MiSTer Review - Game Sack

- Episode 247 - The MiSTer is an FPGA-based device that runs cores for many different platforms. It originates from the MiST project which had an initial goal of creating an FPGA version of the Atari ST computer. Curiously, there is no Atari ST core for the MiSTer at the time this video is being released, but I fully expect one in the future. I bought my MiSTer and the add-ons at the appropriately-named www.misteraddons.com and they were extremely helpful in helping me set up my MiSTer and also the making of this video, as was Smokemonster whose channel can be found here - / smokemonster

Wow, I can't believe Joe replaced Dave with an FPGA-based device that runs cores for many different platforms.
TOO SOON MAN, TOO SOON.
I'm ok with this.
The difference Is not quite as noticable
Pretty sure that was Joe in a new 3d printed shell.
The dave core is slightly off, needs less hair and more weight (j/k).
even though Dave is gone I am still gonna stick around
Hell yeah. Been here for years and I'm not leaving now.
Don’t you mean..... sack around 😉
Dave is gone? I really didn't notice.
@@rampart1234 BLASPHEMY
Who's this Dave character ppl are talking about?
We need an updated mister review, it's come on a long way since this video was made.
How does it look now?
Oh, for computers, I forgot to mention: Amstrad PCW and EDSAC! For consoles, I forgot to mention that it now supports Game Boy Color games as well as the Super Game Boy!
I fully agree.
I agree also!
@@nidhoggsvrede Some of what's happened since the video was uploaded is added support for: Sega CD, Pc Engine CD, Lynx, Atari 7800, Game Gear, GBA, various home computers + Neo Geo, CPS1 and a bunch of standalone arcade cores ... and there's always people working on stuff, CPS2 looks to be released in the near future and X68000 too. And that's just what I can think of.
"Currently there is no way to plug in your Sega 3D glasses, so if you want to play a 3D game, you can to straight to hell"
And there goes my drink flying from my mouth onto my monitor screen, Thanks Joe :D
As long as you keep producing content, you've got a watcher for life.
Life until Death Gamesack is Cool! I am Stoked!
I'm not going to stop watching.
That said, it would also be cool to see the odd 'guest' episode every now and again - just cause i'd like to see some GameSack collabs (and i'm used to the two-person / back and forth format)
Same here
Great Joe. Thnx for your hard work.
You have a viewer you mean ... A watcher just sounds creepy like your in a bush outside polishing your rocket...
I’m lovin’ it, Joe. This is a damn fine episode of Game Sack.
Decided to rewatch this to reminisce about just how far things have come for the MiSTer project in the past few years. It would be cool to see you revisit this at some point, maybe to talk about some of the many more cores that have come out since then, the vastly improved video output/scaling options, or just to see how much more accurate some of the cores you already talked about have become these days. Overall the system definitely feels a lot less bare-bones today than it did back in 2019!
The biggest advantage of the FPGA based simulation is the audio delay.
On software emulators, you have to use the CPU to simulate the audio circuits, and as you can't just write a program that updates the sound card 44100 times per second, you end up having to fill up a buffer, then sending the buffer and swapping etc.. so the sound ends a bit behind the video.
The solution to sound problems in emulating is simple, add at least 1 extra cpu core more than what you think you need when choosing the hardware so the sound alone can have a whole cpu to its self. (basically don't emulate on anything less than a quad core cpu) Today if you want the most bang for your buck on a real SUPER emulation device buy a laptop with specifically a 4K ready integrated GPU and an 8 core cpu(or 8 logical processors to be specific) like a late model i5cpu is good enough and make sure it has an actual hard drive of some kind in it and that would get you probably 1 step better than most devices in console emulation and it would have the space to fit every game for ever console even CD and DVD based consoles. That would probably be cheaper than an Xbox atm TBH lol. They even have HDMI out and enough usb ports for mutiplayer couch gaming on the go portable and it fits in a "Game Sack" lol so its not a pain to bring it to a friends house and plug it into a big tv. Another trick...... consoles had dedicated SPUs so to emulate that properly its not a good idea to send the sound through the HDMI, sending it anywhere else forces the integrated sound to do the sound processing giving it its own bandwidth on a separate processor like it should instead of making a GPU do the work of an SPU.
