[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 SNES,  NES, Amiga, C64 cores \o/  

(yeah Till Harbaum rulez !)

 

[Atari STE] Suska-III-B

Interesting FPGA Atari STE clone, in fact a WIP project, def not a PnP device

/!\ HAS BUGS (see below)  - my advise so far: NOT recommended to buy!

This is not like MiST/MiSTer/Minimig etc FPGA :

* Project DEAD , stopped, probably will move on github.

* Just one "core" is loaded , you will need to re-program the FPGA (via cable)

currently supports 68000/68010 and I think 68030L (L=Lite no MMU/FPU)

* lack of OSD (to control eg scanlines, ROM, HDD)

* support for (virtual) floppies is way primitive : dd the floppy image on a specific location of the SD card - only 2 images / time (drive A + B) 

* You can't access the HD partition under Linux (big minus there) , I managed it with an ... XP box .. lolz

 This device has serious BUGS (will update if/when fixed)

- Works better with EmuTOS , on other TOS (eg 2.06) bombs and/or freezes

- Some games (goldrunner) have broken gfx

- RTC clock does not work 

- miniUSB power socket that is not supported properly == NOT good news ( fragile!)

- User Manual -> unacceptable

- Support ->  AVERAGE
