Is there a PC-98 core that can run old Touhou games yet

>>7943672
Try Zet98 core by puu.

How much beer bux do I need for a complete system with controllers

>>7943840
$350 ish, but it depends what you mean by complete.

NES:
- Update palettes from Sho's v2.4 (Terry Janas).
- Enable large mapper 28 (Kitrinx).
- Updated framework.

Did the MiSTer swap to component output for some reason? Sorry, I'm retarded, it's just if that's the case I'm not sure why it happened or how it's working having not touched the dips on the RGB interface.

SNES core got updated, the most important game got fixed

kek

$300 for a glorified emu box???

>>7946857
Yup. Totally not worth it bro.

mister is a piece of garbage, a series S with retroarch is much cheaper and does way more.

b-b-b-b-but latency... Shut the hell up. I have one word: Runahead.

Someone's emulator dropped frames...

>>7947051
RetroArch is trash on Series S / X.

It's limited to 1080p even if you output at 4K because 4K resolution requires an ID@Xbox account and RetroArch won't ever get approved on ID@Xbox because MS don't allow emulators on their store.

>>7947051
Fuck off Microsoft shill

>last thread died
like it does every time after 100 posts, half of which are just trolls/a pissing match, because that's most of the excitement there is to be had from this thing is defending your purchase online. lol

The mister is a god damn piece of garbage. I threw mine in the trash

>>7947051
Latency.

>>7947580
There's just not much to talk about. There's no significant developments or anything like that. And very few people on this board actually own one or care since real hardware owners are chads who don't give a shit what other people do and the rest are poorfag sour grapes losers who emulate for free games 'cause new ones don't run on their garbage indian toasters, like you.

>>7942929
The mister support retroachievements?

>>7947659
No. Retroachievements only works with software emulation.

>>7947658
loool bro.. you're fucking GAY. you realize original /vr/ hardware isn't expensive or hard to find, right? that's pretty much all I use

Any news on the Playstation core?

>>7948478
Nah, only last progress is on Saturn core

Mister is a piece
Of shit

>>7948478
Looks like Laxer got a bit better after his burnout, development is still going but intentionally at a snail's pace to not burn out again. He does not intent to charge his Patreon anymore.

>>7949278
Where was this posted?

>>7949438
Discord.

>>7948729
There was a video update today of the CD drive emulation working, which was previously an issue.

>>7947813
A NeoGeo + flashcart setup alone will already cost you as much as MiSTer you fucking idiot

>>7951678
The comeback to this is always "you can just buy one of those chink 150-in-one carts"

>>7951670
Is that so ? Glad to hear that, I think he said there was a security drm blocking the progress... something like that.
Still hoping the next update is a game booting and running full speed

>>7951670

Here’s the vid

its an emulation box. raspberry pi does the same thing

does anyone else here get sexually excited by their mister? i feel like without all the layers of lag and inaccuracy it's like.. idk, there's no distance between me and the roms anymore. it's a really intimate experience, you can't really understand it until you try it.

>>7952206
>its an emulation box. raspberry pi does the same thing

Yup. Just like at the end of the day a Ford pinto and a Tesla model S are just boxes with wheels that will get you from point A to point B. They do the same thing.

>>7952656
Hey wise ass, the raspberry pi plays all the titles mister can. "buh latency", runahead solves that.

>>7952690
Exactly. A Ford pinto will get you to all the places a model S can. "buh safety", driving 20 mph below the speed limit solves that.

>>7952726
zoomers arent gonna get a ford pinto joke

>>7948729
Wait…so there are people that charge money for them “working” on mister cores??

>>7953435
It's called support and the same thing is done on software emulation on PC and everywhere else

NeoGeo:
- Support for spinner (also mouse as spinner) for Hypernoid and Pop'n Bounce.
- Support for mouse as trackball for Irritating Maze
- Fix color expansion (Kitrinx)
- Updated framework.

>>7952206
How much in bong bucks would I have to spend to get a raspi with bluetooth and SCART out to play NEOGEO, Dreamcast and Xbox?

>>7956097
>Xbox
What?

>>7956136
What what? I want to play JSRF.

>>7956146
Then buy a PC, Pi’s are trash.

>>7956167
I have one, but converters are trash.

>>7956146
>I want to play JSRF
Then buy an actual XBox or wait a couple of years
>>7956167
>PC
XBox is not exactly good in emulation yet no matter what you use

>>7956179
>Then buy an actual XBox
>buy a console for 1 (one) game

>>7956183
Well it’s that or get a 360 to play it, although it has some issues

>>7956189
I have a 360 that I got for free, but it can't be modded because the fag updated it. Fuck it if I'm paying for games.

