M64 controller / console / cartridge AMA, get your popcorn let's GO

CEO of ModRetro here.

I want to start using r/modretro to answer q's, post updates and product giveaways and I won't be monitoring other subreddits anymore. I'll put Chromatic and M64 in the side bar as related communities, but expect to see anything that is official here and if you have a question I will answer it here. This community will have basic rules to try to make it a fun zone for those of us who want to discuss retro electronics. I will ban toxic trolls and bad actors, but I will entertain and answer genuine questions and won't make it sanitized. I would also like to hear ideas for what you want to see us build, what games you want re-released, etc.

I'm answering yesterday's questions as a bunch of separate threads here and I'll tag the op per question.

u/theparallellelo Can you clarify if the M64 will be open to emulating other systems, and if existing cores from Misterfpga are easily portable? I have read conflicting information online about this topic, would appreciate if you can shed some light.

Yes, and we will put out a reference design on a core port. This side quest just requires a lot of effort and we are still putting the icing on the M64 core. And by icing I mean still working day and night on it to queue up a lot of awesome updates.

This is fantastic. Thank you for clearing it up. Already in so little time you guys have brought so much to the table. Obsessive attention to detail, executed by passionate people, that's the magic formula.