@@ModernRetroGameplay You could indeed do that, but the OS might still interrupt it. But we're talking 20-30ms of audio delay nowadays if you use something like retroarch and configure it by hand, which is like 1-2 frames away.
Feels weird without him but you are still very informative!
same, but honestly if one had to go glad it was Dave... nothing against Dave; just he was clearly elsewhere for a while. As a parent i know that; 'this is my passion but life is eating me alive' feeling all too well.
@@anasevi9456 You're not making me want to have a kid any time soon 😅
@@anasevi9456 Well, Joe did at least 80% of work in the duo - he is responsible for the technical side, filming, editing, writing scripts I think as well, so without him Game Sack won't exist anymore.
Joe's done solo reviews for consoles before so this one didnt feel weird at all but once he does various gaming genres & such then it will.
swoods08 agreed
Glad to see Gamesack still going!
Wait til the Mister Mister comes out!!
🎵Take..these broken games! And learn to play agaaaiin!!!🎶🎶
Mister Sister?
That's Mister Mister Mister to you, Mister.
"If you want to play a 3D game, you can go straight to hell."
Oddly enough, those almost sound like words to live by considering the current state of the gaming market.
We Keep supporting game sack til the end !! 👊🏻 , never give up Joe ! , and Dave we’re gonna miss you , but the show must go on
@@G1982_ You didnt know?
Watch atari lynx episode till end
1. AWESOME VIDEO! Thanks for giving MiSTer a spin and sharing it with your viewers!
2. Some corrections:
- The scaler and filters can be used via VGA output if you set vga_scaler=1 in the MiSTer.ini file
- HDMI out can have almost as low a latency as VGA output if you use vsync_adjust=2 in the MiSTer.ini file (these ini settings can be changed via the scripts that download with the updater without editing anything, also)
- Shimmering over HDMI can be greatly reduced/removed by using the Gaussian_Sharp filters. There are varying levels of sharpness to suit tastes there too.
- Autosave has been added to most console cores, so you wont need to select the "Save backup RAM" option every time you exit a game.
- Genesis audio now has selections for "Model 1", "Model 2", "Light Filter" and "Unfiltered", to suit tastes.
- 2+ players works in supported games, simply by adding the controller in the main MiSTer menu first. after you do that, the cores can assign buttons to them correctly.
- GBC didnt work most likely because you didn't add the correct BIOS, which is needed.
3. Additions:
- MiSTer has already been updated with lightgun support that even works over HDMI.
- Game Genie/Game Shark cheat codes have been added for all the major consoles.
- Extremely low latency input options are coming in the form of the LLCoolJoy, Blissbox's BlisSTer (retropad32 will also have serial connection capability in the future iirc)
- Coming Soon: TGFX CD & Dodonpachi Arcade
- If you encounter any glitches or errors in a game, report them on the MiSTer github page for the applicable core! Issues get fixed surprisingly quick, but only if they are known!
Great info thanks! Just got mine the other day. Only thing that confuses me is I can't load streets of rage 2. I've tried 2 roms that I got from my everdrive sd card and both load to black screen on mister. They work no prob on the everdrive.
Thanks for the additional info! But I'm talking REAL lightgun support, not mouse lightgun support. Real lightguns can't work over HDMI (well, the Zapper might but the Zapper works differently than the Light Phaser, Menacer and SuperScope). The mouse lightgun support (for Zapper) was added after this video was finished production.
@@chigimonky That's strange. Streets of Rage 2 is obviously a frequently played game and has worked forever on mister. I'm not sure what could be wrong here.
@@GameSack Mouse is not required. Wiimotes can be used as a lightgun in NES now, with support for other cores likely coming soon. It's not proper lightgun support, but that is in the works for analog output as well =) The BlisSTer addon, LLCoolJoy and RetroPad32 will all likely be able to support this. They will connect via serial to eliminate usb lag for extremely low latency controller connections, including Light Guns.
