Un fantástico proyecto felicidades.

I wished I watched this video before. I was using the snac adapter directly without the level shifter, I didn't use it a lot but I wonder if I damaged the board doing that

Un proyecto muy chulo, gracias por compartirlo.❤

Cost of parts for a complete unit is about $65. If you buy a pre-packaged kit, they are $100-$125.

As person who has made a ton of such integrations on various consoles and DIY projects, hands down to what you have created here. I really appreciate all the work you've put into this creation. Excellent tutorial video, too. Instant sub from me.

Good video! Another thing to remember is that many more people use software emulators and therefore more bug reports are sent to the developers, who can fix them. Even if theoretically an FPGA should have higher compatibility, the best software emulator is always better than the best fpga for the respective system because of that. That's my experience at least.

Is there any chance on the v2 case that you could use brass inserts for holding the screws in place?

Why couldn't the I/O board have two serial ports so that two players could play, for example? What's the problem with regular snacs that only exist for the Playstation 1 with an input for two controllers and a light gun. Why don't other snac adapters do this? There would be no need for this blister

Hey, this is really amazing! I was wondering if you've considered using a more readily-available SNES-like USB gamepad (such as the Buffalo ones) for the build instead of an original? Having to use oldstock is a bit unfortunate, not to mention the extra steps with the microcontroller.

The link to the machine vise is corrupted, instead of thingiverse you put thingverse which is a phishing website. Other than that good job mate great work

8:28 u are gonna get sued for using that logo

Nice project and a very well made video too.

This is a touch too technical for me but I'm just here to comment that I loved watching you build your own Handheld MiSTer. I really look forward to your next video on your Handheld MiSTer Model 2! P.S. For your future build, is there anyway to create a Handheld MiSTer dock similar to Steam Deck docks and then somehow make the Handheld MiSTer do TV out? 🙄

Does anyone know if MiSTer supports RetroAchievements ?

I liked the video as fast as I could!

To be honest, I'm never gonna make one but it was a great watch. I cannot imagine how much time you spent on both the project, and the video tutorial ! Thanks !!

Awesome guide! Not adding hdmi out might be a missed opportunity for the mister ❤

There is making something work, and then there is making something that works. This is amazing CAD and design work, Ken. I am more interested in making this just because of your case/inserts than I am to have a portable MiSTer, lol. This is a seriously well designed handheld and the execution of build is spot on. I know it is rev 1, and it will be built upon, but like I said in my last comment (previous video). This is the one that is starting it all!

Please keep the cool TapTo reader in Version 2!

❤❤❤

ZOMG so excited for this one

is it possible for the FPGA board to change into ARM architecture instead? given android can run on arm while providing emulators for games, and perhaps more energy efficient than x86 with linux or windows

Regarding the charging dropout, it sounds like you need a board with proper power path management.

just wondering, is fpga emulation more power efficient than software emulation or the opposite?

This guide is so well made, thanks for sharing

Looking forward to watching this after I watched your previous video on a handheld mister. Great vids! BTW Can you tell me more about your ring?

the board is sold out. Is there any similar clone we could potentially buy instead?

I must admit, that balance is real impressive

this is so cool. I only load a handful of games on the MiSTer, this would be much less annoying than going through the menu each time. The keyboard function is cool too. Love the idea of making a card for a credit insert.

This is so awesome ❤❤❤

All this time, and I didn't realize I needed the mini-b to a connected to the IO port... well, at least now I know I can't leave my MT32 Pi attached when using original LL controllers. Thanks so much!!

Excelente, salve para Brazil

I'd pick the QMtech one. You can buy one right now. De10 one is discontinued and likely marked up in price as a result, and the Mister Pi which sounds like a Raspberry Pi, is almost never in stock. Which leaves you with the QMtech one as the only logical option. It's cheaper and readily available.

Thanks Wizzo & Ken!

Great job!

That’s great! I’ve made Picomputer Max, but this version is better, nevertheless main PCB is no loger on PCBway? “Error” is shown on main project site.

I am loving this series. Wish there was something SEGA like it. Growing up in Brazil, Master System was bigger than the NES.

I wonder if the GBA SP would fit into a Game Boy Pocket, that would be even cooler I feel like, though the L and R triggers will be problematic then I guess.

A test comparison between normal usb hub vs snac vs blister will be nice

I have printed a lot of NFC cards for Amiga games only to find that as I have a MegaAGS image installed, the cards just load the MegaAGS Menu rather than the game... is there a way around this without removing AGS?

You marked the word pre-assembled. And yes! This kit is now pre-assembled. What you are showing is the first batch which needs to be assembled by user

No good for MiSTer Pi so I am out of here.

What about multicore/multithread CPUs? Having individual threads/cores emulate individual chips sounds like it should work

I wonder if a portable mister with a mini crt is possible.

This is so cool. I'd be more inspired to do it myself if I knew more about soldering, cutting wires, & 3D printing.

Ken where is the analog stick?

I wish I knew how to make a card reader for the ds

Would be cool to see something like this eventually with the refinement and dimensions of a retroid pocket 5

Awesome project, even for an initial design, you pretty much hit home with this one, and nailed most of the problems already.
