We got home from Sommarhack on Sunday evening. It was an awesome party as always, with its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings close to Dalälven. The weather turned out to be much better than predicted too.
The usual people were there plus some new faces that we had only seen at Outline before. Great to see you all again! :)

While at the party we worked on our different parts of the SuperVidel project:
Pep worked on his drivers, Henrik on a GUI FW update program, and Torbjörn on a rewrite of some of the VHDL code to get a much faster blitter and 060 read/write accesses.

We recently arrived to Sommarhack 2012 with Pep. All the usual people are here. The weather is not as good as the last two years, but who cares when you're indoors coding.. :P

The SuperVidel prepayment period has taken a lot longer than we had hoped. But now we're very close to 80 paid boards which we guess is a level that is possible to produce. We just have to ask the manufacturer for a last quote since we no longer will make 107 boards and the USD has been very turbulent the last month or so. Almost all components are USD based, but we have to pay the manufacturer in SEK. If the quote is OK we should be able to start the production immediately. But then we still have to wait for the lead time of the components of up to 9 weeks, and the 3 weeks vacation time of the manufacturing company. Hopefully they coincide.

Just wanted to say that my ADSL-modem went crazy after a thunderstorm yesterday. It's now up and running again, so that you may access our server again.

Just uploaded another SuperVidel demo video to youtube:

It shows parallax scrolling in 640x480 8bit chunky mode using the blitter.

Just added the "SuperVidel installation manual, rev1" to the Downloads page. :) It describes how to install the SuperVidel into some different types of cases. But it doesn't cover the Svethlana and Extender installations. They will appear in other installation manuals.
