Minimig Discussion Forum

MINIMIG-EMU, it would be fantastic, if you could try, to port the Arcade-Game "MR. DO`S CASTLE" (see picture) to the Minimig, because it`s one of my absolute favourites and really a great game.

But i dont know, if the Minimig-board can run this, because this is lot more complex, than "PAC-MAN" and "ALIEN INVASION (SPACE INVADERS)".

This game has big ROM size, it also need 3 independent Z80 CPU core and 4x the same sound chips.
I dont think this will fit into the 3s400 FPGA. Pacman already overload available Blockram.

I also would love to see/have Arcade Arkanoid etc. on the Minimig, but the limits are set.

Maybe he would be more lucky with 68000-based arcade boards.
Just dreaming about CPS1! Can you imagine the ARCADE version of Ghouls'n Ghots running on the Minimig?

Same problem: Big ROM size.

It really would help if those ROMs could be upload later/before and FPGA just hold the Arcade board logic, as it should be.
But to create such thing as FPGA-mame, it will require a lot of work and dynamic core management!

BOING, when you are an ARKANOID fan, you really should have a look at the C-64 game "TRAZ - Transformable Arcade Zone".

it`s great fun, especially when you play it with 2-player simultan.

would be great if a C-64 game could be ported to the Minimig

Thanks, looks good. I do like breakout games (Amiga: Crystal Hammer, Amegas, Jinks etc.) but never played on real Arcade boxes.

To port a C64 etc. game to Minimig, the whole sytem must be ported as well... so the problem is the same or even more complex.

Thanks for the core

Is there a core selection for the Minimig or something to avoid to rename each time the core we want to use ?

Thanks

You can use this: http://jderogee.tripod.com/

Thank you.

I forgot to tell that I own an ARM controller, is there an update that support multicore ?

looking at this thread : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=416
hex files are no longer required with the ARM controller.

more informations needed. thanks

Currently there is no option in ARM firmware to load alternative FPGA core file.
No doubt, it is possible to do.

(ARM chip need the "firmware.upg" file for update via sd-card)
Release YQ100818 still is the current one.
