QPokey - The Quad Pokey Replacement - for Atari Major Havoc - Shupac - Hot Rod Arcade
Excited to announce the release of this! Many props to Shupac for seeing this project through after lots of work over the last year. This is his brainchild and he's done a great job!
Not a moment too soon and possibly a moment too late… The new QPokey is an FPGA-based replacement for the unobtainable Atari Quad Pokey chip or the alternative of four POKEY chips plus a Quad POKEY Eliminator board. Original POKEYs are getting increasingly expensive and harder to find and, since the newest POKEYs are now 33 years old, the reliability of original chips becomes more problematic with each passing year.
The QPokey is guaranteed to work and sound just like an original Quad POKEY when plugged into a Major Havoc board. It is not yet guaranteed for use in Return of the Jedi, I Robot, or Firefox, but we hope to be able very shortly to confirm compatibility with those games. We do test each one in an original Major Havoc before making them available for purchase.
