i sold my mister for nearly 700$
my favorite cores were bally astrocade, vectrex, and the cd based systems (pc engine cd, sega cd)


i will probably repurchase at some point & get the jamma edge connector

>>8959053
Where'd you sell it? I made a second one a while ago and wanna strike while the fire is hot

>>8959053
What retard bought it for $700 when full kits are available for around $450 kek

For me, it's retroflag controllers

>>8959087
i can't say where but its a buy sell mobile phone app

>>8959048
Where can I get that cool Raspberry Pi case?

>>8959065
shitpost it for high on ebay/mercari/offer up etc
a tard will buy it

list it as "plug and play"
"preconfigured"

i included a 256gb sd card

Amiga, Neo Geo, and weirdly Gameboy Advance.

>>8959048
What the fuck is this thing I constantly see posted?

>>8959103
>Look, Ma! I posted it (again)

>>8959168
a single board computer that imitates the functions, pretty accurately, of console chips

>>8959053
based. I bought 4 DE-10 Nanos back before Covid and sold them all at double profit. Stupid morons who waited until a particular core came out. "Yeah I'll wait until Saturn runs on this thing so that the price can go up even more before I buy it". They fucking deserve to pay the idiot tax.

>>8959836
i only had one evil genius
its a cool device but not worth keeping around when you can make hundreds by doing literally nothing instead

i have a pc and plenty of real hardware
i might repurchase later at msrp but time will tell

What's in store for this platform after the Saturn core, and those dudes trying to miniaturise it and make a portable MiSTer?

Alternatively, when do you think an FPGA dev platform with double or more the ALU will be affordable?

>>8960421
current cores being worked on include Game and Watch (which will also ultimately include Konami/Tiger/R-Zone), Commodore 128, IBM XT. There's also a SparcStation core in the works. Neo Geo Pocket is also currently being worked on by Jotego which will essentially mark the entirety of the portable game systems catalogue. Jaguar is also still being worked on and either the current core or a new one by Jotego could be completed.

After that, perhaps CD-i, various arcade systems, and perhaps save states, net play, and other features could be added to existing cores. Maybe 3DO but it might be in the same ballpark as N64 and not realistic for the DE10.

Not sure what else people might need after that.

>>8960769
Oh I forgot FM Towns and Sega Pico are also in development.

Maybe someone will want to do a Casio Loopy at some point as well. There's always something. Those old coleco tabletop LCD arcade games might be something someone wants to do as well.

For me its the retrobit Sega controllers

>>8959048
Where can I get that cool Raspberry Pi case?

Can you use the ao486 core as a replacement for an actual PC (from that same era)?
Like connecting to BBSes and other shit like that

>>8959048
Someone please shill me an inline power switch that doesn't have a voltage drop
I'm tired of either just leaving it on 24/7 or having to unplug it every time.
I have the USB hub that gets power from USB

>>8961173
sure

>>8960421
In addition to what anon wrote above, someone is making a DS core. It probably won't be completable but it might be able to get 2D only games running. I'm really not sure what the point is.
There's also talk of trying to get N64 working using a hybrid approach, emulating just the CPU with the Arm side (or a Raspberry Pi) and everything else on the FPGA side. Might still be difficult considering how fast the RCP runs, but it's interesting because of how unfeasible pure FPGA emulation is for more powerful consoles. The next MiSTer will probably use some form of hybrid approach for stuff like PS2, whenever it happens to come out.

>thinking I don't need it over the last couple years

Worth getting two and selling one for double or more?

>>8961502
You can never say you weren't warned about rotting plastic.

>>8960421
I want someone to make a Gamate core!

>>8959048
I recently bought the mainboard for it and should get here sometime this week, although I'll probably only wind up playing GB, GBC, and GBA. might have to wait for anything afterwards. I just cant justify it being so much keeping it when people obviouslt are paying $400+ for the maindboard alone.

>>8960421
IIRC there was talk of possibly trying to get N64 working via hybrid emulation.
That sort of defeats the purpose of using a MiSTer, but it would be cool to see.

>>8962054
that seems jank, at that point I would just play my N64 then

>>8959836
Anyone who buys this thing at all pays the idiot tax

>>8959328
Seriously where do you get that pi case?

>>8962054
Kek. The absolute state of FPGA.

