Nice.  How is the video output handled?  It isn't just VGA output it it?  Not interested if it is, unless there's a near perfect PAL emulation filter in there.  I gotta have my low-res blindness to get those extra colours. ^_^

But then again, I guess it should be possible to output a chroma/luma signal from the VGA port, selectable with the scanrate jumper perhaps...

Impressive.  I await the day that I'll be able to run edge of disgrace on my Minimig.  (Actually could you test that?  I'm interested how well it could work cause it took me 2 weeks to get my C64 to play it all the way through without crashing or seriously glitching).

But out of curiosity, the game you tested were single load games.  It might be worth testing with some multiload games as well.  The loaders in some games can be quite forgiving while others are rather more strict (Creatures 2 comes to mind, the non cracked version that is)

May be the multiloader will fail as in "Deus ex machina" but a few hours ago I found the right timing setting. Now fpga64 shows a 49Hz 30.8KHz PAL screen!


49Hz sounds a little slow.  I thought the PAL C64 refreshed at 50.12Hz? (I know this because when recording my Panasonic DVD-recorder skips a frame now and again and my Sharp DVD-recorder makes the audio go out of sync with the video).
