They said it couldn't be done but, looking at this core so far id have to disagree
00:10 Astal
04:04 Sonic R
06:52 Virtua Racing
09:32 Croc
12:48 Batman Forever
18:36 Center Ring Boxing
21:21 Radiant Silvergun
Sonic R, Croc, Astal, Center Ring Boxing and Virtua Racing look almost perfect but have issues with some sound effects not playing or sounding a bit scratchy, same goes for Batman Forever and Radiant Silvergun although they fair a bit worse. Still an amazing achievement and things can only get better from here  |

It's looking good all right. How far it progresses remains to be seen as it must be getting close to the limits of the underlying chip. Who knows what the next gen chip will be able to achieve.

Ive heard people like Smoke Monster say that N64 would probably be the limit of the de10 nano, and it would take someone with god like skills to pull that off. Here's hoping. |

Yeah I doubt Saturn will ever be super accurate (PSX core isn't totally accurate especially regards sound but accurate enough for most people) but yeah a really great achievement.

Seems like the more of the Altera Cyclone 5 you use the hotter it gets, if they ever did achieve a perfect Saturn core I wouldn't be surprised if it needed some serious cooling.

Watched a YT video yesterday and you can recreate PC running Windows 95 on it. It's truly impressive technology. Gate arrays have been around for a long time (I configured primitive chips like this when I did my Computer Science degree in the late 80s) but the performance and scale of the tech today is mind blowing. I can see it being used in business at some point in the future to enable mission critical legacy IT systems to keep running. |