I remember a year ago people on this board were shilling this thing like no tomorrow when it got major YouTuber coverage. Idiots and their money were separated and everyone swore it was just as accurate as original hardware. FF 1 year and MISTR shills are overdosing on copium swirling with the ceiling fan when they figured out psx emulation is jank as hell and fpga is a bigger meme than raspberry pi.

Luv me misters
Not pictured, my third mister

>>8962217
The unstable PSX core played MGS1 just fine.

lol so do I sell for under or try and luck out and get $400 for this thing

>>8962347
wake me up when it has the compatibility and performance of duckstation

>core
it's called mame, mofo

Holy fuck the Saturn core is so good

>>8962292
How is your experience (I'm assuming) with RetroNAS?
Raspi 4bs restocked recently, and a local shop still have some 2GB units available. Thinking of getting on that finally.

These threads make me sad. There's always smug people posting about how stupid are who didn't buy it before covid, angry people posting who are coping about their collection's validity being threatened, and uneducated people who don't understand why MiSTer is good for all of us who care about preservation.
Just enjoy the games, friends. There's no need to turn this into a dick measuring contest. I love both my original hardware and my MiSTer.

>>8962586
>These threads make me sad. There's always smug people posting about how stupid are who didn't buy it before covid
you're only stupid if it turns out you want it now when you could have bought it for a lot cheaper before covid and didn't get it because you were waiting for such and such core. If you have original hardware or otherwise don't feel the need, then that's fine too.

>>8962403
>>wake me up when it has the compatibility and performance of duckstation
This just in: a work in progress FPGA emulation core doesn't have the same compatibility as a x86 software emulator that piggybacks off of 20 years of multiple developer and extensive community effort. Stop the fucking presses.

>>8961173
>Can you use the ao486 core as a replacement for an actual PC (from that same era)?
It's pretty full featured at this point, so probably
>Like connecting to BBSes and other shit like that
It has network support, so yes.

>>8962586
>Just enjoy the games, friends. There's no need to turn this into a dick measuring contest. I love both my original hardware and my MiSTer.
Valid statement, but that isn't going to stop the schizo posting.

>>8962586
The same people measuring their dicks in this thread do the same thing in the emulation handheld threads. They don't actually play games, they just insist there is only one valid way to play games, and by a cosmic coincidence it turns out using the device they happen to already have is the only way.

>>8964565
Yes.

Wtf is this

>>8964565
Literally me, haven't touched my MiSTer in 4 months.

If a MiSTer core turns the FPGA in the DE10 into a configuration equivalent to a system on a chip, could that HDL be used to design real silicon SoCs as a solution for future backwards compatibility or microconsoles?
You know, in a world where Sony and Nintendo gave even half as much of a shit about preservation as Microsoft.

>>8962440
Is it just me or does it run like 10% slow? I haven’t played Saturn in 25 years so maybe it just seemed faster as a kid.

Should I get a consumer CRT (probably about 15” for space purposes) and lose out on 480p/ao486, or get a CRT monitor (also about 15”) and have to push 120Hz 240p or artificial scanlines? Which is the better compromise?

>>8964604
>haven't touched my MiSTer in 4 months
thats honestly sad to hear, makes me want to sell the board I just bought

>>8966246
These threads has made me decide to sell my mister, it’s just not worth it. Shame the community is so bad too.

>>8963197
To be fair, if a core is not emulation then it shouldn’t have compatibility issues

>>8966695
Why is it bad?

>>8966801
There are plenty of NES and Mega Drive hardware clones that have huge issues and they don't use emulation at all. Even official hardware variations can have compatibility issues e.g. 1-chip SNESes.

Why did you buy it in the first place, then?

>>8966695
Imagine caring enough about what autists and trolls on 4chan have to say about a product that you get rid of it

A Super Gameboy core was released by a guy on the MiSTer forums. I've only found one game that doesn't work correctly, it's Wario Blast. You can download it from here https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=4786&sid=078871e3f360920f6703ca88358be0a6&start=30

>>8970214
see this >>8968840
and shut up fool

I like how the anti-MiSTer fags are so intent on being contrarians they're now arguing that people should actually buy and use MiSTers.

Somebody tried the saturn core so far ? How is it ?

>>8971589
Cleopatra Fortune is playable. I am satisfied.

