It has optional svideo/composite output. Correct, apart from that you have a dVI output which gives you analog vga if you add a dvi2vga adapter. With current Core/FW you will not be able to connect to a DVI monitor (or use a dvi2hdmi adapter) as  the DVI only holds analogue signal currently.

Mike has scheduled a fix for this in the future so we can get digital outputs from the DVI which lets us use a dvi2hdmi adapter (or connect directly to a dvi-monitor input for best possible signal quality). And even better, he'll enable a setting in the OSD that give you a chance to choose if you want 15kHz or 31kHz horizontal scanrate (currently you only have 31kHz).

So we have great things to look for in the coming updates.

The board totally rocks!! I've used mine for over a year and it is a great product. I has never failed me once.

@MIKE: How about opening a FPGA Arcade Facebook page ? That way everyone can follow any changes in real time, and everyone can commend and share stuff. We can add images and stories.

Or maybe someone would like to open the Group on behalf, so that Mike does not have to spend time on it ?

If yes -- what would be the best name:

A) FPGA Arcade
B) FPGA Replay
C) Minimig
D) Replay Board
...etc ?

We also have Minimig.net.  That would be an ideal place to chat and keep up-to-date.

I'd also like to add to your notes that mine has also been performing flawlessly and has even passed an unintended "stress test" when I disappeared on a month long business trip and left it switched on.  :)

P-p-please NO,. Facebook tries to infest every aspect of life. I guess it's not even browsable from 68k AmigaOS.
Mixing this project with other activities and with three-letter organizations just brings on tech illiterate people.

Facebook, ummmm, not thanks, not everyone like FB. I won't be following along on FB, that's for sure. I don't have an account and don't intend on getting one.

Google+ is the current choice for people wanting to turn themselves into products for online social corporations to sell to advertisers.

Allright, I will undo my comments. Disregard them. Forget them. :-))))))))

We need updates on fpga-arcard. Screenshots from the daughterboard is very longed for.

The working prototype does, but we've already seen that.

The daughterboard exists as layout in my laptop.
I'll post a piccy when it's completely done.

Hiya Mike,

Any ETA when these will be available to buy for the masses?

They are shipping now, just slowly as I work through the pre-orders.
It takes a lot of time to hand assemble and test each board.
Now I have FCC and CE approval I'm going ahead with mass production.
