Chinese modder TZMWX is working on a portable MiSTer console – but the catch is that it will most likely be a one-off.
TZMWX is the talent behind the portable Saturn we covered not so long ago, and over the past month has been experimenting with MiSTer gear in order to produce a handheld variant of the FPGA platform.
He's been looking at ways of streamlining the internal components so they can fit into the smallest space possible and has just twinned the MiSTer with a 5-inch, 640x480 pixel screen, as well as a 3D-printed case.
While TZMWX's MiSTer won't be for commercial production, fellow modder Taki Udon is hard at work on a handheld version that will be sold alongside various other MiSTer-related products.

I am all for these. Even just a one off, I hope this community keeps growing. My late 90s Win 98 machine could die at any time and I am too afraid to spend the money on a mid 90s Macintosh like I had in my childhood home, as those are dying too. As long as these projects keep chugging along and FPGAs are still being developed for various reasons, there is hope there will be one soon, powerful enough to run those 90s operating systems and replace full retail systems of the early Pentium and PowerPC era.
The only market for there is for suckers like the above comment that do t realize emlulation exists. I can play all Saturn games on my phone if I want. Some halfass handheld made by some guy doesn't preserve anything but his bank account. What a joke.
