Minimig-AGA_MiSTer VS Wiki_MiSTer

Very possibly. It is something I have intended to get to for years now, and I probably will later this year, but having access to genuine hardware, MiSTer, WinUAE, A500 mini etc, current motivation to spend even more money is low. Looking over the MiSTer forums, it seems the motivation to improve the Minimig core is there, but within limits. The philosophy is fundamentally different to the likes of the Vampire guys, which seems to be bleeding edge performance at all costs, including some compatibility. The Minimig core seems to be being developed with much more a focus on the low end and excellent compatibility. 040s and 060s are possible with the FPGA on the DE10, but the motivation just isn't there yet, when refinement of the 020 simulation would benefit more people, and inclusion of MMU and FPU into an 030 core benefit even more. Now the basics are done, progress should be easier, but it still needs people with skills to do the work. We can't build a future on 11 people, no matter how talented they are.

Consider the miSTer as an open source hardware (in FPGA) alternative (minimig FPGA core).

As far as I know the MiSTer can hardware emulate everything Amiga up to and including the 1200. I think Amiga CD32 works, but with some limits. Apart from that everything else is sweet. See all the possibilities here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Minimig-AGA_MiSTer

If none of that helps, you could try filing a bug report on the core's github page, but you'd probably want to try the HDF in something like WinUAE for awhile before blaming the core.

Minimig on the MiSTer project is fantastic these days. Plus the MiSTer does about 300 arcade machines most of the 8bit and 16bit home computers and nearly all the second gen consoles too. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Minimig-AGA_MiSTer

I think it's a bit rich to describe this as the 'future of video game preservation'.

The MiSTer project https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki more rightfully deserves that title. It's got a huge range of systems (across consoles, arcade and micro computers) and it's all GPL licenced. The base board is a Terasic DE10 Nano which is proprietary but all other hardware required is open source.

The MiSTeX project aims to make MiSTer portable across different FPGA platforms https://github.com/MiSTeX-devel so a DE10 Nano won't be mandatory enabling a new ecosystem of open hardware and commercial for profit solutions.

I take no issue with people wanting to make money in this space. I take great issue with trying to gatekeep system preservation behind a mostly closed system you stamp an 'open' moniker on.

Cute, but I don't see the point relative to miSTer.

The MiSTer project[0] is a wonderful introduction to a practical use case for FPGAs. It uses verilog to describe how the DE10-Nano chip should be set up to resemble various classic computers, arcade machines, and video game consoles. With a single device you can have an Apple II+, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and a SNES. Currently it supports up to the PlayStation for console cores, which is probably the upper bounds for the DE10-Nano.

The entire project feels perfectly in line with hacker mentality and is exciting to watch grow. There's nothing like playing Super Metroid with an original SNES controller on a CRT at the end of the day.

I'd advice anyone interested to look at miSTer instead. That is open hardware proper and has a very mature ecosystem of cores, including Amiga.

Consider the miSTer as an open source hardware (in FPGA) alternative (minimig FPGA core).

Have you followed the steps here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki/Samba funily enoough google pointed me here.

Here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki and https://misterfpga.org/ I assume you know about these links?

You can find a lot of old computers and game consoles implemented in FPGA here:
