Dont forget MISTER.

Isn't that basically...hardware accurate "all of them?"

For stealth and tactile reasons I'm putting mine with a MISTress 1200 into a 1200 case/keyboard combo...but how cool would MISTer be in a A1000 case!

Starcat mentioned Altair 8800. ... Ooh

And there are lots of custom home brews too, mostly running CP/M.

And fo giggles I used PCTask to run dogs To run Emulators several deep to run CP/M.

I recently built an IMSAI 8080 as image (I will also do a Cromenco kit soon as I get around to that and buy the kit) Cloan, and using the RS232 port with Termite on my '060 A1500 Cybergafix 64 ... As the terminal for the IMSAI, spot on. Real Amiga Hardware with Real (albeit a cloan) IMSAI running CP/M AND Super calc... Yay

“Hardware accurate” is unfortunately not the case for many of the supported platforms. Many of the cores are based off MAME and the platform they used just doesn’t have enough memory interfaces for accurate emulation. Off the top of my head, the X68000 and several high profile arcade machines (namely the GP9001-based ones but plenty of others) have all sorts of weird problems, some subtle and some less so.

@UD2, makes sense. But boy...is the community making constant improvements. And between the SNACs, awesome no-latency and quality video output from all the cores - it's quite an efficient tiny little retro rig. And those mad-geniuses at 8bit4ever allow it to be cleanly in an original Amiga case? Dare I say...retro perfection to have nearly the entire retro world inside an Amiga. ...of course that's just me.

Beside a Sport Almanac, I'd snatch a MISTer setup in my DeLorean trip from 1986 to today. Oh no! I couldn't do core updates!

I'm looking forward to the updated Ultmate 64 Elite. Also another shout out for MiSTer, so much coverage with computers, arcade machines, and consoles in one setup.
