The FPGA is able to emulate the physical logic of original consoles. They are literally programmable to "become" the chips they are attempting to recreate at a logical level.

Emulators attempt to do this by brute-force and approximation. FPGA's are able to just run with the exact specifications of the original hardware. This eliminates (100%) input lag, allows you to accurately reproduce video in its original intended format (RGB), and is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. You could stick a mister and a mistercade into a JAMMA cabinet and no one would know the difference.

No, they are not capable of any such thing. This is magical thinking. Also, you have no idea what "on a logical level" means in this case.
>FPGA's are able to just run with the exact specifications of the original hardware.
How? If the exact specifications of the original hardware aren't available, then they're not capable of any such thing. If the specifications ARE available, then they're just as available to software emulation development. No need for "brute force" or "approximation" at all.
>This eliminates (100%) input lag
No, it doesn't. This is just factually wrong, like most everything else you've typed.
>allows you to accurately reproduce video in its original intended format (RGB)
So does any competent software emulator.

I heard the mister can perfectly replicate your shitty inefficient brain perfectly WITHOUT emulation! How you might ask? Through what is technically emulation! But remember, it ISN'T emulation! You'll feel REALLY smart dropping that 600 bucks down on yet another electronic brick that will collect dust.

If the digital foundry reviews of FPGA products are anything to go by, then they really are glorified emulation machines for your average hobbyist/vintage gamer.

FPGA is extremely interesting and will make a big impact on the emulation community, and has a lot of potential for emulating the tougher consoles, but it's going to take years for it to reach it's apex.

Go on though, be an early-adopter cuck and beta test it for me. Then when they are 150 bucks I'll consider it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but while anything is technically possible you'll probably run into an issue with the current Mister where there's not enough gate arrays on the DE-10 nano currently in use to simulate any of those consoles. If it happens it'll probably be on a future generation of FPGA hardware.
Keep in mind these things are monstrously expensive to purchase at a certain point, and for any given core someone has to decap and trace all the ICs on the original console mobo and then write them in a language the FPGA unit can understand. Console power grew exponentially from 4th > 5th > 6th generation before kinda plateauing. With proportionate increases in console hardware the task of creating cores becomes significantly harder. I think people are already busy just trying to get PSX and Saturn cores running. So maybe in like 10-20 years?

>> No.7452269

You can explain the technical details until you're blue in the face. They don't understand them and wouldn't care even if they did. All they care about is that their piece of consumer electronics isn't a software emulator running on a PC. They can't even tell you why that matters. All they know is that by buying this thing, they've avoided the "le poorfag emulation meemay xD" and managed to score what they've convinced themselves is the next best thing to owning original hardware.

Why don't we have threads like "Hey, anyone tested the new cps2 beta? How is it?" or "Got any tips for new user, I want to try XY, but I can't find the files" or "Hey here is a good DIY case you can use XY for YZ"
Instead we have every fucking time the same cancer.
For the first time, after CRT's mostly diapered, it's not about scalers, cables or settings it's about turning "it" on and play some good in the old fashion without thinking about "ah you know ... the sounds seems odd it's not the same as it was" or "Dude how the fuck did I miss that jump!" or "No no you see those jail bars your cable is shit" or "Yeah look there is the problem you need to set the input to sdl not xinput".

I don't like to play on my original SNES because modern TV's handles analog signals like shit and as much as I like CRT's I don't want one anymore because of reasons.
Emulators on PC or a PI are nice but the experience is shit.
I had some good memory using a GBA Emulator as a kid because I don't had one, and I didn't care much how they run as long as I could play some "free" games.
Playing Metal Slug on the PC was the shittiest experience ever.
At one point i tried the highly praised bsnes it was okay but still missing jumps, needs to setup runahad to compensate problems then the sound was off jitter ... etc.
Now I have finally found peace and don't get mad because missing any jumps or some shit ... I played Super Mario World, F-Zero, all Metal Slug games, Sonic CD and started Snatcher recently and from time to time I enjoy a couple rounds of Street Fighter and a few puzzle games.
I even recently started Snatcher.

If you just want RGB out you can get an HDMI to VGA converter for ~$6. If you turn on direct_video in the config it works the same as the analog out on the IO board, but the tradeoff is that HDMI out won't work until you turn it back off.

