It's a system accurate enough that fighting game fans have begun using it in their tournament setups, and even the famously autistic speedrunner community can't tell the difference in blind testing.
And you get all that performance and versatility for like $300-400.

Yeah a raspberri pi with MAME can play these games too for $50, but the difference is that these emulation cores can promise to be cycle accurate. The only thing better would be buying up all of these original consoles along with flashcarts/ODEs, and I don't know if you checked the price of a neo geo lately but you wont be getting very far with $300.

Fuck it, I'm just gonna buy an everdrive on Black Friday. Shame my N64 isn't modded for deblur (just RGB), but the hell with it- I can get any scaler with an integrated SLG and it'll still look better than on Switch.

PSX is confirmed basically working on a dev platform that is less powerful than the DE10 - however the primary developer has apparently quit due to community drama and no one (trustworthy) has picked up the mantle. The former may come back to it eventually, and there's someone else who may also take over, but for now all work has ground to a halt.
Saturn core is still in active development and the most recent update shows it booting the BIOS.

Chances are we'll see both finished within 12-18 months, but regardless there's definitely life in the old MiSTer yet.

Is there any reason to get this if I have a GameCube with a GB Player (plus Swiss and GBI)?

Thanks to everyone who responded.
Looks like it might not be viable to sell everything I have, but it may be worth flogging certain bits like the GameCube w/ component cables and the extra CRT.

Also it looks like I might be booking a flight to Thailand. I had considered it in the past, but was turned off by some horror stories I read on Whirlpool/etc., but it's a gamble that could save me a lot of money and one I probably need to take.

I need to sell off most of my retro collection, including my spare PVM, due to healthcare expenses.
I figure I'll build a cheap mini-ITX PC capable of emulating everything up to Wii/PS2, and run everything through a downscaler to my BVM. I know there are special video cards and software you can use for the same purpose, but I'd prefer a more robust solution.

Would, that I had 4 friends.
Also a Hori Mini alone would cost like half of an Everdrive.

Any Ausfags know where to go about picking up a broadcast monitor locally, or really anything that supports RGB?
Lucked into a BVM a few years ago but my room-mate spilled water on it and now I need a replacement; however I've no idea where to start looking now, and obvious places like eBay/gumtree are barren.
