The good thing with stable hardware is that it is well understood, and for this task 'something better' isnt really required. I also hesitated with the de-10 nano, but plunged in anyway a few years ago, with the MiSTer sdram expansion and some usb daughter board thingy. Blew my mind! and took me right back to real arcade machines. No lag, dropped frames, or other rubbish we just take for granted these days. All I was missing was a decent control deck, but I held off thinking I'd eventually build a cabinet, one day maybe!
