Excellent. I'm definately thinking of getting one of them for the A4000 as I run it in PAL mode.

Well I have just ordered a minimig from Amigakit so I will report back on which of my Monitors work with it. As both of my Hitachi TFT Panels work with my scan doubler connected to my A1200 tower I am hopeful that they will both work.

As they are both quite old models the information is unlikely to be of any help to people looking to purchase a monitor to go with a minimig maybe of help to anyone with a Hitachi TFT Panel thinking about buying a minimig.


Excellent. Please let us know - the more information we have, the better the Wikis will be.

Well I can now confirm that my 21" Hitachi CML200UXW B TFT Panel works perfectly with the PAL minimig core.

Thanks - I'll update the list.

Please let us know if you test any games that are not on it.

Works OK now. Someone probably entered a typo when updating it (I've done it myself).

@everyone

I have tested Deluxe Paint (version...argh! I don't remember, I think it was 3.x or 4.x) and it works brilliantly!

No the problem was someone had opened the page for editing with a web browser that has problems with over 32kb and just cut the end off the file. I re-added the part from the edit history a few days ago before making the changes I wanted to make myself.

Good save! I'd hate to see that list vanish.

I just bought a serial null modem cable, trying to update the PIC at point number 7 (on your guide in news of disponibility of new core for Minimig) I obtain this error:

Connected to \\. \COM1 at 115200
Searching for PIC...
pic sending Unknown data: "K" 4Dh=M
Check baudrate & Start Write while PIC is not sending serial data (e.g. in reset)
ERROR!

What's wrong?
What can I do?

Is your Minimig from ACube? Is it first or second series, if it has the joystick and serial ports 3mm in then it's a first series and you need to change the PIC, if you have a new PIC then it might not work OR you are not pressing the RESET button within 4 seconds.

Fammi sapere come va, ho lo stesso problema sul mio Minimig

Ciao

@TheDaddy

Yes, it has serial and joy ports 3 mm in, then it would be the first series, and yes, I bought it from ACube.
I never changed the pic before, then it's the original.
I can assure that I press RESET button within 4 second, and the error message is different from that reported by Darrin.
I don't know what to do....

PS: Anche a te dà il mio stesso errore? Il mio Minimig mi è stato spedito da ACube un mesetto e mezzo dopo l'annuncio dell'esaurimento del primo batch (Enrico si era perso il mio ordine) quindi non so dirti con esattezza se faccia parte del primo o del secondo batch, però le porte ce le ha interne come mi hai detto te...

Contact Darrin on his email on amiga.org, he might be able to help, but if you havre never changed the PIC then like me you have the old PIC and it won't flash. ACube even sent me the replacement but that doesn't flash either...I am waiting for a new one, I hope.

Se sono interne e' prima serie.

I'll try to contact ACube also on italian forum.

PS: Scusa, ma Acube cosa ti ha spedito come nuovo flash? Un nuovo PIC? E come fai ad aggiornarlo? Sempre con Tinybootloader?

Yes, you need tinybootloader like Darrin said

@All

I just noticed in the SD card this one here "Sandisk MMC 1 GB Yes Noticeably slower than other cards" I don't mind buying and using this card if I owned Minimig.

Hi, just popping in for a quick visit. Like The Daddy said, it sounds like you've got one of the original PICs without the bootloader. I had the same thing. I bought my Minimig from AmigaKit and aCube sent them new PICs and then AmigaKit sent me the replacement. Fitting it takes 5 Seconds.

If you didn't buy your Minimig direct from aCube then contact the seller too (they may have replacements in stock). Otherwise I'm sure aCube will help you as they seem to stand by their products with some great support.

I know it's frustrating, but hang in there. The new cores are worth it.

I hope Jakub's Hard File expansion board gets released and produced by someone as updating the PIC by just shoving in a USB flash drive will make life a lot easier.

What is the best source of minimig information?

Is it possible to get hard disk images working and boot & use Workbench as on an expanded A500?
