FPGA is also emulation. You must also program it in VHDL or Verilog language.
There is an "Human" factor, with this "BUG's" inside.
With FPGA you can do all the things in parallel, one bloc for the Clocks,
one for generating the display, one for Sound, another for CPU, etc...
They work individualy, no need to wait for each.
In software you have do to all the jogs sequencely. But with the CPU more and more powerful the gap is narrowing.