>>8971593
I play this on my saturn emu, it's not hard to emu and you can just play it normally. Nothing wrong with it unlike Megaman X4/8 and Shining of the Holy Ark.

>>8959048
I have a question. I've had and built my MiSTer into a custom case ages ago. I bought a 128GB A1 micros SD card for it, and that's been enough, but now that PS1 and soon Saturn are coming to it I'm going to need more space.
I've purchased an A2 256GB micro SD card.
Do I either copy over the contents of my other card, or should I start over from Scratch loading the cores from Upload_All and the romsets again?

>>8961193
>retroflag controllers
I bought a little board that switches the power on and off with a momentary switch. It's been too long to remember what exactly I bought, but it's worked out great for the past year or so.

>>8968886
Great now I have a half naked man in my meme folder.

Start from scratch with misterfusion and update all
You can also just use USB storage for the cores that use a lot of data

>>8960769
PC98 pls.

I think that guy abandoned it, i want my weird jap games

>>8971630
Have you looked into loading files over your network?
If you have an old PC, a raspberry Pi or a router with a USB port you can chuck in old hard drive for expanded storage. And if your HDD uses USB 3.0 and network supports gigabit speeds it's actually the fastest option.

>>8959048
>MISTer is starting to stray away from fpga cores
>now its just an emulation box

You fags can be in denial all you want, but the psx and saturn cores are just the beginning

>>8959087
because the preconfigured one on ebay is shipped in 3 days to your door while the kits take too much time to wait on shipping, building, and troubleshooting.

>>8959836
>They fucking deserve to pay the idiot tax.
yes and no.
Imagine if you only wanted to play saturn (lol) so you bought one but no one ever made the core for it?

>>8972626
What are you talking about? What makes these cores different?

>>8972872
The fact that he said they would never happen.

>>8962292
Congrats on being a hoarding consoomer.

>>8973235
How does it make MISTer an emulation box?

>>8972670
>I WANT MY GAYMES NOW MOMMY!!!!!!

How do you guys deal with gate burn-in?
I personally switch cores every 30 minutes and power cycle my mister every few hours or so.
My first DE-10 was ruined when I left it running the SNES core for my whole FFV playthrough, the damage was permanent and only the SNES core would ever run on it again sadly.

>>8962217
yawn

>>8974018

>>8974018
I can't believe I didn't listen to these warnings. Now my MiSTer is a SiSTer.

>>8974018
Is this actually a thing? Any ways to prevent this?

>>8974687
found the reddit fag, lol

>>8974705
rent free

>>8974687
Yes
The gates can get "stuck", mainly due to the heat generated by the FPGA
I've had good results by limiting my time with any core to 30 minutes at a time, making sure to switch in order to reset the gates.

>>8974687
You could reset every 15 minutes to be safe. My sessions sometimes last almost an hour and I haven't had any issues so far

>>8974687
Just stick some WD-40 on it, that works for my gates, I don't know what these nonces are getting wound up about.

>>8975424
Fucking retard, WD40 will gum up your gates. Virgin graphite is the ONLY lubricant I use on my gates.

>>8975361

I kinda feel bad.
Anyway this screen is great, even at 480p resolution from the OSSC.
The only problem is the aspect ratio toggle straight up does nothing, so its great for 4:3 content but useless for anything else since it just squishes the image

>>8971593
Alright, still holding off a bit, I want to play Policenauts, can do it on the psx core, but I read the saturn version is the superior one.

>>8977090
Currently Cleopatra on Saturn has some serious audio glitches, but it already feels so much better than the PS1 port.

>>8976943
If the realtek chip on the driver board is the right one, you can flash it with the Laser Bear firmware that makes it and the volume controls work.

Also, I bought two of his monitor cases- the CRT-style one worked fine, but the VESA one was severely misaligned. I tried attaching the driver board with glue, and that kinda worked, but there was a fault (somewhere) between the PSU and the display and after gluing it to the case I couldn't separate the parts to test. The screen I can salvage, but the case and driver board are fucked. The case was 50 USD, shipping was another 60 USD, and delivery from the USA took like 6 weeks (three times as long as from China which was free), so I have no idea if it's even worth complaining because he'd maybe give me a partial refund, and with >100USD down the drain it feels like throwing money away to spend another 50 bucks on a second driver board, ~100 USD on shipping a second case (?and the when it the screen is also fucked?).

