1/ @NOTimothyLottes
Think about it - the M64 is probably going to be one of the best FPGA device platforms for custom fantasy HW platform development.

Anyone want to guess on what size FPGA they used?
3/ @NOTimothyLottes
Hint just pin count:
4/ @NOTimothyLottes
Looks like an FFVB676 package, which means it is at least an AU10P (cannot be the AU7P)
5/ @NOTimothyLottes
Looks like AP Memory 24-pin PSRAMs. If it was DDR it might be 16-bit per clock, so effectively a “64-bit bus” perhaps at 133 MHz - so very rough guess ballpark paper spec peak around 1 GiB/s.
6/ @NOTimothyLottes
Looks like the FPGA in the M64 is an AU15P
7/ @NOTimothyLottes
So ballpark FPGA capacity is like
{32 CLBs + 2 DSPs, per 2KiB BRAM} x 288 BRAMs
