DVI/HDMI has some "must support" modes to be allowed to use the logo. They also have a crappy license for the HDMI part.

So if I'm reading all this correctly, the monitors that I have that work with my Minimig 1.1 or even my a1200(without scandoubler) in the case of my dell 2320, possibly won't work with FPGA Replay because I'll be using HDMI?

I think that if you feed the TV/Monitor with a 31kHz 50Hz signal via a DVI2HDMI adapter, the TV/Monitor should display it properly since a HDMI input should be able to sync the 50Hz signal just as if you fed it from a DVD player. Now, if it does not accept the 31kHz scandoubled signal, you could of course run the Replay in a non-scan doubled mode using the new core to allow 15kHz output. That would be nice for gaming and demos -- but maybe not so nice for the workbench which you might want to use for a P96 mode :)

Now -- the only way to be sure, is to try it out on a monitor. If it works, great. If not, get a new monitor. Most electronic stores allow a 30 day trial and a money back rule, so you are pretty sure to find a suitable monitor without having to pay any extra.

The Minimig had a 15khz/31khz jumper which was nice. The current rev-b board of the Replay has no such jumper, but instead it will be in the OSD Menu. Much nicer :-) Now we just have to hope the core is just around the corner. ..which I think it is.

OSD Menu for image adjustments are perfect when you get not readable image.. :p

I had this exact problem when my Replay arrived.  All I got was a psychedelic wobbly whirly output which made me dizzy.   I got it sorted though - and don't worry, MikeJ's got this covered - the new core will allow us to reconfigure output modes via a config file on the SD Card. Simples! :)

I did not know FPGA Replay has psychedelic wobbly whirly.

Now I really want one.

A circumvention is to allow some button to cycle through some basic modes until something works. That is upon boot and without any screen assistance.

Subject: The Plan - it's working!

See, Mike, I told ya the reference to psychedelic imagery would get people interested!

People love the idea of getting a free trip. In these times of austerity people are looking for any cheap alternatives to the real thing!

BTW, Mike: Has Amiga.org changed the layout of the PM system? It looks an awfully lot like that screen you post public replies to topics on!

Ha ha, we got em.
I was playing around with old school plasma affects you've seen in demos- but doing them directly in hi-res from VHDL at tv scan rate. You get some seriously headache inducing images on the 50" tv.

Oh, I just picked up a xilinx usb download cable I can use with the laptop when I travel - 20$ here! Got to love the Chinese.

Is that the official technical term?  :D

Brings back memories of tripping and watching fairlight demos in college. :/

I'm back home. This morning I've replaced the regulators on 8 boards and all are fine.
Over the next few days I'll continue building and testing the remain boards.
I'll be in touch first with those of you I have already contacted but not taken money from, and then the next people on the list etc.

I've visited the factory in Shenzhen last week and they have started to source components for the next run.
