Classic Amiga patents...
« on: September 06, 2004, 12:58:37 PM »
I was wondering who the hell is the owner of Classic Amiga hardware IP. Is it Gateway still?

Sorry guys, still dreaming of a C=1-like classic Amiga mobo...

If you want a C=1 like Classic amiga there is nothing stopping, there never has been. You would not need to use the original patents to program up a couple of FPGA's to mimic the functions of the Amiga chipset. Though to do so would be pointless, complex and expensive... Running UAE on a cheap PC would be far more senible :-)


It seems that is not possible to replicate an Amiga on FPGA. Someone else tried without success...

What I mean is a super low-cost Amiga compatible: with today's technology you can have an "Amiga On A Chip"! Do you remember the SAM Coupe'? Same thing, but with Amiga compatibility instead of Spectrum! :)
UAE is not the way, sorry. Not only it lacks the feeling ;), but even REAL compatibility. Anyway until WinUAE 2.0 ;)
And you cannot have a *decent* PC to run a *decent* UAE on it for few bucks...

This thought came in mind because my Amiga is getting older and I don't wanna buy another expensive PC/Mac/whatever just to run an emulator on it.

All I ask for is a demo-machine and WHDload.
Simply.  :-D

Before you say any more, get yourself a £250 HP iPAQ and run UAE on it... flighing across the atlantic with over a hundred Amiga games in my hand was a joy! The 8 hours went in a flash.


So I guess PocketUAE is stable and cool enough? I should try a Dell Axim... ;)

Mik Tinker... ;)
...but I guess Xilinx FPGAs are far better now...
