If you mean FPGA Arcade, most action happens now at http://www.fpgaarcade.com/punbb/

shouldnt it be somehow put as sticky for those interested? otherwise one really might got impression the project were abandoned. i for my part  have lost the track. have these consumer hardware releases, its been talked about year ago or more, talkn place?

@ Wawrzon:

There's still lots of "tweaking" going on, and the details are available on the FPGA Arcade forum.  It is worth signing up as new developers are appearing on a regular basis, and each of them has a desire to create a new core.

Right now we have some final touches being applied to the Amiga core, a working VIC-20, work in progress on various Atari cores, work in process on the C64 and some aracde games in various statges of development.
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.

Yep, I try and leave the developers to do their stuff and just add a few lines of encouragement or ask some occasional simple questions.  :)

Atari core. As in 8-bit I hope!!! :)

400/800/XE/XL and ST in the works apparently.  :)

The ST will be useful if it evolves into STE and can play Pac-Man on E's. Though the 8-bit systems are really where it's at for me! I'd be hyped, even if Amiga support wasn't part of the package! :)

The implementation is done by foft, and I have it running here already on the Altera DE1 board.
It's an incredible work! Now, Atari 8bit hardware lives forever, as it's open-source too. :)

Now that's some exciting news indeed!!!

While not FPGA related, what are possible uses of SAM460ex FPGA under Linux, AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS?

When they've got an Atari Falcon clone I'll be interested. :)

Well having SAM460ex FPGA emulating Falcon or DSP would be awesome, if possible, or if any FPGA Arcade or similar cores could be used?

How portable are these computer clone implementations to other FPGA chips? The one used in Replay is marked "not suitable for new designs" asfair. So newer Xilinx chips will be needed sooner or later.
