I’ve been eyeing the vampire v4 standalone. FPGA reimagining of the amiga with backwards compatibility
- galangalalgol 2y agoIt doesn't seem like it tries to emulate any of the constraints the original Amiga had. Is it essentially just a way to run newer versions of amigaos on modern hardware?
- christkv 2y agoIt still to the metal coding but evolves the platform a bit it seems adding i guess a bit the future that could have been if Commodore had been run well.
- snvzz 2y agoToo proprietary, and no ecosystem to speak of. (as a consequence of the former) I'd look at minimig-aga and other such open hardware efforts.
- icedchai 2y agoI have one and it's cool, but doesn't give me the same feeling as the original hardware. Perhaps I'm just old.
- basementcat 2y agoJust a quick note that the Vampire may not implement the subset of the 68851 PMMU in the '030 and may not boot this OS (or NetBSD or Linux).
