Best investment in retro tech i ve ever made. Worth every cent.

Does it come with games?

Deuce 🛋🦍🩲

@@omgitsmario7 if I remember correctly it comes with a small number of public domain arcade games and Flappy Bird. If you're asking whether it comes pre-loaded with console game ROMs, no. That'd be illegal.

Can it play PS2 and Xbox Original games yet?

It's a spectacular device. I game on original hardware, software emulation on PC, and my MiSTer these days, and they're all great options. That being said the MiSTer gets the most use for 5th gen consoles and before :)

Thanks!

I'm considering it but parts availability seems rough. Even if I pre order a DE 10 Nano finding all the addons myself seems like a pain with so much currently out of stock.

@@PurpleRupees I had to wait about 3 months for de10 to get in stock (i got it straight from tesseric) and it took about 1.5 months to get all the other supplies. bottom line is that the sooner you start the sooner you can enjoy the mister. I love mine.

@@PurpleRupees bro I just checked misteraddons and I didn’t know they sold out, I bought mine maybe 2 months ago. This is definitely worth the money though… I’m using my girlfriends commodore 1702 and have the MiSTer hooked to both the 1702 through VGA and to my EVGA XR1 Pro capture card through HDMI which is hooked to my PC for streaming. I have to say when you get a chance to buy a MiSTer it’s 100% worth it! I use the Arcade/PSX cores the most and have a huge collection on a 258GB SD card, I’m thinking about getting a bigger one since I just got the Saturn beta core.

You just shattered my dreams

Yeah n64 is way to complex for the de10 nano.

RIP, N64 belongs in that era of consoles. Tragic.

@@VKsChannel it’s too complex. PlayStation can work because it’s powerful, but not complex, Saturn is not that powerful, but is complex. N64 is both. I think that’s the very basics as to why N64 won’t be on the MiSTer, but correct me if I’m wrong.

N64 would be the cherry on the cake for me. That's such a blow. Damn

How did that happen? 😮

@@39zack i guess it was an unstable power supply. it smoked components near the DC in

@@COMATRON. 😟

Saturn core is still being developed but it is working. :)

Ps1 core and Saturn core are the most the fpga chip can do.

what do you mean "speedup" for more than GBA? Are you talking about fast forward?

I tried this later, and the mister is still faster

Yeah try the MiSTer. To have an accurate experience. Not the "thats the best it can run" experience.

There is a fundamental difference between emulation and simulation. No matter how many bells and whistles retroarch adds, the games will never feel like they did on real hardware, because software is not hardware.

@@silverywingsagain no

@@ninetendopesaitama2107 Accuracy is not exclusive to MiSTer or FPGA Emulation in general.

The sega saturn core looks also very promising

From what experienced MVS players told me, this is a flawless replica of the original hardware. I don't personally know anyone that has/had an AES to compare. But considering how this core was developed, taking die shots from original chips and reverse engineering the entire integrated circuits, it's probably one of the most accurate cores out there, if not the most. You might have some issues with some ROM dumps not loading, depending on the format they're in. But if you use the proper conversion tool or load the right memory way in the romset.xml, it will load just fine. There are sample XML files for romsets you can buy on places like Good Old Games also.

@@gcolombelli I have a japanese AES and in my experience, an AES is just a little bit brighter through RGB Scart compared to MiSTer (VGA to Component), but this is the only thing I can say. The image is the same, the response time and mostly the sound. Sometimes I forget that I'm playing on MiSTer and not on the consoles (and more if I'm playing on the CRT). I remember one day that I was playing Big Tournament Golf and I say "there is more sound effects on the console", then I checked on the MiSTer core that I have Stereo Sound off, that's why I say that by the only difference seeing is with the brightness, just a little bit more bright. For anything else, is the same. If you have plans on getting one, go for it. Believe me that you will not regret it!! Is a gift from heaven!!

