Re: FPGA Replay Board

Wow, what a thread I stumbled upon.  Had my share of Amigas - heck, the A1000 is still in the basement, but the A500, A600, A2000, A3000, CDTV and CD32 are all long gone.  This project looks fascinating.  From the layman's POV, can "just anybody" order up and assemble one of these boards into a working Amiga?  What's involved?  Who do I talk to, and is there a ballpark cost estimate for what's needed?  Thanks in advance.

Apple didn't have a problem with the emulation.  I demostrated it to Scully and others at their facility in Cupertino.  I was trying to get Apple to make ROMs available for sale (by them) to make it easier for emulations to be made.  Their only concern was compatibility and how it was perceived.  When I showed them the A4000 running circles around their Mac Quadras their concerns were centered around the fact the Amiga was a better architecture.  :)  But, at no time did they ever attempt to stop what I was doing.
@JimDrew -

Oh, wow, you're THAT Jim Drew?  There's a name I hadn't heard of in a long time.  Really missing my Amiga days...

How many people would be interested in purchasing the FPGA Arcade from a source in the U.S.? I am considering buying a bunch of them, so I am curious how many U.S. buyers there would actually be. I would hate to get stuck with a pile of boards! I figured the U.S. retail (at today's exchange rate) is ~$299 for the version with the SVHS option. Let me know! Thanks!

 
I'm a US resident that's interested in getting ahold of one.  If it'd be simpler to buy one from Jim Drew (got a Signature Edition planned?) than direct from Mike, I'd be interested...

I have Amiga Forever from Cloanto on my PC, as well as an old A1000 (working) and A600 (not), either of which I'm seriously considering cannibalizing with an FPGA Arcade board.  Question - would the Kickstart & Workbench files provided by Cloanto's Amiga Forever work with the FPGA?

@Sysop:
1. The FPGA Arcade board can handle 2 HDF hardfiles of 3,99GB maximum size (FAT32 limitations),
2. Kickstart file must copied at the root of the SD Card and you can install at least Workbench 3.5 (standard or Classic WB 3.5) on any of the 2 HDF hardfiles using the the ADF virtual floppies of the Workbench or WinUAE,
3. The FPGA Arcade board can handle up to 4 virtual drives at 2 differents read speed.
 
You can have a look at our video showing it in action on our website HERE with the 'Watch Video' button or HERE with the 'Watch Video' button.
 
Prices INCLUDES french VAT for informations.
 
@Kamelito: DVI / VGA adapter (not cable) works fine with the FPGA Arcade board and we have succesfully tested Rise of the Robots, Hybris, Canon Fodder 1 / 2, Lemmings, California Games, Super Stardust .... on the old firmware, and also Classic Workbench 3.5, Dopus 4.x, DPaintIV, Delitracker, and overall WHDLoad games ;)
