Will be interesting to see the finished Natami with 3D-acceleration etc. though I don't think I will ever buy it, nor any of the other alternatives. I have an old A1200 and once I get around to setting that up I will have enough Amiga for my taste.

digiflip,

an ARM in FPGA is not required if you want to emulate the ARM board for Minimig. Look at the Minimig core for Chameleon: The ARM board is emulated with a second instance of the 68000 processor. The C-Code is compiled using DICE on the Amiga, and it works great. Chameleon has the functionality of a Minimig board with ARM board, and all processors are in the FPGA.

Yep you can see a test of my Chameleon booting ClassicWB 68k using the Minimig core (incl. ARM board) under standalone mode.

NatAmi for me please, I want to see AGA and custom chips taken to the extreme.

Try the new core released today - it's almost twice as fast.

Awesome Jens. Will try it on this evening

Out of curiosity and a bit off topic, how do you do anything with the cartridge in standalone mode?

operate it through a connected pc?

No, the Chameleon has I/O for mouse, keyboard and VGA, and memory and storage on-board. The PC is only needed for updates, and power when in standalone mode.

Although Natami sounds very good, an A1200 replica with '030 or '060 as an option sounds much better to me (yeah, I'm one of those purists

).

But a Natami isn't a replica of the hardware (emulation would be fine) and is much more powerful. I want the same specs as an A1200 with 50mhz '030

Updated connectivity and a linear Paula (no more 14 bit calibration file needed) would be a nice plus, though.

I wasn't making a suggestion, I was stating my own preference. Old style case, correct keyboard layout, nice new electronics. Yum.

should that be possible with lyra?

Nothing beats real amiga, even this one.

You got that right. If only I was a billionaire (not that you'd need that much), then I could just buy Amiga and start the production of Amigas again (at a loss

).

Thought you did because of the quote

Not Lyra, that's for using PC keyboards. Keyrah is the adapter you are thinking of, and it should be possible, space permitting.
