I've had one for years, I got it as a development board and only just got a 128meg SRAM board. I'm very meh on it right now, it needs a proper setup that I really don't give a shit to do right now. It fucking hates every USB hub I've ever used with it and every knockoff 360 controller I've tried on it, it seems to like my DualShock 3 controllers but those are on their last legs.
Hard to say if I like or dislike the thing, I'll buy a bunch of port replicators and a decent USB hub and then cram it inside of a tiny ITX case eventually but I'm not doing that anytime soon.

its nothing like a rp3(4)
some of the cores are normie emulation
but a few of them are fpga-based implementation (mega everdrive pro, terraonion pc engine, etc)

it simulates the hardware 1:1
misterfags are a bit misleading though
there are many cores that have issues/need updates
there are many cores that are not fpga-based

do not overspend for a de-10, i got one to avoid connecting my expensive desktop to a crt

Do you play to play on modern displays or on CRT? Analog IO board is used to get VGA video, while Digital IO just adds secondary functions of the IO board without a video out.

The analog IO board does but apparently it has a shit DAC and the sound pops whenever you load something so it's not really suitable for headphones or good speakers. Both IO boards have better Toslink digital audio and the de-10 itself outputs audio through the HDMI

It's emulation, but it's not software emulation. You can run processes in real time using FPGA instead of having to simulate every call one at a time with software emulation. This has a lot of advantages such as

>no additional input delay
>no additional audio delay
>compatibility with real hardware peripherals (for example the analogue pocket, an fpga gameboy solution, can seamlessly use things like the gameboy camera, can link with original gameboys using gameboy link cables, can connect to a gamecube etc, all works just like real hardware where as with say one of those chinese software emulation handhelds you can't really do any of that. With the mister you can use lightguns for example)

And on top of that, the mister itself is very easy to connect to a CRT which is super nice if you're going that route as PC setups with CRT TV's can be a huge headache. Frankly for me, for the cores mister supports it largely replaced real hardware on my CRT setup because I can't tell the difference and it's a lot cheaper than RGB modding a shitton of different devices. Where as with software emulation, which you can super close, there's still noticeable audio delay on everything that I try and even with runahead I find I can't quite get the input delay down to native hardware+ CRT like I can with the mister

Basically, it feels like real hardware despite being emulation. That's the benefit of most fpga implementations. /vr/ seems to shit itself whenever it's mentioned, but if you're planning to use a CRT I'd say it's easily the best option out there. It has more flaws when you start using it on modern displays, though it's still not a bad choice

The only reason magic game machine exists is because Intel and Terasic are aggressively pushing their DE10-Nano board to universities to promote FPGA development. As such it is sold at $200 loss and they even provide further discounts to students. Emulator devs took notice of this very cheap FPGA board and built a magic game machine around that. Terasic is aware that their educational product is used for gaming by some dorks but they don't care, as long as it promotes FPGA development to new people.

I have an NT mini noir and it having cores is nice. I want to get a mister sometime but this is fine enough for now. Gameboy/Color on the crt is comfy. Wish it had GBA but I have a gamecube and flashcart so just need to set that up. FPGAs are so cool. Is there any console you want homebrew for that does not have much? I might try to make something. Or for a console that has a bunch is fine too since it would probably be easier to make too.

I think Im just gonna settle for this.

I was gonna go for old console and was willing to learn soldering for installing the relevant RGB mods/mod chips etc but apparently soldering is dangerous. All the talk of lead poisoning/fumes poisoning makes me anxious.

Seems like mister is the closest we'll get to original hardware. Can you connect OEM controllers too without added lag?

I have a really dumb newbie question.
So the MiSTer is based on the DE-10 nano, which is a Cyclone V, yeah?
If intel were to release a new prototyping board with a more powerful FPGA, would the work of the MiSTer project just carry over? How much effort would it take to bring the cores over to a more powerful board?

Does anyone else get a bit of slowdown with Sega CD and Sonic CD? is that accurate for the hardware? I am also using cifs mount to stream the rom from my NAS but I don't notice any other core having an issue. I think it might just be how sonic cd played regularly.

>>8816141
buy a case man. I fried a unit accidentally with one tiny static electric shock from a finger to the unit. Better to be safe.

The sound on MiSTer just really hits nicely.. I am not like the purists I guess bc im running mine through HDMI and into a receiver, but the sound of every core sounds so fucking good coming through.

Only shitty thing about the hardware is that unfortunate ethernet port placement. The little unit is neat. I really hope that Saturn core makes it to a public release fingers crossed

I've been using a cheap wired dongle because I didn't need to spend an extra 85 bucks on the board. Mirco-USB is objectively one of the worst connectors ever designed. It's not durable at all, especially if you're plugging in wired cords that are going to have even a normal amount of flex/wiggle to them. It's not like you overly rough with the port in a way that would justifiably break it, it's just a shit fucking port that everyone is glad to have moved past.

