Also read comments in that article, there is all answers to your questions

Literally none. All MiSTer does is emoolate simple as fuck almost anything nowadays can emulate just perfectly fine.

I use a rasberry pi and im having no problems

What happened to this board man

FPGA can be a near-perfect implementation of the console hardware. It won't actually be so for several reasons but we'll ignore reality for now.
Software-based emulators on the other hand have to deal with things like latency introduced by the operating system and graphical quirks caused by the ways in which modern GPUs work.
Unless you're really autistic you'll probably not notice much of a difference. As for why you wouldn't play on real hardware instead it's because you don't want the real experience instead you want your idealized version. Sharp 1:1 pixels with shaders laid on top scaled to high definition instead of analog video with noise and artifacting on a CRT with a slightly too soft image that's quite badly warped in one corner.

what is all this shit? I just emulate on my PC.

mister is good in theory but in practice the only platforms it supports are already emulated well

>>8099512
why buy a pc when you can just get a rasberry pi

>>8099673
Pc has lower latency on controller inputs
Better more accurate emulators
Capable of better run ahead
Better GPU for multiple shader passes
Emulates more powerful consoles which the pi cannot

I can understand having a dedicated compact machine for émulation as a plus for the pi. I use an iphone with sn30 and gamegrip /w RetroArch. To each their own

rasberry pi

Just get a wii, you can play everything mister can play as well as gamecube and wii isos and if you have an early model you can also use it as a DVD player

>>8099705
I don't have a problem with emulation but it stinks on the wii, the only advantage is easy 240p output

>>8099735
Why? I have had no problems with input or performance and I emulate a lot of systems on it.

>>8099495
Tranny Gen Z-ers got ahold of the sticky over a year ago.

>>8099742
N64 emulation has awful compatibility (e.g. no Rare games work) and Playstation emulation has poor compatibility and performance.

It's fine for 4th gen consoles and handhelds up to the GBA I guess.

>>8099705
There's lots of stuff Wii can't do. It's especially annoying how there are no remapping options (like how genesis games are basically unplayable because they decided to map one of the face buttons to A on the wiimote instead of using the B trigger as a shoulder button)

>>8099749
Well yeah, I don't use any 5th gen emulators, I said in my original post that it emulates everything that mister emulates, so those consoles are out of the question since mister wouldn't play them either. I thought you were going to tell me that 3rd and 4th gen don't work.

>>8099752
All the emulators I use have remapping and wide controller compatibility, I'm constantly remapping on the SNES, GBA, and WSC emulators. I don't know the gens menu off the top of my head but I'm almost positive it does, and if it doesn't then I guess that is pretty dumb.

>>8099752
rasberry pi does not have that problem

>>8099842
Neither does the wii, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about

https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Genesis_Plus

It supports remapping for all controller types bro

>>8099764
lol, mister doesn't even emulate playstation? what a joke

>>8099456
So it's for retards with loose wallets that think an audio cue being .00001 seconds off is a reason to buy a dedicated piece of hardware to emulate something.
It also doesn't sync save games across any samba, NFS or cloud provider, settings, controller profiles... just fucking use RetroArch.

>>8099865
I know bro, its fucking pathetic

>watching the mistersister false flag as a pifag
Oh you.

>>8099746
Yeah and the board is measurably worse because of it.

Accuracy, latency, compact and cheaper to replace than a GPU, but the main reason for having one is the seethe. Sweet delicious poorfag seethe.

>>8100290
Objectively inferior to a wii, can't play gamecube or wii games

>>8100297
Gamecube and wii have no games worth playing.

>>8100290
>>8100297
sorry but rasberry pi beats both

>>8100412
Enjoy your lag.

>>8100420
I never felt any lag on rasberry pi

>>8100343
Nice deflection, dumbass. The miefter just isn't as good as other options. It's good for what it is, but it's abilities are overstated and it's hyped up for no reason. Though one day it may be the best option, that time is not now.

>>8100343
>t-those grapes are sour anyway

>>8099427
>>8099507
just get a wii to enjoy retro emulation in 240p on a crt man don't over complicate things

>>8099427
>thanks a lot guys, the developer of the core for X system quit because of rampant transphobia in the community. Now we'll never get to play some games that have worked perfectly in Mame since 2002
That's what you're missing out on

>>8099865
Yet.

>>8100297
You're allowed to own a Mister AND a Wii

>>8100818
Yeah, I'm sure Mister's going to get good fifth gen emulation about the same time that PCs do.

>>8100846
Saved for later

>>8100818
k keep me posted

>>8100846
The Mistersister fears the Duck.

>>8099427
>What are the benefits
The benefit of emulation is that you never get to shut the fuck up about it.

>>8100845
Why would you do that?