@@chigimonky come join us on the Classic Gaming Discord (linked in video description) to get help with any issues you might be encountering. Lots of friendly and helpful folks there.
This video got me interested in the MISTer project (thank you!). I don't see a lot of comments one year out, so a few updates for anyone curious--
- Genesis has Model 1 sound option
- Sega CD has been added (it's amazing)
- Neo Geo has been added
- Game Boy Advance has been added
- There's an official case that feels and looks amazing
- Tons of new Arcade boards, including some Capcom ones that are in development
Oh man you've got to do an update on this. The MiSTer is amazing these days.
You're doing a wonderful job as always, Joe. Yeah, I miss Dave, but you're definitely still making it worth my while to stick around. Thanks for all the great content. Keep it coming! And oh yeah, the MiSTer is RAD! Do you think it will support Pico 8 any time soon?
Wait I am put of the loop. What happened with Dave?
@@darkcoeficient Dave left the show to spend more time with his family, since he has a full-time job too
@@aquaglow1 oh. Thank you.
Good for him. These things are not easy at all. If there is so much going on then something will drop in quality. End of an era I guess.
I usually stop watching when a host leaves a show, but that's because they don't tell you why or whats going on.
So, thank you for being transparent!
Great episode Joe!
Helps that there was no drama, wasn't sudden. Like, we got a "warning" two episodes before he left. I think that does a lot.
That's super dumb dude.
@@niXity9000 right? Lol
Why do they owe you an explanation?
@@josephrowe2202 It's not that they owe us an explanation, but if Dave just disappeared without saying anything, that leaves room for lots of speculation. Most people would assume bad blood between them, and be turned off.
This way we understand why he left, and it's allows us throw on our support behind Joe fully.
Great episode! Rewatched it again after messing with the MiSTer all evening. It'd be cool to see an updated MiSTer video with all the advancements and additions that have come about in the past 2 years. :D
It would be funny to edit dave into every episode with a split screen looping clip of him sitting next to you. You can ask him questions and he can just stare at the camera while blinking or you can use a "yes, joe" or "i agree" clip every time you ask him a question.
Would be hilarious. Hope everything was on good terms
During the outrun moment my cat got scared and ran away. Great. Thanks MiSTer.
Because cat,not outrun's fault!
Cats are retarded,i still love them though.
Love the layered transition
"The part where we talk about." We. Pour one out for Dave. Still around in our hearts.
i'm so happy you decided to continue game sack without dave. You rock joe please never stop.
What happened to the other guy? Where is the other host? I liked him
zeroamericanhero He’s onto another Sack
This episode really tickled my horn. Thanks man!
Tip for the MSX core: You can mount that hard drive image on your PC with the SD card plugged into it, and manually unzip everything so you don't have to wait for the incredibly slow unzipping. After that, it's become my favorite core, honestly. Probably mostly as it's a platform I missed otherwise, and is really awesome.
Great tip!
This deserves and update--MiSTer cores and accessories have come so far in the past few years
There really needs to be a follow-up video for this as most of the cores for it have been perfected now. The state of the MISTer is leaps and bounds better than it was just a year ago and growing at a rapid pace.
@@bobs8005 Hello there!
Loved this episode, I’d be happy if there was more techie type videos like this in the future that I know you like making Joe
Who watches GameSack at 2:00 AM?
*OH BOY 2 AM!*
Me
11:04pm here.
3 AM here in Brazil.
I watch it at 11 PM! Time Zones all up in this mfkr! lol
REAL GAMESACK HOURS WHO UP
I would love to see an update to this video 2 years later... I suspect a lot of these mister cores have been updated many times since.
That ending skit was HILARIOUS my dude. 👍
Still the same great quality sack content, keep it up, Joe!
Welcome to the pilot episode of After Dave: Game Sack X.
sounds like a gundam show
Welcome to more gumby game graphics and solo joe sack!
The AD era? I see what you did there.
GameSack 2: The sacking
The sackining
"If you want to play a Sega 3D game you can go straight to Hell". Perfect.
