The difference between FPGA and Emulation explained at a high level

[@MrSujano]

I could have gone into a lot more detail to really split hairs about the differences between the two. I didn't mention Higan, nor did I talk about the massive potential that software emulation has in general. This isn't a video to determine what is "better".

[@bhirawamaylana466]

Well if you try to make FPGA vs Emulation video this will always happen, FPGA owner justify their purchase (sorry guys but that what I see at everyone who keep saying positive stuff about FPGA), while emulation guys just saying what it's nothing different than emulation why FPGA really matter if it's cost me better PC in same price who can play better game, so yeah this debate will probably never end ever, but in the end of the day just pick your weapon of choice to play retro game either real hardware, FPGA or emulation as long you can adapt to it and have fun that all matter, oh btw the one who always make fuss mostly is Fighting game fans and timing based game fans, just want saying I understand why they don't like emulation with how Millisecond lags can be disaster in match but once you adapt it you can play just fine.

[@soloM81]

of course there are many things you could have brought up for example fpga's run in parallel just like real hardware software emulation does not it runs in sequential . on a fpga the graphics are being display on screen the same way that real hardware does it and you remove layers of lag . there is no high end software emulator out there that runs in parallel NONE

Then why didn't you, this video barely goes over anything. Instead you say two or three times "I could've explained better but I didnt" why not just explain it thoroughly instead of blatantly showing your hand on which you prefer because it's obviously emulation. And you glossed over it all just like any other emulation fan boy.

[@davidste60]

Have you tried Retroarch with it's latency settings menu? If you use the Final Burn Neo core, or the MAME 2003-Plus core, you can beat the Mister and original hardware in terms of low latency.

[@FabioSpelta]

I also came to recommend you to enable the auto frame delay feature and the run ahead one. The latter requires a bit of tuning and understanding, but everything is well worth it. You're going to annihilate any lag.

[@ObiKKa]

ares also has runahead. And it's a much neater software than retroarch (no name/fbn cores though).

[@n8goulet]

Are you using a CRT? I've been using software emulation for some time, and I've never noticed lag. I run arcade CRT's with software emulation for MAME, classic computers and classic consoles. I'm mainly into classic games from the 80s and 70s. It could depend on the particular type of games you play. I'm not into the karate games, so who knows? I play classics like Pacman, Defender, Marble Madness, etc. Also perhaps less inputs/button presses at once? Most of the lag I've heard about is because of the LCD's.

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

>Explained in a high level >Starts comparing them to Pokemon levels

[@jakuth99]

I definitely think software emulation is preferable most of the time. Not only would it be easier to emulate more systems and generally do more things with minimal configuration, but I’ve seen software emulators that seek to have a better output than the original hardware, and aiming for accuracy like an FPGA does only allows the output to be as good as the original

[@Ziggurat1]

You do make a good point, but FPGA emulation can also improve upon the original. Robert Peip's GBA core allows you to render GBA games at a higher resolution, so sprites that are scaled look better. The NES core allows you to increase the sprite limit like in software emulators, more and more arcade cores allow you to save the highscore. Etc, there are many more examples. Below I just write about the difference between software and fpga emulation, not claiming one to be better. High Level or HL software emulators, are emulators that emulate the high level functions of the consoles, example emulate the graphics API instead of the gpu, or do just in time compailation, etc, or emulate the operating system instead of the hardware, and so on. These are much more flexible when it comes to adding new features. Low Level or LL software emulators are harder to add new cool features, but not impossible, and FPGA emulators, are basically low level emulators, but they are harder to develop. The advantage of FPGA emulator cores are that they have the possibility to be very accurate if programmed with care and good understanding of the original hardware. And you don't have any operating system or abstraction layers to get in the way like you do on a traditional computer. This allows games to be run on an FPGA that runs like 5W (not including rest of the hardware, maybe add another 2 or 3 watts) the and the same accuracy in a software emulator would run on like a 65W CPU (not including the rest of the hardware, maybe add 50 or 100W more). And even on MiSTer where it processes the USB gamepads on the Linux side, this has the USB polling processes running alone on a cpu core, being able to not be managing other tasks at the same time. Or the GPIO pins on the FPGA can talk to the controllers directly, not having any delay more than the original console, making peripherals work the same way as on consoles. And other optimizations, like not having a buffer for the audio, the audio is processed without delay, or as much delay as the original system. Software emulation has its own advantages, like does really 30 ms lag matter? When you can render games in 4k, running mods that require the power of a PC, using tech like AMD FSR. Running consoles that are far out of the reach of FPGA for a long time. Like gamecube, or Wii or PS3 or PS4... or running games on the platforms you have already, like your phone or the computer you already use. Or even running emulators in the web browser, or playing open source versions of the games like Doom or Tomb Raider. Net Play, awesome debugging, Tool Assisted Speedruns, savestates, variable refresh-rate motitors. Yes FPGA can do some of these things, but they are more advanced on software emulators.

