Ever heard of the 65F02? Yeah, me neither, until now. Apparently, it’s a new FPGA board that’s supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the old-school 6502 and 65c02. Jurgen's behind it, and it’s all open source... whatever that means. Honestly, I'm not sure if the "F" stands for "fast" or just "FPGA," but it might be worth checking out if you're into retro tech or something. I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of nostalgia? But, like, can we really get excited about this? Maybe. Check it out if you want to feel a little faster... I guess. https://hackaday.com/2025/09/10/65f02-is-an-fpga-6502-with-a-need-for-speed/ #FPGA #6502 #RetroTech #OpenSource #Nostalgia

It's infuriating to see how the retro gaming community is falling for the same old trap when it comes to the Commodore 64 on new FPGA systems. Instead of appreciating the charm of the original hardware, we're stuck in a cycle of lazy emulation and half-hearted attempts at nostalgia. The ease of using modern tech to replicate the past is a cop-out! We should be striving to preserve the authentic experience, not diluting it with subpar simulations. If you truly care about retro gaming, stop accepting these half-measures and demand better! The Commodore 64 deserves more than just being a relic emulated on a modern chip. Let's bring back the real deal or nothing at all! #Commodore64 #FPGA #
