The Heber MiSTer Multisystem2 Analogue is a fully featured FPGA based Retro gaming console system that runs the MiSTer FPGA project.

The Multisystem2 Analogue, includes all available I/O and expansion options both HDMI and various Analogue video outputs.

This is an open pre-order listing - you can pre-order now and get a place in the shipping queue. We are working through all pre-orders, shipping in order number priority sequence as quickly as possible. We regularly provide shipping updates on our blog

The Multisystem2 user manual can be found here. We recommend having a look through before you receive your order.  

What you will receive:

• A fully assembled Multisystem2 FPGA Analogue console system - including a high-quality 3D printed black enclosure

Extras you will need for your Multisystem2:

• An SD Card - for the software setup and game storage - 32GB or higher is recommended (see the manual for further specifications)
• A 5V Power Supply Unit – we recommend the 5V 4A Meanwell PSU available in our store (see the manual for further specifications).
• If purchasing our PSU, you will also need a standard ‘Kettle Lead’ (IEC) style mains cable with the required plug style
• HDMI / VGA / SCART cables

An alternative Multisystem2 Digital console is also available with only HDMI output at a lower price, see the Multisystem2 Digital listing.

What is the MiSTer Multisystem2?

Multisystem2 is a hardware platform that runs MiSTer based FPGA cores, software and scripts that form part of the MiSTer community.

Alexey Melnikov is the originator, designer and creator of MiSTer FPGA based on earlier work of MiST and many other contributors.

If you want to see more dedicated FPGA based retro gaming hardware and cores, please also support Alexey Melnikov over on Patreon

Multisystem2 can run MiSTer FPGA cores that electronically recreate hardware systems for wide range of retro gaming consoles, classic computers and vintage arcade machines to a very high standard of both accuracy and low latency.

Unlike software emulation, FPGA based hardware synthesis builds the hardware as a recreated model inside the FPGA device. This allows peripherals such as light guns to operate on the analogue CRT video output of Multisystem2, this aspect along with low latency (very fast acting) user input controls is something that cannot be achieved via software emulation, even on a much more powerful computer system.

The experience of using FPGA based systems if often very close or indistinguishable from original hardware.

Many enhancements, such as crisp, clear video output at native resolutions, scaled HDMI digital video output and system enhancements can elevate gaming beyond what was ever possible on original vintage systems.
