It’s funny how people talks about FPGA as it was a game changer. FPGA is still emulation, you know.. but via hardware! FPGA is not about accuracy.. it’s about performance only! As any implementation, FPGA is as good as developer is capable of. Software emulation is much more accurate and matured nowadays... and FPGA is just in its infancy. It will get traction over time, maybe.. but FPGA emulation is much harder and prone to error than software emulation.

Too expensive to buy an emulator. At this point, MiSTer FPGA makes much more sense.

Too expensive for an emulated game.

Re: $99 MiSTer FPGA Clone Finally Has A Name, And It Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone
Hahahahaha
Great name. People won’t get confused, because you’re after FPGA, you’ll know where you’re getting into.
Besides, Todd is hurt because he’ll try to release MARS sometime (if).
Mr. Pi was announced and released in a shot time. MARS is lost in time.

Super great news…
After Irem M92 release days ago, this new core will make MiSTer even more wonderful!
