So we all know that Katsukity's Capture Card is pretty rare. How hard would it be to reverse it? I've managed to find the following information, though I'm sure this was probably already known:
There are two chips on the capture card. There is a Xilinx XC3S50A FPGA (might be this one) and (what looks to be) a CY7C68013A-56 (maybe this one) (which I suppose fits the I/O Controller chip merki.net describes). The other components are some capacitors, a flexible PCB which according to this manual is to be cut with a pair of scissors, and wires. I figure that the FPGA and I/O Controller have some firmware on them. Would it be possible to dump the chips from an existing Katsukity card and make an aftermarket card? If not I suppose a moderator could close this.
