Here's my  MiSTer FPGA presentation from LinusFest Northwest 2025.  Enjoy!

More info about the Multisystem 2 came out shortly after the conference so I thought I'd mention it in a comment here. They have announced the pricing, set an expected shipment date (August 10th, 2025) and started taking pre-orders. I got my pre-order in and am really looking forward to it arriving. 

They also put out a rather lengthy video going over the hardware (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e-k9I94JLs) and mentioned how they took a number of not-used-for-useful-stuff pins from the Terasic DE10-Nano and repurposed them for more I/O connections that can now be used for useful stuff. One example was that the large connector on the right side of the board could be used for a sidecar type board for such things as connecting original game carts. I would totally love to see such a thing. 

I didn't order that screen enclosure thing yet but I'm definitely thinking about it. I do want all of those carts too... but I think I need to save up some money first.