[@Mossyfurnace]

If you don't think fpga can also improve it or that messing with the timing can water down the experience just like interpolated animation then idk how to even talk about it.

[@benjib2691]

@@0Asterite0 It depends on the quality of the VHDL/Verilog code one produce. In theory you can obtain a 1 to 1 copy of the original hardware digital logic if you know enough about each ICs on the motherboard. It's easier for some hardware and more difficult for others (like the SID chip of the C64, which makes use of some sorts of analog filtering on the output which can be difficult to reproduce with a FPGA), but it's do-able given enough time and dedication on the reverse-engeneering process usually.

[@kran27_]

FPGA is very powerful and interesting technology, but i see it more as a preservation thing than the definitive way to play games, more often than not emulators have features that make it better than the original hardware, such as HD rendering, widescreen hacks, customizable controls, etc. etc. not to mention that you don't need new hardware for emulation.

[@TamaOne]

Emulation is for the OG's, FPGA is for the high rollers 😂

[@MrSujano]

lol

[@kleev6576]

FPGA is amazing! But it is still relatively young (obviously) compared to software emulation. For now I find that its current amount of benefits is not enough to beat software emulation and thus there's obvious debate. It can basically only do 1 thing better than software emulation, and that is low latency. And by low latency, I mean that software emulation is only anywhere between 1 - 3 frames of latency, but if using Linux, RetroArch and a good enough CPU (and GPU?), you might get less than 1 frame of latency, at which point FPGA would be pointless :P I can do so much more on RetroArch, like Netplay, shaders, overlays and customizable menus, that I just can't justifty FPGA devices (yet). When it comes to accuracy, just how much more accurate can FPGA be at playing NES and SNES? With almost all the games, if you have a Raspberry Pi with RetroArch and any of these consoles running side by side, they'd appear to behave, look, and sound the exact same. There's just not enough higher accuracy for me to even develop any preference. Here's a fun fact: RetroArch is actually better than FPGA if you're playing on a TV with a lot of lag! Just configure Run Ahead to make up for the lag more than an FPGA would, since FPGA can't run ahead. This was actually a valid argument the last 6 or so years (God time flies). Nowadays most people have TVs with a good enough Game Mode that this is now a trivial difference haha.

Software emulation is perfectly fine for most scenarios. It's accessible right away and most people just need to be able to play the game without a hassle. I firmly fall into the group of people that prefer to experience games on actual hardware as intended with no input delay but don't or cannot invest thousands of dollars so the MiSTer FPGA is the next best solution. Having no input delay has unintentionally improved my performance in many games I never expected to be good at.

[@n8goulet]

I've not experienced input delay with software emulation.I built 4 MAME machines more than 20 years ago. Vector monitor ones even. What games are you running where you've noticed that? What kind of hardware, display? I use arcade CRT's and Windows computers. Classic games only.

[@AnimeDynasty001]

Oh yeah!!!

[@TheRelen222]

Both are great. Fpga is better at classic consoles but not by a huge margin. There is a law of diminishing returns with fpga for newer systems (assuming we ever get that much power with an fpga), as they don't use precise timing the way the older systems do, so they don't need to be super accurate. I'm glad we have fpga for what we have though, for preservations sake.

[@Imgema]

In what way FPGAs are better at classic systems?

[@TheRelen222]

@@Imgema Think of timing belts in a car. The timing has to be just right for everything to work. Old consoles worked like this. Fpga is able to replicate old consoles, in theory, in a 1:1 ratio. This means the colors are more accurate, the sound is more accurate, etc. A lot of people may not care about that, but purists will.

