I agree. It’s illogical but it works better. I’ll demo on stream.

Re: The TF536 arrives
Current status with this board is: On hold indefinitely.
I'm going to post @alenppc back the board he sent me so he can enjoy the one he built. I've had too much negative feedback about the IDE interface lately to continue doing A500 development. I guess my man in the middle INT2 stunt didnt really work well.

Re: The TF536 arrives
I thought that the INT2 stunt worked well for the absolute majority of users? Or maybe I only skimmed the thread and missed it. Sorry to see the card getting shelved, but I guess a hobby should be fun so whatchagonnado.terriblefire wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 10:48 pm Current status with this board is: On hold indefinitely.

A kludge is a workaround or quick-and-dirty solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend and hard to maintain.

Re: The TF536 arrives
I think it does well enough personally but the feedback is that people want long to use long IDE cables and the performance isnt good enough. A return to the old 40 pin connector that everyone petitioned me to drop has also been requested. This doesnt fit with what I want to support.
The TF536 will be back at some point but to be frank... there are plenty of A500 options out there now and I can spend my time more productively looking at how to produce CD32/A1200/A4000 accelerators. The only motivation i had with the A500 was to make the cheapest possible card so that the low end user can enjoy a great gaming experience. The features requested are not low end and there are other cards that do the job just as well already out there. I want to be adding something different rather than a "me too" option.

Re: The TF536 arrives
Thanks for the update TF.
At the end of the day, it's your project, you make it what youd like, stuff the complainers.

Re: The TF536 arrives
Would you consider releasing tf536 on different licence (no commercial use). Just for people who are going to build it themselves without support obviously?terriblefire wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 10:48 pm Current status with this board is: On hold indefinitely.

Re: The TF536 arrives
I did that with the TF534 and I had people come onto this forum this week and accused me of screwing them over, making a quick buck (LOL) and not supporting them. I'm not going to do that again.arkadiusz.makarenko wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 10:22 am Would you consider releasing tf536 on different licence (no commercial use).

EDIT: the irony is that people accused me of being spiteful for not releasing the TF534 before. I simply cant win.

I would kindly ask to reconsider your decision in the future.

Re: The TF536 arrives
In all honesty... I dont want this to be work. I dont want the money. I have a job... i do fine. Thats actually why i've tried to make these cheap as chips.
When people come and demand that i do things for them because they arent happy I will shut that thing down. Especially when people get snarky at me. I do this for fun. You can share if you want. So right at the moment I cant see myself coming back to the A500. But that might change.
