What Hacker News says
7 sourcesYou know the FPGA box, who is able to run C64, Amiga and atariST based on FPGA?

In FPGA meets 6502I wanted to learn about Verilog development and to get a better understanding of what's happening on chips. To that end I bought a MiST FPGA-based computer: https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki
It's Altera Cyclone III-based. The MiST wiki says the free "web edition" of the Altera "Quartus II" development environment is sufficient to develop for the unit (albeit I haven't actually gotten around to doing anything with it yet).
I can't say how the MiST board stacks-up to dev boards from FPGA manufacturers. I may be going about this the most wrong way possible, but here was my rationale: I was attracted to MiST because tutorials were available for it (https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/tree/master/tutoria...), and because the device could be usable as a retro-computing platform if it ended up being unusable for me for anything

else. (Chalk that up to rationalization of the purchase, I guess.)
The MiST project has compiled a collection of HDL reimplementations of old hardware ported to their FPGA board: https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki/CoreStatus
In I decided to make a graphics card for my Amiga 2000Here is a device that recreates many classic computers with an FPGA https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki and I can also think of http://redpitaya.com which is primarily an FPGA based O-scope and SDR, but you can download "apps" for it to work of other common electronics workbench devices.
In FPGA-based hardware acceleration for a key-value store database (2014)It's not even that high resolution. https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki/Displays
Remember the original hardware being emulated targeted PAL TVs: 576 lines @ 50Hz.
Lower resolution HDMI is certainly feasible, but you have to care more about the signal integrity when designing the board, and it's harder to debug: http://www.fpga4fun.com/HDMI.html
