Revision as of 22:48, 12 February 2008
Several Amiga clones/remakes are in the works. Each with a slightly different aim, some for total compatibility, some to be faster and offer more features. Hopefully someday whe'll be able to also document which differences these make to coders. (probably especially to interest for 680x0 / hardware hitting coders)
A list of Amiga computer clones/remakes:
- Minimig
Minimig is an FPGA-based re-implementation of the original Amiga 500 hardware (PAL version). It's based on available hardware documentation and info from WinUAE(?). The project was made public on 5 december 2005 and has gone opensource in july 2007.
- NatAmiga (Native Amiga)
Based on the features documented and described in the HRM. ... After that, certain extensions will be made for an up-to-date multimedia-system. Great care will be taken to implement them in true amiga-style.
The basic chip-core design is already done. Running in full 32-bit (copper/blitter playfields).
- Clone-A
project started oct 2005, made public in december 2006
This project aim to totally reproduce the output of the Denise, Gary, Paula chips, CIA and later even the Agnus chip. This means you could run an Amiga on partly the original chips and part on the FPGA.