>>7956196
>Fuck it if I'm paying for games
Game, it’s literally just one game dude
You obviously don’t want to play it that much

>>7956210
>it’s literally just one game
Yeah, but I can buy food with that money. I'll just play JSRFMP, I guess.

>>7956215
Don’t you have any local second hand places you can look

Can this thing play Sonic games.

>>7956252
Yeah. £40. £17.50 on ebay for the version with the car game and the case.
It's just that I gave up on buying games. If I can pirate, I won't buy it.

>>7956267
That’s fine, just don’t go expecting to play it for a while

pitty bump

>mfw JVC X'Eye bios causes audio issues playing the 'What is X'Eye Multi Entertainment System' disc on MegaCD core

Threadly reminder: Rotate your cores regularly or, really if you're not poor you should just have one mister per system you intend to play. You don't want to fuck around with gate burn-in, it can get ugly.

>>7957180
>not shaking your MiSTer regularly to lube up the FPGA gate grease
NGMI

I know Jotego "released" his CPS2 core, but some games were apparently still in beta and thus not available via the updater.
I don't have an interest in what's missing, I just don't want to fuck up my archive. Should I use update, update_all, or just wait?

>>7957980
update_all should have an option to enable downloading his beta cores iirc

>>7958009
So the games that wont work and might bugger my archive aren't installed by default, only if you select the option?
Cool. Thanks for clarifying.

>>7958020
Just to clarify, CPS2 is still considered beta by Jotego, but at the same it's already close to perfect and at this point you are already having the best experience outside of og hardware.

This guy made a comparison with his CPS2 original boards, speed wise and accuracy is top notch

This enclosure looks so good, the price though...
https://rnsksoftronics.com/rsk202/sigseries202-1.html

Anyway good to see more and more products related to MISTer are coming, two years ago it was even hard to find a basic plastic case.

>>7959058
Looks nice.
Might not have enough USB ports though.

A game is finally booting albeit with heavy graphics artifacts. Saturn has almost caught up with where the PS1 left off basically

>>7959415
Gotta keep those clueless patreon subscribers hungry to ensure they keep throwing money at you for “development”. Lot

>>7959512
Literally a few bucks a month for most people to pay a guy with a proven track record. Heck, if you're using the SNES FPGA core or PCE CD or Sega CD then it's basically a donation in thanks for the work he's already done.

>>7959512
This man's Patreon donation flow sustains the economy of Ukraine. He is a national hero!

>>7959415
PS1 core was really not far from being at least ready for a beta, it was running many games at full speed.

>>7959512
thanks for the token 4chan contrarian pessimist post.

>>7959882
PSX core was running on a different FPGA board. It would have to be ported to DE-10 Nano after completion. Saturn core is developed on DE-10 Nano from the very start.

>>7959415
>we're gonna get Saturn before PS1
This is retarded but I'm okay with it.

Reminder: Get your MiSTer fully kitted out before 5th gen cores drop, because supply will never keep up with demand after that.

>>7961150
Go back to your discord, tranny.

>>7959952
>thank you for some healthy skepticism

You’re welcome, have fun playing snes games or whatever

>>7956261
Yes, but unfortunately it does not play Sonic N.

>>7961691
Wasn't that just a port of one of the Advance games?

>>7961730
Yes, it's a port of Sonic Advance 1. But wouldn't it be fun and cool to replay a classic Sonic game you already know in tate mode?

>>7961738
You joke but after seeing that tate Doom mod I've been curious to see other older games modded ith tate mode for the fuck of it

Sega CD core now has CD+G support for your karaoke needs.

>>7961738
>tate sonic
Man I can't even play Sonic in widescreen, I don't know how the fuck you'd do it with a 3:4 aspect ratio.

>>7963624
Fucking finally

>>7942929
>- Add support for DualSense (PS5) controller.
Would this be a good investment, given PlayStation support is coming at some point?
I hear the sticks wear out quick though.

We might be getting 3DO outta nowhere

Is there a way I can setup MiSTer to automatically a boot a game when I turn it on? Maybe via a script or something? I only play one game at a time and I'd like to always set it up on a script.

>>7967404
Add "bootcore=(Your favorite core)" to mister.ini to automatically start your favorite core on power on.
Some cores (mostly consoles) will load file named "boot.rom" on start (if that name is used by a bios file - check core's readme for alternative name). I heard that this will not let you save though.

>>7966525
My DualSense is still like new and I've used it a lot since the PS5 came out last year.

>>7967486
Thanks. It does work, and it's a bummer that it won't save though. But just the option to boot straight into my last core played is great. I can power up and play in like 3 seconds

>>7967558
iirc it was added specifically for arcade cores running on a MiSTercade where saving is most likely non existant

>>7967571
Is there a way to disable to OSD popup when you first launch a core? For example I have the GBA core booting into its BIOS, but the menu always pops up on top by default. I'd like to make it popup after pressing a button instead. Not sure if it's even possible.

>>7967885
That's weird, on my setup cores with bios roms like GBA don't display menus on launch.

>>7947467
>It's limited to 1080p even if you output at 4K because 4K resolution requires an ID@Xbox account and RetroArch won't ever get approved on ID@Xbox because MS don't allow emulators on their store.
Wait, for real? I've seen so many people hype up the Series S & X as the ultimate emulation box but this was never brought up. I was a bit worried since there wasn't any significant updates on RA Xbox, nothing about devs directly targeting the more powerful hardware and I'm just now hearing about the no 4K shit.
That's really disappointing to hear, are there any limitations that require ID@Xbox account to bypass?

Is SNAC worth it ? If you just use a USB controller with fast response like the HORI fighting commander with fast usb poll activated, isn't it the same thing ?

>>7969540
It's nice for an authentic feeling, and for SNAC-supporting cores the MiSTer would pass a blind test if you didn't know what you were playing on, but not being able to use SNAC-connected gamepads to control the menu core (or for console cores besides the matching system) is pretty annoying.

I'm no speedrunner so I'm content to use my Wii U Pro controller for most systems because it's wireless, convenient and connects up instantly. Allegedly this is a relatively laggy solution (using it via an 8bitdo bluetooth adapter which has ~35ms of lag apparently), but playing on a CRT I certainly can't feel any input delay. Your mileage may vary, but I like playing older games with the features MiSTer brings to the table- and wireless controllers is a big one.

>>7969593
Ar that point might as well just use a crtPi. Pretty sure the latency would be lower.

>>7969593
Thanks for the reply, I will stick with USB controller then, I'm using the Hori fighting commander for most of the cores and raphnet adaptater for SNES and NES core, I was curious if SNAC was going to be a game changer but in my case doesn't look like it will be worth.

>>7970685
SNAC is really only useful when you need it for stuff like lightguns, the USB polling is good enough for normal controllers.
Personally SNAC feels underutilized. The ideas floating around of making more link cable adapters seems more interesting to me, and who knows maybe when that PS1 core finally comes out in 30 years we could get a memory card SNAC adapter to let us swap memory card files from console to MiSTer and vice versa.

>>7969540
SNAC is worth it if you're a stickler for original controllers or light guns. If you don't care about either of these things, it's just a lot of money for something you'll use once or twice, you're not going to be telling the difference between a couple of ms of theoretical input lag.

>>7966525
If you play games with dpads often, avoid PlayStation controllers

>>7971205
Whatever mechanism they used in the PS Vita they should have included in the PS5 controller.
That thing is the most ergonomic and comfortable D-pad I've ever used.

>>7972408
Yeah I don't know what crack that guy is smoking, Playstation had the absolute best dpads end of discussion.

>tfw mister parts arriving soonTM

Are there any ways of using a GBA as a controller besides going the GBA>GC cable into GC USB adapter route?

>>7973231
>besides going the GBA>GC cable into GC USB adapter route
I'm not even sure if that works. Can you do that on PC?

>>7973231
or get a proper gamepad.

>>7945835
Usually video problems on the Menu is a memory problem. Reseat your memory / remove your memory. See what happens.

>>7947659
Nope, and it probably never will. Which is a good thing.

>>7953435
Wait... so there are youtubers that charge money for them "making" content?

>>7956267
So why not just mod an xbox? A child could accomplish that.

>>7963624
The MiSTer is now also a Karaoke Machine.

>>7969540
SNAC for LightGuns. I can't think of another reason to invest in it.

>>7973382
Yeah, it works. I have a Gbros adapter and I can use my GBA plugged on it on the MiSTer.

>>7973415
I have a bunch, but nothing works quite as good for GBA games.

>>7973527
Forgot to mention but you also need a flashcart to use the GBA to GC controller ROM from GB Interface. It turns your GBA into a limited Gamecube controller.

>>7973534
Might need to ask Extrems (the GB Interface guy) then. I really only see an adapter daisy chain working but maybe he knows a better way.

>>7953435
not everybody has the high morals and altruistic motives of a 4channel-janny

>>7973440
Thanks.
I'm just an idiot though, as it turns out the component setting in the mister setup file got switched to a 1. No idea how that happened, but whatever it was easily fixed.

I'm not buying a SHiTTer no matter how many shill threads you make.

I really don't think I care that much, I'm just happy that I'll have Saturn emulation that isn't annoying like on PC.
