The Nintendo 64 was one of the most interesting consoles of its time, but revisiting those classics isn’t easy. Unless you still have a microfridge-sized CRT in working order, you’re looking at spending hundreds of dollars on mods, upscalers, or converters to play the original hardware on a modern TV.
Thankfully, there’s another option that uses high-speed FPGA chips to emulate the console at the hardware level. Not only does this provide a nearly perfect recreation of the original experience, it also allows for upgrades like upscaling, HDMI output, and more — without the need for expensive dongles or mods.
