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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

NES86 is also difficult to run even on modern NES emulators for PC and other platforms. The few compatible emulators include FCEUX, Mesen2, Rustico, and the FPGA-based EverDrive N8 Pro cartridge.
