Asfaik, it's closed source to this date. But the intention is to release it at a later date when it's more finished (BSD or GPL?).

Unhappy Re: FPGA Replay Board

I was an early adopter of this board, but I'm also worried with the lack of cores for it.
I don't know what to think at this point.

Vaporware? Like NatAmi?

How can it be vapourware when quite a few of us have working models?

It is a fact that Jakub is working on the daughterboard and I have absolutely no doubt that Mike has the parts for the next release of the boards. One thing I can tell you about Mike is that he is a perfectionist and those boards will not be sent out until he has tested them and updated the new core to his satisfaction. Couple this with the fact that making FPGA Arcades is not his primary job, and you can understand why weeks (and sometimes months) go by without an update.

Hang in there. It isn't Xmas yet.

That hasn't stopped anyone saying it about Natami either :P There's 7 of those at last count.

However I agree, MikeJ has put a huge amount of work into the FPGAArcade and is just doing his fulltime job and being duly diligent in getting this labour of love right.

People don't appreciate how much effort it takes to do something like this when it's just one person doing all aspects of the work.

Amen to the above.

I can't even start to describe what I have been through to make the X500 PLUS and that has no electronics inside...

Keep up the good work Mike, my board will sit in a shiny black X500

I'm with y'all.... Sometimes it looks like people think it's still the glory days of Commodore, with a staff a full-time engineers instead of a few dedicated enthusiasts working in their spare time. BTW, It's my understanding that most of the cores are supposed to come from the "community" once the board is in wider distribution.

Thanks for the kind words.
Jakub and I sync'd this week. We have both been kinda busy.
I have just moved flat which has caused chaos, but I have the servers and workstation up and running again, and a place to work.
I talked to the factory this morning, so it is coming together.
Swamped at the moment, but getting there.
/Mike

Other people are working on porting code yes, but I will be doing this as well.
I supply a wrapper which gives access to all the IO and then it is quite easy to drop other stuff into that and load it from the SD card.

Great! Looking forward to it when it's ready for the masses. ;-)

Brilliant, really looking forward to this. Glad you're settling into your new place too.
