[FPGA] MiSTeryNano

This is an ST/E FPGA implementation on Tang Nano 20k FPGA board , 'cheap' as chips hah (ok not exactly... sort of)

The core runs on other boards as well : Tang Primer 25k and Tang Mega 138k  (more expensive options, esp as you need extra RAM/SD etc modules for them.)

Project on github


[update after a lot of tests]

CONS

- current dock no THT, ordering a ready one (SMT) will increase the total cost to about £80 (more or less the half price of MiST)

- The M0S dock may function with certain mouse/keyboard/hubs

- USB compatibility (upd. 29 APR '24)

  • Trust wireless MSE/KBD : only keyboard works
  • HAMA wireless MSE/KBD: only keyboard works
  • Logitech wired KBD + wired logi MSE : mouse bit fast, keyboard OK
  • Logitech wired KBD + Logi wireless MSE: mouse does not work.
  • Logitech wireless K400+ (combo): both work fine

Good project anyway, there is also SNESNES, Amiga, C64 cores \o/  

(yeah Till Harbaum rulez !)

  1. Interesting project. Initially, I thought the total cost would be under $50. However, without the dock, the benefits are not significant. The total cost is only half of some higher-quality FPGA boards that can run MiSTer cores, like SiDi. I'll pass on that!
