The MIST board was designed to implement classic 16 bit computers like the Amiga and Atari ST(E) using modern hardware.
However it also supports 8bit systems

The MIST supports USB joysticks / keyboards / mice as well as standard classic 9-pin joysticks..
For video output, it has a VGA port (please note that - depending on the system - it might output a non-standard VGA Signal that does not work with every monitor. Most TVs with VGA input should work without any issues).
VGA offers the best video quality for those systems.
You need a normal MicroUSB-Power adaptor to power it.

The MIST reimplements the hardware of the systems - it does not emulate it.
It is fully OpenHardware and Software.
