He figured it would not only make development more straightforward but cheaper, and he eventually settled on Terasic's DE10-Nano which is built around the Intel SoC FPGA.
[8] In 2024, YouTuber Taki Udon released a lower-cost clone of the MiSTer using an Altera Cyclone V FPGA-based board that is less expensive than the DE10 Nano.
[9] The MiSTer project revolves around a general-purpose printed circuit board by Terasic called the DE10-Nano, which incorporates a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
Each core is designed to configure the FPGA into a specific computer, (handheld) game console, or arcade system board.
