The problem is all the easy problems have been solved, and even all the hard problems have been solved in science. We're down to the really hard problems, and since our otherwise astoundingly accurate observations of how the universe a

Why is the MiSTer listed as "used to perfectly emulate and/or upscale analog signals?" MiSTer doesn't just concern itself with analog signals, it simulates the entire system and outputs the original analog signal or can