Occasional dongle use is fine, the DE 10 HDMI is as solid as any other consumer device. I prefer the dedicated board myself for other reasons (extra SD, power switch, fan, audio) and of course you can play through VGA and record through HDMI with the addon board. Also the VGA board does render to screen quicker than the HDMI as you can see in this video.

I think these fpgas and flash carts have really made it clear that there are at least two types of collectors.

Absolutely. And I have quite a few Flash Carts from Krikzz and Stone Age, but when it comes to CD systems. It just doesn't feel right to have them on hours at a time to play JRPG's anymore.
Plus you have to think about just how many systems you'll have access to with the MiSTer. Compared to how many systems and Flash Carts you'll need to play the same amount of games in nearly the same way.
I built my self a near zero latency USB to Genesis (9-pin Din) adapter with an Arduino and the code I downloaded for free from a guy that also builds and sells these things too. I built a double. Don't do that. Build two single controller adapters. The double can't be used for fighting games. It can only handle so many inputs at ounce. And you can pretty much make them for what ever controller you want to use. Saturn Controllers are amazing. PlayStation controllers are really good and cheap for now too.

People really seem to freak out over the FPGA stuff as if it was some richfag premium product. The same people who claim PI is for poorfags. Ignoring the shipping costs in this example due to Canadafagotry, the DE-10 is barely twice the price of a PI. It is not a prohibitively priced product. The DE-10 costs less than something like the NES everdrive.

The added costs come from adding RGB output and other add ons, but a PI has similar add-ons. JAMMA for PI RGB is 50 euros, and the JAMMA board for the Mister is 60 euros. You can build a fancy case for either, add a USB hub for either, nothing is stopping you.

The canadian exchange is around 1.30 or so, so about $140 US for the FPGA and $64 for the PI. They are slightly more expensive on amazon than at a place like canakit.

Digikey.ca has the DE-10 for $184 but cheaper shipping. Canakit has the barebones pi 4 for $74 Canadian but add $10 shipping, so the PI works out the same.

The official USB deck at 1000hz poll rating will give you 1-2 ms latency wired unless your USB controller for some reason refuse to poll at that rate, the HDMI is digital-to-digital so it's up to how your monitor/TV negotiate the protocol and the displays inherent latency unless you enable vsync buffering. A high end PC gaming monitor has typically around 3ms input lag and with something like the LG C9 OLED TV in gaming mode you get around 7ms of input lag.

The MiSTer and the Analogue consoles (consistently well under a frame/16ms) is as fast as it gets without going OG hardware on a CRT. Other than lower lag, FPGA solutions offer consistency in frame-pacing, something just as important for giving you a authentic feel and response. It's here where "cycle accurate" emulators running on some kind of high-level OS always fail, the emulation isn't any more "cycle accurate" than the OS it's relying on running it.

FPGAs get configured to become the systems PCBs with all it's chips and processes running real-time in parallel straight to the HDMI port without going through the layer of a OS with a massive overhead scheduling hundreds of other unrelated processes/services at the same time. You can even see the benefit of this stable consistency on youtube videos running games on the MiSTer/Analogue systems, and as you can probably imagine you'll certainly feel i. It's kind of like that revelation you first get going from a 60hz monitor to a 144hz or when you first got a SSD system disk on your PC, it's just smoother, more natural, better.

The biggest thing is latency. You can get hardware exact latency on MiSTer and a CRT, where you really can't on emulators - no matter what you'll always have OS and USB latency to fuck things up.

Sure you can get pretty close with Runahead, but it's not hardware exact, you are essentially doing a bunch of rollbacks on the background.

Some people also don't enjoy playing old games on PC. Exiting the game and going back to a windows launcher kinda ruin the illusion you know?

>comparing FPGA to Wii

Wow, now I've really seen all the copes. Apart from the blatant hardware differences that favour FPGA, the development scene for FPGA is much more active. It's already more accurate and heading to a point where an FPGA core is an exact copy of the original hardware. Software emulation cannot reach this point. The easiest way to explain this is to think of a piece of hardware as a maze with a number of items that have to be collected before exiting the maze. Hardware emulation recreates the same maze, software emulation is an entirely different and often bigger maze. Brute force is the only way to achieve parity and timing video, audio, input & output are next to impossible to synchronize. This is hard enough on one configuration of pc parts or a Wii, but when you consider the infinite configurations of pc hardware out there, you see why devs are moving to FPGA in droves. The difference between MiSTer Neo Geo and any software emulation of Neo Geo is people have documented actual Neo Geo hardware and recreated the circuit that run an actual Neo Geo, warts an all.

