Taking a quick break from the Amiga core development to ship some hardware. Workbench is full, this is the overflow storage! (These are all going to the distributors. If you were on the original list please email me. I also have boards at reduced cost for developers still)...

Amiga RTG (Graphics card) working and in Beta
Sat, 21 Nov 2015
MikeJ
The latest Amiga AGA core is in beta with support for P96 compatible RTG. It also includes a hardware blitter engine which is used by the card driver to speed up window movements. There is still work to do increasing the pixel clock, but it's nice to see these modes working cleanly over DVI/HDMI. Thanks especially to Jim Drew for work...

Time for another update. Sometimes it seems things go a bit quiet here - while it's true September is a busy month with my other (money earning) activities, there has been a lot going on with Replay. I've just finished the tweaks for the DDR controller needed for the vector games (Asteroids and StarWars) and the RTG graphics mode for the...

I also realized that my Pacman core was a little dated, other people...

This was necessary to sync the work between the workstation and laptop, so I can get the daughter board and AGA debug board out to production. Focus this week is shipping more boards, I know some of you are waiting patiently.... I'm also...

Well, just about. Glastonbury was amazing, but now I've sobered up, flown home and I have been busy testing boards all day. I received an update from the Mist guys (we work on the 68K CPU together) and have updated the Amiga core. Still some issues, but moving forward. I'll be spending the next few days working on the website and sorting...

I'm off to a music festival in England (Glastonbury) today and I'll be out of email contact for a few days. You can see some pictures from last year here : http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/gallery/ Back to shipping boards, finishing this website and getting more cores released next week. Best, MikeJ...
