A new Amiga portable console with new custom chipset.

Nice idea, but real products don't come from MS Paint drawings and dreams.

Look at the time that has been put into products like the FPGA Arcade to even get compatibility with AGA in hardware.  This is being done by many people who are effectively doing the dev work for free because they love the platform.

Is there a market for a version of the FPGA Arcade that connects to a LCD and is housed in a PSP-style casing? Maybe, but I think that potential customers of this would just buy an existing handheld console that supports UAE (GP2X, etc, do IIRC).

That IndieGogo project is going to stay at $0·00.

See the dragonbox pyra, its being made for I believe 40,000 euros and that's just the prototype. Mass production will be funded with pre-orders.

And they're just taking off the shelf components and putting them together, with some firmware.

FPGA based designs include the physical aspect, the FPGA implementation, and firmware.

This is just an idea or dream. Most people don't go from idea to kickstarter, there's not even any details of how skilled the team* are at this type of work.  There is no way this should ever be considered news.

* okay, the team of one.