I'm trying to save money here by not buying unnecessary stupid shit. Am I losing any functionality by buying the MT32-Pi hat board for the Raspi ZERO vs, the much more expensive Pi3 Hat? From what I understand, everything can be driven through the mister menu anyways yeah?

>>8978667
1. Which shithole do you live in
2. Why the fuck would you spend so much on a tiny screen
3. We all told you the aliexpress "version" is pretty much just as good, why buy it from laserkike?

>>8979008
1. A first world one.
2. If I had access to a 3D printer, I'd have just done this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4721767/files because all I wanted for the second screen was a VESA mount option, but comparing quotes from printing services locally the cost was "get it from laserkike at a huge cost, or you may as well just buy yourself a fucking prusa"
3. I needed at least one unit with the laserbear firmware to use with MiSTer because of the RTD2556T's compatibility with variable refresh rates, and weighing the options the economics worked out best if did it this way and I bought the parts to assemble two. Unfortunately I didn't count on the 3D print being all fucked up; yeah, it's my fault for ruining the VESA one with glue, but it wouldn't have happened to begin with if I hadn't been shipped bunk merchandise.

>>8978896
get whichever one is actually available

>>8960769
CPS3 and Neogeo cd are missing.

>>8980474
Didn't the CPS3 load the entire game into RAM from a CD on boot? That's likely not going to happen on a MiSTer.

>>8980715
maybe with 2 ram modules?

>>8959048
Favorite cores are the ones that replace CDs or other pain in the ass hardware like CPS1.

I don’t know whether it’s feasible or not, but if this thing can get Saturn, N64, CPS3, Hyper NG64 it will be just about perfect

>>8980736
That's still only 256MB total, a CD can hold 700. Assuming they were not some special format that held like 1GB or more.

It would also make booting a game a chore since CPS3 systems took a while to "boot" on powerup as they had the copy the entire disk into RAM, unless they break their 100% accuracy pledge by letting you have some sort of save state from right after the system loads the game into RAM.

>>8980751
Just about everyone who works on the MiSTer has said that N64 is impossible, the FPGA just does not have the room for it, and I believe the RAM access is far too slow.

Though people in the past did say PS1 was impossible, but the PS1 is pushing the MiSTer to it's utter limit in terms of FPGA emulation. It is still only 99.99% accurate with sound instead of 100% unless you go dual-RAM.

>>8979205
I run my mister on low lag and haven't had any problems with the chink displays, even with SNES and weird refresh arcade cores like dodonpatchi

Why is there dodonpachi core but not donpachi?

>>8981348
Looks like Dodonpachi had a simplified board with less obscure chips than Donpachi. The dev is currently working on Donpachi support.

>>8981429
What's the chances of Mushihimesama? (clueless)

>>8981663
That game runs on a CV1000 board with a 133mhz SH-3 CPU. I'd not bet on that being supported with a current FPGA board.

Aren't Terasic delivering more units in July?
That was the estimated fulfillment date last I checked, but the lead time for future batches could well have reached raspberry pi levels given how popular the MiSTer platform is getting.

You can use the experimental cores to output composhit or an external transcoder.

Damn that's a nice screen, you guys weren't kidding.
I would pay a lot of money for this exact resolution + latency in 20-25 inches

Tried the 8shitdo pro 2 wired since I could get it for $25 from the chinks
Surprisingly the diagonal sensitivity is fine. Did I just get lucky with QC or what?

>>8984124
SNS-102.
I think that's what they're called. Via raphnet adapter.

Basically, rather than the silk screened SNES logo, Nintendo is molded into the plastic. Look for those.
Oh and while I'm at it, if you see PS2 controllers for sale look for ones without the moulded certification details on underside of the controller plug- if you see a sticker there instead, grab it.

>>8984271
Just get retrobit Sega controllers.

>>8983976
If you want 100% sound accuracy in the PS1 core instead of the like 99.99% accuracy it has with one (The dev has said they aren't even bothering to focus on trying to port 100% accuracy to one module since there are far more important bugs and features to work on). And currently the Saturn core is a mess of games working in the 1 or 2 RAM version, but that core is also very early Alpha (The PS1 core originally needed two RAM modules as well).

