FPGA Replay Board

[Kokos]

As far as I heard (I'm total electronics dummy) assembling with BGA tech in home-environment is pretty hard to accomplish it well..

Yikes! I was also put in preorder queue in October.. 2012.. :-) I guess it will be longer waiting, but hopefully worth it. :-)

[Kokos]

There will be enough for everybody very soon.

Good news, thank you! :-)

[Kokos]

That's right! You should be grateful that nobody said 'in two weeks'! ;-]

[Kokos]

@Kokos: Oh boy....

LOL, I didn't notice that. :-) We're screwed.. ;]

[Kokos]

I bet it won't be ready to send this year. ;]

mikej,

Thank you very much for this update, it's great news!

I'm just wondering how many units you have on the preorder list, you mentioned earlier that you're able to assemble 100 units and I just wanted to estimate how much time it can take to ship the hardware to the people in the end of the queue. Thanks for the info -- if possible of course. Good luck with things!

MikeJ, what's the meaning of life?     :rolleyes:

Also, what can change the nature of a man?

I thought there is a possibility to connect 2 joysticks to one port..

Hi,

Two silly questions/OT..

Is it possible or will it be possible to run Atari ST(E)/falcon core on FPGAA?

What platforms to implement will be available when the FPGAA will be finally released and ready to buy?

//BTW - we're just after great Pixel Heaven party in Poland. You can take a look at some hardware porn from PH.13 here.

Thanks!

Hey, I saw a Franko 2 poster ! What's with that ?

There will be a crowd-funding campaign for IOS/Android game - Franko 2. That's all I can say about this. There is also a teaser - http://youtu.be/RLtnc2PAGEs

I've started to ship

This is really good news! Thanks for that info, Mike!

So, I've just started looking around for proper case for the FPGAA. I've found two good looking types:
- http://www.loriano.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/customised_minimig_case.htm
- http://www.minimig.net/viewtopic.php?p=3180#p3180

Guys, do you think FPGAA will fit without any problem (I also hope that any FPGAA's slots or sockets won't be covered by the case), or maybe I should wait for some new cases when FPGAA will be released?

Thanks.

@Kokos
I think MikeJ has made it to fit a half-mini-itx case

Thanks, but well.. it's still not so clear to me what specific standard is recommended. Mike tell in his news entry on the website that it 'fits in standard itx/atx case'. I prefer ITX, and I guess the smaller case the better for me - I do not plan to use dautherboard, so I'm wondering if the Nano-ITX format is the best solution for me (or it's rather too small for this board?).

Also it'd be great to buy the case with amiga/fpgaarcade signature, I hope there will be available some, before I buy any other case.

I'm on my way to the music festival

Hi Mike! How was the gig? :>

[Kokos]

One additional question..

Do you think it's possible that iControlPad 2 will work with USB variant of FPGAA?

If yes, do you think I'll be able to map any controller button I want? Example - let say I'm using FPGAA, running some ADF file, I use iCP2 as joystick, and I want to skip the intro where mouse or keyboard is originally required - can I use also iCP2 for this?

Thanks & cheers!
