Amstrad CPC on the MIST-FPGA board (http://www.octoate.de/wp/2015/10/17/amstrad-cpc-on-the-mist-fpga-board/?pk_campaign=feed&pk_kwd=amstrad-cpc-on-the-mist-fpga-board)
17 October 2015, 11:30 amDo you know the MIST-FPGA board (http://lotharek.pl/product.php?pid=96)? No? It is intended to rebuild old computer systems and consoles with it. I use the term “rebuild” because it fits better in combination with a FPGA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array) than “emulate”, because there is no program running within the FPGA, but it is real hardware which is running. Confused :-)? Anyway, the name MIST is a combination of A
miga and Atari
ST, and of course, both systems are already running on the systems together with a lot of other computer and console systems, too (e.g. Nintendo NES, Commodore 64, PC Engine, etc.). Since some time, there is also an Amstrad CPC core available for the MIST-FPGA board and it was released in version r004.7.2 some days ago. The new version features some bugfixes and support for the R-Type remake by Easter Egg (http://www.octoate.de/wp/2012/02/03/renewed-r-type-version-by-easter-egg/). So if you own a MIST-FPGA board, give it a try. You can find more information about the installation of the Amstrad CPC core (https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki/CoreDocAmstrad) and the binaries (https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-binaries/tree/master/cores/amstrad) on the MIST-FPGA GitHub page (https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board).
