Trying out the MiSTer Plus kit for the MiSTer FPGA

This MiSTer Plus is a full MiSTer setup in a nice compact and sleek case. It provides all the features of a standard MiSTer setup along with some extra ones.
The MiSTer Plus was sent to me by Antonio Villena at no cost and no other compensation was given to create this video.

Great and helpful video to return back to. As it's a tiny box compared to new consolized solutions like the Multisystem from RMC, this would be handy to put next to a computer monitor with a keyboard + mouse to run those computer cores. There's just one problem that's outside of our control, though. The Plus kit and that optional decapod controller hub are currently out of stock, and are probably so for long periods of time in between intermittent stocks.

I did the power jack mod for my IOUSB MINI4 from Antonio Villena. IIRC, the only cut was to the power jack so you can just replace it to reverse the mod… so: Not permanent. :)

Great video, but did you mention what the rgb888 DAC out option does? I can’t seem to find info on that, even on Antonio’s website… is it to be able to output 1080p instead of 720?

For your compact carrying case, I wonder if a zip-up case originally intended for external 2.5 inch hard drives would be suitable. I have one that can take two drives AND their cables, and just might be big enough for the job.

Do these cases have the option for a more opaque lids. I'm not a fan of viable LEDs. It's a great design for a case though best I've seen.

I don't think so. There's no option to change the type of lids.

Seems like the Multi-system has the SCART, - a comparison video would be nice. - I guess the NeoGeo has the best controller? - or playing sonic 3 with a Saturn Pad could be pretty cool. Or the Virtua Stick. - I hope this gets more support

Yeah, with this one SCART and component is used just like the regular IO boards.

Any adapter to use snac and mt32 at the same time?

Unfortunately I dont think it's possible. I read somewhere that the MT32 pi and SNAC use overlapping pins, so it's either one or the other.

well, i order and today just received the kit. the case is now updated slightly (cut-out for sd-card, case extends to cover usb bridge. but what no one has said is that your existing ram is not compatible.... F@#K me, now i'm into more $$ for his ram and more shipping. Not very impressed. Case could do with more cooling too, it runs very hot with little space for the air to escape ...

It says that about the RAM in the store, but maybe it didn't when you ordered it? Also, do you think you could remove the bottom or sides of the case to make it more airy? I'm thinking of buying the mini version of this case and IO board so I guess a similar principle would apply...

@@CHIBItheSPARROW I'd avoid it myself, and go with pork chops store, if I had my time again. the store was updated after I purchased it, in response to my feedback. Didn't remove the need to buy another ram board though .... removing case sides to allow more airflow isn't why I bought a case ..

All this money spent on a supposed couple of frames of lag that I have never seen proved. Probably people using old outdated hardware with bad emulators and laggy displays.

??? For me, it’s about supporting obscure accessories, original controllers, and light guns. Lag isn’t the only reason to want SNAC.

I love any type of emulation. For me the mister meant that I can avoid having a PC only to connect to my CRT (my PCs are ITX and can't have 2 GPUs), I don't have to deal with drivers. The raspberry is a good and cheaper option, and can be an even better choice for specific scenarios, but with the mister I don't have to set run ahead for each game, also run ahead is limited to 6 frames. The mister is too expensive, but it's fantastic. Any other alternative is not bad at all.
