The team behind the SuperSega FPGA console has recently demonstrated its innovative work, showcasing the Dreamcast core. In a captivating video available at this link, they’ve featured games such as Crazy Taxi, Gunbird 2 and Super Street Fighter II running well.
Developed using the Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA chip, this core boasts an impressive capability of having “100K-200K logic cells” to emulate Dreamcast behavior. The console can also play Master System, Mega Drive/Genesis, Saturn, and Sega CD games. It’s expected to be completed later this year, promising to offer a one-stop solution for gamers looking to experience classic Sega titles.
What are your thoughts on the development and potential impact of using FPGA in gaming consoles like SuperSega?
This very cool. I wonder when will we see community settling on some new standardized FPGA platform since Mister and Analogue Pocket have their obvious limitations. I’m only familiar with Analogue side of things but Analogue 64 seems promising.
