Dynamic duo--makes me feels good listening/watching, and I laugh at all the jokes.

Each and every one of your episodes makes me genuinely happy! Such a nice, positive mental health refresher!

I was actually hoping that you did a review of the MiSTer. I got mine about a year ago and I think it's an amazing toy. Wait until you start up a 486SX, or hook up a real C64 disk drive to it! (with the proper adaptor cable) Since it's replicated hardware. you can connect it to original peripherals, which you typically can't do with a software emulator. As another enthousiast, here's what I think you should do or look at: 1. Connect it to the network and run the update_all script (I had to manually add it on mine, maybe it comes pre-installed now). 2. Start collecting disk and cartridge images for the different computers and consoles. 3. If you have a NAS, get the cifs_mount script and configure it. You can then easily drop the image files in a shared folder right from your PC. 4. Play with the display options to get the perfect retro (CRT) look. It makes a big difference. Modern screens are just too perfect. I also find that older games play better with a proper joystick instead of a controller. Another interesting thing to know is that you can get an arcade cabinet compatible adapter for the MiSTer (It's called a Jamma board or something like that). This allows you to run any available arcade game in a "blank" cabinet. You would need only one, which would solve the space problem you mentionned in the video.

Ok I admit I LOLed at the “out here in the field” singing. “The Who” would be so happy!

Taylor, your new haircut looks great. As for the MiSTer, what an amazing gift. The prices have gone through the roof on them. Sadly I missed out getting a MiSTer when the prices were much better. I do now own a Color Computer 3 so there's that 🙂

I dropped that off to you guys for Scott. You guys are having more success than I did in the first 20 minutes. 👍🏼

Now you gotta get a flat panel display that rotates 90 degrees so the vertical arcade games look best!

The MISTer system strikes me as a shapeshifter (pop-culture sci-fi reference goes here), capable of replicating any CPU/mainboard that's hit the mass market in the last half-century.

You have a pepper shaker you can shoot at the sausages to stun them to escape on the Burger Time game. I think you get like three shots per level.

That probably was the most interesting fan mail you've gotten to date

This was the most interesting and wholesome thing I've seen all year!

Taylor ... LOVE the new cut!! Also Amy was doing all the things, I saw her!!! Burger Time is such a fun game, one of the few that I could play over and over!! Well done Amy!!

Welcome back! And nice haircuts on both of you!

I think the new haircut brought out some extra sass. Also glad to see you have your hands on the MiSter it's really a great way to play retro games.

Taylor your hair looks SO DAMN GOOD!!!! Congrats on taking the plunge!!!

Great video! Never a paucity of entertainment here!

Taylor's hair looks great! MiSTer is awesome, glad you were able to get one. It is kind of cooler to have the actual hardware but MiSTer definitely has its place.

Amy ist der Burgermeister!

Hair is awesome!

You look great, but so do both of you! Amy's nails rock as well, why can't I never do such on my videos ;)

Love the new 'do! I have heard lots of good stories about the MiSTer from people on the Amigos Discord, as well as some people who have used the free Coco 1/2 core. There is a free Coco 3 core that is still a Work in Progress, and Roger Taylor (who also did the Matchbox Coco, and lot of utilities and games in the 1990's and 2000's) has a Patreon supported Coco 3 core that is much more robust. It's cool that the MiSTer is a "jack of all trades" mimicking many different machines in hardware, like MAME does in software. You can use it to "practice" learning all the machines on your shopping list before you get the actual hardware... lol.

I am a huge fan of your channel. I am also a huge fan of MiSTer FPGA. So, I am absolutely thrilled to see you ladies getting in to it. (I also love Burger Time, so that's a nice bonus) I know that MiSTer can replicate most (if not all) of the retro computers you have featured on your channel. But, I have done almost nothing with that side of it so I can't speak to how well MiSTer does with those. However, I spend quite a bit of time playing retro consoles. In my opinion, MiSTer exponentially blows away emulation. And, in many cases, even the original hardware. The lag is nearly non-existent, and it adds features that retro tech didn't offer, like save states and recently 480p for the Playstation. You asked an enthusiast where you should start. Having a USB keyboard on hand would be helpful, at least at the beginning. The dev community is quite active so I'd recommend updating no less than once a week. When you're in the menu, hit the menu button again, go to "scripts", and hopefully friend of the channel Scott put the "update all" script on there. Then, whenever you get a controller, you should map it. Bring up the menu in each core, drill for the remap button option, then put the choices (like insert coin :) ) where you're comfortable. I can talk MiSTer all day. Feel free to hit me up with more questions.

....hair cut looks great ... a little mouse and you're ready for the cat walk baby.... work it.....

This was very fun to watch! Love seeing folks' reaction to MiSTer FPGA for the first time.

That is a great gift to receive. :D You two will love that thing :) Great video as always ladies :D I have been looking to get one myself that is all assembled and ready to go for CoCo use. Just not sure where to even start looking for a fully assembled unit that is reasonable.

Great Toy looks like it emulate many systems

As always, a heap of laughs. Have a DE-10 Nano with the MiSTer RAM myself… a lovely bit of kit to re-live my early computers (well, the VIC=20, the Plus/4 and the Amiga, at least - not sure the MK14 is practical without a calculator display 😊) … favourite VIC=20 game: Jet Pac, favourite Plus/4 game: Jack Attack

Holy cats Scott, so generous!

MiSTer is an amazing system with all the retro systems it can simulate (not emulate)

Awesoeme

like the new hair do

It is like Christmas is not it. I love working tech!

Buy a mister... send daughter to college. Can have one or the other, not both! tough choices these days.

I still have a tough time grasping the concept of an FPGA emulating a videogame, as opposed to an RPi with emulation SW on it. Is it emulating at component level (like a PLC or something)? I love yal's videos BTW!

I'm so jealous. De-10 nanos are so hard to get a hold of these days
