When I started playing with MAME, I somewhat dreamed of a way to turn its highly structured code into something that could not only be compiled into an emulator as it is, but also be synthesizable into hardware.

The possibility of using a single codebase to generate both a software emulator and a hardware implementation is incredible, from a hardware preservation point of view.
