FPGA Replay Board

[OlafS3]

I do not believe that "being compatible" is a really big issue. Commercial software is not very propable for both platforms and when will it be developed using the OS and not hitting the hardware (how it happened in the old days because of lack of resources). Ports are often from Linux world and are not hitting the hardware either. Exception perhaps could be demo-programmers. So it is more important that components like CybergaphX or Warp3D are available and identical on both platforms than to have everything on the hardware side identical.

As far as I know owns Jason (the maintainer of Aros 68k) one of the FPGA Boards. So I think the chance that it at least will is pretty good :-)

Jason shows Aros on FPGA on Amiwest...

The problem here lies not in the hardware implementation, but in the mindsets of the people building that ridiculously expensive hardware I think...

It boggles my mind that an awesome hand built all in one solution like this is cheaper in materials and labor than a zorro 3 ethernet card or AGA scandoubler...

if you have a low demand and a even lower supply you get high prices...

many thanks to you for your effort. I think FPGA Arcade is the only bigger 68k retro project that really get "buyable" (in opposite to Natami and many others that were just announced)

[OlafS3]

Excuse my Ignorance but if I own a fpga with the daughter board would it be capable of running OS4 or morphos for that matter. This would not be a deal breaker but would in fact ad value to me wanting one that much more.

No PPC, no MorphOS or AmigaOS (besides that they would want money to port it)

I saw that but aren't they just source codes for developers?

perhaps this:

@mikej

I was just curious if you maybe considered using Apollo core (Vampire
cards of course modified) instead of real 060 daughterboard as an option
as it would make two great project finally make one.

(BTW I didn't say Natami :hammer:).

Great work anyway !

He already answered it... he will use his own core

[OlafS3]

I thought that was for mainboard ?

If mistaken then sorry for double question.

No also for 68k core
