Deneb is without a doubt my best investment.

Any scan converter to use with available monitors is probably the top thing though.  Without that or digging up an old monitor you're out of luck.  Sort of the same thing with the Deneb and keyboard/mouse.

RTG of some sort is right up there near the top.

I'd say a PCI adapter, but the only thing I use it for is RTG.

Why have you pushed this thread to be about FPGA Arcade? Is this somehow linked to another thread? [Edit: Ah I've found it. Would have been nice if freqmax had mentioned this in his first post]


I still don't see how this is related to FPGA Arcade.

If that's the case, I'd like working USB (as opposed to dead ports).  I haven't owned PS2 or Amiga input devices in years.

Simple RTG too, 3D isn't a big issue for me.  None of my monitors are less than 1440x900 native and scaling on LCD's looks rough.  Fast 2D is plenty for my needs.

The list of chipsets is on the Posseidon USB stack website. http://www.platon42.de/index2.html

Pegasus, Pegasus II, ASIX, Davicom, MosChip and RealTek Chipsets.

I use one intended for the Nintendo Wii (it's an ASIX), works great.  I assume there aren't many drivers in the Wii firmware, so it's probably a safe bet, is available everywhere and doesn't cost much at all.
