I really liked the section of the video titled "CPU" 'cause it actually explained everything well and used sketch-noting or whatever you call it (I'm referring to the graphs here).
Isn't it better and more accessible to mod existing roms to work with software emulators instead of doing the FPGA thing? It'll help you preserve the game just the same way and won't be as difficult as learning FPGA shit.
The route most normal people think when some code is buggy is to modify the code instead of making a whole new CPU. The ROMs aren't going to vanish just because there are no more CPUs which can run the same ROM.
I think what the society would benefit from is a centralized ROM Marketplace (Donation based) where you upload modded ROMs for obsolete consoles but of course because of how intellectual property works under capitalism this isn't possible.
As mentioned, FPGAs are super expensive, not very efficient and require a lot of knowledge of the underlying ICs.
Also there are no FPGAs for PS2 and other modern consoles
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

This is all very true.
