Analogue Mega Sg reviewed: cloning a Sega Genesis with FPGA power

A field-programmable gate array, or FPGA for short, is the chameleon of the silicon chip world. They're reconfigurable chips that can be programmed to perform a wide array of of tasks. In PC gaming, the most famous example of such a chip at work is probably Nvidia's G-Sync module. Long story short, the ability to recode FPGAs on the fly creates a ton of usage scenarios in the hands of a capable engineer.In more recent years, they've been held up as a sort of holy grail by the retro gaming community for their handiness in recreating classic consoles.

Fractal Design Meshify S2 Case Review

The year is 2019 and our hardware is dying. What was once a battlefield littered with the carcasses of the too small and the too restrictive has dissolved with the sands of time. Years of development and trend following has changed us. Morphed our cases into tempered glass prisons hell bent on suffocating our gear. Perhaps it is our vanity that drives our desire to show off our shiny bits and bobbles. Whatever it is, the result is release after release more glass than logic, more heat with nowhere to go. Is there no end to the mutation that has taken the case industry prisoner? Is there no hero to show us the way? Perhaps there is. Perhaps that champion is the Meshify S2 from Fractal Design! The S2 is the largest Meshify case yet and has both “large” and “high airflow” in the case description. There is hope yet. Read along as we find out how the Meshify S2 strikes a fantastic balance between aesthetic and performance!
