Love how they have brought FPGAs to the retro gaming scene. I noticed you compared latency of the Nano against other software emulation systems, but what about latency as compared to the original hardware (and perhaps for other emulated systems)?
Compared to original hardware it's a lot of latency the way he had it set up. LCD TVs, the up-scaling required to display on them, and using USB controllers add a load latency.
I'm a returning student for EE, a cnc machinist by day, and have a my first 3d printer pre-ordered. Your channel is like life goals lol. Keep up the great content and cool projects!
That looks so neat!!! Love how you integrate woodworking with 3D printing. That 3D printer looks easy to use even for a beginner like me!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well.. to call it woodwork is maybe a bit to fat. Subtractive manufacturing.
Hey, FPGA content on CZcams! Nice. Here's some background info on the FPGA design process:
When they mean that they x-rayed the chips, that's because the HDL (hardware description language) used by the FPGA almost demands that you understand where every single bit of data is stored and read (in "registers"). You can count the amount of registers used in any given HDL file, when they're operated on, and where they are output. That means meticulous management of keeping everything lockstep, but that is the desired goal: cycle accurate, rendering accurate circuitry that will honestly implement every little hardware bug that game designers explicitly worked around.
Note that the reason "cycle accurate" circuitry is important is because older consoles had far less leeway in processing speed. Their cheap nature made the programming difficult, so sometimes programmers had to push the limits of what was possible. Say your GPU can only render 10(!) sprites on screen, but using all 10 will slow down the GPU by a few 100 clock cycles . That could be enough to have the CPU fail to keep the frame rate unless you program around it. Without the hardware slowdown, though, this hacky code will now run faster than intended and that could be your emulation failure. FPGAs literally act how the hardware is designed, bugs and all down to the nanosecond.
When I say circuits, I mean circuits. FPGAs take a long string of 1s and 0s and electrically connect and disconnect registers and transistors together. They're connected in billions of grids that can route electricity to any register to any register. But this electricity takes time to flow, and so advanced AI algorithms attempt to organize your design so it can run as fast as possible. That means higher clock speeds that you know and love.
The FPGA being used is the DE-10 Nano. I actually coded the DE-10 Lite for a Uni project making a custom mini CPU. Sadly, my left over board is half the size for most MiSTer cores. And you might be surprised that the DE-10 Nano is like 200$ in 2023 because of chip shortages! I've heard stories of companies buying old testing boards and ripping off the FPGAs for use; that's just a rumor but that's how in demand FPGAs can be. Making such reconfigurable hardware means paying a lot for potential functionality you don't use.
And why wouldn't you? As long as whatever you're coding doesn't process faster than 400MHz or needs gigabytes of fast memory, you can feasibly emulate any design up to the GBA at consumer price points.
TL;DR: FPGAs are niche devices that trade in processing power and design complexity for configurable electronics on a hardware level. But since retro gamers don't nee gigahertz and are dedicated to accurate emulation gaming, MiSTer might be what you need.
Wonderful video, brother. I've been following you for years now and I'm enjoying the traction you deserve. Your attention to detail has remained very diligent throughout your entire 'Zac Builds' saga and it shows. Top-notch production, presentation, aesthetic, articulation, and know-how. Keep it up! - Josh.
It should be noted that SNAC is not always the best choice for original controllers. It does reproduce the behavior and (lack of) latency, but you also can't control the OSD with a SNAC connection. If you use a low latency USB adapter, or daemonbite adapters (which use a microcontroller and open source code) you only sacrifice 1 ms of lag and regain the ability to control the OSD (the MiSTer's menu system) and remap buttons as well as use the controller for any system.
When it comes to input lag, the test done in this video is missing a lot of context.
Does he have USB fast polling enabled in the MISTer? Does he have the latency numbers on his TV? Does he have it in game mode? Did he use the same controller on the PC? What emulator did he use on PC? What settings? These are all major factors. Then you get into things like run-ahead settings which are complicated.
Overall though I'm glad to see more people talking about the MiSTer project, it's such a cool and fun emulation platform with so much development going on right now.
love the fractal inspiration for the case.
I'm glad people are starting to use FPGAs more. Analogue has already shown us its capabilities.
