In the CV department, I recently ordered a cheap FPGA + ARM Cortex-M3 + 64 Mbit SRAM + 32 Mbit flash that does camera input and HDMI output. Like a budget Zynq for CV.

Cool board!

Would any of the "retro" game/home computer firmwares fit in that FPGA? I find comparing capacity hard for stuff like that.

There's absolutely no reason ROMs have to waste scarce resources of a hybrid FPGA. Micro SD cards (called TF in China) and eMMC are the usual solutions.

Yes, easily, but unless someone has done it already, 'porting' them to this board would be a lot of work.
What an awesome amount of tech for so little money.
I wish I had the time to tinker with these bad boys
