Also a heads up for everyone looking to buy/make one. Don't buy from a scalper unless you absolutely need one now. The DE-10 Nano is always being made and coming back in stock. Patience will save you a ton of money

@mylifeingaming 2 года назад

[Try4ce] I bought a second DE-10 Nano directly from Terasic just a few weeks ago. They ship fast, but it was $40 shipping. But given that the cost of everything is going up these days, I'm not so sure you'd save money waiting to buy it from somewhere else.

@sneakingelephant 2 года назад

@@mylifeingaming I was referring more to the eBay resellers. I've seen them jack up prices quite a bit. Buying directly from Terasic is definitely the way to go.

@agentmith 2 года назад

Wherever demand outpaces supply, you get scalpers. Videos like this are awesome, but exacerbate the issue by increasing awareness. Plus the chip shortage isn’t helping, too.

@sneakingelephant 2 года назад

@@agentmith for sure. MLIG will definitely bring more eyes on the product but I still think the supply issues won't be a huge problem in the long run. There's been plenty of opportunities to buy them during quarantine at fair prices and I think it'll continue that way. It's definitely not a product like the analogue pocket

@remy333 2 года назад

I bought one direct too. Got it much faster than the site said. They shipped same day even though the de10 said back ordered until mid April. Yes the $40 international shipping was hefty, and a bit of a bummer since they shipped it from here in the states… but I got my mister pretty much in 3 days. Also, the folks that offer the Ultimate Mister Kit are great. 👍

@fredtaylor9792 Год назад

I'm in the EXACT same boat. At times, my atari, nes and genesis were the only friends I had but my games and systems were lost during moves or sold behind my back for my mom and sister's addictions. I watch in awe at all these RU-vidrs who got to keep all their games and systems from their childhood and can't help but wish I had too but emulation gives me that door to my childhood memories. Memories I completely forgot come flooding back when playing certain games.

@theparkourhobo 2 года назад

To do a video _this long_ with such a high level of polish throughout must be an _insane_ amount of work. And they do that all the time - for a channel with 200k subscribers. There are channels with sub counts in the millions that don't put in that much work. It's genuinely really, really impressive.

@@masayoshsato7906 in the U.S.? MisterAddons is a good place. There are more that are UK-based. I don't know of any other US-based places but there might be a couple more. Just don't buy overpriced ones on eBay from scalpers/resellers just because its out of stock. Have a little patience.

@Chariblaze Год назад

1:32:20 This single NES audio comparison is what I love about watching MLiG! Perfect snippet to compare -- familiar song, and a part that lends itself well to looping. The timing of the changes is so right, it's as if it was a real nine second repetitive NES loop heh. And the attention to detail of using the four characters for the four samples.. 👍

@fr.joshmayer3593 2 года назад

Funny experience I had with MiSTer (as a someone who is fairly non-technically inclined) is that I had tried rpi before and couldn’t get my head around how to utilize it well… all these different images available etc, I never really got it going. But when I grabbed my first MiSTer a couple years ago it clicked right away. I’ve found it really straightforward to use and the community has been so awesome with any questions or issues I ran up against.

@GabrielLaFlex 2 года назад

I bought a mister last year and it changed my life in so many ways. I honestly didn't even understand what a CRT television did but I bought the full mister kit with analog board just the same. Realizing I had paid extra for the mister with analog output inspired me to actually get a CRT tv to "try it out," and now I'm all the way down the rabbit hole. Fast forward to today and I now own a 27" JVC D Series CRT television, rotatable LCD screens for tate games, and even a home built arcade cabinet to plug the mister into. I have retired my PSP dock and PSP TV now thanks to the core updates. I have even gotten into collecting classic controllers such as the SNES mouse, light guns, a negGcon, and more. This has been an adventure and it's still going. I could keep telling stories for pages and new stories are still being made.

@mylifeingaming 2 года назад

[Try4ce] Yes Coury originally planned to do it this way, but then I guess we forgot, then that concept came back up after the script was mostly written and we realized it would be an hour before we started talking about playing any danged games haha.

@StarshipGhost 2 года назад

Yeah same here.... like the audio filters which I never tried. Very useful for arcade situations to get a cabinet sound, which always bothered me with arcade emulation and the high tingy pitches. I always wondered why it did not sound right in MAME, etc. Now I know it was just low quality speakers/audio and inside a wooden cabinet that made it sound.... better I guess.