​@@randyrosalesbrown5656 I already got it and I have no regrets, feels like this thing was sent from heaven, I've always wanted to learn about digital circuit design but always found FPGA dev kits way too expensive, then comes the DE10-Nano and the MiSTer Project and not only this is affordable to me, but I just found a nice free core dev video series here on youtube (search mister retro wolf if you're interested). It being a very nice retro video game system is a huge bonus too. 😁

Still there are some features of the mister that you couldn't use on a Pi setup, like all of those filters, the snac adaptors, and using the wii remote as a lightgun

@@VKsChannel using a wiimote as a light gun is a crazy feature!

just plug it in the charging slot and plug it in your PC it will charge and work as a controller at the same time

@@VKsChannel Doesn't work for me :( Maybe it's a difference between the "x" model and the "f"?

I wish I had the Polymega to test I usually play at 1080p with the configurations to have the least amount of latency

I don't know that there is a lot of data available for the Polymega as far as input latency goes. I've heard it's good for being software emulation though. Mister is extremely low though- in certain conditions you can get it identical to original hardware. When connected to an HDTV and using USB controllers the only input delay will come from your display and controller.

it depends, on the TV brand and cable quality nothing will beat the latency of a CRT, modern TVs will always have some input lag to them

@@VKsChannel On average, seems like modern QD-OLED & LED TV's have around 10ms of lag at 60fps. For me, that's already enough latency, combined with a low latency controller. MiSTer seems better suited for CRT for lag-sticklers, where as FPGA consoles like the AVS, Super Nt, Mega SG & Duo should get the job done with modern displays since they are lag free over HDMI. Still no perfect solution! :P

I only wish it had support for 4 players to play kirby amazing mirror and 4 swords

@@VKsChannel i think there is a zelda game too that supports 4 players ? i forgot

@@MadaoAU yeah that's zelda 4 swords

@@VKsChannel Theoretically, it should work, but It’ll be dual RAM because looking at the description on the GBA2P page, anything below 32 megabytes only needs a 32 megabyte SDRAM module, while a 32 megabyte game requires more.

It only have save states in a few cores, and only through the menu

@@VKsChannel NES, GameBoy and GBA have keyboard shortcuts and gamepad mappings for save states. PSX has save states through OSD only right now, but the developer, Robert Peip aka fpgazumspass, has been putting out updates several times a week so that might change. MiSTer does have cheat support for most (all?) console cores though.

I have to try those out later

it's the wii sensor bar, my wii is turned on outside of the camera

I'm curious what consoles are you looking to play that you'd need a Raspberry Pi for?

@@dinierto What do you mean? The RPi (at least 3B+ and 4) can play pretty much everything from Atari 2600 and older computer systems up to Dreamcast and PSP pretty much without an issue. Even N64 and Saturn play pretty well on my RPi 4 when it's OC'd. The Mister can't and won't be able to play N64 and Dreamcast among other systems so if I bought one I would still need to keep my RPi around.

@@kennethd4958 yeah N64, PSP and DC are a no go, but Saturn will run better on MiSTer once the core is complete than on a Pi. But honestly I'd go with a PC for those systems over a Pi so you get a much better experience. I just like that the MiSTer takes 4 seconds to boot and has no drama, just pick up and play with crazy low input lag

@@dinierto I have a PC and I do use it more than my RPi honestly... even for 16 bit emulation I'll use bsnes and BlastEM on my PC for more accuracy. But when I have people over I'll use my RPi on my living room TV or if I don't feel like sitting in front of my PC. I do plan on getting a Mister and if I didn't already have OG consoles and a PC I would have probably bought one long ago.. one thing I'm worried about now though is I'll spend the $400 plus to get the Mister and an updated DE10 board will be released soon after lol

@@kennethd4958 nah nobody in the scene expects anything like that in the near future at least 😊 I play around with all the different emulation solutions, there's no wrong way so long as you're having fun. MiSTer and PC get the most use from me these days

