Which FPGA Implementation of Amiga are you looking forward too? - Page 3

NovaCoder · 02 June 2011, 02:59

I'm more interested in a drop-in MB replacement FPGA Amiga that fits in the original 1200 case and would probably pay up to about $500 for something really nice.

I'm less interested in a stand-alone enhanced AGA Mini-ITX MB but I guess I would consider buying one to replace my real 1200 one day.

I'm still not sure what advantage these boards give you over just using WinUAE though and what kind of 'feeling' you'd get from using one. I guess with a drop-in MB replacement it would be very easy to forget that it’s not using the original chipset whereas with the new MB in a PC case it might just feel like a slow PC?

It also looks very unlikley that we'll ever see a drop-in FPGA MB, maybe CloneA could be....but only Jens knows the answer to that one

Which FPGA implementation am I looking forward to???

All of them!!!

Which one(s) might I buy? Oh, that's a totally different question...
As cheap a ..er.. person as I am.. My classics are already leaching away so much, it'll be difficult to justify any of them...

But I hope they all are released and find their audiences...
(The more that sell now (and when released), the more likely I will be to buy one much later on e-bait "much cheaper"......) ;-)

I guess you'll be fpga replay or mcc216 then since these are the cheapest options
