GottFA80 - a Gottlieb System80 MPU based on a low cost FPGA
This is a 1:1 functional replacement to a original Gottlieb System80/System80B MPU, without the additional features of a LISY80, but with much faster boot and lower costs.
BOM and CPL provided do include all DIP sockets using the 'hand soldering' service from JLC. Here you only need solder a few parts yourself (see below), purchase the DIP chips and the SD card and place them on the board.
For easy replacement all chips placed at the 'corners' of GottFA80 are in DIP format.
GottFA80 do support ALL SYSTEM80,80A and 80B games!
GottFA80 v1.1 preassembled by JLCPCB
GottFA80 v1.1 completeParts needed
In addition to the preassembled PCB you need the parts from the Reichelt shop cart and a FPGA development board. You can either let JLCPCB build it for you or purchase one on Aliexpress ( e.g. this one FPGA board ) and an 'USB Blaster' for being able to program the FPGA.
For the ICs there are already sockets on the PCB, no soldering needed here.
Note: due to memory limitations of the Cyclone II FPGA if you plan to use GottFA80 with Excalibur, Hot Shots, Big House, Bad Girls, Bonebusters or Night Moves you need to use my Cyclone IV dev board.
Have a look at my FPGA page to select which one you want to use.
Needed parts from the Reichelt shop cart and the CycloneII FPGA board.
Due to copyrigth on Gottlieb roms the SD card does not contain any rom code, but do provide the right struture for GottFA80. Have a look at the user manual to see how you can copy your rom images onto the Sd card.