Those screen transitions are amazing. (yes, I'm 2 years late but still.. wanted to mention) !
Hi, please try vsync_adjust=2 in MiSTer.ini (vsync_low_latency script) for removing stuttering and lag from the HDMI output. Some TV sets may have problems (especially with specific cores), but most will work. You can even have per core settings in the ini (so falling back to vsync_adjust=0 for very specific cores). Try custom filters (it's a core menu option) like Gaussian Sharp 4 or higher, for best quality scaling with no shimmering.
I think the stuttering was in the video itself. I saw it on non game play segments too. It might have been his rendering software for the final output.
darthv72 let me explain vsync_adjust setting.
With vsync_adjust=0 (the default, out of the box value) MiSTer scaler (which sits between the “virtual/mimicked” console/computer RGB output and the real HDMI out) uses a triple buffer and the original display frequency; so if you i.e. set the HDMI out to 1080p60 you get a video out at 60Hz (best TV compatibility) while, if you use the SNES core, the console video out is at 60.09Hz, so the scaler, through the triple buffer, scales the image and does frame pacing introducing 2 frames of lag and some stuttering (but no tearing). If you set vsync_adjust=1, the scaler still uses a triple buffer (so 2 frames of lag) but it uses the console/computer video out frequency, so no more stuttering but you can get some incompatibility between weird frequencies and some TV sets not supporting them. With vsync_adjust=2 the scaler uses a single buffer (actually just few lines of buffering) and the original console/computer frequency: if your TV supports it, this is the best mode, with just few lines (sub 1 frame, probably less than 1millisecond) of lag and no stuttering: actually the same as an OSSC, but with the added benefit of having a real scaler and not just a line multiplier.
@@Locutus73 I think you are reading to much into my comment. I'm not saying your suggestion is wrong, quite the contrary. I just noticed a stuttering in the overall video, meaning his render was not clean so it stutters every few seconds throughout the entire thing. Kind of like a buffer issue and I know i'm not the only one who noticed.
The EU region could've done worse than just squashed the resolution and slowed it down. After all, you didn't mention any deadly drops of water before you switched to US.
That happens in NTSC regions, too, but only in Europe-developed games.
The MiSTer deserves a follow-up video. It's absolutely amazing right now.
I vote on an update video. The MiSTer has gotten so much in the 2 or so years since this video. WonderSwan, Neo Geo, even Capcom CPS1 and 2 are all represented now and then some. Give it to us, Dave!
I’ll give the ‘post Dave’ era a chance.
Interesting video by the way.
That's all I can ask. And thanks!
Game Sack I think we owe it to you after many good years of entertaining videos!
@MultiTarded I believe the plan is that Dave will pop up on the odd occasion for an end skit or even a full episode.
Omg that intro to the Amiga Outrun had me in stitches! Why is it so intense? And yay, end skit!
The reason why Amiga Outrun has the intense intro is because European devs back in the day were completely and utterly off their faces on synthetic drugs which had to be outlawed.
@@Fattydeposit were still on them 😂
Amiga was just cool like that. They always threw in little tweaks like that...
@@sethman75 This. Nes and consoels were more towards kids and stuff, Amiga and the likes used to have more "professional" easter eggs and tweaks like this. intro to Lotus 3 was similar
Very interesting choice of topic for your first solo episode, Joe. Really technical and very educational.
Great solo outing Joe . Same great research as always . The only thing I was worried about was the final sketch , but I was not disappointed in the least . Hilarious !!!! 10/10 .
hey man, how'd you do that cool ass layer transition?
Yeah. I would actually really like to know how to do that. Hopefully the software isn't Mac exclusive.
looks like its organized by color groupings- pull set color ranges from the images separately and add the parts together to an animation.
could be by using the layer hide/view settings in an emulator also though, and probably much easier that way
@@MordecaiWalfish definitely color groupings! doing it with emulator layers would require recording input then playing it back several times with multiple recording passes, and would be a pain in the ass to key out since it'd all just be on black (and many of these systems only have one sprite and one BG layer)
What is an ass layer?
Dave, you're still alive even with half a sac!
