Mister FPGA

[Zaf]

Hopefully you get it very soon mate.

Anyone else had theirs or shipped at least?

I got mine last week, still not got round to testing it yet

Has anyone else got a TangNano as a dedicated NES/SNES FPGA? They are only £20 on AliExpress

I have not heard of that one, a quick Google and it reminds me of those Pi Zero's. It could make a cool portable FPGA SNES/NES.

Yeah it’s a neat little affordable board, I wish someone would port a MasterSystem core to it as well…

Could probably run Gameboy and Mega Drive?

Managed to put it together earlier initial testing all seems good.

Love the blue man.

Yeah looks great. It’s a fingerprint magnet though!

I've got a black acrylic case from misterfpga.co.uk as I couldn't wait for Taki's. They look really smart, I know what you mean about finger prints etc but once set up fully there is barely a need to touch the system anyway .

Mister in a Perspex case reminds of orac from Blake’s 7 (really showing my age now). Was out all day today but off tomorrow so hopefully get some time to copy some more games over and have a tinker.

There's already a game boy port but it's currently on hold and there has been a mega drive port to it's bigger brother the 60k but I don't think it run's on the 20k

Still waiting on my delivery, can’t open it until Christmas anyways

 

[JoeBoi]

Has anyone else been keeping an eye on this one?

Looks quite cool, basically a PSone style MiSTer.

 

[Metalface Mark]

great price on it since it plays other cores too - looks snazzy!

 

[Zaf]

I'm more interested in this one...

it's got 138k LUTs compared with DE-10/Clones 110k and dirt cheap in comparisons. I'm looking forward to see what the devs can come up with!

Mike Chi posted about one of these the other day. I think this is the one you previously mentioned Zaf? It does look interesting.

I ended up ordering Taki’s SuperStation in blue. Who else got one?

Yeah same. Shocked about release date, I thought it was sooner. Wondering when we might actually see the handheld.

 

[montymint]

I didn’t bother with such a long lead time. It offers nothing over what my current stack does

I was tempted but the mister pi has it all covered interested by things like the Tang Console though that possibly increase the capabilities and what’s capable on the fpga platform.
