Speaking about the FPGAArcade Replay board ...
While this is true - the first 50 of the production batch I had to hand solder all the connectors (and it takes ages), I'm past that now. The next batch of 100 game fully assembled, but had some component issues which needed to be replaced.
Now the test rigs and software are set up they can test at the factory, so the next 200 will arrive ready to ship. Well, that's the theory at least..

Nice to know Mike.
Personally, emulating the chipset along with the processor makes more sense to me.
After all, with just a processor replacement were stuck retrofitting old hardware and can't improve on chipset performance.

Although the soldering demo on the Vampire site is pretty neat.
I may have to try that technique.

Yes, very cool.
And if you don't have the equipment for BGAs, its useful.
Thanks.

there is no natami team as such for what i know. apollo is a softcore by former natami contributors, gunnar in particular. i dont know who else.


Well, you've just managed to discourage me with that statement.
Gunnar definitely wasn't my favorite member of that team.
Too many tirades.
