I imagine FPGAs would be a great way forward for retro computing, just like it is for retro gaming.

- bitwize 1y agoRetrocomputing and retrogaming are going to get a boost from a hybrid approach: using uC boards like the Raspberry Pi Pico to emulate each individual component. You get timing accuracy that's close to FPGA, but at $5 a pop, the components are cheaper than an FPGA board would cost. The Connomore 64 is an example of a complete system built this way. I'm sure Mac, Amiga, and Atari ST clones will be incoming. https://github.com/c1570/Connomore64 https://github.com/c1570/Connomore64
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoFPGAs hold a lot of promise, but as I understand have limits on performance and can be on the power hungry side which can preclude some later CPUs and make portable form factors impractical.
