"exact" is still in quotation marks because things like open bus behavior still have to be explicitly simulated. It's still a very accurate simulator, not an exact replica - much more accurate than most fast software simulators can be, though.
replyDo note that this very cool project does not run on the "default" MiSTer hardware. This board is $250 from AMD.
replyIt's been awhile, but I believe the "default" MiSTer board is the DE10-Nano[0], which was released ~10-15 years ago?
replyLooks like Intel (prev Terasic) is still selling them but they're now around $300, they used to be under $150 if memory serves.
If I were jumping into this today, I'd prefer the much more powerful KV260[1] from the blog post over the DE10-Nano, that board was limited!

Sidenote: somewhat sad to see the consolidation into Intel and AMD, but FPGAs have always been second class citizens in the silicon space :(
Does mister work with kv260 boards "out of the box" or is the official mister target a de10 nano? (I love my mister, assembled oneba few years ago). I don't follow the project closely due to zero free time these days
replyDamn there is a whole ecosystem around that, e.g. https://ultimatemister.com to buy it all built, very neat.
replyBoth require having an understanding of what you are trying to emulate. There are systems which don't have an accurate specification so they are not implemented bug free.
