Happy New Year, FPGA, gp2x wiz, etc.

Happy New Year everyone!

What's been going on around here?  Haven't been around much lately.  Started messing around with FPGA programming at home with the goal to hopefully work on helping to get more games running accurately.  Who knows if I'll get anywhere with it.  The Pac-Man example here is very nice:

Also, my wife surprised me with a gp2x wiz handheld for xmas!!  Very very nice stuff. . wish the dpad were better.  Apparently there is a mod to make it better. . maybe I'll try to do that.  It seems to prefer diagonals over the cardinal directions.  Really makes 4-way games hard to play and makes me always move diagonally in Robotron. :)  The oled screen is REALLY nice on it!

I haven't been getting many emails about new topics.  Is there something different in the behavior now?
