Great explanation without the BS as usual, I've been following the NESTang and SNESTang projects since about 6 months but haven't decided to pull the trigger on the Sipeed Tang Primer 25K till now, as far as I know yours is probably one of the few KZread channels that somehow has uploaded a complete video about how the board works.

I second that, great tutorial and I’ve been looking for someone to break this down whilst I decide to pull the trigger on a purchase

Who'da thought I'd be playing SNES games on a credit card in the future!? This is wild. Great vid and explanation!

Wow this looks awesome! Thanks for the video! If SNES can work on it, then I'm guessing that Genesis would be possible, too... as well as the majority of 8-bit systems. This has the potential to be a really affordable FPGA competitor to the MiSTer.

fpga competition hype levels... RISING

This will be my first dive into the world of FPGA gaming. And it is nice to see/hear how you encourage your viewers to support the devs. Thank you for this video!

nice unit

I think I'll just stick with my SNES. Looks neat though.

Appreciate your no nonsense approach.

We are Level 2 Online!!

Aye, great start to 2024!

Great idea for those solely interested in fpga Super Nintendo.

Great video! Once the cores mature some more, this could be an interesting potential for handhelds. It would be awesome to have a cheap option for FPGA gaming on the go!

A very cool start indeed.

I saw a KZread Notice; I thought you were gonna live stream this 😂

Very cool! I like how it's got an adapter for actual SNES controllers.

Oooh 5v? Handheld fpga diy coming maybe.

As a MiSTer user, this device looks very intriguing. I hope eventually there is a module to plug this into a CRT some day, and more cores/controller modules for other consoles.

Thank you for your review! we will make gaming handheld this year, make it more easier to use

Ah wait.. if you only use Tang Nano 20k, then you don't need microSD + HDMI extension.

This would be perfect if someone put this in raspberry pi format, 3 specifically, so it would go into a Retroflag SNES case. Maybe have a Tapto reader in it and put NFC stickers in the carts Retroflag sells with they system.

Interesting project, looking forward to the handhelds.

Awsome Video! Going to try this out. Looks so promising. I wanted to do the Mister project, but the Mister community is so full of themselves that it put me off. It's one of the worst communities out there. This looks like it will help more people get into FPGA gaming. I hope the community for this won't suffer the same as the Mister one.

Do you know if they are going to support actual SNES controllers for this? Assuming it's a case of a new PCB board with 2x SNES ports, and then the FPGA core working with them. There's no info about if that is going to be a future goal?

I kind of want one of these just so I can design a tiny 3d printed snes shell lol

It's the size of the MisTer in the end with all addons... not very sold on this and the price.

what's the total all-in cost on a mister setup? de-10 and the RAM etc that would be similar to snestang? @@level1online

Those messed up sound effects bring me back to the early days of SNES emulation. I remember lots of little quirks in many games when I played them back in the day on snes9x and zsnes.

I like the SNES a lot and consider it being one of my favorite systems to play on. Analouge's solutions are polished but way to expensive for my pocket but this looks fine despite the beta software this runs on.

This is super cool but maybe lose a lot of it's charm when the $99 Mister clone comes out

Yeah I seen the recent chatter. Sipeed seems like a great company, I'm keeping tabs on them to see how they plan to stay competitive once the $99 mister comes out.

Which version of SNESTang? Make sure you are using the latest. If the latest doesn't work try the version before that. If no version works, it might be a bad sd card reader.

Close to 100€ delivered to Germany. Already got the Pocket and 2 MiSTers so I'll pass. Nice project though.
