Minimig Laptop initial testing (Portable Amiga console)

UPDATE: http://target-earth.dyndns.org/www/gaming/minimig.shtml

Minimig laptop is now complete - see above link for image of completed system

==================

Here's what will eventually become my Amiga 'laptop' - it's using a Minimig v1.1 fpga board that runs from 5v and a PSOne LCD screen that runs from 7.5v - but also uses 5v internally, so it can power the Minimig itself - once complete it will be powered by a pair of 7.4v Lithium Polymer cells. Here the setup is running from a 7.5v DC adaptor and I've got the Minimig set to output 15kHz RGB instead of it's normal 31kHz VGA signal. The case that the screen and pcb are sitting in will form the basis of the 'laptop' and is actually an aluminium PSP carry case. The pcb and lithium cells will be mounted in the base and a mini keyboard and touch pad mounted above so that it is completely self-contained.

You are completely fucking stupid. He's used a Minimig board, not an original amiga, and it's not even fucking finished in this video. All he's done is show his work in progress. Last I heard from him was that it was almost a finished laptop.

Do you walk into a car factory, and yell "this is shit! you don't know how to build cars! you haven't even put the doors on yet!" No, you don't. Because that would make you an annoying and worthless cunt.

@freakshowboy9 Lots of pig latin, I know. I've never had the time to write the process up properly. At least you can actually what the finish thing looks like now, rather than this video which shows all of its' guts hanging out :-) I'll do another video at some point!

This looks great !, I always wanted a Amiga on the go in a from of a DS/GBA but of course thats impossible...

Say does minimig stands for mini amiga ?

Looking forward toseeing it finished, I've almost finished making my AMIGA mini Arcade Cabinate, which has taken way longer than I thought it would.
