  1. Qm Tech FPGA Questions / Suggestions

    Hello thanks for this appreciated insight. I've watched several reviews for both the Bitkit and Mister. Not one ever mentioned the attention to detail applied by the bitkit devs. TBH its going to come down to availability. There is no ETA afaik when Mister's will become avail again. The clones...

    Friend is going to let me borrow his bitkit. So I'll be giving that a go soon. But I may be seriously interested in another FPGA like the QM tech. I really really want to play gyruss. But finding a cab isnt easy. So I might purchase a project cab and slap something together so I can play Gyruss...

    I could be wrong here. But I think those Mister Clones aren't using a De10 Nano . The Mister Pi and Qm Tech , etc are using something very comparable but not actually a De10 Nano?

    Yes I was absolutely drooling over the MisterCade. But its sold out and much more expensive. Expense isn't really the deal breaker but there's nowhere to get one. I thought I learned the bitkit lacks the horsepower of a MisterCade. And I'd like the option of possibly repurposing the FPGA and I...

    Im absolutely interested in an FPGA and the Bitkit is the most likely choice. Although there is another FPGA by QM Tech Im considering. Since the Bitkit is jamma ready it seems to be the most practical choice. Im probably going to start playing a 6-10 hours per week like I was before my 1st...

    Re I don't disagree, But my options were ebay and FB market place. I did check Arcade Flea Market on FB...With the exception of 1 special offer from an ebay seller...everything was 400+. Seller offered to drop it to 325 but failed to answer a question about some video artifacts seen in the...

    No doubt. But I do play Galaga a lot. One board set is out for repairs forcing me to pay over 400 for a new set. I'd like to keep the mileage down on my working OG boards. I'll swap in the FPGA to practice and play casually with. My OG boards will be used for record attempts and for special...

    Yes Im also strongly considering a BitKit 2. While I could be wrong. the impression I get is the bitkit 2 might be lacking horsepower if I ever decide to repurpose it . If I end up going with the Bitkit, I'll still need Mikes Jamma Adaptor which seems pretty straight forward. Initially I was...

    I have an OG Galaga Cab -Non Jamma. Im seriously considering a QM Tech FPGA for mostly Galaga Emulation. The idea is to spare my OG Galaga boards from the wear n tare of daily use. So the standard QM Tech FPGA kit only comes with VGA output. But I found they make a Qmtech FPGA to jamma Adaptor...
  10. RETR0 Custom reproduction chips are now available

    Hello again. I just thought of something. Since a lot of those wonderful chips are sold out. Would there be a way someone like myself could have a few made by PCBway in such a manner as to protect your intellectual property and perhaps see to it you're compensated for the reproduction? I dunno...

  15. Galaga Garbled Sounds -Boom Sounds OK

    Well for now I've thrown in the towel. Of course b/c my issues arent resolved but motivated b/c I love to play at least a few hours a week and dislike the inactivity. Probably a major oversight on my part blindly believing I could put 100's if not 1000's of hours on that board and expect it to...

    Wow this is just wild. So lemme address the piggy backing thing. I posted that I read a blog regarding a Galaga PCB repair and the writer mentioned he "piggy backed" a chip. I Never said I would do this (admittedly at the time I was considering it as a means to test without de soldering) and it...

    I absolutely did my friend. and this pic is what I found. GG-2 Prom was my staring point. I believe I mentioned this in my 1st post. Finding out what comprises this prom is where I got off the path. So I try other options in an attempt to track down the chip and any such requirements in the...
