FPGA Replay Board

[denli]

One board ordered (presumably from batch 2)

Anyone knows about a SEGA/SNES core for the FPGA Arcade?

Would be neat to just jack one of these Retrode babes in via USB and play straight from the cartridge

[denli]

True

[denli]

Dont forget that any emulators that exist for the Amiga will also run on the Amiga core, so we'll be able to run stuff for the 68k Mac, Speccy, BBC, etc from there until native cores become available.

But with Retrode you can jack in the original game pads too.
No need for keyboard steering (although the controls is presented as an USB keyboard) or building your own interface for the FPGA Arcade. :idea:

You aren't THE Dennis are you?  The one who invented the MiniMig?

Nop.

I really like the new design of your web site, Mike

http://fpgaarcade.com/dev/drupal/

It just need some content, too.

Is this ready for shipping now, Faranheit?

When can the average person, such as myself , get their hands on the board?

A couple of weeks/months/year?
It's a spare time project. But it is however evolving

If I have asked this already then nvm, but:
Has the board been designed for easy and frequent FPGA updates? I'd rather not be a disc-jockey (card-jockey?) if I ever try developing something. Thx.

I think you just need to update the files on the SD-card and of you go at next boot

I consider purchasing a FPGA card for my A1200 but only if the speed is like winuae+JIT enabled (around 2400 mips)
also the card must have 3D GFX card,USB ,WIFI,scandoubler etc
otherwise I pass

The FPGA Arcade isn't an add-on card for the A1200.
It's a motherboard that replaces the Amiga 1200 and can be mounted in an itx/atx case.