@@Richbroth 1440p

estou só esperando o core de Sega Saturn pra jogar nights perfeitamente

Já que mencionou a porta debug, acho interessante falar da porta console também. É uma porta serial, pode conectar num computador que vai imediatamente reconhecer, mesmo com o MiSTer desligado. Ao ligar ele, dá para acessar o bootloader do HPS, bem como ver mensagens de boot do Linux, além de poder logar nele mesmo que esteja com problema de rede ou sem saída de vídeo. É útil para depurar problemas de configuração que estejam afetando a saída de vídeo, sem ter que sacar o cartão SD e sair modificando arquivos. Até pois com essa case aí do vídeo é um porre tirar o cartão SD. O bootloader do HPS é similar ao de outros dispositivos ARM como celulares android e tvbox.

I would agree but after playing on the real hardware on a CRT I can say that the experience is different input lag takes away a lot of the responsiveness of the games and that affects the gameplay

Nope

@@VKsChannel That's been taken care of by Run-Ahead, Frame Delay and Game Mode now. Input lag is good enough for me to enjoy and beat Ninja Gaiden II, Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting and more without feeling as if it's something other than my skill that's holding me back. It's amazing how well the brain can compensate and adjust for input lag once it's consistent as well.

@@ninetendopesaitama2107 …in the exact same way any hardware clone is. It’s still a hardware clone. No one goes out of their way to refer to NES-On-A-Chip (NOAC) clones as “emulation,” so why are people bending over backwards to do that for FPGA? Some genuinely don’t know that FPGA is hardware cloning, some have a chip on their shoulder because they think the distinction is an insult to software emulation, and others because they are annoyed at marketing attempts to distinguish FPGA as “perfect.” Personally, I think “hardware clone” tells people all they need to know, since clones are not guaranteed to be a 100% accurate replication but they have to be accurate enough to run general code natively, without translation/interpretation from a software emulator. Just calling a spade and spade.

None of the cores are official

@@VKsChannel shame..

Probably youtube's algorithm filtered your comment, I will stop using this feature and personally moderate the comments section, feel free to repost your comment, the algorithm is deactivated in this video!

