  • Amiga 500/600/1200 (AGA core beta)
  • C64 (partially - still under development)
  • Atari 8bit (96%)
  • Collecovision
  • Sinclair ZX81
  • Atari 2600
  • ZX Spectrum with AY, also with DIVMMC and ESXDOS
  • SEGA GENESIS
  • Apple
  • MSX
  • AMSTRAD CPC (beta)
  • many more,..

Requirements: (For potential compatibility issues see the peripherals wiki page)

  • USB keyboard
  • micro USB phone charger for power supply
  • SD card (1GB recommended)
  • VGA display
  • USB mouse
  • set of PC speakers

Important Notes:    

Device was tested with a lot of different models of SD cards and should work properly with all of them. Unfortunately, there is a lot of fake/bad flash media (SD cards/CF cards/USB keys...) on the market. We strongly recommend you to take care when selecting the SD card and also choose a good manufacturer.
