Re: Other Compatible Boards [SoCKit Development Kit]

There is ram independently connected to both the HPS and FPGA (rather than just the HPS on the Nano) so maybe it wouldn't require an additional module, although we would still need an add on board for HDMI, usb hub, etc.

It's also 3 times the price.

Re: SDRAM Update Discussion

The discussion around "bad ram" is a little misleading. The ram chips are (for the most part) absolutely fine, it's everything between them and the FPGA chip that's a problem and only a small part of that right at the end of the line is in our hands. MiSTer's ram is round the bend in an echoey twisty corridor, and rather than fix the corr...

As a word of caution with PS3 controllers, there was a significant number of revisions over the life of the PS3 and a great deal of variability.

Re: Why use rar for compression when there are seemingly better alternatives?

RAR is likely more familiar and easier to deal with than XZ. RAR is a fairly obscure format in 2020 ... It was popular back when every byte mattered and archives needed to be split because modems. If it's just the SD loader, for Windows users, why not just use ZIP which has native OS/explorer support, high familiarity & doesn't require the end...

Re: Breakthrough for the ao486 core announced - Cache

ao486_Cache25_061fc53 has a memory selector bug.

In MiSTer menus it presents 16MB or 256MB, 16MB results in 64Mb in Win98, 256 results in a screen full of garbage just after boot.

Re: Sponsoring RTG support

I see no reason why unused space on the FPGA can't or shouldn't be used to optionally extend machines, even if that goes into realms of fantasy hardware. For the Amiga on FPGA specifically, there is also a feel that emulation just doesn't replicate.

Certainly wouldn't kick an optional high res desktop or accelerated CPU out of bed.
