it has:
2x resolution for scaled sprites (makes Mode 7-esque stuff like Mario Kart Super Circuit look nicer)
lower latency and better picture quality than even a Game Boy Player with GCDigital and Game Boy Interface (lowest latency and best picture quality of any official hardware)
2p core so you can play 2 instances side-by-side for multiplayer or Pokemon trading, etc.
save states!
so i can practice speedrun strats without having to adjust for input latency while still being able to use save states. itās a game changer
same with PSX - having the crazy low input latency along with save states is a huge boon for speedrunning practice. iāve been able to get way more done when grinding tricks than i was on hardware, and emu always feels off
This stopped working for me a week ago! It hangs at mame-getter . Should probably delete and reinstall update_all see if that helps but I donāt got time.
R-Type Is Out!
If you look up in this thread I was a big hater and then stupidly bought one and I love it. I would describe myself as someone who doesnāt mind Retroarch and yet!! This just lets me play the damn game. Iāve said this a dozen times before.
Like really wish the 16bit cores had save states but the moment to moment play experience is so much better than the mini consoles.
The PCE pinball games are games Iāve never played on original hardware. That goes for most if not all of the PCE library.
For some reason Iāve gotten my highest scores in Devilās Crush on the mister.
I donāt know if I can chalk that up to latency or emulation accuracy, but the first few times I played it on the platform I remember thinking the game seemed a lot easier.
Maybe Iāve just gotten better?
In any event, the mister is a really cool toy that has unfortunately gotten way too expensive due to supply shortages or demand or whatever else can be blamed.
When thereās a surplus of DE-10 nanos and people canāt give them away, Iāll probably buy a second one.
I wonder about this, too. Iāve played my share of emulators, ports, mini consoles, and actual systems, and the Mister feels closer to the real deal than anything else. Definitely feels like Iām doing better on here than elsewhere.
I dunno though, I mean, I get it. Itās maybe a needlessly fancy way to play games. But honestly, I find the Mister much nicer than slamming my head against fine tuning RetroArch on my Pi 4.
Plus I can play (almost) all the Klonoa games on one little box. Miraculous.
got the analog IO board for the Mister set up today. did not realize i was going to also need a DAC to get sound out of it so the set up is a little wonky at the moment, but gosh, everything looks so nice on my JVC
Just in case you are brain poisoned Analog NT is doing a Final Round of Mega SG and Super whatevers. Just get a Mister instead.
The Saturn core is still progressing.
Grandpa was saying there was a huge price jump for the complete mister kits but will say the one I got from aliexpress/theretrocastle is still a /mere/ 400 dollars.
Maybe one day the 16bit cores will add save states and stop wasting my time. Why do I even own real consoles at this point. I NEED save states.
yeah one of the primary motivators for getting Analogue stuff, for me, was the thought that āi have a lot of carts sitting in my momās basement and i should probably get them someday now that iām inarguably an adultā
but yeah, Super NT made me fall in love with the SNES again
Oh absolutely. I never had a Super Nintendo, so the Super Nt was a thrill. Especially since (pre-pandemic) you could order Japanese versions of games that sell here for $40+ for like, $4 shipped on eBay.
I think what pushed me to the Mister was āI hate fucking around with RetroArch, I want something I can easily hook up to a CRT TV, and I donāt want to keep giving Analogue hundreds of dollars for each bespoke system.ā
That said, I do miss the nice clack of Super Famicom carts clunking around.
Psycho Taromaru and Asuka 120% Burning Limited work completely fine on the newest build. If it is primarily 2D it will probably work great. Played rounds of Hyper Duel and Blast Wind without a problem.
Sega Rally Championship (J) is playable but the sound cuts out. a lot of games are playable just get ready for some screaming noise followed by silence.
so the set up is a little wonky at the moment, but gosh, everything looks so nice on my JVC
