I'm not too good at this but an acronym usually works well when cleverly made into a real word that is also relevant.

General Arcade Machine Emulator (G.A.M.E.)

How about Custom Loadable Arcade/Amiga/Atari/Anything Platform (C.L.A.P)?

You could ahve slogans like:

Have you got The CLAP?  Fancy getting The CLAP?  Get The CLAP and play with your friends!  Give a loved one The CLAP for Christmas!

Can anybody think of some more?  ;-)  :-D

Oh dear... Things have started to go downhill!

[tonyyeb]

I would have thought so.

My answer was based on the extra diversity of the FPGA-ARCADE which will mean more demand, more support and a lack of both for Minimig.

I'm sure given the choice of running a device that had Amiga OCS soley as a platform and running one that offered Amiga OCS (potentially ECS and AGA) plus 10-20 more others.... with potential for even more in the future... more people would choose FPGA-ARCADE over Minimig.

Yes but tonyyeb, there is nothing stopping Minimig supporting more systems. This is a feature people were discussing before the Minimig was even released IIRC. The basis behind your convictions seems to be down to the more generic name of the FPGAARCADE, nothing more.

But isn't the Minimig limited to devices that ran a 68000?

@mikej

Remind me Mike, how much are these boards going to be (assembled)? And will we be ordering from you or a supplier?

[tonyyeb]

AGA not supported yet but I would think it is only a matter of time, especially as WinUAE has good AGA support already.

@ AJC

Lol! A moment of self realisation has just hit me!

[tonyyeb]

@Mike

Any news on a release date and final price?

[tonyyeb]

Great news. I look forward to an update!

Got a rough idea of price yet Mike? Worse case scenario?