Honestly, the only Analogue device worth the money is the Pocket, and there it's not because of the FPGA, it's because of the absolutely insane 1440p 4:3 screen that scales perfectly to the target platforms. Other than the gimmick of plugging in original games and have native HDMI output from them the FPGA guts aren't bringing that much to the table there.
wdym? Isn't FPGA still digital?
@@randomnobody660 Analogue is a company that produces FPGA consoles
@@adyx pfft ok. Can't read somehow, but nice name.
The MIST project (which is what the MISTer forked from) predates the analogue NT, which was Analogue's first FPGA console.
Kevtris was also doing FPGA NES stuff long before he consulted with Analogue.
Strictly speaking, Analogue didn't show us the way. They just made it much more popular. If anyone, Kevtris did.
I've never seen a sponsorship so well integrated in to the video. That alone makes the video much better than others where it's basically the same as any other ad.
Thanks! This actually took some negotiation on my end, they originally approached me about doing a showcase/review but I said how about I just use it in a build instead. It's more fun for everyone that way.
@@ZacBuildsdo you have any personal reservations with Anker and their privacy issues? LMG specifically won't work with them because of their history of not respecting customer privacy
It’s pretty cool how you get an idea and then just make it, other people just think “that would be cool.” You turn it into “this will be cool” and I think that’s cool
Very cool build! The MiSTer is an excellent setup and is getting better by the day.
spent 5 minutes trying to figure out where the sponsor segment ended
FPGA means you can program it as you see fit after final assembly, basically you can make a lot of cool things with it with no hardware modifications just via software, it does not program it self!
Your work is really inspiring. ❤ its not only the doing of the doable but also the passion of doing it perfect
Another great video as always! Love that you use tons of different tools / materials in every project!
Thanks man! I love trying new things and integrating it into whatever I'm working on, keeps things fresh for me.
Really cool thing about the Mister is that it can run on any display you want. It can run on a SD CRT, HD CRT, VGA CRT, and Modern HD TV. It is such a cool feature that will satisfy anyone and will work on their TV reguardless of what they own.
Also I do disagree about filters. After I went CRT filters I can't go back. CRT filters make any system from the 5th generation and before look significantly better. Plus it makes the art in these games looks far better and make more sense. Even with GBA I use an LCD filter instead of raw pixels. I can't really go back to raw pixels.
I never liked CRT filters, they totally killed the colors. Maybe I am using them wrong?
An interesting video! I've been using one of these for years. I upgraded from the slice system to using a "multisystem" for the MISTer. I recommend that over the slice way of doing things. Great fun all the same. Happy Gaming!
The bright cherry-wood would have made it pop a lot more, so I think it would have worked better with it.
Problem is that it doesn't match with the other wood in the room so for that reason you're wrong.
@@volundrfrey896 While you might think so, having a bit of contrast doesn't hurt. Especially when the ratio is so overwhelmingly in favor of one side. The bright wood would make the console pop, which would also accentuate the darker wood.
@@SapioiT No you're wrong here. It would look messy and unplanned.
@@volundrfrey896Fashion is more subjective than you think.
Indeed
Zack....I love your kind of videos so much.
Keep it up!
Thanks man, will do! :)
I have those same barrel plug adapters and use them for FPV goggles. I found if you gently pull on the wire, it is likely to fall out. The simple solution was a small bead of solder on the tip of the wire so that it can't slip back out by the screw.
That is never a good idea. You should never tin wires that go in screw terminals, the solder deforms over time under the pressure and leads to a bad connection, cheap 3D printers have this problem and it can lead to fires. If you need to use stranded wire then you should use ferrules. You can get a cheap crimper with a set of ferrules very cheap. Or if you use solid core wire and it pulls out then add some strain relief.
@@conorstewart2214 I appreciate your concern but the solder isn't under pressure and merely locks the wire in place. I've used this method for numerous years at this point. It may not be ideal for every application but for my goggle wire, it's perfect.
@@Cappurnikus if the solder isn’t under pressure and is just holding the wire in then the wire itself might not be under pressure and might not have a good connection. If the pressure on the wire is holding it in then you know it has a good connection. It’s probably good enough for powering some goggles but I definitely wouldn’t trust it for anything higher power.
Good call! I actually had to re-seat those wires a few time before I got enough clamping pressure on them where they would stay in there properly.
Thank you for the detailed review on M5C. I've been thinking of getting one and I'm definitely going to use M5C for creating unique objects!
