From the editor
Yeah my weekly is starting to look more like roughly 8-9 days at this point. I need to get more efficient with my note-taking and news-hunting!
Big story this issue is something seemingly innocuous but it speaks to an ongoing discussion in the retro gaming community. If FPGA boards start running emulation on the microcontroller rather than hardware recreation in silicon, does that matter?
Perhaps with the MiSTer multisystem and/or handheld from Heber/RC (featured last week), you won’t need another device?
Purists say original hardware only, but I think most people understand that is unrealistic as a general rule. FPGA is supposed to be the closest to original, but is that only the case when the hardware does the heavy lifting and not the code?
Would be interested in your thoughts on this!
