FPGA Replay Board

[Everblue]

I'm going to start an FAQ on my forums ...

Think of the hardware as being very close to the original. So for original modes use DVI to analog scart / monitor. This will work fine. It may work with a DVI to HDMI cable (separate audio). Some systems do, some don't. I am working on an on-the-fly HDMI adapter which will legalize the line length with adding only one line delay (so no tearing).

For high res you have the choice of DVI/HDMI or Analog.

1. Yes a FAQ will defenitely help

2. DVI + Audio -> analog scart - do you have pinouts for these? Maybe you can include it in the FAQ?

3. When you say some sytems work, other don't I assume it depends on the TV set?

4. So if I use a DVI to HDMI from Ebay i will get screen tearing (like no Vsync effect?)

5. In the past I have used a Minimig 1.1 @ 50hz via VGA with my Benq LCD monitor (50hz capable) - it worked without any problems. Don't know if that means anything, thought I'd mention that

Just what the doctor ordered, but it seems we need a special cable to use with the FPGA so we get a perfect picture.

You shouldn't, what he means is that he's doing a convertor and so that the convertor doesn't add tearing he's doing it a line at a time.
 
He means some TV's will work, some won't. For OCS the timing is always the same, so if one game works they all should. If you're using ECS/AGA then you can change the timing, but I don't know if any games actually do.

Sorry for my stupidity, what convertor is he doing?

"All" I want to do is to able to play ECS and AGA games using a DVI->HDMI cable at 50hz without any scrolling or tearing issues.

Is that possible?

Can one say FPGA Replay is not a WinUAE in a hardware and that everything in it is actually custom chipset?

I don't think it is either of those two.

[Everblue]

I have to admit patience is running thin here.

[Everblue]

Are there any good recent videos of the minimig core running on the FPGA Arcade? Can't find much on Youtube, and certainly nothing recent.

Also, how well is the core running now?

Those infamous two more weeks =D
