I'm dangerously close to getting a FPGA thingy for Saturn. Please talk me out of it or give me an idea of what I'd be in for. Also if there's already a thread for FGPA stuff I'm sorry but apparently I'm a blind retard and missed it.

What does that have to do with anything. Proper FPGA implementation means that uniqueness is preserved forever.
I love originonal hardware. I have a Saturn, Sega CD, Playstation, PCEngine with CDRom2, 3DO, CDI. When it comes to original hardware and cartridges I prefer playing on the original hardware. When it comes to CD-Rom based consoles I prefer FPGA.
I hopeing they'll eventually get Atari Jaguar with the CD-ROM added to MiSTer since I don't have the toilet attachment and I don't ever plan on getting one. Also it's cool that MiSTer got NeoGeo CD for the few exclusives and variants of the NeoGeo games for it.

If you can afford one just do it, you won't regret it. I was on the fence for a long time but as soon as I bought one straight away I could tell the difference from emulating, and that was a few years back it is much better now.

Caveat: Saturn is not complete and won't be for a while longer as I understand it.

I just want to see it pushed further and further. I'm not unhappy with the core. I was playing Heroes of Might and Magic II and having a blast with it.
I built my MiSTer into a custom aluminum enclosure that was for a VGA Splitter in early 2020. It was meant to be mainly used for the Computer Cores, but since I usually have it connected to a television instead of having a monitor stacked on top of it; it's been a Video Game Console Machine for most of its life.
>>10134743
It works. There's Zipped packages available for so many of the cores now that it's a piece of cake to set up for many of them. If you want to drive a CRT then you want to get the Analog add on board instead of the digital. It works good. I wish I could have Optical Audio out with my Analog board connected. I'm willing to be it's possible, but I haven't dived into looking into that for a while so it might already be possible.
The ST in MiSTer is for the 16bit Atari computer platform. The whole project was mainly for the Computer cores. It got hijacked for Video Game Consoles, but I'm certainly not complaining.

If I want to pay nothing but the components for MiSTer related boards. I can do that. If I want to pay someone whose already built and tested the boards for a mark up. I can do that too.
People are free to spend as much or as little as they would like depending on their intelligence and capabilities.
I sure wouldn't waste money on a typical case made for the MiSTer Project. Some of the newer speciality cases are very nice and worth the money. I'm very happy with my anodized aluminum boutique VGA Switcher Box that's the size of a smaller desktop computer from the mid 90's. I paid $25 for it from someone that worked for the company in the middle of Pennsylvania.
I've always felt the early MiSTer cases were too bare bones. Left too much exposed and were a complete waste of money. However you won't find me throwing a hissy fit every time I see one.

Saturn is still in development but will be released soon (cannot save in current version for example). I never tried saturn on it so I cannot comment.

The MisTer in general is quite good, runs anything up to PS1 with virtually no lag, and can be connected to CRTs and original controllers, but also works with HDMI and Bluetooth, meaning it is a versatile machine.

It's the 80% rule, you can run all the games on hardware you already have for virtually no cost (80% of the way with 20% of the cost), but if you want to get a dedicated machine with low lag (the extra 20%) you have to pay the premium cost.

Advantage over real hardware is that you get to play many more platforms on it, no reason to change cables and the menus are simple and well designed.

Disadvantage is that it is not a 1:1 hardware clone, it is emulation that is frame accurate but not the same as the original hardware. It cannot be because FPGA technology has limits and the platforms being implemented are not open nor fully known by the devs.

That's quite a blanket statement. Many of the systems implemented in FPGA are well understood and documented, definitely components like CPU etc are validated to be perfectly accurate up to about 68000. Past that there's still work to be done.

he could do it by seeing the frames only, the only thing which adds by counting is the input lag of the tv which is only used for comparing different tv sets, not seeing lag on the same setup, the way anon is doing it is the right and correct way and you are just being a retarded shill to get people into overspending on a mister and making a retarded fight with software emulation when the mister and software emulation have the same capacities and work together, with the advantage of the mister of being more portable.

Everything costs money, that's not the point. I don't know if it's falseflagging or just insecurity, but there are quite a few people around these threads who put MiSTer in a godly pedestal, always pushing a supposed perfection of FPGA (even with test results showing flaws).

In every discussion thread around here, be it old PCs, original consoles, emulation or CRTs, people talk about the good and the bad. However, this does not seem possible in MiSTer threads, because you can only praise the device, or else, shills get offended. I've never seen such insecurity, not even in Reddit.

All sane users knows Saturn isn't perfect on MiSTer, there's a lot to be done, but shills kept pushing it to OP as if it's some sort of scam. What's your meaning of "discussion"? Lowering your head to every half-truth posted and be ok with it just because? I'd suggest opening up your own imageboard and deleting each comment that tickles your sensitivity, if that's your vibe. Argument and counter-argument has been as online boards always worked.

Bad news: my phone sucks, it doesn't film as slowly as I wanted. Good news: the test is doable. Just watch the video at 25% for better results.

