Can Smaller Cyclone V 5CSEBA2/4 fit the Mister Design?
This is because the 5CSEBA6 is incredibly expensive. I don't know how Terasic can get such a good price from Intel to make the DE10-Nano sale price at 99$.

Please tell me where I can obtain one for $99? I need a 2nd one, so if they're $99 somewhere, I need to jump on that!

Marketing co-payment dollars. And the DE10-Nano is $130US...

Intel heavily subsidizes the price of the DE10 Nano. Without subsidization, it would likely be $300+ as the 5CXEBA6U23I7NDK Cyclone V FPGA chip alone costs about $250 in single units.

Somebody did port MiSTer to the DE0-Nano which has a Cyclone IV. Last update was over a year ago.
