    Bitte melde dich an, um diesen Link zu sehen. we would love to be able to offer separate ICs, and as ASICs instead of FPGAs. However, the cost to do that these days is completely insane. I would estimate a cost of about 10 million US dollars to do that.

    We have thought about crowd funding, and will likely do something at the right moment. There are a few things we want to get settled, first, however.

    In terms of patents, that is no problem, as the C64 and C128 are more than 20 years old. Copyright of ROMs is a different story, and we will be arranging something for that.

    It has been a VERY busy patch for most of us lately. Work is continuing in the background as fast as we are able. Hopefully we will have some visible updates on the blog soon.

    We still have no firm idea of what the final price will be. We will naturally tell people when we have an idea of this. Major unknowns include the final cost of getting the injection-moulding tools made, and the cost of the PCB and components. We are steadily working our way through these things, of course.

    We are continuing to work on it :)

    The reality is that we are a bunch of volunteers working in our spare time, which is limited.

    Volunteers helping out with some tasks would be a great help, as would further donations that can allow us to spend less time worrying about how we might do some task, rather than just paying to get it done.

    Right now, I am working on adding support for 6502 illegal-opcodes, which is quite important.

    I'm also finally finding some time to stick my head in here in the forums, to answer some of your questions ;)

    Paul.
