vita2hos VS Wiki_MiSTer

Actually, a few projects are ran natively, like vita2hos (PSVita games on the Switch) and TeknoParrot.

Check https://github.com/xerpi/vita2hos . It's still in early stages and can only run simple vita homebrews for now. It is also a translation layer and not an emulator which means it runs natively.

You mean this? https://github.com/xerpi/vita2hos

The project isn’t 3k, which is an emulator, it’s Vita2hos, which has the important distinction of not being an emulator. As insane as it sounds, the games would be ran entirely natively on Switch hardware. I don’t know how the UI would work for it all, and I doubt doing it all through a switch emulator wouldn’t complicate things, but time will tell as the project progresses.

A guy is working on a way to run vita apps natively on switch. Better than emulator support if he gets it working. https://github.com/xerpi/vita2hos

RTFM

I think it's a bit rich to describe this as the 'future of video game preservation'.

The MiSTer project https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki more rightfully deserves that title. It's got a huge range of systems (across consoles, arcade and micro computers) and it's all GPL licenced. The base board is a Terasic DE10 Nano which is proprietary but all other hardware required is open source.

The MiSTeX project aims to make MiSTer portable across different FPGA platforms https://github.com/MiSTeX-devel so a DE10 Nano won't be mandatory enabling a new ecosystem of open hardware and commercial for profit solutions.

I take no issue with people wanting to make money in this space. I take great issue with trying to gatekeep system preservation behind a mostly closed system you stamp an 'open' moniker on.

Go to the source https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki that should have all the information you need and also https://misterfpga.org/ and https://discord.gg/4xKVg4XVYn

Cute, but I don't see the point relative to miSTer.

The MiSTer project[0] is a wonderful introduction to a practical use case for FPGAs. It uses verilog to describe how the DE10-Nano chip should be set up to resemble various classic computers, arcade machines, and video game consoles. With a single device you can have an Apple II+, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and a SNES. Currently it supports up to the PlayStation for console cores, which is probably the upper bounds for the DE10-Nano.

The entire project feels perfectly in line with hacker mentality and is exciting to watch grow. There's nothing like playing Super Metroid with an original SNES controller on a CRT at the end of the day.

I'd advice anyone interested to look at miSTer instead. That is open hardware proper and has a very mature ecosystem of cores, including Amiga.

Consider the miSTer as an open source hardware (in FPGA) alternative (minimig FPGA core).

Have you followed the steps here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki/Samba funily enoough google pointed me here.

Here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki and https://misterfpga.org/ I assume you know about these links?

You can find a lot of old computers and game consoles implemented in FPGA here:
