People want to get up and put their Hu-Card, Turbo-Chip or CD-ROM into their console. That's really the secret sauce here. I don't know if open source hu-card/turbo chip readers exist or if you can use one with the MiSTer. They also want to use their original controllers, but I think this is an easier hurdle to overcome.
It also looks like the Analogue device is cheaper than a DE-10 + necessary modules.
- christoph 6y agoThe DE-10 is only about $140 in the US I believe and the 128MB SDRAM module is around $60, so they work out to pretty similar prices, although there are still no decent Mister cases. Do consider for that outlay though, Mister supports a ton of other systems (pretty much any 16-bit or earlier console/computer). Mister doesn't have any support for any type of cartridge readers for any of the systems supported and I don't believe there is any plan to ever support this, it is all SD card based loading. Mister works with pretty much any controller you can throw at it - original controllers through SNAC, bluetooth & USB. Also, something missing from the Analogue console is analog output - RGB scart, VGA, etc. You can fairly easily do this with Mister now without any of the analog video add on boards.
- jakemauer 6y agoMy guess is that the Analogue TG-16 console will support their proprietary DAC add-on that connects via the console's HDMI port.