That's an awesome ad for this 3D printer. I want to watch more stuff printed with this.
Nice! I've been going back and forth considering the Mister and ended up deciding against it. RGB-Pi OS with the RGB adapter in a Pi4 runs everything up to PS1 with pretty much the same low lag, provided you use a real CRT screen (PVM, TV, or arcade monitor) - which you should! :)
Really cool video and a nice display of the 3D printer as well. However, it would be more interesting to see the difference in delay between the original hardware and the DE10 Nano, plus the PC emulator if you're still interested in that, just to get a complete picture. But I guess getting original hardware just for one video might not be easy, so I understand. Keep up the good work!
Thats the best title + thumbnail combo Ive ever seen. Nice
Thanks!
Nice case, I kinda like the dual tone you got by varying the print speed. I've been thinking about FPGAs too, just wish they had a prettier GUI
Thats all cool and everything but ONKER? Is that right?
I prefer to say (W)Anker
That's pretty awesome! The fan cover looks really nice its a shame the IO couldn't be on the same side as the fan cover. That would make it nice astatically sitting on your entertainment center. Don't get me wrong love the first design.
I mean sometimes emulation is the superior experience but I get that fpgas are the way to go for an accurate experience
But they're also relatively expensive.
It could also be possible to run the game at higher quality with an FPGA while also being accurate.
Software emulation is just more easier to do since you can use it on more common hardware and given common hardware usually powerful enough to run the game at higher quality than default.
@@pieceofschmidtgamerespecially when most people already own something that can run software emulation already.
Im a hardcore collector myself, I have tons of original hardware etc and I also have a both an emulator arcade cab and a couple different fpgas.... all that being said, I actually prefer good software emulation against fpga or original hardware, with the exception of my analouge pocket. All the extra features like shaders, hd patches, save states, rewind, fast forward, bezels, etc etc really enhance the experience and sure, you loose some accuracy but most people would be hard pressed to actually cite any difference between the three themselves.
My thoughts exactly. As soon as I heard his statement on it, it raised an eyebrow for me. The emulators these days can be really good, and it's been well over a decade since I played my old favorites anyways. For so many games, I've never played the original, so I couldn't tell the difference of there was any.
Sure, there are definitely titles that either don't work or behave erratically, but I can accept that. Some consoles will really benefit from hardware emulation especially when the original silicon was low quality(XBOX360).
Congrats on getting a 3d printer! Since you like wood so much I thought you should know that there are some PLA wood filaments that you can use for printing and I am pretty sure are able to be stained too.
Yes! I've been meaning to buy some and test it out. Really cool stuff. Just need to find the right project for it....
He already had 3D printers, didn’t he? I remember him having some X1 Carbon’s..
I’m sure you’ll be told by many, but to plane really thin veneers, you can place it on a sled or run board on a bandsaw.
The fins need to be away from the fan, every little millimeter helps, since it was a CNC profile its easy to do. Also spreading the fans apart a little as one of them is blowing straight into the RAM module. Maybe glue them in the middle and let the ends of the wood hang unsupported? Would look pretty cool actually.
Hey Zac, new to your channel and loving your retro gaming videos. Now that you have done so many different versions, I would love to see a round up video on the all the different styles that you have from PI to FPGA to Handheld. Like which one do you daily drive and what do you like/dislike about each one.
So.. exactly how did your $4k pc get destroyed...?
Honestly, I had the same confusion initially, but I think he meant "destroyed his PC" to mean it outperformed his PC. The only reason I came to that conclusion is the fact that he compared it to his PC in the video and it's the only thing that makes sense.
It was click bait. So more accurately put, under his testing conditions the system outperformed his $4000 PC
The DE-10 Lite FPGA board was what we used in school for some of our digital logic design and embedded systems classes, the labs specifically. Cool to see another practical use for the DE-10. Great video!!
Ya I've had quite a few friends who went to school for electrical engineering tell me they know the DE10 quite well haha. I wouldn't be suprised if some University class was the birth place of the MiSTer.
I’ve been working on the inverse coding analog circuits! This is pretty cool!
that looks really cool. i love it.
I really like that it gives a more real/ layered look & feel to it. It's essentially keeping dying games/hardware alive.. This Seem's really important the more we move into this era of losing access to older physical hardware. I just wish there was a way to upgrade so it would be possible to play a broad range of game consoles.
