Getting started with MiSTER Pi involves minimal initial hardware. While the board itself is potent enough for basic functionalities, most retro gaming experiences will require external RAM, specifically an SDRAM module (128MB is common).
Assembling the hardware requires only a few steps. Once the SDRAM is connected, users can boot from an SD card and utilize the single USB Type-A port for controller connectivity. For those seeking greater functionality, adding a USB hub and an optional active cooling system can enhance the user experience considerably.
