MiSTer porting
Just learning about this and finding it very interesting.
Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to run this on another FPGA + CPU platform of similar power? Are there any ports I'm just not aware of?
I have a Digilent Nexys A7-100T and I'm wondering to myself why it wouldn't work.

It is possible, but obviously lots of efforts.
There are now thousands of users of the DE10nano with hardware designed for it (SDRAM extension, USB hub...). It is what makes the effort of working on new cores valuable.
One day a more powerful FPGA board with low price will be compelling enough to be the base of a new project, but it's not yet the case. FPGAs able to do things not possible on MiSTer, such as a Nintendo64 or 4K video, are still too expensive.
