Level 4 of shipments for the Multisystem2 Arcade has been completed. We are now shipping Level 5 - orders #25001 - #27000. We’re currently manufacturing a new batch of Multisystem2 Arcade to meet the demand for pre-orders. Thank you for all your support. shop.heber.co.uk/multisystem2...

We have another Multisystem2 Pocket development update for you all. Lots of news to share.

Event: www.retrocollective.co.uk/view-event.p... Join Richard Hewison for a day of Rainbird and Beyond Software memories. Richard will share his experience working for these beloved publishers as well as findings made in researching for his book "Memories of Rainbird & Beyond Software".

Video: youtu.be/Hk8L_XE-t7I Let's continue to restore the #Commodore SX-64 in our Trash to Treasure series.

We are filming a Multisystem2 Pocket development update tomorrow. (The #MiSTerFPGA Handheld) If you have any questions we can answer as part of the update, let me know. We had a good day EMC approval testing today, more info in the next video.

Thanks to Kitrinx we have a nice new NeoGeo Pocket Color core for #MiSTerFPGA And it’s running great on the Multisystem2 Pocket

New Video: youtu.be/2SJFOodyLn4 Perfect to watch while eating cheese on toast.

A few new (old) physical pickups. Looking forward to trying Pirates for the PSP. No idea about Henry Hatsworth?, but it looked fun. Could not resist Bangles & De La Soul at the local charity shop.

First batch shipments of our Multisystem2 Arcade (JAMMA) systems will start next week. For pre-orders, Batch 1 information and shipment details can be found on our Blog post update here - shop.heber.co.uk/blog-news/mu...

A supporter sent us a wonderful hand made knitted Orco, to go with our MOTU Arcade Cabinet. Thank you so much Emma, we will take good care of him 💝

Industrial design is progressing well. We have a few more details to add and change, but we should have prototype enclosure shells to test out in the next couple of weeks.

I think the Dual GBA 2 player core looks pretty great with both player screens stacked together. This is two independent GBA cores running together on the FPGA for 2 player linked games.

Another very successful day of prototype testing today. We completed testing the docking station and everything works perfectly. We now have a charge and I/O dock for the Pocket MiSTer that also has lots of cool features too. More details soon, you are going to love it.

If you have the option to play the exact correct screen ratio or just a tiny stretch to fill a 1:1 screen, what are you choosing? Check out Truxton II (Arcade) vertical shooter and you decide…

Don’t all hate me but I love the way Gauntlet II (Arcade) looks when it’s pushed to 1:1 full screen rather than 4:3 aspect. Don’t worry, the Pocket fully supports running at correct ratio too, but it’s quite cool to see that just a little stretch on Arcade games.

Really happy with the low power usage on the MiSTerFPGA Handheld electronics now. We are using just 3.5watts running Doom on the Ao486 Core. That must be the lowest power MiSTer (Cyclone5) ever. No fan or Heatsink needed. #Multisystem2 Pocket

Handheld MiSTer testing has gone well this week. 2 x 21700 Battery cells and life is looking around 10 to 11 hours on the PlayStation Core. The Gameboy is looking like 12 Hours. Zaparoo front end is looking really good too.

We have reached a significant milestone in the Handheld MiSTerFPGA (Pocket) project. It’s working! StarWars (Vector Arcade) running on the first issue prototype. More updates soon.

Spotted this wonderful machine at the table sale today…

I’m finishing the weekend with a blast from the past. Not had Angel Delight for well over 30 years… It’s not as you remember, but still gets 7/10 on the Nostalgia scale. 😊 Use just 200ml of chilled milk instead of the 300ml it recommends. 👍

Picked up two games from CEX. There are a huge number of physical games out there to enjoy from the past 50+ years. Looking forward to playing these.

Lots of Pocket development updates to share with you all in the new Video.

The AI induced RAM shortage & price increases are getting very serious now and the future only shows further increases. Long delays for component orders and constant price rises. Its affecting the entire electronics sector.

This was a super fun custom #Arcade machine build. It’s the cabinet we all wanted to see in 1986! youtube.com/watch?v=d_gR...

What a wonderful day! Thank you to Hermann, Pamela and all of our visitors who shared such a special occasion with us. A video of the talk will be on our channel soon.
