Diving into FPGA Gaming with the MiSTer Multisystem Console

Let's build and review the MiSTer Multisystem hardware expansion kit! In addition to its 3D printed case, the Multisystem is a board adding tons of functionality and quality of life improvements to the MiSTer FPGA experience. Plus it has all kinds of nifty upgrade options with a modular expansion slot and integrated SNAC ports and things, so things only improve from here.

Ah this has been the easiest to understand and most enjoyable overview of the MiSTer to date.
I should have known Clint would not let us down. And man that woodgrain looked great.

I did my postdoc on FPGA implementations and I take my hat off to these people! Even with relatively modern tools it's not a trivial thing to implement someone else's architecture.

I can't believe the market is big enough that stuff like this can even come to fruition. There's a whole world of enthusiasts out there totally off my radar. I love it!

MiSTer has desperately needed a more "consoleized" version for years, so it's great to see people making something convenient and tidy like this rather than the traditional "squid" setup. I don't think I'll be trading in my passively cooled aluminium case any time soon as size is another factor, but hopefully the multisystem gets more people involved who were perhaps put off by needing to source all the bits of hardware from different sellers.

it cheers me up quite alot to see Emulation going this professional.
good nostalgia is the one that was exactly as good as you remember it.

I think some of the British YouTubers are impacting Clint -- I can't blame him -- I've started calling things "Fiddly" and "Piece of Kit" myself, as well as beginning tasks saying "Right!"

I found RMC based on a recommendation you made years ago, when Neil had a few thousand subs. I'm really happy to see his success, since he's such a nice dude who really puts the work in.

Alright, that’s legitimately the coolest hobbiest engineering project I’ve seen since the Pi, and thank you for introducing me to it.

[colinwatt]

I'm enjoying watching the MiSTer do the rounds of my favourite youtubers.

[OrangeLightning]

I really hope LGR unearth's some weird Christmas themed software so we can get a Christmas special this year, they make me so nostalgic.

[xTJ]

Every time I see a video on this thing, I wish I could justify splurging and getting one. It's a beautiful system, and just so cool.

[---Rin---]

Wow. I didn't even know the technology to replicate the architecture of old consoles and PCs existed. This is wild! I'm so impressed. I'd never heard of MiSTer before but I sure want one now! I bet they will be really hard to come by too. Looks amazing!

[deansundquist]

They made you a wood grain version! This colab knows how to do marketing.

[AlexTenThousand]

It's interesting to see just how much of a renaissance SCART is living thanks to retrogaming - a European video standard with surprising capabilities now living on in the digital age thanks to these machines.

[dmacpher]

Solid crossover! You’ve gotta go visit his museum when you can!

[midimusicforever]

The MiSTer's use of FPGA is such a cool idea!

[groutguy]

I was having a really hard time calming down after a sobbing panic attack after a bad day at work. I got in the car and this popped up and as soon as I heard the LGR noises and music I started feeling better lol thank you for these videos

[thesweetone]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Awesome video as always LGR! Simply awesome.

[odius]

Funny enough, Galaga is the game I use to test emulation latency. Watching you buzz all the incoming bugs was very satisfying and gives me a lot of hope for the system.

[MrDDawson]

RMC! Thanks for shouting this out for Neil! You rock Clint.
