There was a delay with the first production run due to shortage of one trivial component. I needed to find and buy that Chinese product in EU, send it back to China so that they can use it for production and send it again to EU. Now I only wait for a Commodore fan from China to order the board ;-) First non-prototype ones are expected beginning of Aug. In the meantime we work on improving the docs.

You can implement software sprites even without it so I take your question is rather whether it helps/speeds up software sprites, right? There is no blitter/compositor in VASYL so it doesn't help much in the generic case. In a limited case though - as long as compositing is not an issue, smart usage of the sequencer can give you inexpensive movable visuals.
