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 ;)

I think i used 7zip or winrar, one of them that´s for sure.


Thanks, 7Zip worked, Winrar and another (can't remember the name) didn't. I hate these files that you have to go searching for specific program to get them to open.

Is this board going to be available from Amigakit or the FPGA arcade site in the future or is it just going to be "on the waiting list" type of thing?

Cheers for the update Mike.  I'm on a trip for 4 weeks.  I'm hoping for a new core by then...

Pretty please.  :D

Is the second batch (some 200 hundred, was it?) getting ready ?
When can we hope to see the order form on your site Mike ?

Cheers, and keep up the good work !

So my situation is this...

I was holding out for the NatAmi but since it's been put on the shelf i am now looking at the FPGA Arcade instead. Can someone tell me how much it will cost and how long it will take to get it after i pay for it?

Don't know why everyone keep saying it's put on the shelf.
It's still progressing. Just slower then before.

Go to http://www.natami.net/knowledge.php if you need your Natami fix.

NatAmi is NOT cancelled. It has just gone a bit more underground. Development may (or not) even go faster this way.

Anywayz... it definitely isn't near launch. So, the spotlight is on the FPGA Replay. I want to buy one, and then when NatAmi gets released in a year or two, I will buy that one too. I want to support all those guys doing such a fantastic work for the Amiga community.

For people in the USA, if the Euro crisis doesn't get resolved soon, 199Euro might equal $1 by Christmas.

AUD$293. That's pretty good. I'm definitely interested  :)

Thanks guys. I'm planning to use a Fractal case. The same as used in the X1000 but mine will be the mini version seen below. I'm saving my pennies starting now.

Now i'm interested in the replay what kind of benchmarks are there to drool over? Has someone done any yet? What kind of speeds are we talking about?

If i recall correctly FPGA is not recognized by SYSINFO  :confused:
