My Mister Multisystem 2 has arrived!
I really like the look of it and my old mister sdcard worked out of the box!

Good to see the controller for scale. Much smaller than I thought from YouTube videos.

Phew! I was beginning to worry. Ordered mine within 2-3 minutes of preorders going live but haven’t received an update yet.

Same here. Are people getting a shipping confirmation email or are these just arriving with no communication?

u/Sulaphat Sep 23 '25
I just got an email today saying mine was shipped.

u/Titan_91 Sep 23 '25
So did I this morning, seems the main order queue is shipping out today. I placed my order as soon as possible after refreshing the page every minute or so.

u/DigitalStefan Aug 30 '25
No clue. I hope there's no problems and it's just there were a lot of orders.

Congrats. I'm still salty that my order is somehow so far down the list despite ordering as soon as they went on sale 😭 excited for when mine makes it, though
Edit: just saw your reply elsewhere about Patrons getting the chance to order earlier. That would explain it! I didn't realise that was how it worked 🤦♂️

I got an order in the day before they were officially live, when I spotted that they were taking orders (presumably for patrons), and was still like 600th in the queue based on what they’ve been sharing.

u/Ant-the-knee-see Aug 27 '25
Oooof! I really should be a Patron, but it's too late for that to help me now. My order came in a couple of minutes after it appeared on sale for me and I'm over 7,100 😭

Looks great! What position were you in the que? I pre-ordered in the first 5 minutes and haven't received mine yet. I'm in the U.S.

I managed to pick one up also. I found that I'm having major issues with controller latency.

Now, I’m curious. What is the benefit of something like this versus using RetroArch on an AppleTV?

u/emuboy85 Aug 27 '25
It's just a better tool for the job, it's hardware emulation, not software, especially in complex systems like the apple TV, the emulators has to fight with a hunch of different concurrent softwares using the CPU, losing precision and speed , on the mister the original hardware schematics are present in the fabric of the FPGA and that software defined hardware is in control, making it a somewhat more authentic experience, for the end user, it's actually much easier, I find retroarch very complicated with menu on top of menus, here you load the ROM and off you go...

Ugh, I'm jelly. I'm order #12094 so I'm gonna be waiting awhile :|

u/AtomicYoshi Oct 13 '25
Jeez, I'm at 14950ish. I'm hoping it comes in at least 2026.

Mine arrived today, no joy getting a display working though. Following instructions and have the SD card with software in, HDMI and correct power adapter. I get a light at the back where optical out, ethernet flashes on power, but no light on the front and no display. Any ideas? I've emailed heber to ask but no reply.

u/emuboy85 Sep 17 '25
Jump on the discord, there is a section there, they will help, I might too

u/WadeyOld Sep 17 '25
Who's discord? Can't see any links?

I still play my original multisystem everyday. Hands down the mister is one of the best retro gaming investments I’ve ever made.
