Is it too early to tell if this will be powered by the DE-10? The Retro Castle IO boards use USB-C on the board and I prefer the barrel jack.

I don't have a solution, but I am here to report that I cannot seem to get the Retro Fighters Hunter (OG Xbox) controller working on MiSTer. I've tried plugging it in via USB-C as well as the included dongle which reports PC and Switch compatibility (Xinput and Dinput).

Has anyone gotten the Hunter working over 2.4GHz?

At low voltages, it's the amperage that matters, so MostroW is pointed right at the problem. The switch you have is rated for 1 amp at 30 volts, so it will also be 1 amp at 5 volts. You want at least a 4A switch; you'd probably want one specced larger, for safety, maybe 6A if the difference isn't too costly. This is likely one of the problems with...

These switches are rated for 30v 1A, going with the idea that you're using a 5v adapter, i'd recommend looking for a 5v 3 4A continuous power rated DC power switch(es)? Thank you for the quick response! Any recommendation on where to look for such a switch? When I search '5v 4a latching switch' I get no results near what I am looking for. Looking ...

I am nearing completion on a custom case design for my MiSter. One thing I am looking for advice on is the power switch. I would really like a latching on/off switch mounted to the front of this case. I have a custom shape designed for the exterior pushbutton so I am looking at mounting this switch behind the front panel of the case. I have a bunch...

When I was figuring out how to get an MT32-Pi up and running, I saw a lot of complaints about problems with longer cables. I think maybe they loosened the signal timings just a bit, but AFAIK you still want a short cable if possible. That was sort of the go-to diagnostic for MT32-Pi problems, the first thing people asked, almost.... "how long...

You probably don't really need the screen. It doesn't detract, but it's also not that important. I have one, but almost never look at it. Even if it was convenient and easy to see, I don't think I would care. The MT32-Pi is fully controllable from the onscreen menu system, so you don't actually need the buttons for anything when you're using it wi...

Deatils of the mt32-pi for MiSTer are on the wiki here: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi/wiki/MiSTer-FPGA For a list of current mt32-pi sellers for MiSTer, they are on the mt32-pi wiki here: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi/wiki/MiSTer-FPGA#custom-hardware Thank you, I totally looked over the seller links! You don't need the screen or button...

I am currently designing a custom case for MiSTer. One of the main sticking points for me is whether or not to integrate the MT32-Pi. After some digging, I was quickly confused, so thought I'd ask here. I have three main questions about the MT-32 Pi: 1) How necessary are a screen and physical buttons? Do these allow extra features or make using muc...
