Mike I am also interested in replay board + daughter board + 060!


BTW: what is estimated price of full set, including replay board + daughter board + 060?
Any expected time of availability?

No idea.  Considering Mike is still trying to get his hands on a bunch of 68060 chips it will be impossible for him to say.  I'd recommend just get the main board when it is available again and wait on the daughter board.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

Yes this is true. Possible to span a virtual disk over multiple files?

Yeah, thats how wii & ps2 iso's can be loaded from fat32.
It's slightly annoying but not as annoying as using another filesystem.

Hi all there ;)

For those who are interested, I have made a little video of one FPGA Arcade board in action and fully assembled in a Mini ITX case with the ATX Adapter and I/O Backpanel.

You can see some pictures of the assembling and the video HERE.

Mike and Yakube are doing a very great work ;)

It really worth it ;)

Thanks, Faranheit

Very nice! I really envy the people who already got one!

Hi,

 Just curiosity: what is the highest screen resolution available on FPGA Replay Board there? I ask in context of  16:9 monitor displays...

Depends also on frame rate. It has been tested at 1920x1080 and 1280x720 etc.

Would love to buy one of these, but when will some be available again?

Hello guys, could you please tell me if it is possible to install this hardfile on the FPGA Arcade.
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4851840/The_Amiga_Master_Collection_ready_to_run_HEAVY_LIFTING_DONE_
This hardfile is very complete,ate least for me :-)
I´m very interested in this great board as my future amiga replacement.
Thanks in advance.


What program did you use to unzip this file? I downloaded a couple of free programs and all I get is "file not compatible" type messages. Thanks

Some months ago I was honoured to be told I was "the next" to get a Replay...

Well now we have some non-Replay news here

http://www.reghardware.com/2012/05/22/chip_maker_via_outs_49_dollar_raspberry_pi_alike/

Interestingly VIA now have a name for the Replay board form factor - Neo ITX

I wonder if any other standards will emerge while I patiently wait

Oh, they have "stolen" my form factor, it's exactly the same size and mounting holes.

Methanoid - yes you are next. To clarify the situation ...

Sorry I have been quiet the last few days, I have been away at a music festival drinking far too much. I have received a complete barrage of email about Faranheit's advertising of the Replay board.

We have been in contact for a while and I have been using him as pre-production non-developer beta tester. I agreed that he could put boards in cases and resell them if he wished, but that other distributors may come on line, and the boards would always be available directly from the http://www.fpgaarcade.com website.

The price for the current boards is 199Euro + VAT for the non-composite/svhs version and 229Euro +VAT with. VAT in Sweden is 25%. I can ship without VAT to companies only in the EU. Everybody who has mailed me and requested a board is still in the queue and will be prioritized over the disti channels!

Producing boards is not a problem, but I do not want to sign off the PO for assembly of the next batch until I am 100% happy. I have about 30 boards which are not stable because the DRAM timing is fixed in the current core - and every chip will have slightly different timing. So, the full validation is being held up until I am totally happy, then we press the button.

The new core looks pretty much the same as before, but a whole lot of infrastructure has changed to support multiple cores and dynamic configuration etc. A number of people are working converting different games or platforms to the board.

It has been a long journey, but we really are reaching the good bit now.
Thank you for your patience ;)