Thanks for the video 👍
I love that it looks like a Fractal Design case. I may have a addiction to most Fractal Design stuff from using a Meshify 2 XL.
You should have mocked up an arangement of the fins alternating wood types just to see if that would have looked good.
This is the physical embodiment of the word, “neat”.
Nice build! A few suggestions for design improvements: replace the barrel jack with a cheap USB-C PD board set to 5V, so you can use any USB-C (or even USB-A, assuming it has sufficient output) power brick. And maybe use one of ADT-link's slim HDMI extensions designed for case-internal use so that you don't have to fit that thick extension cable?
Also, one major advantage of FPGA emulation that you fail to mention: emulation accuracy. Software-based emulation is good, but it's very often quite inaccurate, which results in anything from game features missing outright to various glitches. FPGA-based hardware emulation, as long as the core is well written, will avoid this entirely, as it will be an effective 1:1 match with the original hardware.
they just now added a n64 core a few weeks back is so exciting for retro gaming
i love the wood fins
Using an FPGA to hardware emulate is pretty close, if not indetical, ti original hardware as the little quirks can be replicated also.
Software emulation is always a compromise and difficult to get right. There was a project named MISTer that was my first experience with FPGA. Thanks for a great video.
Question on the printer: Is the slicer a modified version of Cura? I've user Cura on my Ender 5 and been quite impressd with it.
Yea, it’s cura.
I love how he used the walnut to replicate the fractal north pc case
Hold on, the case is similar to Fractal Design North...
Also I'd prefer walnuts.
Since modern COU's have multiple cores and generally 2 threads per core... its quite easily to emulate the chips themselves on a per core basis.
That's really cool 👍
However I'd just be recycling lolly sticks instead of using new wood given the size (maybe glue some together if they're not thick enough) and use at least 3 fans for a "PC look".
Also think it's missing that all important RGB 😜
What program are you using for CAD for editing/designing the 3D printed files?
I'm using Fusion 360 for all the design/CAD work. Once you've got your model the way you want you can just go File > 3D print and it sends it right to the slicer of your printer. Pretty awesome integration.
@@ZacBuilds Thanks for replying - just getting started in making/editing my own models for 3D Printing, so it is good to find out what other makers are using (and what works best). I actually have access to Fusion 360 via student program, so will give it a try! 😁👍
Note: Was also great to see you using the new AnkerMake M5C, I backed the AnkerMake M5 in Kickstarter (it is my first 3D Printer).
I watched this video som days ago and i was wondering about your lag results. I think 100ms for a pc is a lot, but maybe i m wrong, and i think also for the mister 81ms is on the high side. By chance, did you set up HDMI sync to the minimal lag version on the mister ( value 2 in the ini file )? That could shave off another frame of lag in theory.
He probably could shave of a lot of lag through different settings in the emulator. When I first experienced RUN-AHEAD and similar options on RetroArch on my PC it was incredible. The games felt fine before, but actually felt like playing the real deal after I activated every setting that reduces input lag. It was sooooooo much better.
@@Rosa_Canina run-head is kind of cheating of course, and i have no idea how it can process the next frame before i actually pressed the buttons. Considering that when you have 8 buttons and 4 directions you can't even do all the combinations
@@andreabogazzi5410 Not really cheating. It basically just eliminates a lot of input lag by running the game a frame ahead and processing as example a jump and if you ARE pressing jump at the next frame they use that state but if you are not they roll back and stay with the original input.
In the end this just means they process your input slightly earlier, which shortens the input delay emulation has. As a player you basically see the game later because of emulation but your input got processed at the right position.
@@Rosa_Canina i know how it works, so that is why i was saying is a bit of cheating if you are comparing system latency and the difference between a OS + software implementation compared to a more simple and direct implementation of the system that run the same game. I was pointing out that the fact that some emulators have run ahead, and considering the systems that can have run ahead and that can not ( how does runahead work with analog input? ) suggesting to enable run ahead in a generic lag comparison with 2 different machines and systems feels like skewing the results. It makes look like that not enabling runahead is a misconfiguration use case, while is not. This is what i mean
is there a way to have multiple controllers?
