   In case it's helpful to anyone, MiSTer is a project[0] that recreates classic computers and video game consoles on hardware.

   What do I mean by hardware?

   Rather than emulating the device in software, which can cause various issues (especially related to timing), by mapping the actual device logic to a field programmable gate array (FPGA), you can achieve an "exact" replica of the hardware.

   It's a super cool project, and I highly recommend checking it out if you have an interest in old machines (Apple II, Commodore 64, etc.).

      Damn there is a whole ecosystem around that, e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ultimatemister.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ultimatemister.com to buy it all built, very neat.

         Check out the Superstation One [0]. Outer shell modelled after the original PS1. Optional optical disk dock. Simplified UI. Lots of outputs. Well priced.

         (Don&#x27;t mind the strange characters in the URL above. That&#x27;s a superscripted &quot;one&quot;. Use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retroremake.co&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;retroremake.co&#x2F; if you feel better about that).

            Super cool! To be honest I&#x27;m not into emulation&#x2F;retrogaming so much (even though I do have a Pimoroni Picade) but the fact that this exist as a production is very inspiring, thanks for sharing.
