Installation

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.

OSD Menu

If the Kickstart ROM is recognized you should see the familiar "insert disk" logo. Press F12 to open the OSD menu.

• df0: select first floppy disk (.adf)
• df1: select second floppy disk (.adf)
• +/- : press +/- on numeric keypad to add or remove floppy disk drives
• <Backspace>: removes the disk images from all floppy disk drives
• Floppy disk turbo: enable faster load, only compatible with some Kickstart versions
• Hard disk settings: configure mass storage options

You can move to other pages of settings by pressing the right arrow key:

• Load/Save config: store up to 5 different configurations (and define startup config)
• Chipset settings: configure CPU (68000/68010/68020), turbo mode, video mode (PAL/NTSC), Amiga chipset (OCS/ECS/AGA) and CD32Pad
• Memory settings: configure RAM (Chip, Slow, Fast), ROM file and debug monitor HRTmon
• Video settings: scanline and smoothing options (Lores Filter, Hires Filter, Scanlines, Dither)

Notes

• PAL video mode is 720x576p at 50Hz
• NTSC video mode is 720x480p at 60Hz
• On the AGA core, use Maximum Fast RAM to enable full speed.
