ADOOM on A600 running 22-35 FPS

Does the vampire need a significant redesign to add all the extra goodness or can we simply put in a pin compatible (or as close as possible) memory and fpga upgrade at little extra cost?

I simply dont know what the cost is for each potential change. If we are taking about up to £10 to add an extra 64MB of ram then yes, as much as possible within reason. However, if it ramps up the cost significantly then that will be more than the majority will pay for and just leave the vampire600 as is and build something entirely new for those of us who want it. I'll be more than happy with the existing card in my A600, but could stretch to double/triple the price for a meaty CD32/A1200/big box variant.

What you and Igor, etc. have done with the Vampire600 is amazing.

I take it there isnt a compatible single chip upgrade to the current 64 MB?

[cunnpole]

What do you mean?

Like when the rasp pi was upgraded from 256 to 512MB of ram with little extra cost involved. I believe it was a straight part swap.

People should learn to have realistic expections - then the risk for dissapointment is lower.

I think the vast majority are in agreement. I'm more than happy with the idea of 80mips + 64MB in my A600. Anything else you can give us is a bonus.  

Is this still the plan? If so, how much for option 3?
1) Vampire 600
64MB
Status: Sold by Kipper

2) Vampire 500
64 MB
IDE
Status: in Beta-test (mainly used by Igor)

3) Apollo/Phoenix
128 MB
SDCard
(lots of extra features ...)
Status: in Beta-Testing (10 boards atm)

There is nothing technically in APOLLO which prevents doing an ASIC.

I dont think anyone disputes that. The implication was just that it is less likely if we dont engage with, and make it attractive to, the types of people who could afford to build one with us.

[cunnpole]

I actually don't doubt any of that and also think talk of ASIC or any other future step is premature. This is already likely to turn the amiga upgrade market upside down. When the board become available for all systems then we'll be able to see where to go next

ppcamiga1 crap that you made is worth nothing crap.

if you work with ppcamiga1, it's clear why ppcamiga1 still not sell anything.

ppcamiga1 where is my brain?

Fixed that for you...
