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!)

...from time to time, some thoughts need to get out...Farewell Patrick!
Author: Zeldin - written on 31.12.2014
Axis/Cascade is no more. We are all still shaken by the unexpected death of our friend and group mate Patrick aka Axis/Cascade. We wanted to express our sorrow, so I coded a little intro, which you can find in the C64 demo section of this page. The following text is a rough excerpt taken from the scroller:
Dear Patrick, may this be the condolence from the the group that was co-founded by you long time ago. We want to give you our last salute. I (Zeldin) know how much you were breathing the spirit of the scene. That's why I thought a goodbye demo would have made you happy. You and me exchanged lots of mails about how much we both enjoyed the good ol' days and of course: how much we miss them... It was this tie that emotionally connected us for over 15 years. Thanks for all your help in supporting the group and your indefatigable endeavour in spreading our name. Your tattoos were legendary! Thanks for your work on fb and youtube. Your channels were appreciated by a lot of people. Thanks for being such a good chap. You'll be sorely missed!!!
Mach's gut, Patrick... den Adler im Herzen, sge4ever!
