Thanks f=F6r sharing Antti!! Have you begun converting it to the XIlinx platform? How much work is it? I just love trying out/collecting new platforms for my Starter-Kit. After a look in the archive its originally for the Altera FPGA's but the standard T80 Is this the same product as the One Chip MSX at:

pmsx.html If so that means that the product builds on open-source, is this OK with the creators of f.e. T80-core? If I were to build/construct a similar old-style platform but would be using these basic building blocks that are downloadable, would this be OK? Can anyone explain the license issues with this type of hardware-constructs?
After doing a quick fix-up (ugly code changes made), it builds to only
54% of my Spartan3-200K. Nice! What I've done so far is to change some syntax for array 'range and 'high that seem to be non-standard but seem to work OK. I've also commented out the altera-specific RAM-instanciations and PLL-usages. These would of course only need to be mapped against BlockRAM and DCM's, is that correct? I need to continue working on a VHDL laboration but it would be nice to see the computer starting up. Please post/CVS changes somewhere if somebody else is better than me on porting from Quartus to ISE. Good luck!
1) yes this is the stuff referenced from bazix.nl
2) yes, it is based on opensource IP's, there archive as "found" had no separate license restrictions applied... so I dont see any issues using the code base
3) if you or anyone wants to contribute, you are welcome to join the project(s) at code.google.com there are all projects tools including code repository (SVN) already available, i think all that is needed is googlemail account (if needed I can send invite)
