Recent projects:

• Amiga 500 for MEGA65 is a port of MiSTer's Minimig core for the MEGA65: a faithful Amiga 500 (OCS, PAL) with a cycle-exact 68000, 512 KB Chip RAM plus the 512 KB A501 "trapdoor" expansion, and ADF disk images that you mount directly from the SD card. It boots Workbench and runs games and demoscene classics. Learn more in the AExp documentation.
• The MiSTer2MEGA65 framework is used to simplify porting MiSTer FPGA cores to the MEGA65. Have a look at this article to learn more about it or watch this YouTube video. MiSTer2MEGA65 is a co-production with MJoergen.
• Commodore 64 for MEGA65 is a port of MiSTer's core for the MEGA65. Experience the Commodore 64 with great accuracy and sublime compatibility on your MEGA65! See it in action in multiple YouTube videos (choose Videos called "MEGA65 C64 Core Demostream" from the playlist). Here is the release trailer of the most recent version 5 of the core. This port is a co-production with MJoergen.
• The website Alternative MEGA65 Cores strives to be a complete list of all available alternative MEGA65 cores including some helpful info of what these cores actually are and how you can use or even create them.
• Game Boy and Game Boy Color for MEGA65 is a port of MiSTer's core for the MEGA65. See it in action on YouTube.
• ZX-Uno @ MEGA65 is a fully fledged ZX Spectrum 48k and 128k running as an FPGA core on the MEGA65. It is a port of the great ZX-Uno. The ZX-Uno @ MEGA65 core is stable and has been released, but nevertheless here is the historic pre-alpha teaser video on YouTube.
• Hybrid analog/digital computing experiment using the analog computer "Model-1" by Analog Paradigm to simulate an inverse pendulum. In parallel, a digital computer executes a digital Reinforcement Learning algorithm that controls the analog computer. Have a look at the GitHub repository. Download the paper on arXiv.org. Our Paper was published in Andrew_Adamatzky's book Handbook of Unconventional Computing in World Scientific Publishing.
• Ray Marching experiments using GPU shaders and inspired by the YouTube channel The Art of Code.
• Playground for Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning and other AI Experiments is a collection of small snippets that I created while learning and uncovering the secrets of ML, RL and "AI".
• HWD Perceptron is a handwritten digits recognizer utilizing a Percetron Neural Network. Try the HTML5/JavaScript frontend for yourself or have a look at the Python backend and other details at the project's HWD-Perceptron GitHub page.
• QNICE-FPGA is a 16-bit computer system build as a fully-fledged system-on-a-chip in VHDL on a FPGA. Try it online here. This project a co-production with vaxman, where I am mainly doing the hardware parts (VHDL, FPGA) and vaxman is mainly responsible the software parts (assembler, emulator, monitor/operating system). QNICE-FPGA is based on vaxman's original QNICE CPU instruction set architecture.
• DM65PIC is the Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) for the MEGA65 retro computer. I did the firmware for doubleflash's custom hardware that supports original Commodore 65 (prototype) keyboards as well as Commodore 64 keyboards. Watch the demo video here.
• TeleBall is an Arduino based retro handheld game console, that features BreakOut (single player) and Tennis for Two (multiplayer via radio). The device is fully custom made, including a 3D printed case and a custom PCB. See it in action in some videos on the project page and learn how to build your own TeleBall.
• BreakOut for DuinoKIT is an Arduino based implementation of this Arcade classic on the convenient prototyping and experimentor platform DuinoKit. Have a look at the source on PasteBin or watch the tutorial on YouTube.
• Tuques is a graphics demo for MS-DOS, inspired by fr29b by ByTeGeiZ. The executable .com file is just super-tiny 141 bytes in size. It was made for FEZ, who crocheted it bitwise into one of his tuques. A tuque is a knit cap. Photos and more information are on his blog fezbook.de. There is also a Video that shows the demo and the crocheting. Download the executable MS-DOS .com including the 80x86 assembler source code here.
• syfluid, a super fancy interactive realtime fluid simulation for gfx fans, VJs and demo coders. Done in C++ and GLSL. Follow this link to see some screenshots and to download the executable for Mac OSX or Windows. Sources are also available.
• CODE RED 4k DEMO: First Adventure Vision homebrew demo ever, which scored 2nd on Revision 2013 party. Crew member of the AdVi DEV Team of MEGA. Watch the intro and explanation video here and watch the video of the demo running on the actual hardware here. We created a whole ecosystem for hacking the Adventure Vision, that includes an emulator for Windows, OSX and Linux as well as the source code of the CODE RED demo.
• OSX port and audio bugfix of JustBurn's Adventure Vision Emulator.
• OSX port and multiplatform release of 0.4.1 of JustBurn's enhanced asm48 based on DaveHo's original version from 2003. In the meantime asm48 (including our improved release 0.4.1) is also avalable on Dave Ho's GitHub.
