Wow, fantastic news.

Congratulations to all involved and thank you.

I am not the first who does that, but I want to show you my mods.

That's great work. Fits so well into the shell of a dead PlayStation.

A short extension on the SD card could be useful inside the CD lid.

You can also get the USER port directly connected up to the from console ports and memory card adaptors.

Heh, I just came to the same conclusion. Looking at the manual pdf it doesn't really give enough info about this, it just says look at the picture and that fan is completely different colour and the cables come out differently. I went with my instinct to have air blowing in, since that's what you'd do on a PC case (positive pressure into the case ...

Late to the party, but oh my goodness, what a fantastic, sleek design for this thing. I feel like the MultiSystem looks like a real console from back in the day from an alternate reality. Double thumbs up from me! What would really sell me on this would be an injection molded version! That'd truly be incredible! Thanks for the positive vibes and I...

The 30mm fan was fitted with the label facing inwards (ie, blowing air towards the DE10). I could make a video and post it somewhere if that helps, I'm on signal (don't use whatsapp). I'm going to try it again now. Yea, that explains the noise. It's the wrong way around - you need to have the fan fitted so it's drawing air across the DE10-nano and...

I would disagree that the 30mm fan is quiet, both of the systems we built yesterday with the new enclosure and parts have terrible noisy/whinny fans that change speed so the whine is even more noticeable, and that was on 3.3v. I put my Noctua 40mm in (with the back half of the lid off) and that one is so quiet even at 5v. Maybe 2 types of 30mm fan...

Can someone verify that the VGA output on the Multisystem is the same as the one on the Mister IO board? We will be getting that alternative VGA to scart cable today and will be trying it on a Mister stack with IO board for comparison, but would also like to test it in the Multisystem itself. I've tried a few more arcade roms now and am seeing the...

Just watched the video and one thing I am not too keen on is how the SCART placement was changed. Now I admit, I am mostly going to be using HDMI, but I wanted the SCART available too and I was figuring to just use a cover over the top port when I was not using it, mainly because I didn't like the idea of having a thick SCART cable with it's large...

… But this version uses a genuine PlayStation front panel so also includes the cartridge ports and with the Multisystem we can switch to output 3.3v so there is no need for a voltage regulator. Thanks for the link! Is your Adapter working with a normal IO Board 6.1/1.2? If yes, could you share some connection details. Yes, It would work with the n...

But this version uses a genuine PlayStation front panel so also includes the cartridge ports My feeling is the ethos of MiSTer is about preservation, not canabilization of original hardware. If people have faulty playstation 1 consoles give the choice to them for use their ports to build one, but knowing these are only available as original parts,...

A few more images of the SNAC-BOX PSX (for the Multisystem USER Port). Is this something people would like to see made available, or just a set of instructions to make your own? - or both? This can read two physical memory cards, and works with light guns, PSX mouse, rumble pads / shock feedback/recoil etc. and the Multitap 4 port adaptor. PSX_SNAC...

Sure, there is a design for the new PSX SNAC from Blue212 - https://github.com/blue212/SNAC-PSX But this version uses a genuine PlayStation front panel so also includes the cartridge ports and with the Multisystem we can switch to output 3.3v so there is no need for a voltage regulator. Here is a slightly updated prototype of the PSX SNAC-Box for t...

Hi Rich, I asked a while back, see here the twitter link below so it is indeed expected at some point. https://twitter.com/AzumFpg/status/1466436886843596806 We made up a very quick (hacked) PSX SNAC interface for the Multisystem User port - it's all working quite well in the new PSX Core that now supports direct PlayStation controllers via SNAC. ...

And finally - the inspiration for the design - the wonderful Atari Lynx

(Lynx 1 and 2 for scale)

And for the history -

The Version 2 (rounded prototype) along with the revised V3 rectangular prototype V3

Hi Everyone, We have a handheld prototype MiSTer and would like any feedback from the community on this idea - Would you like to see this (refined version) available as a 100% compatible MiSTer portable platform.

Perfect, thanks Nat. I'll keep an eye on the progress.

Hi Everyone, Do we have a SNAC connector interface design for the PSX wired controller, if not does anyone know if this likely to be implemented with the PSX core? - I would be very happy to do a SNAC design for the PSX controller if a pinout has been defined or planned - or if it's already in progress can someone point me in the right direction. T...

Is this a MT32-pi Cartridge? If yes, is this the final position for the little MT32 display? This image was just the prototype PCB, so not yet completed the final, style, shape and functions yet. I'll pop up more images when we have a completed design. - all feedback is highly appreciated, many thanks. Do you get a 'low voltage' warning on the MT-...

I think the new case design looks more practical but doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing as the one before. Is the 30mm fan audible ? That would be a deal-breaker for me. My current Mister stack is completely inaudible with the 40mm Noctua fan. Have you tested how hot the DE10 gets with the smaller fan? Yes. It's a low speed 30mm fan that can s...

Tried external power to the Pi, no luck. Here's a picture Do check that the USB3.0 cable is wired correctly - if you are using adaptors/gender-changers etc. you may find that the cable TX- TX+ and RX- RX+ are not being swapped - See the GitHub page notes on USB 3.0 Cables for the USER port connections on MiSTer - https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Ha...

I just watched the video about the new case from YouTube. The upgrade looks good and it's definitely the way to go if you don't have a case yet. Do you think that the owners of the original case should also upgrade? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKfKn7orkYc The original classic case is perfectly good to use for as long as you wish. This new revi...

We will also have Cartridges and various other expansion add-on's this year. This is the Pi cartridge about to go into production, with others in various prototype stages.

Interested in any feedback / questions on the new V5 Enclosure design -
It has tonnes of quality of life updates, easier to print, virtually no support material and clean print finish -

Hi Everyone, Quick update (not an April fool) - The revised / Evolved 3D printed enclosure design for the MiSTer Multusystem is now fully published up on Printables.com - https://www.printables.com/model/159379-mister-multisystem-v5-2022-classic-gaming-console-/files If you have any questions about the files or design changes, just let me know - ha...

Thank you, I like all of those suggestions. watch this space... Yes, we are working on expansion 'cartridges' for the Multisystem, and also other electronics for the Multisystem/MiSTer family. Mt32Pi 'cartridge' modules is first on the list after the recent poll. We have lots of 'ugly' prototypes :) - when they start to look nicer, I will post some...

Hmmm never received an email. Order said expected to ship end of November. I'll shoot them an email to see if there is a status thanks. Do check with The Retro Group. They are shipping as fast as possible, all the board only shipments went out in just a few days. If you ordered a cased system or deluxe kit it will most probably depend slightly on ...
