@smashboy2000 nice, thanks! I didn't mean to be cynical, I'd love to play PSX and N64 on FPGA.
Haven't been following the scene properly but I always got the impression that the N64 was "too hard"?
As in, emulating behaviour is one thing but once you try to reproduce actual hardware this complicated, you'd need exponentially more power and time?
On a tangent, I picked up a raspberry pi 4 for xmas with the hope of turning it into an N64 box via retropie. All hopes were soon dashed when I discovered that it can only emulate at about half speed and the audio is excruciating. If a mature system such as retropie can't get N64 running then I wouldn't hold out much hope for random Chinese boxes such as this. Of course the ideal machine would be the Switch but Nintendo keep holding out on N64 games there...
When I was a lad my favourite Australian football team's iconic jumper had only one logo on it: "Speed Kills" from the government agency trying to prevent traffic accidents. I always thought it was ironic because they were the fastest team in the league.
Bennett Foddy didn't make VVVVVV. That was Terry Cavanagh. I highly doubt he made Ape Out as well - he's the QWOP guy; the Getting Over It guy.
That crank though... I first thought it would be some gimmick where it's the only way to charge the battery. Hence you really have to make a "play date" with yourself and commit to it.
Not sure whether I'm disappointed or relieved now...
Edit: so I bought Ape Out on the weekend and I have to admit I was wrong about that one - Bennett Foddy is listed in the opening credits. Don't give him Terry Cavanagh's stuff though!

Re: Hardware Review: MiSTer FPGA - A Tantalising Glimpse Into The Future Of Retro Gaming
Wake me up when it can play N64 and PSX games. At this point I can pretty much play SNES and NES games on my toaster.

And then there's Hyperdimension Neptunia of course

Why is there not a single screenshot of killer instinct in this article, aside from the 2013 one?

Re: Gallery: Flicking Through Sega Master System: A Visual Compendium
Before N64 rocked my world, I was all about Psycho Fox on the Master System. There was just something about it that was mysterious and awesome.