@tilla77 2 года назад

I own most retro consoles but I love the mister and its versatility. Just the amount it does in such a small footprint along with having the ability to scale when using a monitor that supports 480p is awesome. Built some controller boards for old joysticks and pads for minimal lag and the experience is no different from the real thing and in many cases the pixel clarity, through RGB, looks better to me. The fact too that it has such a large dev community makes it incredibly exciting as new implementations come out. I'd say its my device of the decade.

@RedWolfy7 2 года назад

This is the one that's going to cement your legacy as great game preservationists for years to come. You can really tell that this video was a sincere labor of love not only because of its mammoth length but because the nerdy glee that radiates from your presentation of the systems nuance and cores is very infectious. I'm proud of you two and also proud to support you guys. Great job!

@CliffWheeler 2 года назад

Just as an FYI for everyone, when you’re in the video processing and audio processing menus, you can use the L and R trigger buttons to quickly switch between the options one at a time without opening the menus. Just highlight the menu options (example “GS_Sharpness_050.txt”) and press the triggers to quick switch to the next / previous options Just a nice quality of life option when you wanna make quick changes

@BrunoFonsecaPT 2 года назад

Two notes: First the ZX Spectrum did not have different processor speeds. That’s a novelty on the FPGA implementation mainly used to accelerate 3D games. Second, the stereo separation on the Amiga can already be “fixed” on the audio menu by enabling stereo mixing at 25% or 50%. Otherwise what an absolutely amazing video (as always). Cheers

That multiplayer GBA function looks so cool. I think it would be sick if you could hook up two MiSTers using a crossover cable and do 4-player link action, or plug in a GBA link port to the MiSTer and interface with real GBAs.

@hb-robo 2 года назад

lots of people in the community have been clamoring for a portable form factor for this reason exactly. It's tricky, because obviously someone has to make this stuff, and the consumer has to buy it, usually not for cheap. this specific use case is probably one where Analogue has the leg up on MiSTer (with their Pocket line)

Thank you for mentioning something about sound. While everyone just lets 48kHz ride, people either forget or are too young to know that the majority of consumer Arcade and TV speakers were straight garbage. More fidelity does not equal better in this case. Actually, the longer waveforms in lower frequency sounds produced by low quality drivers were perfect for noisy environments since they have the power to resonate through the noise (think about bass in music). Back when emulation was new, I started to set NES game audio to mono, 8-bit (22 kHz) and older arcade games to mono, 4-bit (11 kHz) and they’d sound perfect on regular headphones. 1:29:47 I see what you did there.

Really appreciate how you've clearly broken down not just the steps of how to prepare and customize the MiSTer, but how you wisely interspersed in-game video and sound between the more technical jargon pieces. It really helped the video remain engaging in what easily could easily have been confusing due to all the features and capabilities of the cores, audio/video tweaks, etc. Bravo, MLIG!

@ibraibraibraibraibra 2 года назад

Forced scandoubler on a VGA CRT monitor is a great option, thanks for highlighting it. I use a little scanline generator dongle and it gives really great results. If you ever do a follow up video to this it might be good to flag up the physical jumpers on the analog IO board, these are important if you are using an RGB scart cable on a consumer set or a scaler or other device that behaves like a consumer set. This is how the relevant lines are set on the scart cable to identify the signal as RGB. This is most relevant to users in Europe and similar areas who have access to RGB scart consumer sets so it’s completely understandable that it won’t have come up in your exposure to this stuff so far. I can’t say I’ve used it but to my understanding SNAC typically only supports 1 controller when used with the console cores, so that is one catch that people might need to bear in mind. A good USB controller with decent levels of lag according to the misteraddons test document is generally a much better option where possible for vast majority of users given all the caveats that come up with SNAC. Great video as always. Thanks!

Only seen certain chapters so far (thanks for placing them into easy to consume chapters) but as ever, simply brilliant content. Love watching your content. I love my Mister and this looks like it's going to be a joy to watch from start to finish. Keep up the great work.