You should see if you can plug the wifi adapter in to one of the USB ports that aren’t accessible from the outside.
Good call, I definitely think I could fit it into one of the upper ones.
Love the video, as always, and this is not a criticism as I love the idea of all types of emulation, including hardware with FPGA and you did a great vid on it, but I just found one bit interesting - SO the whole point of the video, at least going by the intro, was about authenticity.. so I just found it interesting when it came to controllers that you said you prefer simplicity as opposed to using a real controller, which you can do with the mister because for me, while i love BOTH ways (playing on my PC with launchbox, or on pi4 emulation station..or with real hardware) the real difference when it comes to playing with real hardware, for me, is actually the physical part. I reckon id barely notice the imperfections in emulation that aren't "100% accurate" (other than those that I WANT, like sprite limit removal) but I DO notice the clunk of putting a cartridge into a system, and the feel of a real controller that are just so different in shape and feel to modern controllers. That and playing on a CRT are the two main reasons I will always play on real hardware from time to time, in spite of all the positives of emulation.
Anyways.. great video.. just wanted to post that part that was interesting to me.
Where did you get the usb board?
Awesome video, just a small point, the N64 it’s actually being recreated for the MiSTer project, so it probably would be possible.
Greetings from Spain!
What I'd love to see is this FPGA being able to fit on a pci-e slot on my pc, like any othe expansion card.
you'd lose the advantage of the FPGA as I understand it because the video signal would still have to run through the GPU and thus lose a frame due to buffer. That's how I understand it at least
Instantly recognized the fractal design north design, awesome
Yes. FPGAs are the way. Walnut is also the way. Great job!
I 100% aggre on both sentences lol
Hey!!! Thank you for the great video!!! BTW with that haircut you look very similar to Pippin from LOTR 😁
@11:01 It was an interesting point: start with a stick measuring two feet long and half a foot wide and one inch thick, and cut enough of it to make 4-5 ice cream sticks. It is a good idea for a company like Algida. Nice build by the way.
love it. should have printed the front part the same direction as the other 2 so it would match better with the way the layer lines reflect the light. you need to stain the cherry wood not just an oil for it to pop. just oil on cherry looks bad
Sonic II on Sega Genesis was my childhood
Part of the delay is the Hz of the monitors. There's a reason you use retro monitors/TV's. It removes the delay that comes from LCD screens.
To be fair, modern TVs got a lot better in delay in their native resolution. It was A LOT WORSE a few years ago. So as long as he doesnt upscale the Mister-Image through his TV the Lag from the TV CAN be pretty minimal. A CRT will always be better, of course but there are good enough screens out there, that feel great. Problem is, that even same models can be different in LAG, so its mostly a game of luck when buying a new TV.
That looks like a magnetic flexible build plate. To remove a print take the surface off and bend it to pop the print loose.
I mean if it just yanks off I don't blame him for skipping that step :)
"Ideally" you wanna just wait for the print to cool and it should release from the build plate by itself lol, but if youre in a hurry yea you can just pick the bed up and flex it
I like the case it look like a mini Fractal North
wonder why you didn't chose teac and silky white PLA though
does the North use teac? not even sure TBH but since it is Scandnavin I just assume it does.
…legally acquired, he says! 😂
😂
QUESTION: With the emulated scan lines can you play duck hunt for the NES on that with a modern tv with no other mods than the original zapper gun and the emulated game?
Not with emulated scanlines, no. You can, however, use the SNAC adapter he mentioned and use a zapper on a CRT.
There are other types of light guns you can use on MiSTer with an HDTV though.
How dare you come for my precious cherry wood like that!!? I mean c'mon. It's not red oak.
When he tool the first peice of the printer it sounded like the lego building sound
the case looks like a miniature fractal design north
I'm watching this while making, basically, my own console. We had to make a game on an FPGA for school. And I asked if I could borrow one of a FPGA from school and upgrade my project to the vision I had while designing it and make each 'component' more programmable and less fixed function.
N64 core is actually under development. It was long said it couldn't be done, but Robert Peip, the developer of the PS1 core has already gotten some simple retail games running. Saturn core is indeed under development and looking really good so far.
WAIT WHAT GLUE DO YOU USE?
