14.01.2022 - New Firmware (220112) and VIC-20 core (220114) for MIST Board available
The MIST board was designed to implement classic 16 bit computers like the Amiga and Atari ST(E) as System-on-a-Chip using modern hardware. But it equally well supports 8 bit systems like the Atari XL, ZX81, ZX Spectrum, C64, Atari VCS, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Apple II, Sega Master System, NES, Odyssey2 and more. New in Firmware 220112: - Fix some issues regarding to the new menu engine (thanks retrofun to fix Minimig profile loading). - Query the device descriptor only once for USB devices. This might prevent (un)expected mode switch. - Convert [corename].CFG files to INI format. The old file will still load, but Save settings will write in INI. - Add a MISTCFG.INI file for global settings, writeable for the firmware itself. - Add an interactive joystick map configuration to the Input Test OSD page. Read the scrolling helptext for usage. - Send a default date to the cores if no USB-RTC found. New in VIC-20 core 220114: - Mega-Cart support (Mega-Thanks to AMR!)
