MiSTer, especially the new cheaper builds (MisterPi) are by far the best way to play the old consoles if you want to play on a TV and well worth the $200.

Yeah. (Sorry, somehow didn't read your comment about the same AmigaVision before commenting.)

I find myself wishing for something like AmigaVision for e.g. the IBM PC.

The launcher should be in either classic text mode or VGA 640x480x16 colors with custom palettes like those cool disk mags. And of course tracker background music.

There is some similar effort called 0MHz based on the eXoDOS project, but I'm not sure I like it as much. Needs more work. And a lot more curation.

Totally agree with you, I'd like to see it for the C64, Spectrum, Atari ST, Amstrad etc too. It makes the system into something which is really close to "plug in and play".

I'm also hoping that we start seeing USB external Amiga / C64 keyboards for the real enthusiasts. That might be a little too niche though.
