_NetNomad , to retrogaming in RM 800XL - a new incarnation of popular 8-bit computer from 1983

this thing looks super slick. FPGA microcomputer clones have been around forever but they're often just boxes with PS/2 keyboard ports. it's always nice to see someone go the extra mile and recreate the original form factor. computers were meant to be wedge-shaped, damnit!

So this is a MISTer-style FPGA device hardwired to emulate an Atari 800, with an RISC CPU (presumably ARM) supervising it? I wonder how hard it will be to get it to run other systems of a similar calibre (say, C64 or ZX Spectrum, or for that matter, arcade boards)

Why?

Awesome.

I’ve no idea why, but the Polish could make the 800-series sing. An entire generation of bedroom coders getting their games onto top tier labels like Zeppelin, Mastertronic etc.

Janusz Pelc springs to mind, he (she?) seemed incapable of writing a bad game, super talented.

It fills me with hope that this RM800 will do well.

He; IIRC, “Janusz” is Polish for “Jonathan”

Brilliant, thank you - that’s really interesting and appreciated.

I still remember typing JPELC at the Mission: Shark title screen to toggle cheats.
