Everybody needs an all-consuming hobby during COVID-19 and mine is the MiSTer
FPGA gaming thing. It's like a RetroPie but 5x as expensive.
It's built around an Intel DE10-Nano FPGA development kit - they're
subsidized because they're aimed at the education market. This is what people
use to design and simulate microprocessors.
Because of how it works, emulation can be more accurate than traditional
software-based, especially with regards to timing. The big sell for me is how
seamlessly it works on CRT monitors like my Trinitron I basically
trash-picked.
A friend gave me an old, gutted arcade cabinet and I plan on throwing my
MiSTer into it and having a Neo-Geo + CPS-2 arcade cabinet to call my own.
... All I need is a Wave and a board to surf it on.
