As this chip was on the outer edge of the PCB, being able to move it meant the board could get cut down smaller than ever before. But there’s more than just a hacked N64 motherboard living ...

The original N64 stick uses a rotary encoder to output data to the control chip, while the PlayStation stick is an analog device. [Kyle’s] solution was to read the analog values using a PIC ...

To achieve 100% compatibility, it instead leverages an FPGA chip, which can be programmed after manufacturing to emulate specific hardware like the Nintendo 64 down to the transistor level.

CoreMark benchmarking data shows that the previously released Epiphany-III chip reaches equivalent performance levels of server type microprocessors like the Intel Xeon chips, while consuming less ...
