Wow now that is neat! I am about order a Spartan 3e board. Pretty excited. Could likely implement the hardware inside an Apple II and Atari... ahh the memories.
To those who may not know. FPGA is not emulation, it is more like an exact recreation of the original hardware housed inside of a chip.
For example, emulation is like having a person try to impersonate a celebrity, whereas FPGA is like taking an exact copy of the celebrity's brain and transplanting it into a "blank" person.
@bigshrimpn You over-simplify emulation a little. Emulation is a little more/better than that. Maybe like....taking the celebs exact twin brother & using him as the impersonator? I mean, MAME, it faithfully reproduces the games as near as exact as possible. You can't tell the difference in play/sound, graphic. All they are doing is running the game program on a faster chip. Unless, you mean strictly FPGA (I don't know what that is) & not ALL emulation in general?
@gjc82071 Emulation, as understood by most people (referring to your MAME example) is a re-implementation of a piece of hardware, in software such that the "emulator" is able to execute an original piece of software code from the hardware.
@mrt1r Cool/Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, I like & admire your scope tube setup. Have you tried any other vector type games on it? Also, is that a generic asteroids game, or the real thing? I love most vintage/retro technology that involves gaming. I'm a total "retroholic" & emulator man myself. With the exception of my (packed away) modest vintage consoles collection (16 consoles/200+ carts), I am strictly into emulation. I collect emulators/ROMs & have 50+/60,000+ respectively.
Why does this look like a raster display. Look at the jaggies when it is in clock mode

Yeah, why bother to learn and do something to improve your skills...

I was looking at buying a scope clock kit for an old valve scope I have but was hoping I would come across something like this too.
Is the asteriods game fed from a soundcard of a computer or is it on a seperate chip? Is there a website with more information?
