"I sure love what FPGA technology has done for arcade technology, but I can't help but wonder what some of these FPGA-based replacement boards will be like in 30-40 years. Will these current-gen FPGA chips fail and need to be replaced?" - https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/fpga-in-30-40-years.486650/ …

And you dont need 30-40 years to get outdated. We already have best FPGA chips. But what the meaning of outdated? If you want play NeoGeo games for exame, your purpose get reached.
I think you are missing the point the OP was making. IMHO the OP is pointing out the chicken / egg problem in Fpga "preservation". If the cores are not open source, they can be lost to time just the same as the originals, but perhaps even harder to reverse engineer so to speak.

I get the open source idea and agree with it. But I mean, supose that De10-Nano reaches Ps1 and Saturn. To me, is good enought. Acctualy, is already good enought now. My purpose on buy it was achived. What end we need a most porwefull FPGA chip?

I have no problems with others wanting hardware improvements. just making it clear that for me the purpose has already been achieved satisfactorily. And I imagine that a lot of people are satisfied too.
