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 ...

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 NES core is courtesy of code by [Brian Bennett], sourced from Github. Games are loaded from an SD card by a Parallax Propeller, which passes the data to the FPGA over a serial connection.

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 ...

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 ...

The company has previously released similar FPGA-based devices emulating the NES, Super Nintendo, classic SEGA consoles, as well as an upcoming device for the Nintendo 64. Analogue is the most ...

cart is a custom creation with a board that’s been upgraded with an ESP8266 wifi chip, a wifi antenna, and an FPGA that allows an unmodified NES console to interface with the wireless hardware.

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 ...
