MiSTer Multisystem Games Console

It comes loaded with 128 MB ram, I/O, SNAC port, audio in.  It comes with or without the DE10 fpga.  I wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper than buying the equivalent of all the boards.  Depending on what you want to emulate you might not need many of those extras.

As he says in the vid, the price is 141 GBP + VAT, for just this all-in-one board. Case will be extra, or you can print it yourself. You then need to buy the DE10 nano too (170USD). It's okay, I guess, for people who have bigger budgets and don't want to cobble it together themselves, but as mr_me says, these extras aren't really needed. My latest cheap-o estimate for MiSTer is ~250 USD  (128MB RAM+DE10+cheap USB hub & heatsink/fan), this will play everything, and if you go with 32MB RAM you can get close to the 200USD mark and still be able to run 98% of the soft (only some bigger NeoGeo and CPS games need 128 MB atm). Big savings, which I quite appreciated and spent on other silly retro gaming stuff.Insert other media

This looks great, but yeah - I fear pricing is going to be a yikes.

Yeah, pricing will be a big point.  Granted, it is meant to get one into the MiSTer scene.  But, will just have to see how everything shakes out.

I'd like a MiSTer Multisystem with an included keyboard.

 

There's another FPGA-project slowly taking shape, which aims at creating a modern successor to the C64, which is called "Mega65". It says, the project is open-source. There had already been a DYI-kit of it, which had a nice compact keyboard. It looked like this. As I understand it, this case and keyboard design would be open-source too. The Mega65 is a nice project. But the product will be quite expensive (as I read), and focusses on its own system. I'd prefer a Multisystem, to run ZX Spectrum-, Atari 800XL-, Amiga 500 (1200)- and Mame-cores on it.

And have it all in an opaque (not transparent like in the picture) light grey case (C128 or A500-style), and a keyboard as shown. At a reasonable price. That would be ideal.
