For those who have not heard of the "MiSTer FPGA gaming system" before:
"MiSTer is an open project that aims to recreate various classic computers, game consoles and arcade machines, using modern hardware. It allows software and game images to run as they would on original hardware, using peripherals such as mice, keyboards, joysticks and other game controllers.
MiSTer utilizes an FPGA board called the 'DE10-Nano', which connects to your TV or monitor via HDMI video out. It can additionally be expanded with various add-ons (such as a USB hub, SDRAM, audio and VGA out)."

- xattt 4y agoMy understanding is that these are unobtanium now, and that the only reason it took off was the first boards were heavily subsidized by Intel.
- mmastrac 4y agoThe prices on eBay seem to be about 2x what I paid in 2021. Wild.
- Cpoll 4y agoTerasic still sells them. The price is much worse than when MiSTer was taking off, but my gut feeling is the project's picked up enough inertia that it doesn't matter.

Kit-sellers like Misteraddons also get them back in stock regularly. Reviews on their site suggest they shipped out a batch last month.
