Retro Gaming News: FPGA PS1 Teased By MiSTer Pi Creator

Before the PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, Taki Udon, creator of the MiSTer Pi FPGA-based console, has unveiled a teaser for a new FPGA system inspired by the original PlayStation. This device aims to emulate games from both this and other systems with exceptional fidelity.

A Device for Retro Gamers' Delight

FPGA Technology: Utilizing Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), this console promises to deliver a level of accuracy not matched by software emulators. FPGAs replicate system performance at a hardware level, offering minimal latency and reduced input lag compared to software emulation.
Compatibility: Apart from its PS1 focus, the new device is designed to play games from other systems as well, standing out against Analogue's range of FPGA console clones. This console will also feature custom support for original accessories like controllers and memory cards.

Do you prefer software emulation, with the ability to play games from more systems on the same device, or FPGA technology providing a more authentic experience?

Agreed. The motivation is profit. That said profit and aping a console's appearance might put this project under the scrutiny of Sony's legal department.
