Users can further customize their TapTo setup with more actions and devices with this driver.
Alternate DE10 Nano & MiSTer Consoles
Taki Udon said the the mainstream version of the MiSTer Console has finished the industrial design phase and some 3d rendered teaser images were shown. The images show that it will at least have component, composite, USB-C power and 2 USB-A ports.
There was also another post about the DE10 Nano alternative. The board and all of the kit components are now in mass production. This includes the main board, USB hub, 9.2 analog IO board, and SDRAM.
Pricing is as follows:
MiSTer Board = under $99
Board + 128MB RAM kit = under $115
Board + 128MB RAM + USB hub + 9.2 analog IO = $145-$160 (Taki will know for sure soon)
