I've tested the POF, foft, but there's not much to do besides some basic (in both senses) stuff. I suppose the new experiment, with GTIA modes, will allow some games to run, so I can start the storm of game testing and reporting This is going to be very funny!

Of course there is! PCE with ROM selector on the DE1 would be beyond incredible. Magial Chase on VGA makes me bark and salivate... This board is getting a crazy little gem thanks to you guys! What about the traditional joystick-on-gpio interface like Minimig and 1ChipMSX cores use? It's very easy to build (MMrobinsonb5 built mine and it works great!). It's based on simle pull-up resistors. And joystick emulation on keyboard (arrows, ctrl, alt) would suffice for people without such a home-made solution. PD: I have a Chameleon64 too. Are you releasing a PC-Engine core for it, too? Oh man, oh man...

I just registered to the Atariage forums because of this project. I'm drooling over these pictures, foft!! How can a simple system test be so beautifull? When you know it's going to be the first open hardware implementation of an Atari 8-bit computer, it becomes a beautiful view... The Atari 800XL was my first "own" computer, when I was 9. Now I have the Altera DE1 board (wich I use as an Atari800-descendant, the Amiga, given it has a pretty mature port you can find here: http://minimig.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=552&start=50), but the perspective of making a new Atari 800XL from this board is fantastic. JamesD: What other computer/console cores have you seen ported for the DE1? So far I know: -1ChipMSX (MSX2+) ported by CARO -The Minimig re-ported by Chaos (www.minimig.net). It's like an Amiga 600 with HDD, scandoubler and a good amount of RAM (8MB). -The incomplete Torlus consoles (FPGAGen, PC Engine) wich lack roms-on-sd and a selector. -CoCo3 by Gary Becker
