CoreDocAmiga
This page has operating instructions for the Amiga core, which is a version of Minimig customized for the MiST.
Copy the minimig FPGA core into a root folder of the SD card. To make the MiST start with this core, rename it to core.rbf.
Copy a version of the KickStart ROM into the root folder, renaming it to kick.rom. Kickstart 1.2, 1.3, 2.0 and 3.1 have been tested. Very good compatibility has been reported on firmware 2.0 37.350 for A600.
Disk files (HDF, ADF) can be copied anywhere on the SD card, including subfolders. If you have many files you might want to store them sorted by type (games/apps) and alphabetical folders for finding files easily.
For the BETA AGA core
You can optionally copy files minimig.art, minimig.cop, and minimig.bal to have an animation at boot.
If the Kickstart ROM is recognized you should see the familiar "insert disk" logo. Press F12 to open the OSD menu.
