MiSTer FPGA Forum

Just to underline my point (and thank you to the admin for cleaning up the thread, it got a bit heated there). The vampire is fun, but the price point is quite steep. With shipping and taxes the sub total is in the $800 range for me up here in Norway. It is here that the Mister makes for a wonderful alternative. I also feel the Mister deserves more...

No worries, understood.

Then stick to the REAL thing. The Mister is NOT an Amiga-only FPGA device, so stop treating it like it is. And what can an ageing Amiga do that a modern PC can't do ? Answer = Nothing. Eh, have you looked at the code for the OS? It's not gaming im interested in, its moving the OS forward together with the hardware. My interest IS the amiga core, y...

Yeah I think you might be right. In my mind it doesn't have to be AMMX/SAGA. RTG is cool and already there, so getting the cpu over to ARM would kick ass. It would also finally enable me to build the HTML5 browser code I have prepared without so much hassle. Part of the reason I'm on about this, is because we need standards. In a perfect world SDL ...

try software emulator the ARM first, I dare you, I double dare you Eh, if you know who I am (congratulations, I have had the same nick for 30 years) then you already know that I do regular rebuilds of Amibian, both for ARM native and JS (presently doing a WASM port). Emulation is not an issue. The whole point here was that if we have this kick-ass...

Ron: There is a lot that is unknown about the vampire situation, but the whole coldfire rumor, let me explain: When the vampire started out there were some very loud open-source advocates in the community that thought the vampire was open-source. So they jumped on it and started to create clones. Obviously this was not popular so a legal threat was...

The V4SA is not the answer. It's in far too limited numbers and costs an arm and a leg (about 600eu) I don't think there's even more than 500-600 units out there (and I'm being generous with that number) I think there are more Vampire units out there than we suspect. When they visited the Amiga32 event, they had 200 units (stand alone) with them. ...

Just to follow up with some context on why the Mister core developers should consider this : Since Commodore went under, different parts of the Amiga patent portfolio is owned by different individuals and companies. The most loud being Cloanto and Hyperion, which has been locked in a perpetual lawsuit for the better part of 2 decades. The Mister co...

May I ask, what's stopping you from creating this core yourself or gathering a team for this? You at the very least seem well positioned to at least outline the requirements/vision of such a project and get the ball rolling. My skills are limited to software development. Verilog is a very different ballgame, and requires electronics know-how. I am...

I noticed that there already was a post regarding a faster Amiga core, but since the dialog there is somewhat angry, I figured I could post my request and reasoning in a new post. I have been involved with next-generation Amiga developments for the past 9 years. I am the author of Quartex (QTX) media desktop, which is a re-implementation of Amiga O...
