Thanks so much Pete, really appreciate the blog and FAQ. Glad you are enjoying the console.

Pete has done a wonderful blog post and FAQ on the Multisystem2, really great and very helpful for new and existing users 👍

Also want to give a shoutout to the excellent MiSTer Multisystem 2 from @heber-limited.bsky.social and @retrocollective.co.uk. Might be the best couple of hundred quid I've ever spent on a games console.

This was a highlight ! 😍

We had a surprising customer pickup at the Mill, a week next Friday.

One of our pre-order customer's arrived in a wonderfully restored De Lorean to pick up his Multisystem2.

We also sent a few Multisystem2 consoles back to 1985 and you all loved it!

Huge shipment of USA orders today, we are paying the 10% Tariff for all pre-orders placed before Aug 29th and getting them shipped out to you as quickly as possible.

We are now starting Level 5 for shipments, (#8001 - #8500)
I think this game is finally getting easier 😄.

Heber Ltd. @heber-limited.bsky.social · 17d

🎺🎉We have completed Level 4! 🎉🎺
We are now into Level 5 which is orders which fall within #8001 - #8500. We had better start making some more Level screens...

September is the big push to complete the Pump House project. Will we finish it on time? Hollys face says it all...

Yes, worth a go.
Quick test is to try bending a piece of the filament, most thermoplastics should still bend at least 45 degrees without snapping. If it’s like dry spaghetti and snaps then it’s probably not worth trying in a printer.

It’ll absorb moisture from the air. Some PLS’s become very brittle and some are not UV stable.
You can resurrect some old PLA’s in the oven at 40C for several hours.

ABS in sunlight can be useless after only ~6 months.

Nylon absorbs the most moisture, dry before every use.

Is it here yet?

We will be posting more’Shipping Game’ levels as they get unlocked 😎

Follow along and have some fun while waiting for your #Multisystem2 👍

Lever 1 is almost completed. More updates coming.

Heber Ltd. @heber-limited.bsky.social · Aug 18

Thank you for your amazing support and enthusiasm for the Multisystem2. We know lots of you are keen to know when to expect your order. We’ve created some levels (because you know, it’s a games console!) to help give you an idea of where your order is in the shipping process.

That’s very cool, it would be good to see more IDEX systems.
I’m still 3DPrinting every day and using a large print farm for full production manufacturing. Shoot me a message if you ever need anything 👍

It was the best RepRap 3D printer I ever built. Great accuracy and perfect Z-layer alignment. I used Sli3DR for many years and still have it. I would love to see a large scale version.

I made a little shelf insert for a #Multisystem2 slice tray. You can store your SDcards, Zaparoo NFC cards, cartridges and a few retro sweets 😎

Maybe we need a double height version for control pad storage 🤔

Totally fantastic new NFC cards from Zaparoo using stone paper ! For the #Multisystem2 😎

wizzo @wizzo.dev · Jul 31

These cards are made with a new material called stone paper. I’m really pleased how it’s turned out! They’re totally plastic free but just as durable and waterproof as the common PVC cards. Going forward I’ll be doing runs of these along with the cardboard cards

Oh hey! Wizzo snuck these out. It was fun coming up with a design that felt like a “cart” with the Multisystem 2. Big thanks to @richrap3d.bsky.social and the folks at Heber!

wizzo @wizzo.dev · Jul 31

Hey! I’ve just updated the #Zaparoo Multisystem2 kit with some brand new cards that arrived today 😎 This is a collab with @heber-limited.bsky.social and another sick design by @timwilsie.bsky.social, made to perfectly match the card slot when you get your MMS2! Check it out 👉 shop.zaparoo.com
