The world's first affordable FPGA gaming console. Inspired by the PS one. Supports PS1 games, memory cards, and controllers. Analog/Digital output. NFC/WiFi/BT. MiSTer FPGA compatible. Disc support not pictured.

Pricing starts at $149 for founders and friends.

Base IO (the unit you see in this picture):

2 PSX controller ports, 2 PSX memory card ports, 1 YC for lightgun, Micro SD, 3 USB Type A, 1 Type C for power, HDMI, DIN10, VGA, Component, Composite, Ethernet, 3.5mm analog audio, and TOSLINK digital audio.

Expansion slot on bottom.

Very impressive. At 149$ it's a steal, and even up to 200$ or thereabouts I bet it will sell like hot cakes.

Really looking forward to seeing a finished product. Taki is really, really awful at naming his devices though, it is baffling.

Certainly this one is better named than MiSTer Pi.

So I guess...

PS One = R One
Megdrive = R Drive
Super Nintendo = R Super
etc...

Assuming he plans to make a separate one for each sytem.

If you look at the bottom of the image, the device is apparently named the "SS One". The "R" is the company logo (Retro Remake).

You are right. So it’s Sega Saturn One

Looks like it is only a code name and won’t be used as the name:

If its running Robert's core I hope he is getting a contribution for each one sold.

I see it as a customised Mister in the shape of Playstation. I certainly agree that the developers should see some benefit from all this, not only for this product but for all the vendors selling their own versions.

[Missus]

While that'd be great and all, is that how the core's code is licensed?

[rafael]

The core is licensed under GNU General Public License v2.0 (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/PSX_MiS ... in/LICENSE). This means it may be run for all purposes, including commercial purposes. This means that Taki Udon doesn't have any obligation to compensate the Devs actually.

[limi]

Does MisterAddons send money to Robert for each unit sold? Does UltimateMiSTer? How about MiSTerFPGA.co.uk? (although I’m sure they were all Patreon members at the time when he had an active one

This is not how it works. It’s all open source under GPL2. Anyone can build and sell a MiSTer setup, that’s the point.

[softtest9]

Many others have made MiSTer-related hardware without facing compensation demands. This "PSone" is a MiSTer in a sleek form factor and is not locked down in any way. It's looking really good and I might buy one.

[FPGA64]

Ah I see its also a Mister I thought it was just a PS

[dickhardpill]

I didn't read your comment as demanding they get compensation

Yeah I dont think anyone is making demands, but the suggestion goes against the licensing requirements.

So while it'd be nice (and honestly, i think he does deserve... something) Robert knows how he licensed his own code.

And that makes him a legend in its own right!

TimeExtension has an interview with Taki Udon regarding this and upcoming projects. Apparently, a cartridge-based one is also in the pipeline. And the handheld is still a thing.
