::

With the help of Chris Desp’s NB-Emu and Mame/Mess code, plus the schematics and documentation we have collected from NewBrain, Shaeon [a member of RW-fpga dev Team] embarked on the adventure and we finally have a working NewBrain core.

The core was developed on the Calypso board, later ported to Poseidon, SiDi, and Senhor boards. Except for Calypso, which is a cyc-1000, the rest are Altera Cyclone IV and V.

It’s currently running on four different FPGAs and loading audio. It has a TZX, BAS, and BIN file loader. It can be configured with up to 2 MB of RAM, the COP420 can be used in emulated or real mode, and it already has almost everything needed to get the expansion and disk drives up and running.

From minute 56.

Will update with all information, git, binaries and all of this.
Thank You
Regards
