ADOOM on A600 running 22-35 FPS

@danbeaver
"we" are not ot, its currently you who tries to derail the thread.

[wawrzon]

guys, could you quit this nitpicking? the actual subject is much more interesting and constructive, also the isa discussion.

[wawrzon]

i hope no bad blood develops here, just a discussion, because none can actually force the people doing work into something, but they might be convinced if the arguments are right.
meanwhile:

68020 support, i hope its full.

@gunnar
couldnt agree more.

@kipper2k
he is probably already on a list of individuals not to be served, as well as on ignore list where possible.

[wawrzon]

i trust gunnar and the project members will consider options in due time. so far i very much agree with the roadmap. its too early to speak of asic. the project must gain some testing, popularity and must progress further. then it may become computable what audience it may achieve and what it may offer and then a campaign would make sense. i admire the realism not to do it now.

[wawrzon]

If we could get out of a $15 FPGA 1200 MHz 68020 Speed - then I do not think that an ASIC is really needed for World domination ...

especially an asic once done would age quickly. there would be a window where you can do something with it but it might be narrow. fpga core as i understand it is to an extent reusable in newer generation fpgas.

@olaf
thats a false flag op.

[wawrzon]

Not sure I understand the question.
If we would not put SAGA into the FPGA how could we run Amiga OS?

i think the only sensible might be is licensing the core to other fpga hardware providers for the time being. as example, if not for vampire the core woulnt probably be available to testers-users till now. doing everything by yourself will drain your capabilities quickly. this way also the support for other systems could be hierarchically outsourced to interested parties.

[wawrzon]

I have no secretary which could answer all these customer questions.

one day you might need one anyway;)
but sure you know best yourself.

[wawrzon]

sorry, but this cant be real time, none is able to use computer at this speed.

[wawrzon]

.

Just curious - why is the Vampire only available for the A600 (and A500?)?

Cheers,

Mike.

because one needs to start somewhere?

[wawrzon]

At the time the A600 user didn't have a lot of options whereas the A1200/3000/4000 users had quite a few cards to choose from.

Now the Vampire approach has been validated (high performance with low cost) then it makes sense to roll the same basic design out to all Amiga's.

they didnt even have released cards for a500/a2k yet, give them (and people around them) time. i am very willing to wait before the design will be ironed out to get to the next level. and if the core becomes available for third party projects a whole movement might break loose.

[wawrzon]

given 020 compatibility i think it should work in the meantime?
