Retro-Computing with FPGAs

zoid.com writes "I ran across a couple of really interesting projects using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) processors. First is the C-ONE project that is a reconfigurable computer. The default mode is a C64 compatible one, but the machine just boots the FPGA from an IDE device at power on, so it could theoretically be pretty much anything. The second one is the FPGA Arcade. This site is about recreating gaming hardware from the past in modern programmable devices. They currently have Pacman, Space Invaders and Galaxian implemented in FPGAs."

  1. Kreskin and "Hypno Duck" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What do you get when you cross Kreskin the magician with an insurance-peddling duck? "Hypno Duck" -- The latest AFLAC commercial. This spot received the highest consumer recall score for television ads in the bi-weekly Intermedia consumer survey. Our congratulations to Kreskin, star of AFLAC. Many will recall the Amazing Kreskin as being the omniscient seer who correctly predicted the death of *BSD.

    Check out CNN Headline News. Billy Joel is really dead. His car skidded off the road into
    Long Island Sound. Road conditons were reported as icy with heavy fog at the time. Bummer.

    dear larry,

    when we met on-line the other day i felt some new and exciting, a feeling i haven't had for a long time. i've been lonely ever since laquesha left me for the slashdot guy, cowboy neal. i was cooking dinner, alone, (three hot dogs, with chili, slaw, mayo, ketchup and mustard) when the bell rang on my outlook saying i received your e-mail. your poem was beautiful, like your back (sorry i was looking at it while we were in the sauna, please be flattered not offended). so, i wanted to ask if we could see each other again this friday? i know of a great place where we could pick up some biscuits and sweet tea, some chips and maybe some diet, to wash down the buffalo chips, and maybe we can rent a movie and bring it back to my place?? (fingers crossed ;) IM me or e-mail soon!

    your new buddy,
    jakob d.