Of course, if you shell out the extra shekals for the usb board with the bracket plug that stays fixed and rigid, you won't have any problems. But it's more about the design of Micro-USB itself that's the problem. So to anyone using corded dongles or wires, just keep that in mind.

There was a panic a few months ago that PS1 core might require two SDRAM boards. This turned out to be false, but many people already bought an extra 32MB board just to be sure. So far only the beta Jaguar core requires dual SDRAM due to bandwidth issues with Jag's silly memory bus.
Using two ram boards makes the Analog IO board unusable, so you have to use direct video for analog support.

I have an Old Rasp-Pi B just collecting dust. I can't decide what to do with it - either run it as a micro-media centre or an emulation station. The problem with the former is I have a perfectly good 1st Gen AMD4 1800x that's getting replaced when AMD5 comes around so that deals with that. For the latter - I own a large collection of retro consoles in their original format, so barring obscure titles I just use those for a full authentic experience.

None of the cores are hardware simulators. You do not want to waste your time trying to simulate hardware, these are ALL emulators written the exact same way you would write any other emulator. You start by describing variables that will work as registers for game data and instructions, you will describe the sequence to load data instructions into them and then what will happen next, rinse repeat until you've logically described an instruction level emulator. Then you add shit so that the image is scaled correctly, inputs can be remapped, shaders, widescreen hacks, and whatever you want to add.
Everything just happens simultaneously on an FPGA with no real resource contention, you usually have to use a shit load of incredibly accurate phase lock loops so that it doesn't process won't do anything unintended, your typical CPU / ASIC has to deal with a billion and one interrupts firing off so that your input, sound, game logic, media loading is being completed at the right time.
I used to do a lot of college shit and EE stuff using FPGA's, anyone who tells you its an accurate "simulator" of real hardware is blowing smoke up your ass. Its an accurate Verilog and VHDL processor with a big old black box of secret sauce between your code and the real hardware.

There is a significant difference to running emulation on a general purpose CPU. The VHDL describes the logic state which is at the lower level functionally equivalent to what would be implemented in any logic circuit like a VLSI.

It costs money at all is the problem. It's slightly better emulation that you have to pay for. Emulation is well enough. Paying all that money for a SLIGHTLY better than FREE experience seems a little bit retarded to me. Why not pay for the actual 1:1 experience. It's more an argument of value, than it is of being too expensive. I don't see the value.

Not I didn't say better or even equal to thr actual hardware. Nothing else besides real hardware is 100% accurate. That being said, FPGA operates like real hardware would, with logic gates running processes in parallel. This fact alone already makes it better than softwate emulation in all aspects besides price.

Exactly the point. Aside from price. It's a lot of money to pay for a small return in the difference vs. emulation. Honestly, how what are the differences in playing SMW on my PC vs. mister? Is 500 dollars worth, 400, 300? Value is a subjective thing, sure; but to pay that for such fractional increases in performance is wild. Just play on original hardware at that point.

I'll try to explain the value MiSTer provides, if you will allow me. I believe most people who own one will agree.

It's about getting out of a rabbit hole one finds itself in with emulation. You see, once upon a time I was a completely ignorant person who enjoyed playing games in ZSNES on a keyboard and stretching everything to 16:9 with filters. But then someday your standards start to increase. You start learning about input lag, audio lag, aspect ratios, cycle accuracy, and nothing ever feels as "it should". The more you learn about the technical aspects of emulating old games, the more emulation doesn't seem to cut it, even though you became obsessed with tinkering to the point where you spend more time checking settings than actually playing games. Software emulation just can't reach the ideals you've set in your mind.

So you turn to real hardware. Maybe you tried turning on your old console from your childhood. Maybe you went and bought a console you never had just to try it out, and it feels magical. Shit just works, games just play and there's no settings to mess about with. Then you decide: real hardware really is the way to go. But there's a problem, mostly being how costly it is to have a full setup with all the consoles you could possibly want + flashcarts for all the systems. And then there's all sorts of mods and expensive upscalers you'd have to get to be able to enjoy pristine video quality you've used to get on emulators. It becomes exhausting.

So here comes the MiSTer. It's the perfect middle ground for the schizo retro gamer like me. It's a device that just plays games. They play with zero lag, zero audio delay and with cycle accuracy. There are no settings to mess about except scaling, inputs etc. The upfront cost may seem expensive, but it's MUCH cheaper than buying all of the shit you'd have to buy otherwise if you didn't have it. I can turn it on and be playing a game in 5 seconds. It. just. works.

Original hardware isn't consistant or immortal either. I have quite a collection and sometimes things just fail. Silicon can just die after decades of power cycles and tiny static discharges. FPGA can replace components like the infamous ZX Spectrum ULA https://opencores.org/projects/zx_ula

In time these replacements will become more prevalent and this for me is the primary goal of these projects. As for authenticity, retro systems are typically modded for display clarity and have an SD reader. When the FPGA alternatives are functionally identical and far more convenient it makes sense to prune that collection out to the suckers.