My *former* brother in law lost half of his to cancer. Went on to have 3 kids by my sister and 10? 12? By the people of Wal-mart. He shows that even half a sack works!
You see, the fortunate thing about going solo for you, Joe, is that its plainly obvious to most people that you're the heart and soul of your little internet program. You seem to drop a lot of time and knowledge into making this show, and you've got some natural charisma, so don't be afraid to pull the camera in and make this your own show now. I dunno if I'll drop trough for the MiSTer just yet, but the active development leads me to believe that we might actually get some emulation progress that we haven't had for a long time now. Fingers crossed for Saturn Emulation!
Still feels odd to see an episode without Dave, but glad that you're keeping it going Joe, and the content is still high quality!
Excellent overview of the MiSTer, super thorough and your attention to detail is amazing! In the Amiga game launcher though, you can just hold up to bring up the alphabet and go straight to the letter you want.. :) Running games this way is kinda "non-standard" even on a real Amiga, so a lot of the issues you might have can be representative of the actual experience, it was a PC after all. You can also configure the Amiga to run like a 500 instead of a 1200, and just boot games from floppy images - many games run better this way I find.
K3zster Lol, heck even on the real hardware half the stuff doesn't run or doesn't run right, so I think the MiSTer is doing it justice. But also I would expect A500 with floppy images to be the least problematic as that's how it is in real life as well, as soon as you throw anything else into it like turbo cards, HDD's etc one should expect some wonkyness.
Controllers: if you plug a second (and third, fourth, etc.) controller in MiSTer, the first controller you use in a core is console controller 1, the second you use is controller 2 and so on. IIRC multitap is supported in cores like SNES. Oh, btw, recently Wiimote support was added with Zapper implementation in NES core... pretty neat.
Thanks for reminder. I mean, that'll be sucks if you can't play multiplayer on this thing.
Yes. That'll be very sucks.
Porter Rockwell I don’t understand, maybe I wasn’t very clear with my explanation: MiSTer do support multiplayer.
@@Trimint123 is there any other multi system console that allows you to do that, since you are asking it with so much "taking for granted" attitude?
I look forward to your videos every Sunday. Thank you for giving me something awesome to watch every Sunday morning. Keep up the great work.
Holy sh*t what a great transition on 7:50. It's amazing, for real.
Thanks for keeping it up, Joe. For sure we are all sad with Dave leaving, but you are amazing and we are very happy with the channel continuing. :)
Thanks! :)
Feels bit different but no issues. Actually, I appreciate mentioning Amiga and C64. For European gamers these were bigger than consoles. Keep up good work.
5:51
7:16 - the latency via HDMI is now apparently less than one frame on average.
The display itself of course adds a bit more, and that amount depends on the model / make.
An overclocking option should be quite trivial to add to the core. I think it's been on the (very long) MiSTer todo list for a while. lol
7:23 - I tried fixing that interlaced mode for two-player on the core years ago (before MiSTer was a thing), but didn't quite make it. lol
gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1327&sid=ce45efc1aac6d0d7dd2f7f295a81eb2d&start=45
Luckily, Mr Sorgelig finally fixed that a few months ago.
It should be possible to add an option to the core to force the interlaced mode to output as progressive. (with no tearing or "mouse teeth" at all).
That might prevent the analog RGB / Component output working in that mode, though.
There IS an Atari ST core, btw, but it's just not open-source yet.
(vid description.)
15:27
Yes. ;)
Well, soon-ish. lol
czcams.com/video/jSQcBh1r8wg/video.html
Mr Furrtek is also making progress with CD support for his Neo Geo core. It promises to be one of the most accurate cores, as he spent years reverse-engineering the custom chips from the original machine.
btw, quite a few C64 and Amiga games require the joystick to be on port 2, hence the joyswap option in the OSD.
Plus, a lot of the games for those systems only work properly in PAL mode.
Other Amiga games require the OCS/ECS or AGA mode switch, some need the Kickstart 1.3 ROM or a Degrader, and some have specific RAM requirements. This is not a limitation of the core itself, but was an issue with certain games on the original hardware.
