Hey Fellow Amigans,
I've been a proud member of the Amiga faithful since ~1989, and a long time reader and lurker of Amiga sites since around 1994/95. I've enjoyed keeping up to date with all the twists and turns we've endured over the years, but mostly kept to myself. I'm generally the type to keep out of the way (less likely to get flamed that way!), unless I feel I've got something useful to contribute.
Well, it seems that in a few days or weeks (touch wood), I will indeed - finally! - have something very unique and interesting to contribute
That's because I am, very soon, hoping to be the proud new owner of one of MikeJ's fantastic new FPGA Replay Arcade boards! If you're anything like me, you may be full of questions about this remarkable new board and how it works, etc. There's a lot to learn about this board's capabilities. But I think I'm finally getting to grips with it all now and would like to share what I've learnt
There are some very good threads about the board over here at Amiga.org, but they're so large it can be hard to easily find what you're looking for. So my intention is to make myself useful by setting up a website/blog and YouTube Channel in order to help document my own findings with the FPGA Replay, and to share with you all some of my discoveries in a neat, presentable fashion. I'll also aim to contribute to the FPGA Replay-related discussions here at Amiga.org as best I can.
If I can force myself to act, I plan to set up FAQ's and information pages, based upon what I know so far, and once the board arrives, upload pictures and videos of the board in action so you can all better see for yourselves what it's capable of, etc.
Last of all: I also have a little something extra special to share - in the form of an recorded but unreleased interview I did a few years back with a certain former Amiga celebrity. I plan to tidy this up and release it in the near future. I regret not releasing it before now, but I had some 'troubles' with a certain Amiga company (who shall remain nameless, but which you can probably guess the name of since they seem extremely skilled at causing maximum pain, inconvenience and difficulty to anyone they've ever have any sort of dealing or communication with!)
So basically, now I feel I've got something to share, I wanted to create an account and get sharing. So, in brief: please forgive my 16 or so years of silence but I now aim to make up for that total lack of quantity, with total quality now :lol:
Howdy all, look forward to hanging and chatting with you cool guys more often