And yes the FPGA systems are typically much closer to the source hardware than emulation can be simply because they are deterministic, which is not possible on a general purpose system. Sure some implementations are WIP but some are verifiably accurate and in time, the rest will be too.

Emulation is fine for casual gamers etc but if you want the real feel with convenience you can't go past FPGA.

Sadly, no. x86's ability to do hard realtime is HUGELY lacking. There are hard realtime kernels for generic PCs but they are considerably slower than the regular kernels we use because they have to single thread and spin lock constantly to guarantee timing. What you say is perfectly possible for a generic computer, just sadly not the 2022 "PC" specification. Hell, if Amiga hadn't died you'd probably HAVE all the genlocks, DMA and synchronisation hardware you need to have a "perfect" emulator today, but sadly the IBM compatible standard won and they never thought that was necessary.

Word of warning, on top of the crooked display it came lacking the internal speaker(s?), a power supply and a HDMI cable. Display was otherwise flawless and the package was well protected, but it's still a lottery at the end of the day.

The other guy who also sells those monitors and has a gazillion sales on Ali ships it with a slow mini HDMI cable that can't handle 2K though. IIRC the 2x HDMI model takes less energy, but trying to power it from the Mister's USB is a bad idea anyway.

The retrorgb dude did a lagtest on the retina display + chink driver board and they run at ~3ms latency.
There's a reason MiSTer devs (as well as the retrotink guy) have created presets for its weird 2K display: aside from low lag and being fairly fucking cheap, they offer very high pixel density for nice scanline reproduction, they're teensy and easy to build into small setups especially if you want to make some kind of novelty arcade cabinet, and the 4:3 orientation makes for no black bars or scaling issues once you dial in the settings properly.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 26 22:12:30 2022 No.8852850 >>8852842 I just checked that. It's 2ms latency and it handles all refresh rates from 50-63Hz. This is literally too good for the price, I'm gonna buy a few.

Just to highlight something, cant actually confirm it all but be aware: as >>8852910 & >>8852980 have pointed out, Laser Bear have put together a modified firmware that improves the compatibility +/- performance but I think it only works on the newest revision of the driver board intended for installation in their CRT/VESA monitor casings. If the board or pre-assembled monitor you're looking at on aliexpress has VGA or 2x mini-HDMI ports it's an older model and probably won't support the better firmware.

I've been looking but I can't find a preassembled monitor, kit, or even a casing with ports cut to match the newer board so unless youre in a position to buy a laserbear case it may be prohibitive/problematic if you want to ensure the best performance.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, because I really don't want to have to pay 50 USD for fucking DHL to ship bits of plastic to be from the US because of something this dumb.

Yeah but are those people with proper configurations?
eg. Do they have a framebuffer active, are they using a console's proper resolution and have they tried systems with wonky refresh rates? And is the lag any different? Because the lag test numbers come from users with the newer board.

Do you want to wait for this thing to arrive and find it's way more limited than advertised, then have to spend a month and another thirty bucks on the right driver board- and then have to jury rig a new case for the damn thing? Those are my concerns, aside from losing the chinese sweatshop lottery and getting some half-baked piece of shit of you have to spend time fixing up like >>8852205

A lot of OSD settings don't work, including the aspect ratio changes, but for the Mister it's fine as you just output 16:9. And I'm almost sure the first latency measurements were before this custom firmware even existed, don't recall the guy ever bringing up latency performance.

I'm on the same spot as you by the way, can't order from the guy without shipping tearing me a new one. Does he even sell the board separately or make the firmware available anywhere?

Absolutely.

How do you think the chinks get the prices down so much? You are skimping on lower quality parts. Cheaply sourced capacitors whose shelf life is dubious, cheaply sourced connectors which are important to be robust enough if you're going to be plugging shit in and out of constantly. Etc. etc.

If they have no fucking shame in copying an opensource design, but then copypasted copyrighted manuals and branding, what makes you think they give a shit about making a device that is actually electrically sound? I'm not implying it's going to burn down your house or anything, but both the practices of the company and the product itself are shit for valid reasons. Ultimately I don't give a shit because I know people have no other choice when it comes to sourcing parts in different countries. But I least try to make people aware the Buttfunx shouldn't get your money if you can help it.

Actually yeah, good idea. Thanks.
I was going to secure them to the monitor casing, but after considering the complications associated with speakers when swapping to and from tate mode (or if I decide not to use them at some point, eg. if they sound like shit)- it's probably better they're not fixed to the thing. So until such time I can be assed designing my own custom stand I'll probably chuck them in boxes to sit alongside the monitor.

To wit, I'm gonna drill a hole in the backside of the 3D printed casing and mount either a 1/4" stereo connector or paired RCA sockets in there, hook those up internally to the speaker output, and then I have a clean-looking and robust solution no matter what happens.
