Works great with my Mister FPGA! Sometimes I have to reconnect the usb cable to activate it but it’s fine. I purchased the pro version of Zaparoo app to support them and also having feature such as scanning the cards directly from my phone is awesome! Big Respect to the team! Hello Australia from Boston, Massachusetts, USA!
So far it's been pretty easy. I plopped the reader in my multisystem 2, got the zaparoo utility on the device and haven't looked back. I'm hoping to setup a second FPGA arcade unit that would also have zaparoo for ease of loading the different cores. Ideally my cards would work for both units, but we'll see. Thanks for the cool product!
Amazing...a New year for New projects...your works is so beautiful Works perfectly with batocera steamdeck oled..Android pro app makes links with my order. Thanks
Works great!
Fantastic bit of kit, no issues works flawlessly, now creating some NFC card with labels, also super fast delivery from other side of the world!
Really fun device and idea implementation through to the software. Thank you, Zaparoo.
The zap pad looks and works great!
Works as well and easily as promised. It's a fantastic addition to Mister FPGA! :)
Works great. Easy to install in the Mister MultiSystem2
Works great!
Simple and powerful. I've used it to power-up my Batocera Arcade Cabinet and it's absolutely crazy how easy it was. Simply plug-in the USB and it works, straight out of the box. Keep up the good work guys.
great product. (Though I wish the included cable for mounting inside a multisystem2 was shorter.)
Really loving the Zaparoo and NFC Card System! I ordered the frosted ice version to match my MiSTER Pi. Makes loading games seamless and scratches that physical media itch. I highly recommend getting a Zaparoo! PS - The design templates for your cards are great too!
I put this in my Mister Multisystem 2 and it wenty in without a hitch.
Great team and product. Buy this one!
Allows the use of nfc cards for a more cartridge-like experience.
Very easy set up. Straightforward. Really enjoying it. Great product.
Worked perfectly with Mister MultiSystem 2
Got it for my Mister 2, and after a little configuring, it works exactly as intended. The phone app is very helpful too.
Plug and play on mister fpga the app is working beautifully. Had an issue with taxes that was solved virtually instantaneously, so also can say that support is phenomenal. Couldn't be happier.
Perfect
My kids love finally having a physical object to start games, helps move summer off the decision paralysis too.
Working great in side my Multisystem 2 with screen 👍🏼
I love to have bought it, works perfectly!
Works great! Symphony of the Night has never been more convenient!
Works like it's supposed to, nice and small so easy to add into your home made case.
🙂👍
Great company to deal with, shame no outlet in UK (cheaper post). Products look good and work well.
Works perfectly and is easy to understand
Great product, easy to setup.
Great stuff, superfast International delivery.
excellent!
This project's API, along with the hardware, presents many new ways that we can interact with the Mister. Highly recommended for folks who love to tinker and create.
Works very well, nice glow I love it!
Recently got one of these in the post and installed it along with MiSTercade in a Japanese candy cabinet - couldn't be happier! Particularly brilliant for when I've guests over, no need to explain how the GUI works, just hand them a stack of cards and away they go.
Hell Yeah
I can't describe why using this feels 'right' to launch a game, but it just does.
But this product was great enough to get me this far. Worth every penny.
Zaparoo is fantastic. Makes my MiSTer much more user friendly for folks who don't want to deal with navigating menus. Love it.
it just works, don't know how (probably ghosts) but it just works
