  • This basically sounds too good to be true. Making an FPGA core for 1 console is already a challenge, but making a new console that uses multiple cores and plays hundreds of games perfectly? Not gonna be easy.

    Especially since they also want to add many more hardware features. The disc drive in particular stands out. I really wonder how they are planning to make all of this work. It’s like they want to recreate the hardware accurately but also add features.

    Will the FPGA core be less accurate because of this? Or will it emulate the real hardware perfectly with these extra features added by another chip? Probably the latter, but I’m really looking forward how this is gonna work out nonetheless.

    Definitely an interesting project.














  • Often times, yes. Doesn’t mean that OP has to get one of the very old models. I was thinking of one from the last few years. The reason to go with an office pc is simply that you get a good starting point for a pc, so it’s probably cheaper than a full custom build, even if the pc isn’t that old yet. Though I also didn’t look at current prices either.
