Message: [QUOTE="Vardalis, post: 558246, member: 144210"] I'm blaming the transparent blue Super Station One for giving me brainworms about the device, and the whole concept of FPGA emulation. Analogue, MISTer, the Super Station One, they all promise higher accuracy emulation comparable to real hardware, but with the traded convenience software emulation brings, such as shaders, higher resolutions, generally less setup time, etc. I think FPGA devices seem kind of cool, but I'm also a sicko who's fascinated with stuff like the Polymega and other more "console-like" hardware experiences despite the flaws and redundancy. Fascinated enough to buy them? Not often, thankfully. But I enjoy looking at them quite a bit. Do you have an FPGA device? If so, what do you think of it? Is it worth the hassle compared to software emulation? If you don't, share your thoughts too. I think I'm firmly in the camp of "software emulation is good enough for me". Maybe if I had a way to spend time with an FPGA device to see and feel the experience first hand I'd be convinced by the marketing hype, but with the price tags I'd be better off just getting actual hardware (for the consoles I do like since it's mostly Sony stuff) and modding them.
