Given that Zhulien is trying to get enough people to order the vdp9990 add on card from Technobytes, I thought I would just post the latest video of micromachines we've just started developing. This video is taken from OpenMSX emulator, but 100% works on real CPC, MSX & Enterprise hardware. Currently all running at 50fps. Hopefully knowing software is being developed and that a game creation engine for it will soon be available might help some people take the plunge :) Take a look at Zhulien's thread in the hardware section.

QG9Kengine is a addition to the Quigs language/editor. Offering a powerful and very fast language with the tools needed to quickly get games up and running. I will be doing videos and tutorials on coding with the QG9K engine soon too.

That's pretty amazing, sorry I didn't see this thread until now too - and I really wished Technobytes went through with the deal so we all have gfx cards - or at least some of us.  Now I guess it's up to someone creative in the CPC community with some spare time and hardware knowledge to fulfil this fantasy - does your game bang the vdp9990 or is there some type of abstraction layer that other gfx cards might one day take it's place and the software still run?

If I got it correctly, someone in the MSX scene is currently working on an FPGA-based V9990 clone.

I'm not convinced about the pool table cloth colour and the hole inside.
Good progress, but a huge work left to have the real playable game like this.

It's MSX2 , but on Amstrad / Enterprise with V9990 it will look the same.
