natami-amigaclone NatAmi or "Native Amiga" is the second FPGA-based Amiga clone to be announced (after Minimig) .

The purpose of the project is to recreate a "smart and reliable computer which can... compete with current established systems." The developer aims to achieve the goal by implementing all of the features documented in the Amiga Hardware Reference Manuals.

A working prototype has been showed at MeKa 2008 - Amiga party recently held in Germany (on Amigaworld.net a complete report).

This board emulates ECS graphic and sound as well as AGA (chipset of '92 Amiga 1200 / 4000) with 256/4096/256000 colours based on 24 palette. Emulation of the full chip custom range is provided with Paula audio chip, CIA, a 32bit blitter and Copper.

The prototype showed ran some programs and games such as Boulder Dash, a Voxeldemo, a copperdemo, some famous Amiga hits (BattleChess e Defender of the Crown) as well as some tool (DOpus and SysInfo) emulated on a Workbench 3.x environment and some .MOD audio played on a original traker program.

Here below the board characteristics

even if a prototype based on CPU 68060, Coldfire CPU and also PPC (able probably to run also AmigaOS4) and with 16 million colour graphic and 16 bit audio is schedule.
