I know a lot of people like to give Analogue a hard time, but I really enjoy seeing what they come up with.
From their Twitter:
Analogue OS is the start of something big. At its heart, Analogue OS is purpose built for exploring and celebrating all of video game history. Designed to be the definitive, scholarly operating system for playing and experiencing the entire medium.
With Analogue OS you can explore, discover and play through all of history, save your game at any moment with cartridges, create & share playlists, track your gameplay & even develop your own FPGA cores to help preserve video game history. It's all for the love of video games.
Powered by FPGA. Everything at Analogue is powered by FPGA. An FPGA provides unparalleled accuracy and low latency - eliminating the problems of software emulation. So you know you are experiencing history with the respect it deserves.
FPGA powered DEV. Pocket is designed to be as easy as possible to develop and port FPGA cores to. Developers will be able to interface with Analogue OS: Library, Memories and Tools. And to Pocket hardware, I/O's and scalers.
Explore the Library. Everywhere. Library is a reference level database to play, explore & discover. A scholarly cataloging of the entirety of video game history. The database that serves Library was developed holistically, from the ground up, with the highest standard possible.