@@VKsChannel Thanks. RetroScaler’s name comes from the RetroScaler 2X, which was a shameless clone of Mike Chi’s RetroTink 2X. While it had a different layout it presumably stole Mike Chi’s microcontroller code. I never saw confirmation of this but it seems likely since it operates exactly the same, which probably wouldn’t be the case if he had created it from the ground up according to the component data sheets. RetroScaler is also known as “BitFunx.” He is notorious for taking open source projects and selling them without giving back. Indeed, he has shamelessly copied materials from other vendors of the same products while trying to fob support for his products onto them, such as when he made his own Open Source Scan Converter. Though it was an open source project he included a copy of VideogamePerfection’s manual complete with their support links and OSSC logo (NOT part of the open source project). He even copied their remote control overlay and included that, which was VGP’s original product. He agreed to remove the logos and manual after all this was pointed out, so I could forgive him if that was all there was… but it wasn’t. He’s also wrongly criticized for cloning the DCHDMI/DCDigital, but that was an open source project too. The creators were disappointed that he didn’t give anything back to the project but he wasn’t technically doing anything wrong there. Still, it frustrated the creators enough that they started commercializing their future products without open sourcing them, like PS1Digital and now everything done as PixelFX. …but BitFunx was still misbehaving. He stole the GCLoader name and design for a SD2SPI device that loads games from SD card when combined with any another method for running homebrew on the GameCube. The real deal GCLoader is an ODE (Optical Drive Emulator) that can load games without any other mods. The kicker here is that you don’t need any physical modification of the GameCube to run an SD2SPI device since there are external adapters, so he copied the name and internal installation method purely to convince people it was something it wasn’t. It isn’t a real ODE. Another issue is with his products based on Ingo Korb’s open source GCVideo. He has removed Ingo Korb’s credit despite this being required in the open source license. It is a common misconception in China that the legal issue with copying a product is purely from misrepresenting it as someone else’s product, so they remove logos and names even where they shouldn’t. Clearly doesn’t apply to open source projects like this. The copyright on RetroBit’s GCVideo-based products has had Ingo Korb’s name removed and if you take it apart you will see “BF” on the connector that BitFunx had produced for these. They do sell the connector for other GCVideo builds, which is kinda cool since no one else makes metallic GameCube digital port plugs. It may not be “giving back” in the way people expect but I appreciate it. For BitFunx’s digital to analog audio used in their component cables, I’d like to see that given back to the open source GCVideo project. Instead, BitFunx reportedly made the entire GC component cable for RetroBit, scrubbed Ingo’s name from it, and then got the audio backwards. Ugh! Of course, MiSTer and most of the boards are open source so he makes those too, but his earlier boards had several issues including everything from missing components/headers, backwards LEDs, and more. His older MiSTer boards are still flooding certain markets and should be avoided. Saying which markets could be what triggered the algorithm last time. You are probably safest if you buy directly from him, but many refuse to due to his reputation. He really doesn’t know where the line is drawn on commercializing other people’s work. His so called “value MiSTer” that you mention is just the base DE10 Nano from Terasic/Intel with Alexey’s MiSTer RAM module… neither of which are his designs. You can buy those from numerous other places so I wouldn’t present your 3D printed case as a companion to his specific bundle. Anyone can take an open source project to DIY and make a few extras to sell, and he definitely helps increase supply of things like OSSC and DCDigital… so I often give him the benefit of the doubt when everyone starts to dogpile him for “cloning.” Still, he keeps doing more and more egregious things to make enemies of the most gracious engineers in the retro gaming community. He’s made the PixelFX guys openly regret releasing their previous designs as open source. I still believe he is helping with the supply issue for many things but it’s clear he’s working off the community instead of working with them. I see he recently sponsored DarthCloud’s BlueRetro GitHub since he plans to sell a product based on it, but what the community really wants to see is designs given back in return and proper attribution while respecting a creator’s IP (RetroTink 2X wasn’t open source in any way). I’m not sure but he may also be behind PSIO and GDEmu clones, and neither of those were open source either.

@@emmettturner9452 Hmm interesting, I did receive some Bitfunx manuals with it but I thought it was weird since I had contacted Bitfunx store before and they refused to make a collaboration video about the mister, when you say about his mister boards you mean the I/O Board, the USB Hub, and the Real Time Clock Boards ? because the de10 nano is from terasic right ? and actually, the idea of selling a "budget Mister" was suggested by me as it would attract more people interested on getting a mister and as a seller, he was very polite and replied to all my emails and messages, so I have no complaints about him.

@@VKsChannel Yes. Terasic makes the DE10 Nano, but you still need the RAM module for most cores. It’s his I/O board that appears to have had the most problems. It wasn’t an issue with the original design, it was just quality control issues like backwards components and cost-cutting issues like leaving our unused connectors that ended up getting used in the future. The current 64MB RAM module is designed by Alexey Melnikov, which is why his name is in the silk screen… unless RetroScaler/BitFunx removed it. You can literally buy the DE10 Nano directly from Terasic or any number of other places (Mouser, Digikey, etc) when they have stock. Since Alexey Melnikov released the RAM module design for anyone to make, you can get that from numerous places too… or order the PCB from any board fabricator and assemble it yourself (very easy).

@@emmettturner9452 Interesting thanks for the info!

It woulf if a neo geo alone didn't cost $500, not to mention the price of a ossc

No, original hardware is not always the best way to play. I have every mainstream consoles from the 90s to now and I never bother to play the older consoles even though I want to but it is a big hassle to get them working correctly (not to mention the tv you play on is also important to these old games). Even when you manage to get it working, it is just so clumsy with wires and stuff. I have owned a Mister more than a year ago and only just got to try it now and got it set up. I am definitely selling most of my older consoles and Analogue consoles which are already FPGA but Mister does it good enough or better that I won't need those other ones.

Whats the compromise of a mister?

You can plug a mister into a CRT there's no compromise...

