Ugh, just uploaded and realized I misspoke at 0:43, it's Application Specific Integrated Circuit.
No idea why this was in my brain like this today. I mention it correctly later in the video, but had to reshoot that part lol.
Sorry everyone, I'm trying 🤣

What happened to this channel, I noticed you haven’t uploaded in a while. Hope you’re ok and that you keep posting. You’re videos are extremely interesting and informative, not many other channels like this talking about hardware of older consoles in such depth.

My favorite channel that barely gets any new uploads. 😢

I've been catching up on your retro hardware teardowns. Great stuff! Thank you!

I'm game for hearing more about FPGA basics

Thanks for the explanation! I had heard of fpga somewhere, and i knew someone explained it to me at some point, but i couldn't remember what it was.
Now, thanks to your video, i remember : while doing my very first internship in a tech startup, there was a small team of really talented people, that i had the chance to talk to, and one of those, had the task of designing an FPGA chip for their project!

Thanks for the bonus information that i couldn't understand at the time, it was really interesting and well explained.

Wishing you a nice week!

Really liking this short format video ~ 5min you learn something interesting and for someone who's know to educated about subject it feels I learn something productive

Been trying to figure out the significance of AMD's acquisition of Xilinx. Thanks for your practical explanation. Way better than incomprehensible textbook explanations I have found.

Just discovered your videos and I want to thank you for all the content! : )

Hey zygal i love your channel by the way i was wondering would it be too much to make a video on how rendering on the ps2 is done and common render techniques using the VPU and GIF

Great video! I am looking into studying either Embedded Software Engineering or FPGA Engineering, but I am not sure yet. Any advice you can give me?

heard it first time on the LTT's Intel tour, that thing is cool!

Hey James, thanks for the great videos on embedded development. I got a lot from your talk at Western Michigan University. And I just ordered a NUCLEO-64 board (it gets here later today!). So excited to start developing.

I am wondering what you think about using STM32 CUBE MX. Some voices say to learn the bare-metal coding and do away with all the training wheels. I agree with them but watching people use that software makes it look convenient.

By the way, FPGAs seem like they have lots of potential. I haven't heard of them before your video. It would have been nice to learn about specific applications, but it opens the door for more research and discovery.

Thanks for the content, and if you are inclined, I would love to see more in the "Let's Build" series.

I want to start my career in the field of Embedded, could you help me from where should I start my career?

Not sure that made anything more clear to me. You flew through the explanation with assumptions that people knew all the lingo and buzz words you were throwing around. The best I could gleam from this video (and keep in mind I'm a nerd for this stuff... father was an certified "gadget" electrician)... was that FPGA is a computer circuit on a chip that can be customized to act/behave how you want it to. One day you could program the chip to act like a Yamaha FM sound chip, and the next day you could re-program it to behave like a z80 or 68000. All of this is on the hardware level and NOT software emulated. Did I get it, basically?

ASIC is Application Specific Integrated Circuit
