Looks cool with 4k upscaling support. We’ll have to see about price, since we have the Mister and the upcoming Mars to compare it to.

    Ehh it’s still very high. What you have to do with an analogue system to take advantage of the open fpga stuff is already too complex tbh.

    It’s easy to forget how difficult this stuff can be when you are knowledgeable on it. I used to be a developer on a very popular Linux distribution, and we dealt with this a lot. People have enough going on in their lives without having to understand how this stuff works.

    That’s why the analogue systems are so great, legitimately plug and play all your old games. If you wanna do more, mister is there and so is a 4 hour mlig video about how to do things with it

      This is SO true, when I rediscovered retro emulation a couple years ago Retroarch was an impossible-to-navigate mess. Now I know it very well but I try to remind myself that a lot of non commercial software is not at all obvious to many newcomers.
