MiSTer FPGA Forum

I did the same thing as you (upgraded from 2.5 to 3.0 for improved Saturn) and didn't even bother going to dual ram as nothing requires it. The 2.5 is in a drawer.

Who cares if MiSTer goes "mainstream"??

It's for hardcore vintage gamers, built by hobbyists and supported by open source programmers/developers in their free time. Nothing about it is targeted to the "average Joe".

Don't get so worked up

Nah I'm just saying if your friends don't want to own a MiSTer just because it doesn't have "fun menus" maybe it's not a product for them? They would likely be happier with a cheaper emulator with fancy menus as they obviously don't care about what's it's doing at the hardware level.

"How long can you put off a low importance issue, before it becomes a more severe issue?"

Important to who? You and your friends??

Just get one of those Chinese emulation boxes off AliExpress if you need animated menus and flashing graphics

Most people who own a MiSTer either...

A)Use original console controllers
B)Use numerous controllers that replicate the look/feel of specific consoles

There are already a lot of controllers available that work well for multiple types of games, so thinking that there is a market for just ONE controller for ALL games is a bit unrealistic.

Get an N64 controller then you don't have to worry

The core should be public now, but after update_all it is still “yellow” and unplayable.
How do I fix it?

Are you a Patreon member? I am, and I think in the past when these betas have gone public I've had to sometimes delete the old rbf/mra for the core and then run update_all to start fresh

Aren't these 8bitdo Xbox specific controllers locked to only working with Microsoft devices?

You do get it through update all.

You get the standard PSX core, not the "Turbo" one for patron members

Awesome! Will try this out over the holidays

Post this in the arcade section.

And yes, I just happened to play this last night (after the Irem rbf updated) and noticed the same issue.

You are gonna pay over $800CDN to order a pre- built?? You can buy the parts separately and put one together for around $600 yourself

That price is close to the full Mister setup I got from Antonio 3 years and a half ago... SOOOO crazy the price skyrocked so much.

Even crazier are the people who think the price will go back down

Mine started doing it too about four weeks ago

It's probably quite simple when you know how.

It is. I just Googled "transfering ROMs to MiSTer" and this was the first result https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_M ... tup/games/

Go on YouTube and look for "MiSTer FPGA setup" videos, there are dozens, and they will show you what to do step by step. Far easier to do it that way than posting individual questions.

can anybody confirm if these are actually quality

Since they are made/shipped from China, I'd expect there to be a good chance they are crap and won't work properly

Really interesting stuff!!!!
