FPGA for dummies

[_ThEcRoW]

FPGA is not emulation. It's the recreation of the physical chips under a reconfigurable chip.

The FPGA*replay doesn't emulate, it RECREATES the cpu and custom chipsets of the Amiga. Is this hard to understand?. Also for the people who say is the same to program as well as designing a chip, what are you smoking guys?.

So, if there is an "error" in UAE, it will be reproduced on FPGA?

From what i know, none of the fpga amigas uses uae in it cores, so i don't know how you reach to that conclusion...

Yes, the logic isn't the same. It is emulation.
 
Even though the FPGA's have extra functionality, they can still emulate the old functionality enough to run the old software.
 
Like it or not, it's emulation. Nothing about the word emulate implies using a computer. It means one thing trying to behave like another thing.

No, it isn't emulation.
