&gt; Also, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t mention all the red flags this has set off with everyone who’s ever manufactured products before; I’ve been creating and launching products for almost two decades now (at both much higher and lower quantities than this) and the information provided to us about this project over the last two months doesn’t line up with any manufacturing experience I’ve ever had.<p>What does this mean?

There was a time price of DE10-Nano was somewhat close to BOM cost, like one should do with your DEV demo boards to encourage experimentation and part use. But then people realized why design own product when we can just incorporate whole DEV board and here we are at &gt;100% margin. Looks like this clone brings price back to those good old $100 times.

Is there any indication which FPGA in the Cyclone series is being used? There are 40K cells up to 300K cells in this product line.

I have very few complaints with the MiSTer, particularly from a technical perspective, however I have a large bone to pick with Sorgelig and other‘s on their forums, particularly in regards to cartridges. While the technical reasons for not using cartridges are valid (any implementation given I&#x2F;O limitations would be equivalent to a Retrode, that is ripping a ROM + SAV only to rewrite the SAV and delete the rip), the childish anger I‘ve seen displayed towards cartridges is saddening and downright hypocritical. Have we really moved so far into a world of instant gratification that any minute not spent on entertainment is seen with vitriol and contempt? And yes, I know he‘s “seen these questions 100 times”, that’s also 100 times he chose to interact and waste everyone’s time being upset. If he’s not a social person, yet still responds to topics he doesn’t like, then that’s on him.<p>Personally, I can hardly wait for an open source cartridge-ready FPGA option to appear, and am particularly excited for Taki Udon’s projects. Till that point, the MiSTer is just a cute but incredibly expensive toy. Not yet a serious option for preservation.

Love seeing Retro RGB here. Bob does such amazing work.

It looks like a lot of work setting this up. Obviously it is a hobby thing as well, so I get that not every second needs to be &#x27;productive&#x27;, but it doesn&#x27;t need to be this complicated.<p>I ordered an Anbernic RG35XX H a few months ago for about 60 euros and although it can&#x27;t really handle playstation games, it does everything else. There are devices like it that can handle Playstation and N64 games though. I&#x27;d recommend this if you actually want to spend time playing.<p>Bonus: it is portable

Well, great: &quot;Up for sale today&quot; (Sep&#x2F;4). Unsurprisingly sold out now.

Looks like they’re already sold out of the first batch. It’s so frustrating to get into the FPGA scene, the Analogue Pocket sells out quickly as well. Guess I’ll stick to emulation.
