SegaSnatcher

At least you realized quick enough that this project was dumpster fire territory. I just called out the obvious that I thought most people would see as well. Funny how so many of those people who attacked me for my opinions no longer frequent this forum.

Simple, they refund all remaining preorders without having to be asked. The project is clearly dead, they need to do the right thing.

So was this ever confirmed a dead project? I've been out of the loop for a bit. No way are they still promising the Amico will release at this point.

We don't know if its even using a Cyclone V this time around and if it did it definitely wouldn't be the part they have been using over these past few years on other products. Could be a totally different FPGA brand this time around.

It's not the same FPGA. They are both Cyclone V, but DE-10 Nano's FPGA has over 2X the LE and has an ARM core. Noir, Super NT, Mega SG and Pocket's main FPGA uses a 49K LE part. It will be interesting to find out what FPGA is used in the 3D.

Yeah, I call BS on the FPGA PS2. The hardware needed to write a PS2 core would be quite expensive and writing such a core would require some serious time and skills.

So just to for more clarification. The forums will continue to allow sub forums of brands/hardware not related to Atari for the foresseable future, or will there be a situation where it will be only Atari talk?

Yeah, price isn't too bad.

Looks cute, but I'm assuming this just dumps the carts in ram like the Retron 5.

BBG isn't IE, but the projects are still going to be tied to that company in some way. That matters and is relevant to point out. BBG doesn't have any track record of shipping hardware before, they are known for releasing a handful of low budget games you'd find buried on the Nintendo shop. If it were Evercade who were involved then I'd have a hell of a lot more faith in these projects.

You can't use original Carts on MiSTer, for some people that matters.

Speaking of LTO Flash, I wonder if Joe (Creator of LTO Flash) was the FPGA engineer William was talking about during the interview for the FPGA console project.

This thread existing in this sub forum does not prevent you to continue to discuss about the original Intellivision console or games. People like myself also like to discuss new things that are also related to playing old INTV games, which these two projects "were" going to be. I still love playing original INTV games, but I use a MiSTer for my INTV needs now. Look I get it, the Amico tarnished and left a bad smell on this sub forum for you and you don't want to see that happen again with other questionable projects IE is in some way tied to. Totally understand that, but if we just look at the projects themselves they are retro inspired devices with the main goal of playing original INTV games, which by every definition would be considered relevant to this sub. The Amico being moved to the modern section made sense because playing original INTV games was not its primary goal/function.

Some cross talk is relevant given the circumstances and the fact IE is still going to be connected in some ways to any future Intellivision hardware projects, even if produced by a different company.

To me a modern console by definition plays modern games. An FPGA clone console uses modern hardware to play classic games, so it would be 100% relevant for classic INTV talk as it is related to retro gaming. I'm pretty sure the Colecovision Phoenix was not considered off topic in the Colecovision sub forum, so why treat this any different? It just looks like to me you don't like any discussion about anything related to Intellivision that results in highly critical takes. Nobody is forcing you to read these types of threads/posts.
