Message: [QUOTE="newageretrohippie, post: 104527, member: 72847"] that's another reason i like them too. when i first started messing around with mister, it's because i was thinking it would be fun to design some newage retro (heh) hardware.... so far i *haven't* done that, because ever time i pick up an fpga and plug it in, i just start playing games. (that's a reason, not an excuse :D) Like something with hardware sprites and a graphics mode with no framebuffer, but maybe with a hardware based particle sprite system and some other features that would be cool but never really existed before... yeah, those things have come a long way... like i used to buy a few of them here and there, but so many of them were trash. there are some decent ones these days, but you either have to shell out for an Odin (at that point, just get a steam deck or an Ally), or deal with the dodgy quality control of Anbernic... I really liked my Anbernic Arc D... but then it died... so i flipped a bezos on it (that is i bought a new one on amazon and sent back the old one as the new one... don't tell anybody)... but then i just never got into playing the replacement... (and the SD cards that came with it have already stopped working). I said "LOL" out loud at this! well, that's the thing, for several years, de-10 nano was like $120 shipped with Amazon prime. At that price (especially 5-10 years ago) it was a pretty good value, and it blew away most everything else at that price point. but in the last couple years intel jacked up the price and made it less available online, so then the fomo scalpers jacked up the price even more. There is no way the list price should be $230, (when a small time indie production run was only $95 for slightly UPgraded design)... and then you see people charging $300+ just because most folks don't know about legit electronics suppliers... now that's just lame, and it's bad for the scene... again, you are prolly better off getting a steam deck or a little minisforum box or something like that. I know I certainly enjoy it! [/QUOTE]
