The new system will instead use a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) to directly simulate the workings of those NES chips. This decision comes with its own pros on cons. In the pro column ...

Luckily for us, [Ludde] was a bit listless over Christmas, and with more time than energy to burn, implemented a Nintendo Entertainment System on an FPGA dev board. The NES was powered by a Ricoh ...

With the ubiquity of NES emulators on every device known to man you probably won’t be replicating this unless you want a reason to play with a FPGA. What interests us is the hardware solution ...

Instead, the AVS is the first NES clone built with a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) at its heart. Rather than emulating the NES' workings through software (or specially manufactured cloned ...

The Spartan Mini FPGA handheld NES has been created by Jon Thomasson who explains that he’s “been a fan of the original NES from childhood. To me it was a magical system, which captured my ...

No repurposed silicon. No cannibalized parts. Like the RetroUSB AVS, the Analogue uses a customized FPGA processor to perfectly recreate the NES's functionality, even to a fault. If a game ...

Horton wasn't merely content with engineering one of the most accurate NES clones in existence - he also wanted to fully exploit the unique nature of the system's FPGA-based internals. As a result ...

In many ways, FPGA is the future of maintaining retro hardware as it uses an integrated circuit created to perfectly mimic a different piece of hardware. Both consoles focus on refining the NES ...

In this case, Analogue opted for the the Altera Cyclone V FPGA, which has been programmed to behave exactly like an NES. Among game collectors and historians, there's always the fear that playing ...

you can now play NES games on your Analogue Pocket. This tiny little handheld device can already play a number of retro handheld games with FPGA accuracy, and now you can add the 8-bit Nintendo ...

Another benefit to an FPGA-based console is the ability to play ... Tournament Fighters for the NES, or Virtua Fighter 2 for the Genesis. Bedroom coders involved in demakes often seek to create ...

The Analogue Nt mini is in some ways the opposite of what you’d expect from an attempt to replicate the experience of playing a 1980s-era 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. For starters, it ...
