Throughput-wise, it'd probably be fine, but I'd worry about access time issues as the result of wireless interference. So, it might work, or it might be inconsistent.

I needed a wifi dongle for updates anyway so I grabbed one, I'll fiddle around with network sharing if I have time. If not I'm thinking I should just get a powered 3.5" drive enclosure and throw a 6TB WD Blue in there for 100$ and forget about it. Also finally got around to ordering vga-bnc cables and a dac so I can try this thing out on my PVM. If MiSTer gets PS1 and saturn support eventually I'll be so happy and it will become my main device.

Cartridge-based games are definitely not tolerant to latency (most of the time, but as proven by the Genesis and GBA cores it can work in some cases), but those load the ROM entirely to RAM on startup so the only difference would be a slower launch.

falz posted:Anyone here using mister in an arcade cabinet with a jamma adapter? There appears to be a few. Here's a pseudo beta review of MiSTercade which looks like a new one from misteraddons (or something). https://github.com/misteraddons/MiSTercade Supports 15khz and 31khz, so that's great. After i posted my question a bit ago, i realized that there maybe aren't even yet Sega System 16 cores quite yet so this would be premature for me personally, but this is good progress! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-212r6kKC8

Those instructions seem kinda incomplete. Or does doing that download all the roms and set itself up? Does that update more stuff than just going to scripts > update?

update_all includes the mame-getter scripts which yes, downloads all of the mame ROMs (it will take a long time the first time you run it!). When you run it, it has a config you can set up on which parts specifically you want to enable (if for example you just want to run one part of it) which I'd recommend taking a look at the first time you run it, but the nominal flow otherwise includes mame-getter.

I had the mister connected to a monitor w/ no sound initially. I connected it to my TV and can't get sound at all. I have the non-digital IO board so should be able to plug headphones in and nothing. Nothing over HDMI, either. I am at a complete loss as there doesn't seem to be any good info about this. There are a couple pages about no sound over HDMI, but none of that worked. Nothing about no sound at all. I suspect this is an easy fix but am lost.

Do you have any other devices that accept HDMI input with sound that you could test? Are you plugging into a receiver or directly into the TV? The MiSTer does have some handshaking issues at times which can make it misbehave on certain receivers and capture devices, but I'm not sure that would necessarily point to audio issues. I'd first want to confirm that you can get any kind of audio elsewhere (if you have a different HDMI cable that'd probably also be useful for testing).

After fiddling with it it seems that it's just arcade stuff that has no sound. The other stuff works. I do wish configuration was a bit less obtuse.

I think that happened to me to but I honestly can't remember how I fixed it. Probably something I hit accidentally in the ini. Wait it might have been the hdmi_audio_96k setting. I turned it on assuming it would be better and it worked fine on my PC monitor, then a few weeks later I moved the MiSTer to my TV and couldn't figure out why I didnt have sound because I couldn't remember even changing that setting. Check if that's causing an issue.

It's not the 96k thing. I checked that already. Haven't messed with the ini at all, actually. It's just totally stock/base configuration. E: well it's working now. Did an update_all and that seems to have fixed it. Not sure what was wrong at all. But hooray, now it works. Waltzing Along fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Feb 17, 2021 |

Can someone point me to a list of stuff on Amazon to buy? I want the 'better' options, when it comes to RAM or whatever. I am getting confused which extra cables to buy, etc Ideally I'd be hooking this up to a CRT (which has S-video, component, composite, a Trinitron). But HDMI at some point, I'm sure\ It's showing me a USB hub like this, but I kinda expected to find something I could screw together. Maybe put in a case someday..

He's currently in the middle of a move, but just get your stuff from misteraddons.com. it sounds like you need, at a minimum: The DE10 The usb board a IO board, either analog of digital, probably analog. the ram card a power cable a micro usb card

Normally I'd say "just get whatever is on misteraddons" but they are moving shop or something so it looks like that whole catalogue won't be available in the short term unless you search for Amazon listings from them specifically. But they otherwise have exactly what you'd need (i.e. recommended 128 MB RAM, a USB hub board you can attached directly to the DE10, etc.).

So are the cores for NES and SNES with 100% compatibility, or do some special chips cause some grief?

univbee posted:So are the cores for NES and SNES with 100% compatibility, or do some special chips cause some grief? SNES is missing the chips for Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shogi 1 & 2, and it doesn't do MSU-1. Someone has been working on MSU-1 on and off but I don't think they believe they can get both audio hacks and video hacks working, and since it's not an official chip it's not high priority. You can see the list of supported NES mappers here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NES_MiSTer I don't think there's anything major in retail games missing but you'll hit snags for sure if you tour bootlegs and chinese hacks

From what I know, which ain't enough: NES will probably never be 100% compatible with all mappers ever, because the way the system loads cores and games essentially means either you need to build a separate core for every mapper (and no one wants to pick which NES core to open before picking their game), or the core needs to have every chip available at once. Adding 200 one off bootleg mappers means the core code ends up a big mess, beyond the work to actually build them.

I know that Star Topics specifically is a game you need to seek out a version with a fixed mapper (2.0 header with mapper 1), but AFAIK near 100% of every other standard ROM dump for it will work just fine. E: Zoda's Revenge as well, duh. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Feb 18, 2021 |

The Voice of Labor posted:order one of these now and maybe it will have come in by the time you get the rest of your decisions squared away Curious, why the blisster board? Low latency? About 10 years ago, I had Paul from https://www.infiniteneslives.com/products.php make me a set of original NES, SNES, and 3 button Genesis controllers that connected via USB. I don't know what chips he used, but from what I can see, if you get a blisster board or use the SNAC adapters, you're basically doing the same thing that I already have, correct?

I ran the GoodNES ROMset through with mapper separating. A few steps later, I had a full list of ROMs that aren't compatible. It seems the only stuff that's of any significance is VS stuff like VS Super Mario Bros, although there might be some serviceable mapper conversions that work.

Silly Burrito posted:Curious, why the blisster board? Low latency? the reason for doing serial connectors is latency. there's one serial port on the io board. if you want to do two players or, like, a controller and a lightgun, you need the blister. nothing special about it, there just isn't a second serial port on the base hardware.
