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.

Going ahead with "mass production"!  That is great news Mike.  Would you care to share what "Mass Production" means?  How many boards are going to be manufactured and assembled in the next production run?

Glad to see that you worked out the last few obstacles that were delaying this day from happening.  The FPGA Arcade Replay board is a great project and I think it has good potential for future expansion and enhancements in both speed and features.

Please let us know all the details that you can.  One of the best things about the FPGA Arcade Replay board is that you have been so open and have shared every step with us about what has been going on behind the scenes without all the silly secrecy that happens with almost every other Amiga related project.  Your open communication has been a breath of fresh air in this community.

Great work and good luck with your plans (what ever they are) to sell hundreds of these boards, if not thousands.  There are so many possibilities for this project and where you take it in the future.

"FCC and CE approval" now that is something that cost and might take time.
Good effort!

Cool, good to hear.

Now all you need to do is hook up with either ACube, AmigaKit or Vesalia and then sell loads of the things ;)

You are so right,
No need for acube or other vendors to make money from mike's project.
I think mike is selling his boards later on true his website.
Good going mikeJ your the master :-)

One has to be careful though as the seller is responsible for boards that get lost in delivery. So one has to refund or send a new board if a user claims he did not receive the board. Even insured delivery is no guarantee (...this is not my signature...) and there are people abusing this system. Don't know in which countries this is valid.

greets,

It depends on the payment processor, really.
PayPal will side with the buyer in any country, for example.

@Mike: Tomorrow is my last chance for flashing with new FW to get 15kHz +DVI output before leaving for Poland for the "Wisla Extravagansa Polish Amiga Hotel Gaming Expo 2012". If there is a remote chance to get a pre-beta test fw/core, I would be super glad.

Desperately seeking 15kHz :-)

You're wasting your time.  I sent him 10 goats, 50 chickens, jesus' left pinky finger, a map showing the location of the fountain of youth, my first born son and a pair of Angelina jolie's used knickers for the same thing and he never delivered.  ;)

Ha, Angelina Jolie's knickers did not arrive - there it your problem.
Actually I'm in China again which was a bit unexpected, and I'm a bit sick.
However, I've brought a board and usb debugger with me.
You can force it into 15K mode manually by adding a wire...
Tell you what, I'll try to do a "bodge" merge of the old code today.
Espen, mail me and I'll tell you how to do the 15K mod. However, the composite out won't work with this still.
If you are taking a laptop with you and micro usb cable you can update when you get there?

@Mike: I am not sure if I can bring a laptop with me as it is currently running my web server for my BBS. I'll send you an email for the receipe for the 15kHz wire-hack as it might be enough in case the TV on-site has issues with 15kHz VGA signals which i guess it'll have. It's worth a try. :-)

@Mike: Thanks for the tip on how to disable the scandoubler to get 15kHz output.

How does one go about getting a product like this approved by them? And does that get you worldwide certification, or are there other things to be done for some parts of the world?
