looking it up, it seems like most of these things just use fpgas under their characteristic giant epoxy blobs, which is slightly disappointing but i guess makes sense
@typhlosion most famiclones still use dedicated NOACs! Usually VTxx chips from VR Technology which often have some enhanced features but not always. I think FPGAs would be too expensive for how dirt cheap the consoles are
@lion that's good to know...... thank you for the insight
anyway i'm mostly daydreaming about this because i want to make a handheld one that still has a fuckin full size nes cartridge slot
