Finally Jumping into MiSTer is there a ‘Best’ 128MB Memory Module?

Unread post by pubjoe »

Hi,

I’ll be setting up Mister for arcade cab use. I’m extremely happy with Groovymame but why not run both? The Mister project has so much steam in it right now that it’s a great time to get involved.

This might be a question with no answer but I’ve read of occasional bugs with with a few specific games when a 128MB module is installed. Is there a good or bad module or is it just a case of pot luck?

And either way, is there a recommended module or supplier for any other reason? (I’m in the U.K.)

I’m currently looking at ordering from ebay. One of these:

Personally, I'd avoid eBay. I've gotten them from MiSTerAddons.com and from MiSTerFPGA.co.uk before and they've both worked just fine and passed the intensive Jotego memory tests.

Thanks for all the advice. I went with Nat. All good and the module survived Jotego's 96mhz memtest for the 30 minutes before I turned it off.
