Announcing the First Fully Functional CCPU on an FPGA

Hey Pat,

Great timing, and thanks for asking.

Are you going to Califronia Extreme this week?

If so, you can come see a (hopefully running :) prototype of the new board, out on the floor in the Tailgunner II.

See the bottom of this thread: http://www.caextreme.org/forum/index.php?topic=586.msg1039#msg1039

If people are building new cabinets, then they'll be happy to know that the new board will be able to drive G05/6100 style monitors, making it a lot easier to find a monitor for your new cabinet.

Thanks,
-Mark "

So did anyone see this at CAX?
If so,what games did it have?
 
Yes, I have several pictures of it. It does exist. Too bad I never saw Mark to talk to him about it, and I went back to it constantly throughout Saturday, oh well.

It was working all day Saturday in a Tailgunner 2 cab, can't say about Sunday as I was not there. I did not see any of the other games it can run. It appeared to play well, but I had some questions.

It was a much larger board than I thought it would be. I was expecting to see a plug in daughter board arrangement, but it was a complete replacement board with some super cool alphanumeric register displays going all the time.

I don't want to steal Marks thunder about the board so hopefully he'll chime in and let us know his plans for the board.

I have some pictures of it I can post if wanted.

Well just knowing it was their and working is encouraging. I hope Mark will share some more info with us on this project soon.
Thanks
 
I loaned Mark a phillips before I knew who he was and what he was working on. It was mid-Saturday before I noticed his board.

I would guess that's a demo specific board of some sort. A buddy of mine explained he didn't need to make that board nearly a big as he did considering the components he used.

i personally cant wait for this board to be ready, i have a SQ that is in need of repair, and this might just be the ticket.
 
Great thread to bump! I played that Tailgunner about 20 times, trying to take the high score. Really, really fun game. It would be great to see more Cinematronics/ Vectorbeam games up and running.
