Yes, he worked with MikeJ from fpgaarcade.com apparently and the core is 
pretty complete IIUC.

I had a very quick go at hooking it up to a preliminary implementation of an 
arcade game called "Cabal" - quite possibly the simplest 68k-based arcade 
machine in existence. My first attempt was some time ago before the latest 
release - when Wolfgang told me I was better off waiting for 2K7A. The 2nd 
attempt was shortly after the new release - it didn't work 1st go and I 
haven't looked at it again since. It's quite possible the problem is in my 
implementation and not the core...

I'd never heard of the MM/1 before a few months ago, when I saw mention of 
it on this mailing list. The implementation would be almost trivial once we 
have a working 68k core - except for the graphics chip by the looks of it... 
interesting... if only there were 30hrs in a day... :(
