Oh yeah, jotego's absolutely brilliant.
The thing about FPGA-based emulation is that at its worst it's no better than a run-of-the-mill software-based emulator running on a PC; but at its best, it's essentially as if you were running the entire emulation of a CPU-based machine through MAME's netlist system, in terms of emulating every last detail of the hardware.
Many people act like emulation via FPGA is a magic bullet, but in reality it would just be a cheap parlor trick if not for people like jotego doing their best to ensure that the experience is more like the best-case situation than the worst-case.
