Bagman on DE0 Nano

Based on the Stern arcade PCB. This realisation uses the DE0 Nano board.

Some external hardware are needed :

• Video DAC
• Audio DAC
• PS2 Keyboard input

Working on DE2 with no external hardware.

The FPGA contains 1 Z80, 1 AY3-8910 (sound) + 1 TMS5110 (speech synthetizer), 1 Tile generator and 8 sprites.  

Standalone working from the embed EPCS.

Crazy Kong (FALCON) on DE0 Nano

Based on Falcon arcade PCB This realisation uses the DE0 Nano board.

Some external hardware needs to be added :

• SRAM
• Video DAC
• Audio DAC
• PS2 Keyboard input 

Working on DE2 with no external hardware.

The FPGA contains emulated devices : 1 Z80 (processor), 1 AY-3-8910 (sound) + custom sound samples, 1 Tile generator, 8 smalls sprites and 1 big sprite. 

Standalone working from the embed EPCS.

Commodore 64 on DE0 Nano

Based on the FPGA64 vhdl description from Peter Wendrich. This realisation uses the DE0 Nano board which has a large FPGA at low cost.

External hardware have to be added :

• SRAM
• IEC interface
• Video DAC
• Audio DAC
• PS/2 keyboard input

Working on DE2 with no external  hardware (except IEC which requires external IEC hardware).

The IEC bus may be connected to a real commodore floppy drive (1541 ...) or to some replacement (µIEC/SD ...).

The FPGA contains 3 roms : KERNAL, BASIC and CHAR (Jiffydos kernal allow for speeding up the IEC bus) and a VHDL SID6581 emulation.

Standalone working from the embed EPCS.
