>But in some cases like NEOGEO the FPGA is indescernably accurate.
Why do people keep parroting that FPGA recreation of Neo Geo is flawless? Yes, it is based on decapping original SNK chips, but the dev made several mistakes in code which he personally acknowledged and the core still shows some noticeable minor glitches. Instead of pointing at advantages of recreating platforms through HDL people twist it into "neogeo is 101% perfect, i'm glad i sold all my mvs games!!!1! xd". I love my MiSTer but misrepresenting its actual capabilities through hyperboles and misunderstandings does nothing to create a positive image of the project, especially for people who buy into those claims and find out the truth later. Hype culture does a lot of damage in the modern world, we should be better than that.

Author of the NeoGeo core has made some mistakes, is aware of them, but he is too distracted by decapping random Konami chips to fix them.

That means that the sticky note he made for himself has failed.
