FPGA World Tour

You’d more or less be getting the same TV experience but with the hassle of taking discs/cards out.

Thanks to the PC Engine thread I’ve played literally hundreds of PCE games on the MiSTeR and have encountered only one game with glitches and I am sure I just need to file the bug report.

And it doesn’t look as cool as the real frankensteins of hardware.

yeah, no, for me this is largely the point

but you’re right, the appeal just isn’t the same as a real Duo/PC-Engine

It’s funny this thing is finally going on sale, because the announcement of it and my panicking about how I was gonna get a hold of certain games and all that is what I think prompted @meauxdal to tell me to just get a Mister.

When I wound up putting the one game that couldn’t be run off an SD card in my Mega Sg, and…ran everything else off the SD card, I think that was it for me and Analogue stuff.

They’re pretty good, though! Still glad I got a Super Nt and finally got to play a bunch of Super Nintendo/Famicom games “authentically”…I just try not to think about how much I would have saved on a Mister back then…

yeah i have an NT Noir and the Super NT which are both useful to me because i have a lot of those carts. i own exactly 3 PC-E CD games, and even though the consumer in me is tempted to start on the TG-16 route, it just feels slightly less urgent.

like i’d rather impulse buy an actual PC-E on a trip to Japan or something

Checked out the newest Saturn pre-alpha last night and wow.

Blast Wind, Hyper Duel, Keio 2 all played great with semi-quiet but fine sound.

Sega Rally played perfectly fine outside of some audio crackles.

No Music in NiGHTS so why bother.

Virtua Fighter just worked. That really impressed me.

Much like that one goober if anyone has a game they want me to try and I cna throw it on.

Gals Panic S also worked great.

I’m insulted, Gals Panic S is the sole game in the franchise to not be pornographic and

Pretty Mister Cases since folks were asking recently.

Exactly what I was for, thanks! I got the kinda orangey one. It says gold but eh

I’m curious about the new console like one they teased but it looks super expensive and who knows when it will come out. Plus I’d have to toss my hub and io board and that seems like a waste.

That Magenta (Rampage Red?) is also really pretty.

Someday I will be able to afford this, lol.

Neo Geo Pocket core getting close now. games are booting! this thing was announced forever ago and has been hit with considerable delays, but it seems to be approaching the finish line

excited

also the Saturn core is really shaping up! played some Gex on there the other night and it seemed really close

And Neo Geo Cd core is released complete with 4x CD speed to get past those load times. It’s on the main update distro. I’m excited to eventually try some Neo Geo CD games this time. I’ve missed the chance to play Neo Geo CD games for 20 years!

robert peip is doing some kind of black magic or ritual sacrifice type shit, there’s no way

he already has a retail n64 game (namco museum 64) running pretty well (some glitches here and there) with audio on the DE-10 nano. like… what? that ain’t legal

he’s already working on the RSP! what the actual fuck

non-trivial to get a mister setup for a reasonable price these days due to chip shortages and the de-10 nano’s price going up like 3 times since 2020, but it is still the absolute best dedicated gaming device you can purchase in 2023, for any amount of money, imo

i’d literally rather have a mister than a PS5!

when i got in, it was already the best price/value proposition i’d ever partaken in w/r/t videogames. there were a lot more bugs then, and stuff like MacPlus and NeoGeo were randomly unstable and janky. but, the locomotive keeps chugging and more stuff keeps dropping and it’s like ubiquitous christmas

e.g. cores added since i got onboard the mister train:

  • 32x
  • Atari 7800 - world-class implementation, possibly preferable to MAME/ProSystem
  • Cave 68000 (DonPachi, DoDonPachi, Dangun Feveron, ESP Ra.De, Guwange)
  • Irem M92 (R-Type Leo, In the Hunt, Gunforce, Ninja Baseball Batman)
  • Konami (TMNT; X-Men and Simpsons coming soon)
  • Neo-Geo CD
  • Playstation (with save states!)
  • Sega System 16 (Out Run, Super Hang-On, Cotton, E-SWAT, Fantasy Zone II)
  • Toaplan (Snow Bros. 2, Tatsujin / Truxton, Tatsujin O, OutZone; Batsugun coming soon)
  • Wonderswan/Color (with save states!)

i just love this device and i wish more people could experience it

Really wish we’d get save states for the other 16bit cores though.

sadly it would require major rewrites - SNES/Genesis/TG16 cores weren’t written with savestates in mind and as a result there’s no way to cleanly and simultaneously pause/unpause everything and store the state.

SNES with its enhancement chips is also troublesome for this

massive amount of work in order to fix the cores not having certain (very useful and good) emulator enhancements - the effort/payoff ratio for a core developer is really pretty poor

it’ll happen eventually, i’m sure
