As much as I adore seeing FPGA-based emulation, I really wish the community would stop putting forth what amounts to propaganda, which gets consumed uncritically by non-technical article writers. It doesn't involve emulating machines on a transistor level. It just plain doesn't.
Yet the FPGA crowd like to act as if it's a "can't" situation rather than a "hasn't yet been", situation - and the people working on FPGA-based emulators, for the most part, are going closed-source in order to actively *prevent* open emulators from getting at helpful info.

They aren't actually interested in preservation if they're going not just closed-source, but refusing to so much as share info about the hardware functionality. Nothing wrong with charging for compiled binaries, but withholding info is straight fucked up.

CD-i Fan is the only person to have a really comprehensive view of how Philips CD-i players worked, and charges money for his emulator to compensate for his time, but he still shares info, because he gives a flying fuck about actual preservation.
