There is Minimig, MiST, and FPGA Arcade...


Thanks Kollla.
The FPGAArcade website needs a big update, but the forum is very active.

Just booted a copy protected Shadow of the Beast from a disk flux image ;)
Tidying up and bug fixing the last few graphics issues, then we are good to go.
Boards are shipping mainly to developers, I have over 100 in stock waiting testing and a production run about to start.

I know we have seen a small run of the FPGA Arcade. I contacted OneCircuit

Who had been one of the guys who did an unboxing. I asked him about the Amiga side and last time. He says he wasn't able to get the Amiga part working. This maybe user error I don't know.
But like most of you I sit in anticipation waiting. Like some of you maybe I'll be dead by then also. The video of the FPGA Arcade with Daughter board looks amazing.

I WANT ONE !!!! NOW !!!!

We'll that's my two cents. I'll just keep dreaming for the moment :-)


It's very real. It has taken a long time to get the Amiga code into shape and integrated with the Replay framework. As much code as possible is generic and shared between all the cores (DRAM, OSD, IO etc).

Few glitches to sort out still, but focus will move back to the daughterboard and upgrading the soft 68K core as well. I've started to run regression tests of my soft CPU against the real one. This will be open sourced as well - although to be fair the T68 is pretty compatible and runs fast with prefetch/caching.
