Minimig with Hard Disk Support - Preview

This is a preview of hard disk support for the Minimig. This feature requires an ARM controller board which replaces the PIC. The video was captured from S-Video adapter based on the AD724 encoder. The memory was expanded by piggybacking extra RAM chips.

Just one question : did whdload preload the entier superfrog game ? I guess it did preload the first 2 disks ? (if you have 3.5 MB available)

Apart from that : very impressive :)

No preload option was used.

You are right. I have checked the config and the preload option was used by default. With 3.5 MB of RAM it doesn't interrupt, at least not until you begin your game play.

Very nice indeed! I want one, but I think I'm gonna grab one of Illuwatar's Mini-ITX version boards.

PS. Out of curiosity - what hardware/software combination did you use to capture the output of MiniMig? Because it looks really, really good!

Minimig with S-Video output -> Pinnacle PCTV 310i TV Tuner -> VirtualDub MJPEG/PCM capture -> VirtualDub MPEG4/MP3 two-pass recompression (ffdshow video codecs/LAME MP3)

Any hope for an AGA Minimig with 68060?

Oh... I actually thought the disk accesses with whdload used to interrupt the game / turn on the multitasking / load some disk sectors then reactive the game, when the preload option was not used ?

or Clone-A :D