Those consoles are a hassle to set up and keep around. I never play them. It's just too bothersome.

The anbernic handhelds are next!

There is a portable MiSTer in the works.

Mister shaders actually come really close to the shaders present in Retroarch, only losing to crt royale which is a very demanding filter and won't run on smartphones or emulation devices

@@VKsChannel really? Those are honestly amazing news, I do love the concept of the mister, and this is one understated front I really want it to be a strong performant Ideally, we’d have the mister capable of mixing 3 or more shaders at the same time. In all honestly, I’m _personally_ not a huge fan of crt royale because the 15 inch Mitsubishi CRT I used to play games back in the day displayed a kind of bright, clear and naturally anti-aliased picture that subjectively is very different from crt royale. Thus far, a mixture of scalefx + madapt does mimic the picture I saw the best, and I’m eager for the day the mister (or its hardware revision) can pull something so demanding off: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKdooKakyLDOc6c.html

@@gorofujita5767 yeah check 27:52 you can even make your own shadow mask and apply it to the picture

@@VKsChannel Are you really sure about this? I'm not so sure about the accuracy of this statement. Sony Megatron Color Video Monitor, The Guest Advanced 100% mask strength thread and The Guest-Advanced NTSC thread over at Libretro Forums are CRT Shader Projects that are focused on Accuracy. Perhaps a comparison is in order? Also, the real-time reflections that are produced by HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader really add to the authenticity of the experience that non CRT users are able to enjoy even without a CRT.

Upscaled even 👍

the mister is for retrogames though, its a different approach... you won't get the same latency level of the mister on a mini PC, nor you'll be able to reproduce old computers with the same accuracy

Pcsx2 has lot of graphics options to make games look amazing but in terms of playability, it's trash. There is a second long input delay which is a huge problem. Games that require quick inputs are pretty much unplayable on it. In that regard, the best way to play PS2 is still the original hardware on a CRT (0 latency,)

N64 is now possible along with sega saturn, i have a video showing the new cores Ps2 is not and probably wont be jn fpga for a long time

Yes there is some part of the experience that you'll only have on the real hardware but I can definetly say thay if I put you in a closed cabinet with only a CRT in front of you and give you 2 snes controllers one hooked up to a mister using a SNAC adapter and other to a real snes you wouldn't know the difference

I grew up with an NES and you can't convince me having 10+ consoles plugged in simultaneously and not being able to play ROM hacks without expensive flash carts that have all your games loaded on an SD card anyways is worth the "vintage gaming experience" seal of approval. There's also no room in my house for a dozen arcade cabs. Preserving history is important but so is making past works accessible. Can't tell you how often I see KZfaq comments saying "wish Nintendo would put this game on Switch Online", even though Switch Online emulation sucks.

@@VKsChannel I'd notice it wasn't the real hardware immediately. As soon as I walk over to my shelf to get the physical game and it isn't there. Your comment perfectly demonstrates why you don't understand the point I'm trying to make. It's all part of the experience: using the actual carts, flicking through the game manual. The tactile experience of using the real hardware. I have a problem with FPGA in that it is very expensive and being sold under the lie that it offers a more accurate experience than traditional emulation, when the actual difference between it and a cheap pi are so nominal that you would never notice in real life. People can play their vintage games any way they want to (I personally use my Steam Deck as it has the convenience of being both docked and handheld), but the way this very expensive item is being sold to people is something I take issue with.