I've been someone that mostly just emulates consoles on other consoles in ways that are "good enough". My main classic games from the 3rd and 4th gens are on my Wii and Wii U, my OG Xbox runs Arcade games, and I use my Vita for PS1 and PSP stuff. I've also been more interested in picking up handheld hardware alongside flash carts, since those provide the more unique experience to invest in with how high retro game prices are these days. But I'll admit, this video is at least making me interested in potentially picking up a MiSTer with how detailed and well done it is. Probably won't be for a while since I'm focusing on getting some other hardware mods done on my current stuff and picking up the handhelds I want before they become unobtainable, it's something I'm interested in keeping an eye on for future reference. I'd personally like to wait for a composite output option since I'm very much a composite snob, but then again I still don't have a CRT and have been looking for one for a while. Here's hoping I can find one soon before those get impossible to find too... But really, anything that benefits game preservation is A-OK in my book. Glad to see this project be as good as it is and am excited to see how PS1, Saturn and 3DO works out! I thankfully have an N64 with a flash cart already, but those other consoles I have to emulate on my PC which isn't very fun for me personally. I prefer playing console games in my room on my bed. If those work out properly, I'll probably get one then. Till then I'll stick with my Wii and Xbox, but I suspect I'll join the MiSTer family earlier then I expect.

Without a doubt the best Video ever made for RU-vid!! The length, the scope, the material, the quality, it is truly amazing and awesome to behold!

@Rationalific 2 года назад

Fantastic job, guys! I had no idea that I'd watch this all the way through, especially since I don't have a MiSTer, but I remained interested throughout! I appreciate all of the developers who worked on the MiSTer and its cores, and I appreciate you both for explaining it to us. And thanks also to Audi, who was sørlie needed for the home computer section of this video. Nice work, all of you!

[Try4ce] This is a quality pun that I'm ashamed I never thought of in all the years I've known Audi.

@ThomasJohnBourne 2 года назад

This is so solid, I can't believe how long it is, while still being well-paced. I love the more conversational style of Audi's segment. Euro Micros are still so foreign and odd to me, even with a little tinkering on MiSTer's Amiga. Dear God, do I need an MT32-Pi now? I've resisted the allures of pi for so long because I don't exactly need more technical rabbit holes in my life, but if I used it ONLY as an external MIDI synth, we might be in business.

@thickie-d 2 года назад

Recently compatibility was added to for an android app to act as the MT32 (via usb cable) you can use any old unused or cheap android phone, its a great idea

@irmaosver 2 года назад

By far the most comprehensive video on the topic as of 2022. Thank you for producing this top-notch video on what I consider to be the best acquisition I have made, the gift that keeps on giving, the MiSTer. It also gives a nice little nod to some familiar RU-vidrs such as GameSack and Lu's Retro Source.

@Davitron_87 2 года назад

As someone who was using the Analogue consoles along with flash carts, the MiSTer has basically made all those redundant for me. To the point where I’ve started selling those off. I can’t recommend MiSTer enough. It’s incredible.

@ninetendopesaitama2107 2 года назад

Wont sell my super NT having a MiSTer since 2019. I like the hw too much even i dont use it anymore.

@Davitron_87 2 года назад

@@ninetendopesaitama2107 got plenty of mileage out of my analogue consoles. But since I don’t have the space to set them all up at once, they’ve basically remained in their boxes since I got a MiSTer. It’s just far more convenient for me.

"Screen tearing does rear its ugly head in many situations - although I don't have enough experience on a real PC to know if it was present there as well" Yes. Yes, it was. PC video hardware did not have a reliable way of reporting blanking intervals until the GPU era. There _is_ an interrupt that can be used for this in VGA, but hardware support is .... uhh... well, let's leave that at "not universal." So most software does not even bother. You get what you get.

@steel5897 2 года назад

Not directly related to the mister, but just wanted to say how impressed I've always been with this channel. Such incredible editing and production values for what is essentially extremely niche applications of a niche hobby. You wouldn't expect videos about optimizing the output of old game consoles or the small FPGA emulation scene to have such quality. Though I guess these days more and more these things aren't as niche as before, which is awesome, I'm excited to see the scene growing.

Been really looking forward to this video for awhile. I bought my Mister setup right at the beginning of 2020 and It's been my favorite retro item bought to date. Its only gotten better in the past 2 years. X68000, PSx, Saturn alone are amazing to look forward to as those systems are too crazy expensive to collect for. What a fantastic project.

@yoshipilot 2 года назад

Very cool episode! The mister isn't really my kind of thing considering its high price and the plethora of original hardware solutions I have already. I would consider it if it supported S-Video, since that's the best my CRT can do.
