>>7238304
but is it Better

>> No.7238343

For plug and play products, the Analogue stuff is pretty decent. The Mega SG, while probably not perfectly spot on, is damn good, and much better than the majority of software emulators out there, save for the highest end ones, and there's video documentation from Digital Foundry on this and others.

The real benefit is that it's fucking braindead simple to use, but still comes with a ton of amenities, like total cart compatability, CD compatability if you have one or one of the newer flash carts, you can fully edit the sound to your preference, and you can jailbreak it too, if you just want to play all the shit with no carts, including Master System and Game Gear.

In my opinion, it's nicer than fiddling with a bunch of emulators on PC, and it's only a little nicer than a Mister, in terms of convenience, but the Mister has more that it can do, though that then involves more effort, but it's not as endless as it is with PC (and saying that, I was still testing out various things with a billion different Saturn emulators the other day, all if which were inaccurate to the real thing, but at least had some memory tools for debugging shit and dumping, which you won't get on any FPGA console, not yet anyway).

All that in mind, it's all half steps to just playing on the real hardware, which is actually shockingly easy to maintain and repair, and some are made so fucking well that they'll outlive you if you keep them up. And there really is no better experience than playing in the real thing, except maybe in the case of the original PlayStation, which really needed a 2x resolution boost in almost every game.

The Arcade space is definitely the one place where Mister and emulation in general are great, although I would kill for a real Marvel vs Capcom cabinet with one of those awesome arcade multi-mode CRTs.

Those darksoft flash boards for CPS1-3 are very tempting, but even then there are analog options for these emulation systems, albeit occasionally esoteric.

For now I have to live with home ports of arcade games, which turned out pretty decent and with nice extras in a small handful of cases, such as on the Saturn and Dreamcast. Or Hell even the Neo Geo CD.

I'm sure you have tested the MISTer to tell that uh ? Just buy the DE10 Nano Terasic board, it's all you need to start, the rest is optional, only the SDRAM will be required for the neo geo and arcade cores, but the rest doesn't need it.

>> No.7238608

>>7238539
I like mine, and it will depend on the ones you get The SD2SNES (FXPAK Pro now) is very transformative for the SNES. The SNES had all these helper chips in the cart, that even things like the jailbreak for the Super NT won't run because it requires extra FPGA cycles.

This part year has seen lots of hacks that take advantage of those helper chips, making games like Contra and Castlevania and even Street Fighter Alpha 2 run better, plus there's lots of PCM audio developments and even the Super Game Boy is supported, so you can straight up load Game Boy games now, and play them in an official and fairly accurate way (with support for SGB 1 and 2 timings).

For Genesis, there's not as much of that, but the latest high end carts support CD emulation, so you can play CD games without needing the add-on or burning CD-Rs, and there's a lot of those CD games that are actually shockingly good or the preferred versions, such as Earthworm Jim. It also gives you direct support for Master System games on real hardware, and it can even emulate the FM Synth for some awesome audio in a lot of games.

The higher end NES carts offer the same kind of add-on chip support and mapper support to play more games, but I feel like emulating NES is a better way to go most of the time.

For Saturn, I definitely recommend an ODE or a Satiator. There are tons of games for that system, and so many that many people never have even seen are worth a good playthrough, and that Saturn scene is starting to pick up.

And of course, Dreamcast has a mod scene now too, so it's ODEs are useful, especially with a lot of new translations (for the Saturn as well this year) and the Atomiswave ports.

The Mister rocks.It's not original hardware and it never will be, but it's still amazing in it's own right.

I've been running a GroovyMAME PC for several years, with Frame Delay set to 8-9, outputting to a 15kHz CRT - as far as i'm aware that's about as perfect as arcade emulation gets on the PC. But the MiSTer is an immediate and noticeable step above that, in terms of both input latency and video output. Which last means it's a big improvement over most if not all original consoles in that regard.

The main problem I have with it is finding HDMI-to-VGA adapters that work with the 15kHz Direct Video setting and can handle composite sync. I went through half a dozen from ebay/aliexpress and finally ended up using an old one i had in a drawer.

These idiots don't understand the difference between PC and FPGA emulation, especially when it comes to MiSTer. A MiSTer is a specific piece of kit and any problems that arise can be fixed and applied to all MiSTers with very lean code. PC emulators need to solve for millions of configurations, which change everyday, hence the need for golems like runahead - to gloss over the fact that PC emulation is fucking retarded in a world that now has dedicated hardware for emulation. FPGA is an attempt to replicate the original hardware with dedicated resources as opposed to a bloated piece of software sitting on another piece of bloated software that is competing with all the other pieces of bloated software holding together the Frankenstein PC. FPGA only gets better over time whilst PC continues to fight against the tide bloatware.

They don't value compatibility or having a single system then.
I don't personally like emulating on PC because PC for me isn't for gaming, it's for media and 4chan. I don't have the mental willpower to actually emulate on PC because its too distracting to be a click away from 4chan or whatever.
So I got myself a famicom and hooked it up to a crt by my PC setup and it's really nice to have both seamlessly set up like that. But if I could've chosen an FPGA instead I would've because it'd be guaranteed to have good video output unlike this AV mod I got which ended up having jailbars. And with FPGA I can use any input. No lag. No scaling issues or anything. Compatibility has come far enough accuracy is as good as it can get practically.
So I don't see why I should prefer some shitty Vita or my shit posting machine when I could get a separate machine that does the job better and more smoothly

I think emulation is fine for most of the older game consoles. MiSTER seems to be showing itself as the best way to emulate arcade games using an FPGA. Though Neo-Geo is suppose to be really accurate recreation too. I think it depends on what you want to emulate. There's so many optional ways to emulate games now. There's no need to go "all out" on FPGA unless you really are going for something specific. A PC/ Laptop is still the best way to emulate games. Even an older second hand i3 or i5's can make good candidates. Download retroarch to your phone/ tablet. Mod a game console or mini console. Build a SBC (Orange Pi, Raspberry Pi), or even get a Raspberry Pi 400 or something. There are lots of options. Most give you similar results.

