@jamess It won't, because the 3D does not support openFPGA. It's basically locked into the N64. openFPGA would've cannibalized its own business, because it would've made their Mega SG, Super NT, and Duo virtually pointless (aside from their abilities to read physical carts/CDs).
@jamess The 3D's FPGA has double the logic elements of the MiSTer's FPGA (220K to 110K). The Pocket's FPGA that's used for its hardware emulation has 49K logic elements.
@PopetheRev28 If you try to shop for an off-the-shelf Intel (Altera) 10CX220 FPGA, its price ranges from $300 to $600. Obviously, Analogue is getting a discount by buying these FPGAs in bulk for the 3D, but for you to say that Analogue is outright scamming its customers with some overpriced plastic and silicon is pretty laughable.
