How would you run a fantasy console on FPGA?

• GNU Emacs

  243 4,258 9.9 Emacs Lisp

  Mirror of GNU Emacs

  

I recently watched "FPGA based mobile phone". I got nostalgic for the time before you shared your computing device with every intelligence agency and many ad agencies and knew how your machine worked for sure. I never used Commodore 65 so I am wondering if a more modern operating system like GNU Emacs or TIC-80 would run on a FPGA. Would there need to be a Linux Kernel and Linux base system between the FPGA and the Operating System because that is how they are normally setup when they run on CPUs?

• TIC-80

  134 4,797 9.2 C

  TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

I'd build it like this https://gitlab.com/SpectrumNext/ZX_Spectrum_Next_FPGA/-/tree/master/cores/zxnext - and document it like this https://wiki.specnext.dev/ ;-)
