I bought the DE-10 Nano a couple of weeks ago after browsing the MiSTer forum here. For those that don't know what this is, it's an FPGA that a community has developed cores for 16-bit and older gaming consoles and computers, as well as arcade machines. Since it's FPGA, it's more Analogue than RetroPie and simulates the hardware as opposed to software emulation so it should be exactly the same experience (at least gaming-wise, certainly not nostalgia-wise) as the actual hardware. I had a pre-order of an NT Mini and in the meantime heard about the MiSTer and jumped on board at less than half the price of the NT Mini but with every major console from about 1995 and older (plus a ton of old computer cores). Running Neo-Geo on a hardware emulation is something else, even after all these years. Lots of arcade boards have been uploaded as well.

Just wondering if anyone else here has jumped in, and if so what your setups are. I'm using a USB adapter to use my SNES controllers and am just running on my HDTV for now but am thinking about a PVM or putting the thing in an arcade cabinet...
