From what I gather, the existing emulation of the V9990 (in something like OpenMSX) is not perfect - the feedback on the MSX.org forums is that pretty much every new V9990 game or demo that comes out results in bug fixes in OpenMSX. Unlike something like the earlier V9938/9958 VDP designs, it doesn't appear to be emulated well enough to translate into an fpga design quite yet.

On the other side all the normal G9K stuff works great in OpenMSX and on the real Hardware. I Wonder If this is more Like the different crtc types.

From what I gather, there are 2 issues for future batches.  First is that the components are getting forever harder for them to obtain although I am sure someone could create an fpga solution from the existing msx cores out there - if they support v9990 that is.  Secondly is how many CPC users actually want one.  I believe every now and then there will be a bunch of CPC users enough to justify a new batch.

I personally do not like this FPGA emulation, which little by little and insidiously intrudes in our retro machines...

All current spots are closed. The additional cards were sold direct by Tecnobytes.


Please post in the forum when you receive your card so we all have a rough idea of when to expect ours.

We should hear from Tecnobytes soon.

The forecast was 2 and half months after everybody pays, and I guess all the interested persons paid at the end of February.

So mid-May or end of May should be good, provided no problem happened during production process.

Does anyone know whether the Powergraph Lite MSX version with AMSDAP works as well as a CPC Powergraph?

I think that notice was relating to the delivery of the previous batch of MSX PowerGraph Lite carts in 2021.

I've sent them another message this time via their website.

I guess Zhulien would have some kind of feedback if the shipment would have been sent.

Tecnobytes seems to be a serious seller, but not hearing anything from them is quite bad.

Nothing here either, beyond the initial payment request months ago. I even answered the payment request and asked a question about potential additional batches of MSX carts, and it went unanswered.

I will be not surprised they can't source the VDP.
