GOLD core released for Vampire 600 V2

[Crom00]

I reckon if they are re-designing CPU's then implementing ECS / AGA in FPGA from all the available info out there should be possible. I mean ECS was done on MiniMIG and AGA was done for the MIST so why not...Given the pace they are moving at I'd say the future is bright!

[wawrzon]

the succession or priorities of the development are strange though. why not finish the cpu with the fpu as those units belong together anyway. and then turn to (s)aga as it is a completely different construction..

Isn't "Gold" the last release? Or other releases are planned?

[kolla]

Indeed, especially after the bragging about how awesomely fast the FPU would be, you would think it should be prioritized. But then again, maybe being able to play AGA games is more pressing from customers point of view.

[Crom00]

I guess if they are planning a stand alone they gotta get on the ECS/ AGA stuff at some point.

Other releases are planned.  Some may cost something.  Gold release was the finallized instruction set.

Yeah, well... we have seen how much time getting stand alone boards out can take.

Has anyone tested these with Odamex, Strife, BOOM, or Quake?

Doom and Quake are tested by the team often.  Quake runs rather slow due to the soft floating point math but Doom runs faster than an '060 would.

It's a good job that everyone who has ever owned an Amiga is willing to pay for every single piece of software they ever used & didn't look for ways to copy anything illegally. Wait......

[eXeler0]

@XDelusion How far did you get with your AB3D work using Odamex?

ShK shared a Vampire500 video using Arties Netsurf NoFPU build, while playing MP3. Pretty neat.

WOW! Vampire makes Amiga fun again

FPU please for 500/1200 version :hammer:

ShK has a Delfina, so he may have been playing the MP3 over that consuming almost no CPU load.  Nice Netsurf demo though.

I got V600, Netsurf NoFPU and AmigaAMP, but no sound/musiccard. No slowdown while playing 320 kbps module at 44khz. The only times I hear choppy playback is when i resize the browserwindow.
No slowdown at other times like when I load pages or scroll up and down the screen.
