FPGA replacement for the VIC-II.



Considering I just bought 10 NOS NTSC VIC-II chips, yes I’m interested.

I’ve been following that project for some time but it seems to be On hold for months and counting due to chip shortage. Is it being resumed at some point soon?


He's constantly working on it. We both quit our Google jobs back in January (on the same day) and frankly, the VIC is how he seems to be spending most of his time since.

The problem remains chip shortages. He had to rework the board a couple times because of lack of FPGA supply.

I've seen his latest boards and they are impressive.
