@avcrypt Analogue used Near's research (Higan/Bsnes/Ares original dev) too, which is not surprising since they were incredible knowledgeable and talented. And they were behind the MSU-1, the custom extension chip for the SNES.
" Analogue Pocket is based on FPGA hardware, which means that it emulates other systems on a hardware rather than software level – that means more accurate emulation. "
That's simply not true, using hardware emulation doesn't magically make it more accurate and there's no cap on how accurate software emulators can be or already are. An old but still accurate (not punt intended) article from Near (no less!) summed that up nicely : https://archive.is/fWosI
@hste Studios used to send advance copies to journalists for exposure and much needed cheap advertisement. Now they use "Influencers", I don't think it's that surprising.

"The device will almost certainly use software emulation, so don't expect FPGA-like accuracy here"

Re: Atari Jaguar Emulation Has Arrived On iPhone
@Sketcz
What emu did you try? Ares supports Cue/wav and CHDs at least and I would be surprised if it didn't support ISOs too.

@pomegran FPGA is emulation too.
