We built an FPGA-based AI that uses video input from an NES console to automatically play the game Super Mario Bros. All of the video analysis and AI techniques are performed using Verilog-compiled hardware running on an Altera DE2 Cyclone board. The project combines NTSC decoding, VGA output, kernel-based pattern matching, real-time image manipulation, and NES controller emulation.

Mario AI on FPGA
would it be too hard to do the sae but with something faster like sonic?
and how many years till we have real time tas level AI's?
