Thats the same problem we have with the STF remake :( I am buying bulk lots of chips of what I can, but the rest will have to go FPGA :(DrF wrote: 22 Aug 2019 10:43 I think part the problem with these is you need a dead real one for the chips to be ripped off :(
Then the problem comes that if you replacing X amount of chips with a FPGA why not just go full FPGA and emulate the thing (Atari/Amiga/Amstrad/Sega whatever else) anyhow, that's a whole other argument right there :lol:
Indeed. If we put everything in a FPGA, we end up with a MiST, or suska etc. So what would be the point in the project. There's been talks on here about it already anyway.DrF wrote: 22 Aug 2019 13:19 Then the problem comes that if you replacing X amount of chips with a FPGA why not just go full FPGA and emulate the thing (Atari/Amiga/Amstrad/Sega whatever else) anyhow, that's a whole other argument right there :lol:
Very blurry lines between emulation/real hardware/remakes and emulated parts :shock:
Yeah, Needs some of that cheap china cloning going on with it all ...DrF wrote: 22 Aug 2019 13:19 I'm guessing it would be near impossible to have new runs of the original chips made and if so I can only imagine the costs :shock:
That’s exactly why I do open minekludge wrote: 22 Aug 2019 09:00 If people would just open up their projects. Constantly reinventing the wheel is stupid.
