MiSTer FPGA; What is FPGA Anyway? Is it Better than Software Emulation? How Does it Work?

One of the most common questions I get on every MiSTer FPGA video is what is an FPGA, or field programmable gate array chip...is it better than software emulation...and how does it work? And I usually say "its very complicated to answer via comments"...so today we will take a look at how FPGA chips work, how Verilog and HDL (hardware description language) works when recreating retro gaming consoles in FPGA...and generally the differences between FPGA emulation on MiSTer FPGA vs software emulation on something like RetroArch

I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
On this episode of our MiSTer series we are going to be talking about exactly what an FPGA chip is and why its important to MiSTer FPGA; whether its for the PS1 MiSTer FPGA core, the Sega Saturn MiSTer FPGA core, the upcoming Nintendo 64 MiSTer FPGA core, different Capcom CPS FPGA cores...or anything in between! Because MiSTer FPGA has a gaming hidden gem for everyone!
Can't wait to see what the rest of 2023 brings!
