For sure, if he releases it as open source, and gives us permission, it will be fun to run up.
iirc there is already a port to MiST - so the source must be around somewhere

Looks like GPL
Thanks. GPL3 so compatible with our core lib.
I've created a folder and checked in the ted.v file. It will be pretty simple to get it up and running with the Replay DRAM and support libs.
(I'm working on Scramble/Frogger on my night off this week though)
Awesome. Hopefully a new machine soon :-)
Hi,
As the author of the core I recommend to check out the link at https://github.com/ishe/plus4
I know that Mist has adapted my core but they have modified the memory write cycle timing so their version is not cycle exact. On the above link my plus4 implementation has a much better sdram driver with address extension capabilities. I recommend to use this!
Also the plus4 code uses the onboard SPI flash for storing ROM images.
The MiSt team has done however some useful bugfixing which I also recommend to check in the source code (the ones I have verified I have already integrated to the core).
Hi Istvan and welcome. Looks great.
I've looked at the TED schematics for years but never found the time or enthusiasm to work on it.
I would love to include your core in our ecosystem if that's ok.
btw you are more than welcome to join us on the slack group.
