Is the MiSTer a huge waste of money or what?

The DE 10 nano pcb is 199+ in europe. Then another 100 for the neogeo compatible ram. its far too expensive for this shit. But then you have the; just emulate bro/dont be coomlector - retards. And those come for FREE with /vr/.

According to some people, the MiSTer is suppose to be accurate because of FPGA. However I heard it doesn't do 5th gen consoles. But if you own an original console, just buy HDMI converters and a flash cart.

If you can't source the parts or refuse to read the wiki then you deserve to pay the meme price.

Don't know why people try to complain about the MiSTer and then just go to bring up run of the mill best selling consoles. Do you just want to play super mario or some shit or best selling game #342? Just buy your original consoles or whatever, + flashcart.

When I consider buying a MiSTer its for its Amiga, PC Engine, and recent developments in stuff like arcade cores: CPS stuff, CAVE 68k (well for now, just DoDonPachi), Neo Geo, etc. Buying one of these + a way to skip the collector prices on games like a flashcart is almost more expensive than one MiSTer set up. The cheapest way of getting a DECENT Neo Geo set up is buying a MVS, the yellow multicart, and of course a JAMMA adapter and a powering method, which is going to be what, 150 minimum?

Community led FPGA projects are the future of accuracy focused retro gaming. Hell, following this scene has been the most fun thing in a while with how much people have been pushing the envelope (a fun thing is looking at older MiSTer discussions and seeing them talk about how long a Neo Geo core would take, while one year later it exists)

>> No.7332190

>>7332173
Also to add, I don't know if a lot of people on this board realize it but most of the good accessories that come out for actual consoles are fpga based too, like how flashcarts will allow for Sega CD games or PC Engine CD games while only plugging into the cart slot, or recreations of the special SNES chips in the SD2SNES

Apart from convenience, this is the major draw for me.

>>7334804
Next to impossible to go wrong. Analogue make dedicated systems and have their own cores. MiSTer is essentially open source and you have everything on the one system. Also Analogues are made for carts. MiSTer is capable of running carts in theory, but the hardware isn't there yet.

I'd imagine its due to the whole all-in-one + native rgb output. Would actually be pretty great to use a FPGA PCIE for emulating the system so that more resources on the computer could be used for up scaling and filtering the game on your monitor. Would be amazing combo to go with EmuVR and essentially have an FPGA inside a VR environment with the best CRT filters. Hell there would be a lot more cool stuff you could do if FPGA cards were standard on desktop, but I don't think many people want to bite the bullet to pay for another 1000$ for one.