Some Amiga games also require you to hit the mouse button to get past the intro / crack screens etc., which is the same as hitting fire on joyport 2.
Not sure why the MSX games really need to be zipped. It is very slow to unpack them, so the ROM pack could probably do with being tweaked there.
The larger SD cards are quite cheap now, but you can also use USB storage with MiSTer, like a 2.5" HDD.
There is also support for Cloud storage for things like save games, but I haven't tried that yet.
Wow what a strange and versatile device! Complex too geez. I've never even heard of it before. One of the reasons I love your channel is because you always covered so many things I was unaware of like that Panasonic Laseractive! :D
Another outstanding episode, Joe! It's obvious you'll be completely fine on your own! Your editing skills are so good now. And thank you for keeping the outros going - that was funny! But I will miss Dave stealing your Snatchers and clobbering you. (The pic of him on the website was great too.)
Cheers man! Game Sack for lyfe!
Thanks for showing this Joe I have been looking into the Mister recently. Great episode as always.
Minimig is a stand alone fpga board, that explains the name.
Also if the games that flicker on loading a WHDLoad installs and there is no option for preload is normal. It emulates floppy disk loading from the hard disk. This is done on Amigas with low ram.
To be a bit more in-depth, the reason the loading flickers to black is because WHDLoad (which is a program for installing games that originally was only playable from floppy on a hard disk) needs to turn on multi-tasking and the operating system when loading and then switch back to the game. And indeed the games can be preloaded into RAM if there is enough memory available, usually with 8MB RAM or more you never see any black flashes.
Neat review, editing on point as always. I've got the original Mist which runs the ST and Amiga cores really well, that said it can't do the Genesis and Snes or at least not as well. Will probably pick up this updated version , thanks for the links, i'll check them out.
Dude, I love those transitions where you separate the games' graphics layers. I have no idea how hard that is to do, but it looks wonderful. Keep up the good work, Joe!
I'm glad you managed to squeeze in the post-video skit at the end too. I don't think I can look at that version of Outrun the same ever again.
I just got a MiSTer a couple of weeks ago, and once I got past the learning curve, I've been having a blast with it! Great job on this overview.
I love my MiSTer. For me, it's completely replaced software emulation in the role of "fall-back measure" for when you don't currently own a specific console/computer. And to be honest, there's a couple of consoles I do own, that due to things like capacitor health or poor mod-work, actually output less pleasing results than their respective MiSTer core.
EDIT: btw the few C64 games you couldn't get to play are likely ones where you need to swap to controller port 2. There wasn't standardisation back then as to which port to use, so gamers had to swap on a per game basis.
I've got a feeling Joe did all the work.. script.. video editing.. and Dave came in at the last 5 mins to record anyways. ty for the hard work Joe
If you don't watch these videos with subtitles, you're missing out.
(Awesome Mega Man 2 music here)
I never noticed my PAL games were slower than US games until I started emulating games about 10 years later lol.
Yeah, still trips me out today with the music sometimes when you expect the slower tempo.
Same, being in a PAL country, this wasn't something i discovered until some time around 2000 when i discovered MAME. I was like WTF this games NOT how i remember it,speed wise anyway!
You can tweak the video options for HDMI - integer scaling, v sync, video filters - they help get a really sharp image.
What an excellent intro, Joe! It's great to see that smiling mug!
Great show, I’m not only reviewing concepts but also learning new things in pretty much each episode!
Wow, the quality was amazing and even without Dave you made an epic episode.
Glad Game Sack is sticking around.
Joe and his wife have always done most of the production work for the show, I understand. That is not to take anything away from Dave, who is, and always will be, a kickass dude.
To get Akumajou Densetsu to work did you have to take the SD card out and blow on it just like a really NES?
Pretty much! The NES core has a problem where games don't clear all of the previous games state (from what I hear). So a new game might not boot up depending on the game you started last. But you can just reload the core or something and you're fine. Ahh ... open source ... :)
A new Game Sack episode without Dave but I know Dave will be back still gonna show love and support of one of my favorite shows on CZcams.
