ARM or x86 with FPGA emulator

An ARM CPU card for the FPGA Arcade would make an interesting addition to it. It would give you a lot of options. You could configure the system to work as a 68k AGA+ machine with the ARM emulating the 680x0 (assuming it would outperform a softcore) or the ARM could be used as a coprocessor to offload jobs like video, audio, jpeg decoding and provide networking and USB features or you could configure it to work as an AROS on ARM NG Amiga.

If Hyperion had any interest in porting OS4 to anything else they'd have done it by now.

Because MorphOS has also remained shackled to PPC it's not something I've paid much attention to so I don't know how open they would be to porting to another architecture.

Sounds like the Phoenix core is looking good. Shame if the Replay FPGA is too small to include it, I assume that's the case with the rest of the current "Amiga" FPGA boards (MCC216, MiST, Chameleon). What about the Acube Minimig+ is that big enough, I assume the Phoenix core could outperform the Dragonball on it. To get back on topic what we need is an "Amiga" FPGA board with a Cyclone 5 SoC FPGA. Has anybody ported Minimig to one of the dev boards like the SOCkit yet?
