Hi , I new here (first post) so hi to everyone.
I am considering developing a small compact and cheap portable amiga.
I Design PCBs for a living.
Imagine minimig crossed with a PSP.
Specs
------
32MB SDRAM
1.6M gate Spartan 3E FPGA
4.3" Touchscreen LCD
Joystick
Joypad
buttons (start, menu, reset)
ARM 7 MPU with support for FAT 16/32 using a fast 8 bit bus between the fpga and arm, USB mass storage for SDCARD.
Dataflash for storing the roms.
PSP/iphone Battery
TV out
Headphone/speakers
Volume control
Li-po Charger
The 68000 CPU will be integrated into the fpga.
It will also be able to run other IP cores as well, like pacman,defender, vic20, atari st etc...
I am quite happy to design the hardware and draw the PCB, but need some help with porting the HDL over, can you help..
Is anyone interested in such a device or is it just another waste of time???
Great!..
Go ahead!..
I am possible constumer!. and defenitly the price might be the right.
i think too more power than 68000, a Wifi are needed, and other things like USB Conector.. you know the Portable Amiga will have contemporary or seeing to the future hardware.
Anyway, are cool idea and project, i hope you can materialize this project.
I be happy for giving any opinion about from my humble position!
Best Regards!
