You are of the small mind, aren't you? 1chip motherboards are running the SNES functions at a circuit level and their only intention is to combine video output functions. All FPGA implementations are interpreting each and every function; aka emulation. While it's not software based emulation where it just throws all functions at the CPU and hopes for the best, hardware emulation running on FPGA implementation attempts to operate as accurately as it can to the processor and various chips. Not the real thing, but it's damn close. Analogue's marketing is bait for retards who don't know any better.

>> No.6125270

I'm not sure, but it's probably actually based on the original chip designs, just with smaller transistors and everything combined into one chip. That still counts as real hardware, since it works the same on the circuit level.

The real key damning fact is that most FPGA cores - all the "mainstream console" cores are based off existing cycle accurate software emulators.

It doesn't really matter. Cycle accurate emulation is the goal no matter what you call it and fpgas are able to do it more efficiently, nothing which illustrates it more than a small battery powered form factor - but when it comes to marketing, analogue's target demo believes "emulation baaaaad" so they're stuck in a spot.

But fuck 'em for not releasing all cores on all platforms. I'ma tell the hipsters they're being lied to until I get proper core support.

You don't even know what the fuck FPGA means, do you? Just because it runs on a FPGA instead of a CPU doesn't mean it's not essentially emulation.

Dude, stop, emulation has nothing to do with "throwing functions" at the CPU, except when talking about high-level emulation in later-gen consoles like N64. Emulators operate on individual cpu instructions of the target hardware and change the emulated registers/RAM in whichever way the original CPU would. Some even divide the instructions into more steps if they want to be more accurate. The same goes for graphics, sound and other subsystems.

How those changes from one instruction to the next are computed differs from implementation to implementation and is largely irrelevant as long as the result is accurate in result and timing, but if it's implemented differently than the original chip it's not like original hardware.

I've seen some people that do online streaming express interest in this, if that's your thing, this could be a good device to capture footage from.

Putting aside software emulation. If you want to capture video from a Gameboy, using the Super Gameboy plugged into a SNES is the go to option. For Gameboy Advance there's the Gameboy Player for the Gamecube, but I heard that the video quality on that is not great.

>> No.6143853

I want one, but because it's not cheap I will wait for some of those in-depth video reviews first. I am seeing alot of people say that this product will be shit, what's the basis of that opinion?

This is the first Analogue product to have a screen and to have buttons, it's those features that I would really like someone to weigh in on critically in a review. A lot of the retro controllers being released recently have had issues, how are the buttons are this thing going measure up? Will the button layout feel right for all systems? The think the high resolution for the screen was chosen to allow for integer scaling on all the resolutions from the various hand held systems this thing is going to support. If they get that right, and the screen provides a crystal clear picture, that's going to be pretty sweet.

On the other Analogue products you could play around with different settings, for example you can increase the sprite limit which would help flickering in some games, I could see that improving things in some Game Boy games.

Also known as emulation.

>> No.6149339

No emulation is translating the instructions for one cpu architecture to another. If there's no translation happening it's not emulation. It's just running natively. I think retards on this site don't even know how fpgas work. It's rearranging the transistors on the chip to recreate the original hardware. It's exactly the same as an ASIC chip. The only difference is that they are pre-burned with the core. It's no different than any other clone console. The is a real Z80 in the fpga.

thats still emulation, the hardware is mimicking (EMULATION) the FPGA is emulating the function of the original chip. Emulation has nothing to do with software or programming, an aftermarket car part is emulating the original even if the output is 1:1 and its an exact recreation its still copying it, FPGAs arent even that close to that. Which also means clones are emulation as well.

Honestly, a handheld device is where FPGA meme makes the most sense. Kind of a waste if it's only gameboys but if it gets jailbroken and have SNES, MD etc. cores made for it it could be pretty cool. The cartridge slot is a complete waste of space, though.

They've advertised it as having an extra FPGA which will probably be precisely for that.

Cartridge slot is a waste, yes, but otherwise they'd not be able to give the illusion of this device being used for legitimate purposes.

Likely zero for games that want a GBA with no game in it (wind waker), and minimal for games that talk to a GBA cartridge (Pokemon box) unless the emulator is designed to be able to handle that. The gamecube communicates with the actual hardware in the GBA and this has none of that actual hardware, it's just an emulator box. It also looks like it doesn't have the holes for the hooks on the GBA-GC cable to hook in on either side of the port.

He's wrong, it likely will. FPGA isn't just normal software emulation, so it will probably feature real hardware connectivity. For example, with the Analogue Mega SG you can hook up a real Sega CD through the expansion port and it functions like a real Sega CD. So chances are it will have GameCube connectivity, but we'll soon see.
