I love the idea of these consoles but Analogue tries to pretend that these are unobtainium so the chances of being able to buy one are pretty slim... unless you want to deal with scalpers on eBay...
My recommendation is to look at a MiSTer system, still pretty expensive but the community is great and it supports a lot of retro systems.
Interested in seeing the price point and what the final featureset is. An article seemed to list some pretty hard to accomplish features (savestates), but Analogue doesn't appear to be advertising it, which is odd.
I really wish we got openFPGA here, as I'd love to have access to those additional resources. Hopefully they produce some kind of home console that allows third party use.
OpenFPGA was such a great move. The pocket is such a great value being portable, great battery life, and similar functionality to a Mister without the price tag.
Seeing the OpenFPGA platform not showing up on their other hardware is very strange and confusing. Hopefully this does get access to it eventually.
Also thank you for all your work in porting & dev on cores! I get endless enjoyment out of it!
I think what I'm most interested in here is using their controller. The only alternative design n64 controllers I've used that didn't feel terrible were the Brawler64 and Hori.
Everything that uses an FPGA pretty much falls into using that "no emulation" language instead of "no software emulation". It's annoying but they'll never stop.

"No SOFTWARE emulation" maybe...
Maybe if they don't like emulation we can use that terminology instead?
