Looks cool with 4k upscaling support. We'll have to see about price, since we have the Mister and the upcoming Mars to compare it to.

Given it’s very niche and doesn’t play ROMs, I guess $200.

FPGAs can get pretty expensive. I'd say $300+

[–] darkghosthunter@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dunno about that. Last time I checked it would depend also on the volume. How much would cost this FPGA alone around 1000 units.

[–] WalrusByte@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that makes sense

[–] v1605@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed, even with the eventual "jailbreak" it would have to be priced around that. I think it will be more expensive since the N64 core is pretty large and it is supposed to support 4k.
