Joining the efforts will take some time. It is possible, but that's not a trivial question. First of all, the design methodologies should be standardized. After that, agreements can be made. > So, I must say I really agree with Snout here! > As I read in Ikeda's MSX-Print the Japanese people who built the TMS9918 > already tried to contact people from Brazil to cooperate, and I think it > would be nice if that offer would be accepted! The main problem here is that Japanese people had contacted us too late, because our VDP is in progress, I guess it is 40% done. So, in my point of view, a MSX1 VDP VHDL code, right now, is not a good deal. > Well, in any case, keep up the good work, and keep us updated!

Usually I don't post info about the development because, sometimes, the predicted development time doesn't match with the real, and this can seem to be some kind of "vaporware". For avoiding this, I prefer to talk less and produce more. But, if someone ask me how is our "chip-replacement" project, sure I will answer with the real project state. For example, the PSG was remade in 2 months, but the VDP, which is not ready, I am working for more than 8 months.
