I recently made a fun retro board to play against the Mephisto chess engines that run on the MESS emulator.
Moves are inputted via a mapped out Dell USB keyboard connected to an old Windows XP tablet.
Out of fun I have christened it Messphisto.
Here are a couple of photos of it and under them there is a link to a video of it

Thanks Michael
It gives me something to do now I am retired due to prostate cancer but I will someday get around to building a Mysticum, honest!
Have you heard that our Spanish counterparts have released a new emulator program called MessChess (not the same as the original).
It contains ROMS from the Fidelity Elite Avante Garde 2, 7, 10 and 11 plus a few more like the Fidelity Excellence Voice. Also a host of new Mephisto ones.
Here are a few screenshots.
Regards
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
excellent work of the Spanish chess community - I didn't visit Meca since weeks, so your usefull info was new to me. There are so much Roms/devices included - incredible...
There's so much information included too and the design is overwhelming...

In case you need any help with Mysticum give me an indication...