[@Imgema]

@@TheRelen222 Software emulation also emulates correct timings. It makes the emulators more demanding in CPU power, like BSNES, but it's something accurate software emulators do. Sure, there are also performance based emulators that don't do that but we shouldn't compare FPGAs to those so the later look better, do we?

[@TheRelen222]

@@Imgema The “run ahead” option on some emulators fixes some of the latency issues, but it will still be many years until the power requirements for more perfect timing become ubiquitous for the average consumer. I use both software and hardware emulation so don’t really have an ego investment either way. One thing that’s not mentioned here is that Mister is not just for old consoles but old PC systems as well. Commodore 64, Amiga, etc., as well as 1:1 replications of arcade pcb boards. Personally, I hate dealing with MAME, so it’s worth it to me. Also, it can be hooked up to Pvm or crt monitors easily, which brings its own benefits, so I still think it is worth it.

I think what would be more interesting would be a combination of the two, the hardware replication of the fpga along with capabilities of emulation software, it could allow for some pretty impressive things do be done especially with upscaling (for example) without the cost of performance

[@GoldenMean743]

There are some Mister cores that do this, and I think it's been a bit controversial in the Mister community, maybe not much though. Also, you can mod and add features to original hardware, right? Look at the HD mods. You can add features to Mister cores, too. The main reason why I prefer the Mister is because I'm probably borderline OCD. When I played with emulators, I always ran into various glitches that stunted the immersion. I have yet to have an audio or graphical glitch on the Mister on the Mister cores I play, at least nothing I've ever noticed. Admittedly, it's been a little while since I tried an emulator, though.

[@Sevent77]

Imo the true difference is performance cost. Both options have the potential to offer perfect emulation given talented programmers, but with emulation there's the need for overhead performance since basically the emulator has to translate from one system to another as such you need a more powerful device to emulate an older system. FPGA don't need that overhead since they're using the same language as the original system but you need a specific FPGA board that can match the original system in performance.

[@icepee9252]

What got me into fpga was the potential for 100% cycle accurate simulation. While the potential is there it requires much more research. And probably decapping and mapping ICs . Most FPGA cores don't go this extra step as it's not simple with a high failure rate and wastage. I still think it's worthwhile going the FPGA route as when it's done properly, it preserves not only the software but the hardware.

[@n8goulet]

Software emulation can also be 100% cycle accurate too. That isn't limited to just FPGA.A couple such examples of this are the Stella Atari 2600 emulator, and the WinUAE Amiga emulator, but there are others. At the end of the day, hardware or software recreation, it's only as good as the people making it, and there are good and bad FGA and software recreations.

[@NerdENerd]

FPGA is still emulation, just a different kind of emulation than software emulation. FPGA is emulating the circuitry in a cycle accurate manner vs a program that translates old software to run on a different system. FPGA is going to give the most accurate results in replicating the experience of old hardware if it is coded accurately. Software emulators can do things very differently depending on how they are programmed. Some replicate the old hardware and run the software on emulated hardware, some translate system calls to modern operating system calls, some recompile the software to retarget it to a different system. Both FPGA and software emulators can add enhancements like overclocks, enhanced hardware like extra sprites per line and more memory, upscale resolution, add mods and texture packs and add save states. There is no simple one is better than the other but a a general rule you will get much better results with a good MiSTer FPGA core over a Raspberry Pi software emulator and it is well worth the money to get a DE10-nano over a Raspberry Pi in my opinion.

If there are some improvements in the loading times of the screens within the same game, the implementation of the emulation in FPGA will take 20+ years. In FPGA MISTER you will not find inside, for example, the complete hardware of a SNES. Each chip, each transistor, circuit board, resistors, etc... is an emulation with a little more level only speed tests have already been done in the games REAL CONSOLE VS EMULATION VS FPGA.

The only potential FPGAs have is lower power consumption for the same level of accuracy as a PC emulator, since accurate emulators on PC need more powerful CPUs. Input latency can also be better since there is no OS overhead but on a good PC there are options like GPU sync in RetroArch. Otherwise there is nothing in FPGAs that makes emulation inherently more accurate than software emulators. Both rely on the programmer's skills and their knowledge of the system they try to replicate.
