Nueron/NuOS: Amiga-inspired computer project based on Coldfire processors : Comment 60 of 68 | ANN.lu |
Posted by [JC] on 23-Jan-2004 11:06 GMT | Wow, I cant belive me mentioning FPGA implementations of Amiga chips caused such an argument!
Anyway, the reason for FPGA would not be to try and sell it, it would be for fun, and also using FPGA would allow others to build it. As for having exact knowlege of the custom chips, I think UAE proves how much one can do without having exact details about every little thing. I wouldn't bother trying to sell it, as i'd make little money, and anyway it'd probably be illegal to do so.
The goal wouldn't be to make an exact copy of Amiga chips, it'd be to make an Amiga-workalike solution which would hopefully run the original ROM (and maybe some games) with little or no modification. Now that someone mentions the Coldfire chips, I think it'd be very interesting to use one of these together with FPGA's to simulate an Amiga like platform. |