Beyond that, nothing I can think of that exists for MiSTer or is currently in development needs two RAM modules. It was more of a thing earlier in the MiSTer's life.

That's not saying that it will never need them, but considering that the PS1 is already more or less maxing out the MiSTer and is the system's limit, with something such as N64 being likely impossible, and anything beyond that definitely being impossible, I don't foresee anything new needing two RAM modules in the future.

Worst case scenario, the Saturn core might need it for several or many games once it's finished.

There's currently a beta version of the Jaguar core which requires two SDRAM boards. Jaguar has an absurd memory bus and MiSTer devs have great troubles replicating it with only one SDRAM board.

Seems like there hasn't been much activity on that since last February, and there was apparently an implementation with one RAM that was not as far along.

>>8984827
And to think those panels are like 10 years old.
The good thing is, there's a fuckton of icloud locked ipads out there that are basically worthless now; if you got good with a heatgun and spudger, you could make yourself a wall of retina displays for relatively cheap. But yeah the tech was more or less wasted on mac users in general. Apple do make newer models of those displays, albeit in higher resolutions and wider aspect ratios, but they could be worth a look depending on how far you want to stretch your definition of "a lot of money".

What's the catch here? This is 20 bucks cheaper than normal.
Switch pro seems like a good catch all controller

>>8985818
disregard, ali chinks now sell 1:1 replicas of the pro controller including box
If you're gonna get scammed at least scam yourself and buy it directly from them
Wonder how good these are though...

You can buy the controllers on eBay.

>>8986056
Gib some links please?
For now I've settled on retroflag since their microcontroller is genuinely low latency, with the hole punch mod. It fixed diagonals but the dpad is kinda stiff and noisy now. I ordered some replacement membranes to see if they help.
my 8bitdo pro 2 wired doesn't seem to have sensitive diagonals so that's also an option for me but it doesn't FEEL right ya know

>>8986129
Just search for them on ebay. I bought an SNES Classic controller for $25 last week.

You'll never be satisfied. I've tried every SNES controller under the sun. Nothing was "perfect".

>Original SNES controller, all mushy as fuck d-pads
>SNES Classic pads, mushy as shit
>Club Nintendo SNES pad for Wii, even mushier

I guess the SNES really had mushy ass D-pads and I'm not remembering well.

The best solution for me was an SNES30 (older model) which I used electric tape to cover the pads to fix the shitty diagonals. It's clicky without being hard to press which I like.

Thanks
2 questions
>What adapter do you use for usb on the mister
>Is it possible to depress the entire dpad if you press in the middle?

>>8986190
If you like them clicky the retroflag snes pad with 2 layers of the hole re-enforcers would make you happy.

>>8986386
I didn't mention but I have a Retroflag too and I do like the D-pad. It's very good specially considering how cheap it was. The 8bitdo is slighly less stiff though.

>>8986384
1. I use GCN/Wii pads via an 8bitdo GBros adapter over USB. It's a bit cumbersome but it works fine. I have tried the SNES Classic, NES Classic and GameCube controllers on it. A GBA with the GBA > GCN cable also works which was neat to play Gameboy games on.

2. No. There's a pivot in the midle.

>>8987197
If I'm spending all this money on a scalped mini console I might as well get the raphnet adapters too

>>8987473
True. They're better. 8bitdo adapter has about 6ms of latency, Raphnet is 1ms.

fuck it I bought a sufami mini, cord extensions and a raphnet adapter
If this doesn't satisfy my autism I'll just kms or something

I keep mis-reading raphnet as randnet

Why does every mister thread devolve into controller autism? Just use a fucking DS4 or xbone controller and be done with it.

>>8987607
>Just use a fucking DS4 or xbone controller
they both suck for genesis and capcom fighter

What's the best USB Hub to get for the MiSTer?

>>8987648
the one that attaches to the standoffs at the bottom.
buy if off aliexpress

>>8987648
Splurge for the USB addon board that attatched to the bottom. Make sure it's the one with a power jack and not just another USB port. Also make sure you are getting the L bracket with it. Normal micro USB cables hanging off the port will cause damage especially if you use a dongle.

