many thanks to you for your effort. I think FPGA Arcade is the only bigger 68k retro project that really get "buyable" (in opposite to Natami and many others that were just announced)

Mike, existing owners?

I can't seem to find specific mention of support for usb joysticks/pads. What level of support can we expect in the short term? Are HID digital pads supported? Can we expect analogue sticks to work? Emulating 9 state digital or full analogue support?

I only ask as I have a stash of amiga/atari DB9 sticks, but only 1 works perfectly. I snapped the last of the spare springs on my QuickJoy sticks...

I've got some PC 15 pin midi port flight sticks too, but I'm guessing i'd need an adapter to DB9 for those.

The current core is very close to the original hardware, so only 9PIN digital.
There are analog inputs on the ARM which can be used in future.
The USB adapter adds keyboard and mouse, and can be extended to all sorts of stuff in future.
Cheers,
Mike

Any news?
What about the 060 daughterboard? It would be nice to hear something about it.

I'd like to know what happened to the imminent Amiga core release announced months ago. Not in a hurry, but I'm interested in the technical difficulties preventing the release from happening.

thanks!

Just got back from China. Boards look great, are shipping now out of China following me.
No problems with the core, just got stuck with the logistics and work stuff again. Every time I think I am finished I re-write something else, or found I have broken something.
I am still having problems with the cache and timing path through the DRAM.
Cheers,
Mike

This is actually pretty HUGE news dude!
You should be shouting about it more Mike :)

Has anyone tried Scala MM 400 with the replay board?

Prediction: It will be shipping any minute now.

Why? Because I finally figured out how to build my own Minimig core for my C-One, so now Sod has no reason to keep me away from an FPGAArcade...
(so sorry guys, _I_ can wait even if I want one)

Perhaps there's something wrong with you? ;)

I have a C-One. Sometimes I think that is proof enough.

Hey Mikej...are you saying that the daughterboard is actually going to be in development and reality? You do know Mikej I am going to sell my A1200 and buy FPGA Replay if what you are saying is true. The mere fact I will have a 120 Mhz 060 which is faster than Apollo 1260 @ 120 Mhz in comparison and the fact I can have 128 MB CHIP RAM and the fact it is built into it an RTG allowing me to run SDL games and apps....is ONE BIGGEST reason why this is the biggest upgrade for Amiga classic hardware and a huge entice to get the FPGA Replay. Do you have any idea the price Mikej? Is it going to be the same price as the FPGA Replay? Do you know when it will be available?

Yes, the daughterboard is in layout but paused until the main board is shipping.
Jakub has working prototypes and the new layout is pretty similar.

UPS tried to deliver 20Kg of Replay boards today, unfortunately I was out :(
