Lol. Not the same at all. I'm guessing you know nothing about FPGA?

I ordered a couple yesterday. With FPGA Tech you won't have any lag. Emulators have lag. I have been using Emulators since I played C64 games on my Amiga back in the day. I Love Emulators.

With Dedicated FPGA based retro consoles, you put the disk or cart in the machine and Boom, you are playing your Nintendo, (or whatever system), games on your modern TV with Full HDMI support. Using and upscaler can covert a Composite, (or whatever), signal to HDMI, but it has lower picture quality and also introdues lag. (My Favorite Upscalers are the RetroTINK brand. They have very low lag).

The FPGA based systems from Analogue and Polymega are some of the best out there. Much better than an Emulator. (Once again I love emulators).

Emulators are never the same as playing on actual hardware.

True but how much the same does it actually have to be for games beyond a certain age? In an emulator you get save states and no need for extra hardware to take up valuable space. Another benefit of emulators is built in upscaling which is great when it works properly.

I can see the case of 16-bit consoles where TV's simply worked differently but for PSX? Anything else must be nostalgia.... which only affects a minority of people with the majority judging objectively. You can't be nostalgic for feelings you never had.

That just seems really expensive to replicate such ancient hardware specifications. Anyways, they seem to be successful and are selling these, so I am not the target audience. Best of fortunes for everyone involved on both sides of this! The creators and the buyers.

While FPGA recreates the original hardware, as best it can, I doubt you can call it running the games natively, a lot of things are handled by the arm cores.

If you have a fast enough system most games will play fine, it's a small number of games that have issues big enough for anything but hardcore fans to even notice.

It can replicate pretty much anything from computers to exotic consoles to rare arcade boards, it comes with an sd card already set up but without any copyrighted material on it, the ps1 is just the aesthetic they went for for the case.
