Unboxing the RetroCastle MiSTer FPGA IO Board & PSX SNAC

RetroCastle is MiSTer FPGA hardware developer based in China and sells his products through his store on AliExpress. Over the last few months I have gotten to know the creator Ivory who designs and builds these items. Before I met Ivory I thought all sellers on AliExpress were some Bitfunx cloners but I discovered there is a small but dedicated community of legit MiSTer hardware hackers in China. He sent me a few products for feedback and testing and I wanted to give you my thoughts.
