Retrobit controller is officially licensed by Sega.
identical quality and feel of the original + home button for Mister.
the best pad for Sega Genesis,32X and Sega CD cores.

I have 8Bitdo M30,RetroBit Saturn and RetroBit Genesis pads,the Retro-Bit pads are a little better imo.
they look and feel identical to Sega Pads and the D-Pad feels slightly better.
8BitDo M30 is great too but I rate Retro-Bit slightly higher.

You dont get extra USB ports with an IO Board. You get the Snac/ User IO port which looks like a USB port but ISNT a Usb port and should never have usb devices plugged into it

That's right.I mixed it up with USB Hub for some reason..

I connected a DVD player with component video cables and I get a picture but it is squashed and duplicated across the left and right halves of the screen with a vertical black bar down the center. I'm surprised component from DVD isn't perfect out of the box because one of the inputs was set up for component (along with RGB and composite on other ...

I can't think of another way to test the monitor. Is there a cable online (Amazon?) that's known to work? I'm not sure what you mean about not using HDMI to VGA. The only video out on my MiSTer is HDMI. I assumed you have the analogue IO board on your Mister. That's the ideal way to get VGA signal not converting HDMI to VGA imo. IMG-4934.jpg since...

16Bittt

Does your monitor otherwise work?
Can you test it with a different cable? some of these VGA cables can have issues..
all you need for connecting the Mister VGA to PVM/BVM is a VGA to BNC cable.I don't think HDMI to VGA is the solution.

My MiSTer works great connected to a digital display and I'm trying to get it working on a refurbished BVM which is my only CRT. I'm using these cables to go from HDMI to RGB: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075GZ8DX7 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000067SM6 I've changed to these in MiSTer.ini: direct_video=1 composite_sync=1 The CRT only displays a horizo...

This game still doesn’t work on SNES Core in August 2023.

It’s a shame because it’s graphically one the best looking SNES games.

16Bittt

Dreamcast is well beyond DE10 Nano capabilities..it's a 128 BIT system more close to the 128BIT PS2 specs than 32 BIT PS1/Saturn.
I'm not even 100% sure we'll get a fully functional N64 core.
But I hope I'm wrong.

16Bittt

what are the chances that this core never completes?
Saturn was always a complex system,for game developers and emulator programmers.an FPGA implementation doesn't sound like one man job even in normal conditions.
why other developers don't assist him?

its got a listing page on amazon uk now - out of stock - yesterday it was up but didnt say anything so i assume its coming into stock soon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C9BZR395/ nice,I ordered from aliexpress (£33.29) and took 20 days to arrive. I may pick another one up (as spare) if amazon UK starts selling them. it's a niche product,who knows ...

16Bittt

I am seeing the same result I've seen with every 8bitdo product: paid reviewers/influencers and people who've never held the original controller it's based on think it's great. Maybe I didn't express correctly, this 8bitdo has too much travel before the clicks similar to the mini garbage https://www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/15t60cs/i_was_...

It has the same lame deadzone as the mini pad right ? It's not stiff and immediately clicky like the first model I heard ?

Feels like an analogue engaging a microswitch from what I could see

No.
It’s nothing like that awful mini pad.

16Bittt

mine arrived. it's excellent.10/10 I never owned or used the original NEOGEO CD Pad,the clicky thumbstick is definitely unique. it's like a mini arcade stick under the thumb stick. feels great and very precise. I play fighting games casually ,going through the NEOGEO library on Mister,I can do much better with this pad.can perform moves and combos ...

16Bittt

mine hasn't arrived yet,but I saw a short video from a guy who received his controller and was not happy with the accuracy of the joystick. there was also a comment under his video from another user who was also unhappy with inaccuracy of the joystick. will be very disappointing if it's true. :cry: have you tested the pad with NEOGEO fighting game...

A shop here was unexpectedly selling them already and even though I already had one on its way from China, which was taking a lot of time to arrive, I couldn't resist. It arrived today. 8BitDo Neo Geo.png Here are my first impressions (can't compare to the original controller as I don't have one): The clicky thumb-stick is great, it has a good ind...

I am looking into buying a joystick. I want it mostly for Amiga but want something that can be used with most cores. I only really want one to cover them all as I don't want multiple controllers. Thing is most Amiga joysticks have just 2 buttons which, looking at most arcade sticks, I assume is not enough for arcade cores. How many buttons should ...

16Bittt

I've used Mister on various LCDs,OLED but now only use on CRT. the advantage of CRT is that it looks better. it just looks more natural,the way these old games supposed to look,whereas LCD/OLED makes them look unnatural and remind you that you're playing something old and dated. to me CRT vs LCD for retro games is as important as FPGA vs emulator. ...

16Bittt

I haven't used that one,but I have around 5 controllers connected to Mister.generally, the 2.4Ghz is the way to go,no lag and no random disconnection +instant,relieable connection everytime (unlike bluetooth). I've also tried Xbox Series controller (the one for PC that comes with a dedicated USB dongle) and that one was also perfect. these are the ...

16Bittt

I have similar on my CRT. I had to force the signal to be NTSC (even though I have a PAL TV) in order to get a stable picture. I'm not near my Mister at the moment, but I'll try and find out the key strokes to enable that next time I am (there's an H/V offset that had a similar effect for me). not sure what the issue is,runs perfectly on my Sony C...

16Bittt

Awesome! really looking forward to these.specially Crude Buster..the Sega Genesis port is one of my favourites on that system.

16Bittt

Yes makes sense,without haptics the battery life should be much better,I only used Dual Sense with PS5.but it's D-Pad is still the biggest disadvantage for retro games.it's bad.the Xbox Series controller D-Pad on the other hand is very good for 2D games.the best D-Pad of a modern controller. Isn't it funny how no matter how many generations of gam...

16Bittt

I think a Dual Shock 4 (V2) will be a much better option for Mister,the Dual Sense D-Pad is really bad for 2D games,and personally I felt DS4 was more comfortable and more ergonomic in my hands vs the Dual Sense. also Dual Sense has very poor battery life (at least on PS5) and you won't be able to use it's haptic features on Mister anyway. I can c...

16Bittt

there's no way around it,you'd need multiple comntrollers for the best experience. the button layout is very important. I use Retro-Bit 2.4Ghz official Sega Saturn / Sega Genesis pad / 8Bitdo M30 2.4Ghz for Sega Cores (works very well for arcade/Atari cores too) and either Sony Dual Shock 4 / 8Bitdo SN30 Pro / Xbox Series pad (with PC dongle) for N...

I had lots of connection issues with both Nintendo Switch Online SNES and Sega Genesis controllers,so I got rid of them. for the N64,Retro-Bit made a 2.4Ghz N64 pad based on the sought-after and well-regarded Hori N64 pad.(many liked it much better than the original N64 back in the day).I'd go for that instead.mainly because of 2.4Ghz reliable conn...
