Natami. No disrespect to any of the other projects, but Natami looks to be the most significantly improved of the bunch, so yay for that.

For me it has to be the NatAmi, for lots of reasons but the main one being that's it's the closest we'll ever come to having new hardware that can truly replace an AGA Amiga in future, instead of having to pay over the odds on eBay for a piece of hardware that's 20 years old... :)

MiniMig, since it's the only one we can actually buy.

I went for FPGA Arcade, though if it turns out that Natami isn't much more expensive I will get that instead. Natami looks to be much more powerful than the Arcade, but I doubt I will be able to justify the extra cost.

I would be a bit surprised to see anyone voting for Minimig, as while it was a tremendous achievement at the time it will be a bit redundant once Natami and FPGA Arcade are out. The only advantage it has is that it is available now :)

EDIT: Sod's law that as I typed the above someone voted Minimig!

And for the exact reason you said someone would.  When another FPGA Amiga is available, my favorite may change, but until there is one that runs my Amiga software better than the MiniMig, it is my favorite.

Jens Schoenfeld suggested to me his http://www.vesalia.de/e_chameleon.htm

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=59405

ie jens has got minimig core working on his Chameleon 64.

but I think FPGA arcade will only be about 20 or 30 euros more.

I would say NAtami but With no clear release date nor Tentative price who knows what the future holds, i think there also possibility to buy NaTami with socketed cpu card for your own 68060 to be used.

Indeed, you forgot the Chameleon and the MCC-216 in your poll.

I had to vote for Minimig as I have two and its the old new hardware solution you can currently purchase to play Amiga games.

Thats not to say that I wont upgrade to a new FPGA solution in the future when they are available to purchase, but at the moment the Minimig is the best new Amiga for playing games since the A1200 in my opinion.

Agreed.  Considering I can only buy a Minimig, I'll have to go with that.

I believe Natami has some Clone-A added.
I like all FPGA Amigas.
