Hello everyone! I have some great news: everything is ready for a new run of the Ironclad DX, which has been sold out for almost two months. The most advanced I/O board for Mister FPGA is back! But the good news doesn’t stop there. It will be available with a limited time discount to make it more affordable for early birds, especially our friends in the United States who have recently seen their currency devalue against the Euro and have been subjected to tariffs on foreign purchases. I hope this makes up for it a little 😉 Stock will open tomorrow, Thursday, February 19th at 5:00 PM GMT, and shipping is expected to begin in April. Get it HERE See you inside, and as always, thank you so much for everything!

Hello everyone! I’m back today with the appropriate updates and some great news: Ironclad DX batch 2 is ready for launch. The necessary components have been reserved, and the dates have been booked at the factory. Thanks to everyone who subscribed for product alerts, as it helps me improve quantity estimations. The pre-order opening date is this Friday, May 16th at 17:00 GMT, shipping dates will be around the end of June and July, and the price will be the same despite including the MicroSD extension and the new redesigned B-Board, a true bargain for the most powerful and feature rich I/O available for the MiSTer. Remember to subscribe so you will be warned as soon as the stock is up. And now for the Batch 1 status update. There are still about 20% of orders left to ship. Orders are going out to their owners every day, and almost certainly 100% of shipments will be made before the end Read more

Hello everyone! It’s time for an update on the status and shipments of the Ironclad DX. As you all know, shipments were scheduled to begin in March, which they did, and some orders were shipped during the first half of the month. But during that time, something happened that opened my eyes: I had problems with the MicroSD card in my MiSTer FPGA. It kept getting corrupted, even after formatting it or replacing it with another one. The next day, it would start giving me problems again. In the end, I think it was due to a faulty SDRAM module, but until I realized it I felt like pulling my hair out. but that’s not the point. The point is that although I’ve been using my Ironclad board for years and I access the microSD card via FTP or SMD easily, securely, and without problems, I always recomment this method for daily access, in these cases where there are recurrent Read more

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since the last news post, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been quiet or absent, on the contrary I’ve been busier than ever. These past few months have been the busiest I can remember in the last few years in the MiSTer FPGA community with the completion of the N64 core, the new amazing cores that are arriving week by week, the spectacular progress of the Saturn core and… the appearance of the “clones” of our beloved DE10-Nano, which bring new possibilities for everyone and a more economical way to access this world, and that last has had a lot to do with the tremendous workload I’ve had these past few months, because instead of just produce more Lite boards I decided to hold and bury myself in schematics and diagrams… The new Ironclad Lite with support for DE10-Nano, QMTECH Cyclone V and Mister Pi: One board to rule them all! It hasn’t been Read more

Hello everybody! It has been a long time since the last news post, but that does not mean I have been doing nothing as you will see 😉 I finally had some vacations in August and thanks to that i recovered myself from years of incessant work, but before having some rest Batch 7 was completely finished and shipped and i also managed to have time to develop a new addition to the Ironclad Plus family… The Mt32-Pi PRO Internal Hat The previous UserIO2 model has been renamed to “Easy” to differentiate between both, also the price of both is not the same but renaming it makes the identification easier as i plan to keep making and supporting the “Easy” model. The main advantage of the Easy model is that it is plug and play, it needs modified cores to work but once installed it just works transparent to the user, the need for the modified cores is also its Read more