In your opinion, and it's a perfectly valid opinion. You want X and FPGA isn't quite there yet.

People that own a MISTer, what's your setting ?
I'm using vscale_mode=1 and Integer scale only ( cause that's the best to use for a 1440p monitor )

and vsync_adjust=2 low latency mode.. and it's a bit weird but I don't have tearing despite my monitor being only 60hz, it doesn't have a freesynch mode either, so I'm not sure how I'm avoiding the issue ...

And regarding filters for the specific core, at first I liked using soft scanlines filters for 8 and 16 bits games, they are really well done on MISTer.

But after the update that allowed to output 1920x1440p, I just like having pixel perfect x6 scale with raw very sharp pixels.

Just got the MiSTer. Don't have the SDRAM yet, still waiting on it. Had it all setup in less than 30 minutes. Shit just works, my 4k TV was compatible with the low lag mode (figured as much, since OSSC is fine on it).

Played some games, messed with settings. Tried it out on an old VGA monitor I had sitting around. It's amazing.

Best output is somewhat subjective, though being a CRt purist i'd recommend using CRt, yeah.

>heh, it comes to the same result but in a DIFFERENT way. I am so intellectually superior and you fell for my trap.
Everyone knows it's not exactly the same, but it still kinda is as it's still an approximation of the hardware it's pretending to be. It's worse than emulation in a lot of cases because of how early in development it is, and how limited affordable FPGAs are at the moment.

It's neat but why-bother tier? Just get a VRR capable display and use low latency emulators and its one benefit is gone, and you just have a gimmicky little device that's far more limited a PC at this point, and probably always will be for 6th gen.

You need either 64MB (basically extinct nowadays) or 128MB SDRAM module if you want to play the largest 32MB GBA games like Mother 3 or Urbz: Sims in the City. Also the new CPS-2 core will probably require more than 32MB for the largest games.

SiDi is about $60 cheaper, has 4 usb ports and 32mb sdram on the board so most cores work out of the box, also vga on board instead of requiring an IO addon. No neo geo or other large cores though.

I also got sizable collection of original hardware and mostly got it for the arcade stuff (don't have space for all that!) and as a more convenient Amiga and DOS computer (where accuracy is REALLY important beyond lag/frame-pacing). Whats also great is that I can use it on my CRT TV for max authenticity and nostalgia or hook it up to my 65" OLED for big-screen action most of us could only dream of in the 90s.

Seems like mostly hardware guys owning original kit are really into it, but I hope newbies consider it too since prices for real systems and games are RIDICULOUSLY expensive nowadays. If it's good enough for a lot of us hardcore enthusiast/collectors to be used interchangeably then I hope that counts for something before those late to the game get sticker-shock on original hardware and just fold.

There's a couple small business owners (semi-professional hobbyists, really) assembling new CRTs from warehoused parts for specific applications like museums exhibits that rely on the tech. However the parts have almost run out and it's impossible to manufacture both financially (without the large-scale demand) and legally (lead/toxic chemicals involved).
You can't go into a store to buy a CRT obviously, but if you have a lot of money you can buy a, quote, "new" unit. But in 5 years even that wont be possible.

N64 will never run on the DE10 Nano with current mister configuration. It would need to include an extra chip addon. But it could happen eventually I think someones working on it.

Yer... ok, i'll concede the point about NOS CRT's. You're kinda splitting hairs though. There are also still places all over Asia selling salvaged tubes with universal chassis in a cheaper-than-ever plastic and calling them new, and that's going to go on for longer. Either way you'll do better quality-wise picking up a used Panasonic or NEC off the kerb and RGB-modding it - those will mostly be good as they day they left the factory. And you're only kinda right about that well drying up soon, the long tail will keep going for a while yet, just have to look harder..

People don't consider this aspect of the argument enough. Granted, it doesn't offset the total waste from modern technology very much (were making more of it and it becomes obsolete faster) CRTs and tube tech disposal is toxic as hell and flat panels are much safer to recycle.

Nope, If there are any stutters, screen tearing or fps dips in any game (PC or emulator) I spend the time to configure them for the best performance. I apply the same effort to my separate emulation box and if I can't get completely smooth performance from an emulator, I drop it.

A lot of the people complaining are literally just normies who want to play super mario bros for 2 hours and nothing else though, can't comprehend the value you get for the recreations of things that are super expensive now like a lot of retrocomputer cores.
