Although the 4+ emulates a "68080" Motorola chip at 160 MIPS, which is several times faster than the fastest Amiga (even those with PPC upgrades). Closed source I believe. Also, it demonstrates possibilities as the price of FPGAs comes down. If/when Mister gets a new FPGA platform, the sky is the limit. PS I think I've seen helpful advice from you on vcfed.com that may be many years old. Thanks man!

While the FX Cast is promising, it has several issues that do not encourage me to go out of my way to try it. It's closed source, does not support standard definition displays and may have trouble with VGA CRTs and its support for copy-protected floppy images is limited to a single format and I am unsure how available images for that format are.Great Hierophanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409413307024477304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-45059126088207068752020-04-01T17:54:25.662-04:002020-04-01T17:54:25.662-04:00Hi

...That was an amazingly detailed review, thank-you!<br /><br />This looks like an amazing solution, but, IMHO, it is "not ready for prime time". I am someone who favours a turnkey solution so I can play the game and not spend time searching for ROMs, editing configuration files, or (worse!) actually building hardware.<br /><br />I use an NES emulator (I have no idea what version, just that it is old), and I have all of the commercial arcade and classic console releases for the PS 2 (Genesis, Atari, Intellivision, Midway, Taito, Neo Geo, etc.). With a very few limited exceptions (e.g. Moon Patrol, Berserk), this combination meets all of my retrogaming needs.<br /><br />I have no nostalgia for the MSX or Gameboy systems, so I do not feel a loss that I cannot play them in emulation. I have no doubt that there are some truly amazing games that I will not get to play due to my choices, but I presently have enough content to keep me fully occupied for several decades.
