I've just realized that using FPGA for such products is economically sane. I thought before that when they use FPGA for specific end products, that's because of military-like expectation to be able to change everything, or because of lacking effort and aiming for fans.

Yeah, it's cheaper than fabricating new chip sets, and more accurate than emulation. You can also reprogram them if bugs are found, or you want it to pretend to be a completely different machine. They are ace!

I've been eyeing the new c64..I wonder how it compares to my vcs. They all seem to have the same general build philosophy.
