Here's the red flag.... "games such as Star Fox, which shipped with a custom SuperFX chip inside the cart won't play as the team hasn't been able to accurately emulate the chip as yet."
What you can assume from this is, it's not interacting with carts at all. It's a rom dumper and emulation. It won't work with flash carts either.
Why would you need to emulate the superfx if it's already on the cart? Because just like the retron5 it can't interact with the cart. It's dumping the cart rom then emulating.
They might be mentioning FPGA because people see that and think Super NT / AVS hardware emulation. But needing to "emulate the superfx"... yeah save yourself a small fortune and get a retron5 or a real FPGA hardware emulated system.
