Meanwhile the ongoing Taki scam dwarfs this project. When are we going to get an article about mister pi batch 3 and his switch OLED with hdmi not shipping?
Taki currently hasn’t fulfilled a pre-order on his switch OLED screens with HDMI that were supposed to deliver in November
Stopped selling MiSTer Pi and from what I’ve heard, hasn’t completely fulfilled the 2nd and 3rd batches.
Dropped Paypal because its “too expensive” and has now fully gone to a pre-order model that doesn’t have any buyer protections other than what your credit card offers. Everything I see is max 180 days protection.
Which is a problem because we’re looking at almost a full year pre-order for a “console” that has a bunch of “features” that the mister developers know is technically impossible
This year long pre-order is being done by a Chinese seller under an alias, who nobody knows the actual identity of, and after 180 days your money is as good as his.
Before MiSTer, Taki was best known for making loads of false claims. Most notably claiming that he completely designed the software and hardware for one of retroid’s handhelds, the Retroid Pocket 3+, which turned out to be a total lie. I can’t even list all the ridiculous lies and claims on the Twitter handle; it would take forever.
@FPGAguru Nearly every pcb you’re going to find in the world is going to use components from many different vendors. The idea that you never own the pcb design if you source parts from other companies is totally laughable.
And so much of what you said is just blatantly false. If Terasic isn’t a stakeholder in the project, why is the MiSTer development team insinuating that the next iteration of MiSTer will be on a Terasic FPGA development board?
Maybe Damien should get a statement from Terasic to clear the air about what their place is in the MiSTer ecosystem and if they feel this product violates their IP? I think the answer will be very interesting.
I’m still failing to see what the love affair is with this guy. He took a MiSTer and put it in an injected molded case. Cool looking case but….that’s what it is.
I also can’t see how someone stealing Terasic’s IP and then fellating himself for months on the internet about it is good for the long-term viability of the MiSTer project. It’s kind of alarming that no one has brought up that this charade has spit in the face of a major stakeholder in the MiSTer project, the people who made the hardware in the first place. After getting burned, good luck with them making affordable hardware widely available in what could have been the next step in the project.
And imagine being Robert Piep, spending countless hours putting this core together, only for some guy to sign his name on a plastic shell with your core running it and call it “the Founders Edition”. Pretty tacky.

Let’s discuss the facts
