A ReAgnus MegaAChip PCB that takes a Gowin FPGA with embedded PSRAM, a PLCC-84 plug and FET level shifters.
THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS, HARDWARE IS VERIFIED WORKING. FIRMWARE YET TO BE DEVELOPED. BUILD AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Select one of the crystals 28.375 MHz (PAL) or 28.6363 MHz for the optional onboard oscillator circuit. Probably you want to select PAL/NTSC opposite to what your CLK on motherboard has, this in order to be able to switch between native PAL/NTSC with only a JP-setting on the MegaChip board.