>>8987607
Because MiSTer might be able to just about if not perfectly replicate old games, but the feeling of a good controller in your hands is something hard to get right- and not something you can recompile, update over the internet and deploy on an fpga. Unless you have like a thousand-dollar 3D printer.

My standards aren't that high personally, it's just the race to the bottom on manufacturing costs for third and even first party controllers (looking at you, Sony- and also you, Nintendo with your awful Switch Pro Dpad) makes everything feel like a cheap piece of shit. I'd kill for a premium controller that focused on build quality- think mechanical switches and a titanium shell, as opposed to the Xbox Elite's focus on modularity (and atrocious QC).
Also I get why it doesn't happen, but Nintendo could really turn the screws on people if they took a leaf out of Apple's book and released something like the OLED Switch in a more premium finish with aluminum and glass. Gamers are an aging demographic, they have money and they want nice things, this shouldn't be left to nerds with a cnc machine like that steelsticks douchebag who hasn't restocked his shit in 18 months.

Looking at the page for the mt32-pi lite
>pic related
Oh cool, so is there a BOM or a parts list (that literally takes 5 seconds to put together) anywhere?
>nope, just "here's the parts you can probs find on aliexpress can't remember what the resistors were as well idunno lmao gud luck"
Why are euros like this?

>>8988469
>another USB port
That's actually the better version. It gets power through one of the A ports, usually comes with a power splitter with a barrel plug and USB A.

>>8988713
Just buy the snac cable off ebay for a few bucks.
I personally am not doing any mt32pi stuff yet due to pi prices being retarded right now.

>>8988753
Most cases and addons still want you to have the barrel plug version of the board
>power through usb
ehhhhhhhhh

>>8988781
I bought mine as a complete kit so I didn't have to worry about it honestly.

>>8988515
All they need to do is release proper USB versions of their fucking controllers.
To get a proper SNES controller that isn't 25 years old or "refurbished" with shitty chink membranes I was forced to buy a sufami mini, cable extender, and a raphnet adapter (not cheap).
At least snoy had the decency to use USB on the PlayStation classic, and make the controllers exact replicas with a ultra low latency microcontroller. Don't tell anyone

>>8987592
I always misread it as RalphNet.

>>8988901
Randnet was an actual thing though, and related to Nintendo.

I like the autistic little lights

>>8989545
And I thought modern PCs had a lot of RGB

>>8989705
That's not rgb

>>8989545
Does the USB hub have lights by default?

>>8991879
Official USB hub has one LED per USB slot which only turns on when a device is connected.

>>8991879
I have a wifi dongle, a BT dongle, a 256gb USB drive and 4 controllers plugged in so yeah its a light show

Debating whether to buy a ITX conversion kit or wait for Mister Express, but who knows when that thing will be out.

>>8992825
I don't see why you'd want to bulk it up
The standard stack in a case is much more compact and does the same thing.

>>8993582
I just want it to look nice, don't like having cables and adapters from every angle.

>>8993678
But anon, having cables come out of every side is part of the mister aesthetic

Anyone else completely unable to get PS1 working with VGA out?
I have VGA scandoubler on and sync to 480i works on the bios startup but not in game

>>8984483
No they use the cyclone V, just with less LUT's, which essentially is like having less lego blocks to build the castle. Which doesn't really matter because they're not trying to replicate the cartridges just the console itself.

>>8988781
>>8988753
What about manufacturer? I don't want to risk getting one that's going to give me glitches like my current 7 Port MTT Hub.

>>8994050
Just get one from an aliexpress listing that has reviews

>>8994493
>>8994050
This. I got a MiSTer USB add on from aliexpress and it works perfectly fine.

Is it worth getting a mister now? Is it likely to drop in price at any point?

>>8994954
Yes.
Intel knows nerds are using their subsidised learning platform for vidya. Factor in inflation and the chip shortage, buy this thing right fucking now if you ever want one.

>>8994954
Hard to say. Inflation is driving the price of everything up, and it could be at least another year before production ramps up to pre-pandemic levels, assuming the world doesn't go through some other bullshit in the next couple years. Maybe China starts a war with Taiwan, Maybe Putins robot mutant hybrid army takes over the world. If you think theres a possibility things will get better considering the types of people in charge of things these days, then take that gamble.

>>8994954
It won't get any cheaper, hopefully prices stay how they are now.
