Mister FPGA IO Board with VGA Port and Analog Video Output, 3.5mm Headset Port, 3pcs Buttons, 3pcs Status Indicator Lamp, Replacement Board for FPGA Projects

The board is a working version of the design available online. It connects well and adds the functionality it promises, although the infrared connector for audio is a little bit weird (but it follows the design). I'm not sure how the fan connects to all of it, but I didn't need the cooling yet.

This board, while completely functional for use via the HDMI output setting, issues distorted colors on the picture when run through the VGA port to a CRT television. On the item I ordered there was a pinkish/magenta hue on the television screen which should not be there as my PVM and television monitors have been calibrated for accuracy. Even changing settings on the INI file in the MiSTer menu screen did little to alleviate this issue. I have bought other MiSTer parts from independent sellers previously and this was not an problem. After some additional research this seems to be an ongoing concern with cheaper Chinese boards of this type that utilize the incorrect resistors on the resistor array combination. This can be corrected on the board but you'd have to be knowledgeable in soldering and electrical engineering as well as ordering the parts which seem to be more trouble than it's worth. Skip the headache and go with a verified independent seller that knows what they are doing like Mr. Addons or any other European equivalent. You have been warned.

Some colors on some games (FF3, Super Metroid, etc) don’t render correctly. Basically reds are over saturated and greens are under saturated. The opening screen on FF3 is a odd grayish black on the DE10-Nano over HDMI output and OG SNES. But over the VGA port through component cable on a sony trinitron opening screen is very dark red and Terra hair is grey instead of green. But if I play Simcity on SNES core every thing looks normal.Done hours of reading on forums and triple checking my ini settings. Nothing fixes it. Most ppl conclude a bad soldering job or sub par components used to make this board.Will update when I get a different version form a different store to compare.*UPDATE*I bought another Analog I/O board from a different website. After simple plug and play instal, The new board has none of the issues I experienced with this board I got on Amazon. I’m using the same exact cables/setup , etc. so it’s definitely defective. Just get this board from community supported vendors. You won’t save any time or money getting it here…

Expect to manually rework this board and clean ALL the solder flux off the board before use. many of the hand soldered joints were cold, this board can at best be considered a semi finished kit some assembly required before use.

Performs great. Was able to connect component video to DB15/VGA connection and hook up to a TV via component inputs. Can't comment on the fan, I haven't used it. Solder joints look great. Will update this review if anything changes.
