I understand that at this point the hdl is only for simulation but could someone at one point run a full gb on an fpga?

- idonotknowwhy 4y agoYep, we already do. This is cycle accurate https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Gameboy_MiSTer https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Gameboy_MiSTer Edit: We can also do GBA and a lot of other cores, all the way up to Playstation 1.
- tinco 4y agoCould you explain a bit how your project is different from the one in the article? Why did they implement the SM83 in HDL when you already have such an implementation? Also, I don't see any specific FPGA's mentioned, what sort of constraints do these projects have? Does it run on a 3$ one, or do you need something bigger /fancier? Edit: oh sorry didn't realize MIST is the device, it's an Altera Cyclone EP3C25

- Cthulhu_ 4y agoI still have that one on my wishlist, there's so much good stuff on the original Gameboy systems that I never could play - our birthday budgets didn't stretch nearly far enough.
- jbarberu 4y agoThere are already products doing just that, the Analogue Pocket comes to mind (https://www.analogue.co/pocket https://www.analogue.co/pocket)
- aappleby 4y agoGateBoy will eventually do that for the whole reverse-engineered die.