Nintendo made the SNES. The 1CHIP was an edit of their original design files. It's a revision. The Super Nt and MiSTer were based off software emulators, which were made by *not-Nintendo*, which were built on guesswork and reverse engineering. They're emulators.

This is false. The different architecture will always mean things are different. You can bs all you want and come up with some possible theoretical way it could be the same - it ain't happening pal. Not unless it's the same architecture or otherwise one to one hardware - ie. FPGA in the first place.

>>7242371
>Analogue had the gall to advertise their Super NT as a 'reference quality' SNES replica. Years later it still has unresolved bugs which are not present in the real SNES.
Those "bugs" are due to things like (natively) scaling the output for HDMI, they are not to do with playing the game itself you tard. They couldn't be, because the Super NT is literally a SNES in its input and output.

A Raspberry Pi 400 may be a good option here. It is a variation on the raspberry Pi 4, with 4GB of RAM in a chicklet style keyboard case shell, for $90 (base) to $130 (with mouse, cables, etc). Find a Playstation Classic for cheap, get an OTG adapter and a 64GB USB stick and softmod it.

I think FPGA has its place, as it can be a good way to recreate actual hardware. Not shitting on it at all. But it is a little more costly for some, and there are cheaper alternatives that can still produce good enough to great results for those who don't care about perfect hardware emulation.

That's the real crux of the problems and insecurity of the anti-FPGA brainlets right there:

- They are too lazy to solder or do anything at all that might require time and a little effort.
- They are too dumb to attempt to assemble even the simplest of things anyways, bet they write their shit post on pre-buildt/laptop PC or phones.

They get filtered hard and cry about it, they're just all-round trash. I mean, even people in poor shithole countries in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin-America go FPGA, these slobs got no excuse.

The MiSTer looks like it's only worth it for arcade cores written by Based Jotego and Furrtek's NeoGeo core. To my knowledge, they are the only MiSTer core authors who go the more hardcore route with actually decapping the ICs. All the other cores for computers and consoles seem to be largely based on findings in software emulation but without the benefits you'd expect from traditional software-based PC emulators like save states and fastfowarding.

Well, one dev responsible for the GBA core does add those quality of life features, he is currently reworking the GB/GBC core with rewind, fast forwarding and save states. It just requires significant rework of the core framework and other devs are not interested in those features yet.

You need the board, buy it on amazon (around 130$), and also the SD ram, the best is to buy the 128 mb for full compatibility and you can buy it on ebay or mister addon shop.

Oh yeah there is also the cooling to take in account. You can buy a cheap heatsink on ebay around 3$ but you must be careful about the size and it should have thermal paste applied already on it.

It's not an excuse but think how long it took the everdrive to have save states and the everdrive dose only mimik a game module. Maybe its not true for the Mega Everdrive Pro but that's still "only" the CD addon instead the full consol.

As people mentioned in this thread the focus of the mister project is more to preserve the internal logic of a console/arcade board then rather create gimmicks for the core.

That's also the reason why an FPGA is used. Instead of using a traditional cpu that tries to translate the instructions of the game to a nonnative architecture and doing other things like simulating DSP's for sound and other stuff an FPGA is more suited for this kind of work. No matter how good your cpu is it still works instruction by instruction.

An FPGA consist of many little LUTs that can be programmed to Logic gates. Hopefully you know that even your CPU is build out of this logic gates. Someone who writes a core for such an FPGA describes the Architecture of the IC's and how they are connected. This is done in a HDL. The downside of an FPGA is that the max clock frequency isn't that high, but it doesn't need to be if your target system is running only at a low frequency like a SNES.


And that is the difference between a emulator and the MiSTer. Not all cores are as accurate like the NeoGeo core where most of the IC's has been decaped but even if the logic is the same like in a Emulator the fpga dont suffer from timing issues because everything is happening in parallel and is not translated step by step while the underlying os and other applications have to share the same resources.

Wildly depends on what you like out of games. I often get so focused ("in the zone") when playing that it becomes more reaction then actual thought and ends up being somewhat relaxing+meditative as weird as that may sound, but I've also been playing them for years so I've got that backing as well. That and I just plain find the gameplay fun and 1CCing games satisfying.

>Is anyone else excited about the upcoming cps2 core?
CPS2 is fairly spot with software emulation on for most games in Finalburn, but some still have timing issues to this day, Progear probably being the worst offender (Yeah I know, another shump). But having nice low latency output to my CRT for Super Turbo and Vampire Savior is going to be awesome. Now that CPS is basically complete CPS2 should come quick since its largely the same hardware.

When it does work for select games, it works amazingly well and is a impressive and novel way of lowering latency, but at least for the shit I've played about 80% of the time it causes micro jitters all the time, regardless of settings.
RA really needs a runahead database that applies the correct settings for games if they work with it and disables it when it dosn't.