Question, does the lag reduce if you use a hardware input button instead of a USB device? EG an actual Atari NES or Genesis controller
if you use snac its the same as original hardware and he didnt use fast polling of the usb and HDMI has a option to reduce lag by using the original signal even more some tvs can handle it "vsync_adjust" by default mister is set to vsync_adjust=0 is the lesser option, but the most compatible with all tvs . the thing with fpga is there is no overhead which result in smooth game play every time unlike a PC the process is always working in the background
Yes, using original hardware can reduce lag, but also there are low latency USB devices. The controller showed is only 6 ms over USB, for example.
SNAC is kind of overhyped. It's great for light guns and other odd peripherals, but with controllers you can't access the MiSTer's menu, or remap controls or use controllers on other systems. You can instead get USB adapters for these old controllers that only add about 1 ms of input lag.
SNAC doesn't stop you from using the menu in any way with other usb controllers that are not SNAC its not overhyped some prefer using og controllers @@dinierto
@@soloM81 you cannot use the MiSTer menu with a SNAC device. You will need another USB controller or keyboard. You also cannot remap controls, or use the controller on other systems.
However, with Daemonbite, you can do all of these things and only add 1 ms of input lag, and STILL use original controllers. So yes, SNAC is overhyped by users. The developers themselves say the same thing, unless you're a speed runner it's impossible to notice 1 ms of input lag.
never said i did but you can use a regular usb controller to bring up the menu i have mister and do it all the time @@dinierto
Great video as always.
Thanks!
...but what was the input latency running on original hardware...?
I think it would have been better to plug the USB Wifi into one of the ports that is not externally accessible. it would have given one more external port and resulted in a cleaner external look.
The truly odd thing is it sometimes feels like emulators actually haven't improved over the years. That would seem insane, but it's sadly true. The more an emulator tries to target accuracy, the more compute power you need to use it.
now put it in a handheld with switch rails. I believe in you.
what emulation app do you run on your phone?
"and remember, don't fly Air Canada"
Should that be my new sign off 😂
I don't need CRT emulation these days, I just take my glasses off 😀😀
Natures anti-aliasing 😂
I wonder what the response time is on native hardware
I know, I really wanted to test that, alas I couldnt find a Sega genesis in time to get this video done on time.
Now the challenge is making it into a PCIE card, I'd love to plug in my PS2 Emulator board to my unused 8x slot!
I have an Analogue Mega SG and can confirm it works like the original with improvements.
id really like to see these work with up to early 2000s hardware. if there is anything already out there that be great but im still looking
Digital Signal Processors can do the same thing as Field Programmable Gate Arrays - they can be reconfigured to function as any type of processing architecture. Useful for networking, audio, video, general purpose CPU, etc. The other cool part of DSPs is when one isn't fast enough to tackle the role of a different processor you simply add more of them. In this way the DSP can be used to function as the electronic stem cells of a future proof PC.
The wifi dongle should have been placed on one of the USB ports hidden inside the case for an ever more cool look... but overall you killed it 🤜
As someone old to enough to have played on all of these consoles when they were new, software emulation is perfectly fine and you don't need to spend money on things like Mister to have a good experience. I'm glad that I can get rid of my old consoles as they just took up space in my house.
brilliant project. that some hardware i would buy
Great and pretty interesting Video ;) But as a guy working in electric kind of company I have to say this... please... never... NEVER do things like in 8:54 WITHOUT ferrules... i know it's an extra step to do, but especially on hardware get's moved around or has kind of small vibrations and so on, ferrules will save the Copper in your wire at the long run. Had some people having problem of connection problems cause they didn't use ferrules. Copper got kind of "screwed" up by the rotating screw and when it moves it's kind of a scissoring movement which faster or later will remove enough copper so you don't have proper connections anymore or even Cable can slip out of connector and even can give short circuits.
Besides this, great and interesting video like i said earlier and hopefully some time in the future we also can make great emulations of "newer" consoles like N64 or even Camecube and so on like this ;)
Your case gives me Fractal North vibes. And I have a Fractal North, so I approve
It looks like a tiny Fractal North. I like it.
This is cool!
Improperly set up scanlines are dumb, but when correctly configured for your resolution and with appropriate parameters it gets the experience much closer to the original thing. That is because most art in retro games is made for CRTs, which create a multitude of new colors as the beam blends the pixels during scan.
What cad software was used?
everyone loves the fractal design north
