Thanks to Gadget for a nice summary of these modules. To add some info: The advanced programming menu unlocks more options when you go to program them. You can partial program a slot which allows you to change part of a mega ROM (like on a Master where OS, BASIC, filesystem etc is in one 128KB mega image). The GPIO control is useful for software development. You can control the RESET of the machine from your makefile so build, hold in reset, program, release reset all in one click on the PC/Mac. 8-bit machines need an adapter - no smarts just a pin-pin adapter. I do have a few of the USB micro boards but not many. They are 5 or 10x for £2 delivered on eBay. Documentation is a work in progress but the menu is pretty self explanatory so have a play. Email me via my website, Gadget's Discord, exxos or stardot forum.
@@GadgetUK164 Yeah Fam is doin okay, wife has a few new issues, but the doc's have been sound and has gotten treatment quickly. We are both fully vaxxed now too! Hope you and yours are doing well too mate, respect :)
I love the fact people are still supporting older systems, I just got my GAMEBOY Original Bivert Chipped, it looks amazing now. Not only that people still making games, it seems mainly for the ATARI but still awesome.
Honestly, I would have just soldered a right angle header on to that... Or a regular header at a right angle (it's not that hard just lay the pins over the pads, it works fine).
Yes, Chris stated the the CPLD where near impossible to obtain. This was the main reason. Very unfortunate, it would have fitted nicely in my new assembled 500++ with chrystal case who was a joy to build btw. Can recommend it as an Amiga fan.
@@TheTurnipKing It´s my understanding that the Spectrum Next is even capable of being configured as e.g. an Amstrad CPC, or a BBC micro, and that these configurations are well under way. I´ll know more about this when i receive my own Next later this year.
Link to the website where you can read about the board and order:- www.boobip.com/hardware/27C400_EMU
The brilliance and amazing engineering going into improving the Amiga this many decades later is simply inconceivable.

What a cracking little device, multi platform and bonus Amiga DiagRom too? Nice. Great job guys.
*cough* Patreon is worth it *cough*
=D Thanks mate! Hope you and the family are doing OK!

This is going on the shopping list. Thanks for the look!
This is very interesting, definitely something i will look further into.
Thanks for posting this video.

This looks basically same product as Keir Frasers Blue pill Kickstart switcher but with the STM32 built into the PCB.. Very neat!
Think that has too be my payday treat 🤔 thanks for sharing this 👍
Just got an Indivision AGA Mk3... and now this is the next thing on my list. 8)
yeah these are gorgeous.. i have 4 of em :D

When do you will get them in stock again?
I don't speak for boobip, but I would assume it could be around summer time this year (2022).
It's been a while, but I'm curious if it would work in a CD32 🙂
Yes, it should do - but from what I understand these aren't available to buy atm. I think due to IC shortages maybe...
sold out atm....but what's the price?
Honestly not sure - the price may change when they are back in stock.
Start tune think it was no second price
It's a darn shame they aren't manufactured anymore :(
They might be if stock levels of the chips return to normal!
Unfortunately he doesn’t make them anymore 😔
=( I guess it might related to the parts being too expensive or hard to obtain atm!

@@dennisraadschelders6821 I don't think he's using a CPLD on this - but an ARM based MCU? It's a while since I looked at it!
Eventually, someone will program FPGAs to emulate the entire machines...
You haven't heard of MiSTer?
(and minimig before that)
Hehe, yes - it has long since been done! The Mister (DE10 Nano) can do this with many systems and arcade boards!
@@GadgetUK164 Heck, you have the Spectrum Next, which is not only a ZX Spectrum on an FPGA, but an ENHANCED ZX Spectrum on an FPGA.
@@TheTurnipKing Pfft, The MiSTer does the Next and the Amiga, plus a whole bunch more :)
@@TheTurnipKing It´s my understanding that the Spectrum Next is even capable of being configured as e.g. an Amstrad CPC, or a BBC micro, and that these configurations are well under way.