Joe, thanks for keeping this channel. Excellent video review.
The problem with F-16 Fighting Falcon on the Genesis is that it uses a legacy graphics mode in the Master System's VDP. Basically the Master System VDP is an enhanced version of the same Texas Instruments VDP family that was used in the Coleco Vision and MSX, and the Genesis VDP is a further development of the Master system's VDP. The Genesis VDP retains the Master System specific graphic modes but not the older legacy modes.
Holy moly, that Outrun announcer is creepy 😨
But the episode and content is awesome! Maybe this device is something for me in the future.
Awesome video. I'm really enjoying your episodes about fpga consoles. You have great attention to detail when it comes to pointing out the differences compared to original hardware. It's nice that you include a lot of info about the different settings and ways to get around certain issues with accuracy. I'd be interested to see some future episodes like this about emulators if you have any interest in making them.
Man what a solid episode for your first solo run! Good work Joel
"That's right, Joe."
-Dave White
About time the Mister gets some coverage by some of the big channels on youtube, I bet Smokemonster would be proud.
Wild to see this video 7 months on and check out all the stuff that's been enhanced and fixed. The MiSTer platform is amazing because of all the great devs dedicating their time to it.
You did a fantastic job Joe. Thank you for including an after credits scene as well.
Really informative video and have to say I'm very tempted to look into setting up a Mister for myself.
great review of an incredibly exciting and promising system!
Good review. Interesting product. I was worried that Dave was gonna be replaced by a Sweet potato or a straw hat, but you handled it maturely. Kudos!
I got my MiSTer going on two weeks ago and I love it. These cores have all improved so very much.
Gracias por seguir con este proyecto, hace 4 años que veo sus vídeos y me alegra mucho que está su pasión no se esfume por los problemas que pudieron tener, seguiré aquí viendo este gran contenido. Lamento escribir en español, me da un poco de pereza hacerlo en inglés, al menos esta vez.
I love the way you transition between the scenes by splitting the screen layers... Is that new, cause it's awesome!
OT: You're doing a great job Joe. Keep it up!
good video, keep the emu stuff coming, I'm obsessed with finding the best emulator for the money, particularly handhelds
I've heard about the Mister for a while but always thought it was just another RaspberryPi type setup so I never bothered with it.. until recently. I love my Mister and anyone who loves playing older games (PS1/Saturn and back) will love it too! It is funny going back and watching older videos like this one because now the Mister has advanced so much just in the last couple years. Whats nice too is I ordered my DE10-Nano board straight from Terasic and got it within 3 days! I also ordered a case/IO board that has a Sega Saturn output on it so I can hook up my HD Retrovision component cables straight from my Mister to my CRT tv! So many wonderful features on the Mister its truly a retro gaming enthusiasts dream!
Watching Game Sack tickles my horn. Great job on the first solo vid, Joe! This is a really neat device that I knew nothing about before watching.
Incredible video, Joe!
Yo SM your fans are hungry for another Mister stream!
D-did you just cover me with your sack at the beginning?
Was wondering when you were going to do a video on this. I have thought about digging more into what this device is. So thank you for this video, this was very helpful.
Really love the closed captions explaining the music
I wish I lived nearby you. I so would wanna be your side kick on Game Sack.
Total suport Joe, long live Game Sack !!!👍👍👍
And now you can run a 486 PC on this... This Mister and the people creating all these cores are just amazing.
I think we're getting close to the power limit, but I still expect a 3dfx emulation in the next 2 years and PSX and N64 cores in the next 5 years. We'll see!
Great informative video. I like how Joe is seated to the right and leaves space on the left as if Dave is still there.
Hey Joe, I had the same issue with Game Boy Color games on my MiSTer. Turns out you need a GBC bios to be loaded to be able to load GBC roms. Works perfect now.
It was odd seeing you alone in the studio, but I'm going to stick around for sure! Good episode, but that thing is just to much work for me. The Raspberry is good enough.
Thanks for continuing this awesome show! Really great episode.
I really was not sure how the end skit would go, or if there would even be one. I sure wasn't disappointed! Good job!
