A promising work in progress.
It’s fair to say that FPGA hardware has revolutionised the way we play retro games. By replicating the performance of classic platforms on a hardware rather than software level, FPGA allows for a higher degree of accuracy and the lowest latency possible – two things that retro gaming purists value.
FPGA consoles like the Super Nt allow SNES fans to play their original cartridges with the benefit of FPGA accuracy, while the FPGA-based MiSTer and Analogue Pocket both offer SNES support. However, smaller devices – like the SNES Classic Edition – use software-based emulation and, therefore, aren’t seen as quite as faithful by hardcore players.
