Nusim Limited started to manufacture and ship bare Minimig PCBs. With some SMD soldering skills now nearly anybody can make a Minimig at home.
The Minimig (Mini Amiga) is an open source re-implementation of an Amiga 500 using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The project was started in 2005 by a Dutch electrical engineer Dennis van Weeren. The Minimig motherboard has an MMC slot for flash memory cards and can run ADF games, demos, apps directly from it.
We hope that soon the public will also get fully assembled Minimigs too.
A new version of the Amiga emulator WinUAE for Windows has been released.
WinUAE 1.4.4 (22.09.2007)
===================
New features:
- major directory filesystem emulation update:
* removable drive automounting on the fly (USB memory, USB HD, memory
cards, any removable drive that mounts as a drive letter in Windows)
* drag'n'drop directory/archive automount
* more missing filesystem packets supported (including ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL)
- major "Add Harddrive" uaehf.device update:
* removable drives (real harddrives, x-in-one memory card readers, zip drives,
etc..) supported on the fly
* configured drive but no media or [USB] drive not connected when emulation
was started: automounted when inserted (no RDB automount yet)
* empty drives listed in "Add Harddrive" dialog.
- X-Power Professional v1.3 and Nordic Power v1.5 support
- Pro-Wizard module ripper updated to v1.62
- hq2x filter added.
- Added two basic A4000 quickstart configurations.
- More accurate CD32/CDTV end of audio track detection.
- Current configuration name added to window title.
Bugs fixed:
- Windows 2000: "Add Harddrive" was always disabled.
- "Add Harddrive" HD controller selection was missing.
- Better compatibility with OS 3.1 and older HDToolbox versions.
- CD32 statefile support works again.
- Paths handling updates (yet again..)
- Disappearing mouse pointer in fullscreen modes when GUI was active.
- bsdsocket emulation crashing or freezing when emulation was reset.
- directory filesystem file/directory deletion failing and Windows
recycle bin support enabled returned wrong error codes.
New drivers for the Catweasel controller have been released.
The most important change of the recent release of the Win32 drivers
for the Catweasel are visible in the imagetool, which now supports many
new disk formats and has new graphical functions. After a long wait,
the Apple floppy formats of older Macintosh computers (400KByte and
800KByte per disk) and the Apple IIe series are now supported. Two more
formats of Commodore classics can now be read, but this requires
special disk drives with 100tpi. Regular floppy drives have a track
spacing of 96tpi, so there will be read errors on most of the tracks of
Commodore 8050 or SFD1001 disks.
As always, the new drivers are free, and they still contain
the routines required for operation with the oldest Catweasel models.
We're asking our customers who are still using these controllers to
carefully test these drivers with the old hardware, as we are only
testing with the latest PCI models of the controller.
WinUAE 1.4.3 has been released some time
ago, sorry for not being as fast as usual, I simply forgot to post it
here, it was only posted in the forum.
WinUAE 1.4.3 (29.07.2007)
New features:
- Built-in lha/lzh and lzx support.
- Mount archives as a harddrive with transparent, recursive
(archives inside archive) decompression. Supported: zip, 7zip,
rar (unrar.dll or archiveaccess.dll required), lha/lzh, lzx.
- A3000 Kickstart ROM and SuperKickstart disk support.
- A590/A2091 SCSI, A3000 SCSI and CDTV SCSI expansion harddrive (HDF)
emulation (WD33C93 + (Super)DMAC based SCSI hardware).
- Action Cartridge Super IV Professional freezer cartridge emulation.
- X-Power Professional 500 (v1.2) freezer cartridge emulation.
- Nordic Power (v2.0) freezer cartridge emulation.
- Debugger improvements (improved deep trainer, copper memwatch points,
CPU-model specific registers can be modified, illegal access logger
improved, process breakpoints etc..)
- Paths-panel default paths selection improved.
- Separate native and Picasso96 vsync setting.
- GUI will "autoscroll" if fullscreen mode is smaller than GUI.
- Improved rtg.library, speeds up Picasso96 in high resolution modes
(obsoletes picasso96fix)
Bugs fixed:

- CD32 CD emulation improved (Fightin' Spirit, Base Jumpers etc..)
- Ghostscript printing fixed (again).
- Floppy drive sound selection if fdrawcmd.sys was not installed.
- Video recording sound pitch issue.
- -datapath command line parameter fixed (again..)
- uae-configuration JIT on/off switching fixed.
- Sprite attachment fix, fixes "Great Demo" by "The Tremendous Trio" :)
- Some FPU fixes from Aranym.
- Directory filesystem locked files (most commonly s:startup-sequence)
after software reset
- Filesystem emulation not initializing if JIT was enabled and no other
expansions enabled (fast RAM, Z3 fast, etc..)
In "The Complete History of Lemmings", former DMA-Design developer Mike Dailly describes the history of the classic game, beginning with the only for amusement created 8x8 pixel character, until he reached the completion of the finished game.
A new version of WHDLoad is available for download.
fix: the requester displayed when audio.device is already used
defaults to 'ignore' now, so it works in combination with option NoReq/S
(Horace)
fix: the online help displayed when WHDLoad is called from the CLI
without arguments has been fixed for the options Cache/S and DCache/S
(Hexaae)
fix: CLI args fixed to fault on too many arguments (Psygore)
chg: the install template supports installing from disk images via
diskimage.device, trackwarp.library and capsimage.device
chg: kick31.s supports also the kickstart image from the A500/A600/A2000, with that it is possible to make Slaves using kick31
which are compatible to a 68000 CPU (Don Adan)
new: WHDLoad itself disables the interrupts of Mediator boards now
while running the installed program, this should solve problems
like freezing and gfx/sound distortion on these boards, thanks
to John Girvin and Elbox for providing the solution
chg: WHDLoad now avoids opening the WorkBench screen after exiting,
older versions have always opened the WB if no other screen was left open,
requires at least v39
new: WHDLoad now shows the task name on exceptions if there was a
working amigaos running, it also shows segment name and offset if
SegTracker was running (inside emulation of course)
new: option NoMemReverse/S added to the global configuration (Ralf
Stützer)
new: catalan translation of documentation, thanks to Manel Beltran
new: its now possible to use special rawkeys for the QuitKey/N option
to let WHDLoad quit from a button press on the mouse/joystick/joypad
chg: some changes to the kickemu, check history therein
