The $99 MiSTer FPGA Board is Almost Here!

Here's a quick status update on the new $99 MiSTer FPGA board with a small performance showcase of some games I've been testing.

Terasic continues to charge the same covid price to maximize profits. A MiSTer FPGA clone at 2017 student prices would be a tremendous gift for the community. Thank you

I've wanted a FPGA forever but they're hard to find and expensive. I'll be watching this project pretty closely. Amazing work!

[lucascampos]

We Brazilians are very excited for the arrival of this low-cost Mister FPGA. I can guarantee that you will sell a lot here in Brazil. 😊

[seanabsher]

that's amazing --- a $115 Mister FPGA is a lot more exciting than a $250 to $300+ kit

I'm so excited to see this. I've been looking into the MisterFPGA project recently, and like many others the cost was holding me back. The possibility of getting this in a HANDHELD, at a reasonable price, with the performance benefits of FPGA, the dedication of this community, in a no-nonsense (no android or windows) portable? I'm sold. All it has to do is work and I'll buy one of every model you produce Taki. My Retroid Pockets and Anbernics will go in a drawer.

Looks great and makes the project more accessible again. Well Done

[OwenOrsini]

I literally bought a DE-10 Nano a week ago. That being said, im glad more people will be able to get into this project soon!

hey TAKI, please make a version with a better FPGA. 110K Logic Elements was not enough to implement a proper ao486 core for example, they had to remove the floating point unit...It's not fast enough for various DOS games. 110K LE is barely enough to make an accurate Saturn, Sergiy had to gimp a bunch of parts of the implementation in his Saturn core. I've been waiting forever for the community to finally move past the 110K LE. Come on TAKI, you can be the one who leads us to the promised land and moves us out of the 110K LE era. It's been 8 years of 110K. Something's gotta give, we can't go like this forever. What if you could make "BASIC" version for $99 that's compatible with old cores, and a "SUPER" version for $199 that opens up the possibility for some new cores?

This is going to sell out fast, it's amazing they got the price to to $100 dollers looks fantasic. a handheld with full mister capabilities would be a game changer.

[tebo]

Reducing the entry-level barrier for FPGA gaming wow Taki this would be a game changer. I'm wishing blessings upon blessing for this project to succeed. Taki for President everyone 😁

[wiegraf]

Already own a MiSTer but I'm glad that a DE-10 Nano alternative is in the works so others can also get one!

[pcsala]

I am strongly wishing you guys success in this endeavor! This is one of the best news I've heard for retrogaming in quite some time!

[poptheweasel]

Man, I was always considering getting a MiSTer together to replace my Wii as my retro console, but the price was a bit much. And then, just days after i finally get a CRT TV after a few years of looking, I see this. Good thing I've waited so long! Super excited to see how this project goes, especially any consolized version of this.

[WalrusFPGA]

Looks very promising so far. Thanks for getting a preview video up so quick!

[PM-xcoo]

This is awesome. I took the plunge into the world of MiSTer a while back and it is pretty fantastic but if it can be made more accessible that is only a good thing. Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

[bransomething]

This is great! I've been an incredibly satisfied MiSTer owner for a few years now but have seen people repeatedly turn to worse options due to price creep and stock issues. With something like this more accessible to the masses, it'll be easier and cheaper to source replacements/backup units, accessory/add-on creators will see more business, FPGA competitors preying on the enthusiast market will get a reality slap, and audiences in general might start pushing for higher emulation and input latency standards from mainstream gaming entities.

[simpson]

I hope shipping these won't cost too much, usually Europe gets left behind with these kinds of niche projects.

[vlesmeries]

Omg. I've been wanting a Mister for a long time. I can't wait to order. Thanks Taki for making this happen.

[tenshin]

Very interesting! Looking forward to a consolized version

[GameplayandTalk]

It's great to see another option to the original DE-10 Nano in the works! Good stuff.