What I used:
>RetroArch with Vulkan video driver, Max Swapchain Images set to 2, Polling Behavior set to Early, Automatic Frame Delay set to On, Frame Delay to Auto.
>My living room TV, a run-of-the-mill LCD screen with Game Mode turned on.
>A desktop PC with a Ryzen 5 4600G, no external GPU.
>A Logitech F310 controller (it's wired).
>Software: 240p Test Suite v1.061, for the SNES, ran through current Snes9x core.
>No run-ahead was used, to avoid glitchy scenarios.

With that, it seems that the same 2-frame input lag from that MiSTer video was achieved. But you can do worse, since I later tried with Max Swapchain Images set to 3 and input lag fluctuated around 3 frames.

Share your thoughts, help me improve the test.

in general the retroarch goes to 2 frames on snes, the same as mister.
in general the default settings are very good for performance, early polling behavior and higher swapchain images cause more lag by the inputs being done after the core logic, aside from not working like how old consoles worked it makes for a very fucky feeling while playing, early polling just like frameskip are just when you cannot run the game correctly, auto frame delay is just how most emus run things so in general you are getting the near full experience, swapchain images in this case is dependant but the default of 2 swapchain is alright, even if you should have used opengl too to be even more consistent and review all of the factors.

i'm not the one who made the test, in general emus aren't that bad on latency, it's just that most comparisons do latency tests with devices without enough power to make the emulator run a 100% perfectly, the mister is better doing this because it's focused hardware which can be bought cheaper than rasperry pis if done correctly, being more accurate and not running like shit.

wtih the basic ram, fpga, excellent cooler, tv, hdmi cables, sd card reader with the sd and usb otg adapter costs 395 dollars, this is by putting things that you most likely have (sd card reader, hdmi and tv with an usb otg adapter) and by using shitty prices for the fpga, in general you could get a nano for 25 dollars if you don't go into the low quantity market and more. with this a mister can do all consoles until the fifth gen without any issues while adding addons, better latency and better running games, as a portable pc made to play games which has less risk to damage itself than a desktop one while giving a way to preserve the chipset architecture at the same time

If someone were to spend 395 dollars in a glorified emulation box, he should get a PC instead. He would emulate more systems, play native PC games, browse the internet, watch videos and much more.

You have it backwards. MemeSTer isn't a "super expensive luxury", it's overpriced to emulate old 16-bit games when there are far better options to emulate 16-bit hardware. The actual "super expensive luxury" you can't afford is a gaming PC that can do both retro & modern games, including one that has an FPGA board built into it. The Chuds in the MemeSTer community seethe over the fact that people like myself own original hardware, with the option of playing on CRT or on HDTV(with HDMI converters). And unlike your MemeSTer device, our consoles & games go up in value(much like Gold & Silver). The whole "rotting plastic" is a coping mechanism for your failure to afford consoles or a beefy gaming PC with an FPGA board built into it. I have both a gaming PC & multiple consoles.

Its just so easy to troll, mister advocates act like its god's gift, when in reality emulation is much more capable. The only issue is getting 15khz signals out of a pc isn't a walk in the park. So a mister makes sense for that. But for anything else, emulation is better. People that say they can feel a difference just don't know how to set up an emulator, or test input lag. All that said, I still want a mister, because I like messing with stuff like that, and have 7 crts.

You're right, but the truth of the matter is, MiSTer is more consistent and easier to get maximum performance out of. It's set it and forget it. It has never given me any issues ever since I've gotten it 3 years ago and I've beaten hundreds of games.

With a PC you can match MiSTer's latency (well you can't on the audio lag department, but you can get it to be low enough on PC that it doesn't bother me, although some people may be anal about it), but you really have to tinker a lot with Retroarch, have the pest possible monitor, etc. I've been doing that since 2012 or so when Retroarch started being good, and I just got tired of tinkering. Not to mention Retroarch's gamepad support fucking stinks, wish they'd just copy MiSTer's and call it a day. I don't use a CRT, but if you do then MiSTer wins on that regard without contest.

I got one a couple of years ago, and highly recommend it. Especially if you plan on using with a CRT. I'm not going to pretend to understand how accurate it is, but the convenience of having multiple 'consoles' connected to a CRT with minimal to no additional lag makes it a joy to use.

Meds. How can you install spyware on an FPGA? More importantly why should I care if a device I use to play arcade games has spyware on it. People who actually have something to hide use a mixture of devices they assume are full of spyware when they are doing something normal and black box privacy setups when they are doing something that requires privacy. Only freetards think you need one computer to do everything because they are worried the government will find out that they are ricing their command line only Arch setup.

a management engine can be easily put by recording specific commands like playing a game, simple things like that on pre build systems made by others is very easy to do by recognizing certain commands and then recording the action or simply recording every line of code of the fpga .
in general the real problem which can be proven is the issue of giving money to intel is making it already bigger than it already it's and encouraging their tactics and that they spread even more to other products, even then, checking the history of an fpga could be useful to steal other people chipsets and getting onto commercial patterns to sell the data of the programs used on it to sell it to third parties for publicity or copyright coertion by getting with it the chance of using it for checking for highly known dumps of media to cause a fee similar to an internet isp one which intel could be given a part of the benefit of them for the action.
i'm not saying that this happens on the fpga tho, there isn't any proof, just be careful at using products from any computer company on these days, no one knows the things a computer system can do on the background by the closed source and the size of these systems (an issue which can only be solved by communal writing or less technology adjacent systems).

Yeah.