@@gareth19771 It is expensive indeed but as I said it's better to buy a mister than to spend thousands on a physical collection, and I'll have to say physical games won't last forever, I already have some discs suffering with disc rot and consoles won't last too, all my disc-based games have dead lasers, the cost of maintenance of these systems would justify a mister purchase

@@VKsChannel Your logic is like: hey throw out those vinyl records. Here is a flash drive with FLAC files. They are way better than those mp3s

It wouldn't make a difference on the retroarch version, and the standalone version of bsnes was the most updated and it was still slower than the mister And no matter how fast your computer is it will have a high latency because of the OS, mister emulates the hardware which is much more closer than emulating through software it is indeed emulation but the result is much closer to the real deal than any software emulation, I like to compare the mister to a juicer and emulators as powdered juice both taste similar but the juice from the juicer while not being the same thing as eating the fruit itself tastes very close to the real deal its still the physical juice of the fruit just obtained in a different way, the mister has the same electrical behavior inside as the original hardware its just not the same chips

Each individual game, not console, needs a different run ahead setting to run properly. Most people just set it at 1-2 frames globally, which is wrong. Also, you need a beefy computer to run the more accurate emulators without issue. If you wanna hook it up to crt, you gotta fiddle with drivers. You’re right, you can get an equivalent experience with emulation, it’s just that it’s a pita for a lot of people. With a MiSTer set up, you just run the script and drop roms on it. You can fiddle with the settings if you like tinkering, but all the games will run, sound, and look great without any tweaking.

@@VKsChannel Your analogy sounds nice but you still didn't use Frame Delay in your testing. Try again using up to date software as they're always working to improve these things. A PC doesn't have to have High Latency in general or High Latency due to the OS. While it may be possible for it to have relatively higher latency than the FPGA, that isn't absolute. That Latency can vary with how much processing power is available. With Run-Ahead and Frame Delay optimally configured, it has been tested and proven that it can match the input latency of actual hardware or even surpass it. You can't get any better or more accurate than that. If MiSTer emulation is accurate it would match the accuracy of the real systems. If this can already be surpassed or matched by software emulation using the aforementioned techniques then what are you trying to prove again? Maybe a good comparison could be comparing both to actual hardware. What I would say though and you probably should leave things at this too, is that MiSTer and other good FPGA emulators give you very precise latency that is true to the original consoles or at least potentially extremely close out of the box - i.e. with no additional setup necessary. This is the real advantage because just as your testing has shown, because it doesn't agree with other similar tests of the same thing, setting up Frame Delay and Run-Ahead is an added step and can lead to varying results on different hardware setups and depending on how the features are setup. That is a huge win for FPGA emulation. If RetroArch comes with a switch or a setting called match actual hardware input latency and it works well no matter what hardware it is running on then I'd say that advantage is negated. Do remember that MiSTer cores have to be programmed correctly in order to be accurate. That programming can be incomplete or have bugs. The development has had a great headstart though given that all the hard work in terms of hardware research and documentation has already been done to create these wonderful software emulators that have been around for decades in some instances. It's probably easier to get an accurate experience using a MiSTer because the general focus of the project is on accuracy. Hacks, enhancements and workarounds can also be programmed into a MiSTer core if the developers wanted to do so. With software emulation, there is a lot of choice and variability in terms of accuracy of emulators available. This is in most cases for good reason though as some of those emulators started development at a time when hardware resources as well as documentation were not as available and even the programming techniques and approaches would have evolved considerably over the years. Then there's that little thing called CRT Shaders/Filters, while FPGA devices have just started to include some basic or slightly above basic CRT Shaders/Filters, what's available to RetroArch and Reshade users is at the absolute pinnacle of quality and advancement in this area of emulation. Not all users have access to a CRT so they have to rely on whatever non-CRT technology is available to them to actually see their games. Having the best CRT shaders/filters available forms an important and integral part of the overall immersion and experience of enjoying the old games that we love so dearly. Have you seen HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader, CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack or Sony Megatron Color Video Monitor in action? Those things emulate CRTs down to the RGB triad level and also emulate differences between the video output chips and characteristics of different consoles as well. These are fine details and nuances that only the most discerning of retrogaming aficionados would be able to appreciate though. Is MiSTer CRT emulation as accurate as that?

@@CyberLabStudio “the most discerning of retrogaming aficionados” will be using real hardware on a CRT. Simple as that.

@@Inv8erZlM You can't judge someone's love or enthusiasm for something especially this subject just by the hardware they use, even if it were universally available for free to any and everyone.
