@Mike: Tomorrow is my last chance for flashing with new FW to get 15kHz +DVI output before leaving for Poland for the "Wisla Extravagansa Polish Amiga Hotel Gaming Expo 2012". If there is a remote chance to get a pre-beta test fw/core, I would be super glad.

Desperately seeking 15kHz :-)

@Mike: I am not sure if I can bring a laptop with me as it is currently running my web server for my BBS. I'll send you an email for the receipe for the 15kHz wire-hack as it might be enough in case the TV on-site has issues with 15kHz VGA signals which i guess it'll have. It's worth a try. :-)

@Mike: Thanks for the tip on how to disable the scandoubler to get 15kHz output.

@Mike: Very cool to hear about the progress of the Daughter board. I am waiting eagerly to get my hands on one of them as soon as you start shipping.

Nice to hear about the progress. I am sure everyone will be happy to test the new core once you feel comfortable releasing it for testing.

Put some easter-eggs in there aswell :)

Don't know, can't see the beast under the heatsink - but you may be lucky.
This is the one you need : MC68060RC50 mask 71E41J rev6
I am talking to some suppliers in Shenzhen to see if I can get some + sockets + heatsinks.

Hi Mike. If I am still on your daughtherboard-list, can you include a 060 and a heatsink in the shipping if you get hold of some ?

Great news about the new core! You know we'd love to beta-test the core for you :-D

About cores: Has anyone testet any other cores with the replay board which they use ? Like Atari, c64 or anything else (game-cores) ?

It would be cool to fill a SD card with lots of Cores from Arcade machines and then have a Core-Select menu at top-level for Easy Core selection to fire up Arcade games if one decides not to use the replay board primarily as an amiga.

Anyone ?

It would be cool if Mike put up a twitter-thingie for sending out info. It would please all subscribers to any news he puts out. I do not use twitter myself, but I would introduce myself to it if there would be a #fpga-arcade channel :-)

And it must be easier for Mike to broadcast stuff instead of having to post here ?

E.g. "Core fixed. Might be released tomorrow" or "Found a bug in daughterboard. Progress  is going smooth" ...and stuff like that. It would be awesome!!!

:)

@Mike: People are queueing up a lot now for the mainboard+daughterboard combo.

Can you say how far the daughterboard has come ?

Great. Thanks for the update. Will it be ready for beta-testing before end of Q3 ?

Hello guys, could you please tell me if it is possible to install this hardfile on the FPGA Arcade.
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4851840/The_Amiga_Master_Collection_ready_to_run_HEAVY_LIFTING_DONE_
This hardfile is very complete,ate least for me :-)
I´m very interested in this great board as my future amiga replacement.
Thanks in advance.


I have the file and it is about 10GB large (the hardfile). It works nice on WinUAE though -- as you also probably have tried. Yet, I would have to shrink it a little down to fit my 8GB SDIO card to test on the Replay first. I will bring it home and try and see if it works. It boots up a plain OS3.1 with WHDLoad on it and a ton of games/demos -- so I think it will work pretty nice. Just have to test it first :D

Thanks for that link. It'll be a nice baseline for my new hardfile :)

Great to hear there is lots of progress on the core and the project in total.
Any news on when we can see some screenshots on the daughterboard in beta-action ?

I've had the base board for about 1,5 years or so :)

@Mike: Hi Mike -- been away from this board for a few months. Just wondering if there is  a releasedate for the beta of the daughterboards yet ?
