going to shell out about $130 for the Amiga 500 Mini - and this sounds like a far more authentic, cycle accurate, FPGA Amiga experience than the SoC running Colanto emulation on the Mini is going to deliver. But, I'm buying one of those too - because the more of these projects we support, the more we're going to see people making products for our market.
