Upgrading a 90s Arcade Machine with MiSTercade - FPGA Gaming Excellence! 

Do they have any of the golden tees running on the mister yet? Golden tee fore specifically

@Tristan Different device for different purposes and different accuracy levels.

@@namegoeshere69 That's the one with the trackball, right ? Here's what I could find. "Trackball is close to being easy. You can find an "arcade usb trackball" for pretty cheap, although in my experience it doesn't work that great (some movement would lock to cardinal directions, doesn't spin much after the initial push). You can pretty easily find actual arcade trackballs like Happ and Beston Imperial, and usually those have some sort of board like the I-PAC 2 that can be used to convert it to USB. The problem at that point is finding a nice case for the trackball and board, which I haven't really found. If you can find it, at one point X-Arcade made a [standalone trackball controller]. Unfortunately they don't make this one anymore and they don't pop up often, so this may be hard to get. In terms of games, Marble Madness would definitely be a good one. I have tried the MD version with a trackball mapped to the mouse on MiSTer and it works fine. There was recently support added for Irritating Maze on Neo Geo, that's a pretty neat one to try." I removed the links because RU-vid will delete my comment.

Your definition of "best" is very broad, if all three are THE best...

Windows 98 and windows XP are based

@@slightlyevolved This.

Ps1 boot up is the most satisfying..

i guess no one cares about the gameboy advance anymore

Ur mom is a raiden game

Running a pc with groovymame and CRT emu is still better.

There are limitations on the boards that can be emulated on the DE10-Nano but like MAME, MiSTer will evolve onto new hardware platforms as FPGAs get bigger, faster and cheaper.

Yeah it’s highly useful! I went into the cabinet more in the previous episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rkINheaqe28.html

That dynamo cab is really good,one of my favorite arcade cabs

That's more than what I purchased my whole mvs cab for. The de10-nano is unobtainable right now.

You got a good deal then. Where I live you can't even get a broken cabinet missing all of the parts for under 1k.

Cabinets are a few hundred bucks if you just want a donor cab. I saw a street fighter three 3rd strike go for a few hundred bucks without a PCB. I got a full Neo Geo Goldie for $650 with two slot MVS. That being said, the price of a mister pays for itself if you run a handful of games off it vs original PCBs. If you're using this to play one game, you're not getting a good deal.

I've been running MAME in my arcade game since the late 90s. I agree 100%!!!

no one is forgetting that, we all started with MAME

@@javierruizleon some of us started in actual arcades, lol

MAME is still used as a technical reference for arcade emulation projects, including MiSTer. I've used it for FPGA cores as well as RE and transcoding/porting of arcade games to other platforms. MAME is an invaluable resource and will always remain so.

time for some gauntlet legends? 👀👀

@@ribber9740 Dark Legacy!

@@Jokerwolf666 even better 🤩

There are a couple of great USB gamepads with almost no latency you can use with a Pi4 setup. The Retrobit Sega Genesis controller is one of them. Highly recommended. I used it on both the MiSTer and the Pi4 using RetroPie.

@@labnine3362 Fun fact there's more to it than "Controller latency" but simply that analog snappiness across the board that is still missing even with overhead.

I shared a similar degeneracy when I played game boy advance games with a NEOGEO kidney stick. Made metal slug advance feel like a real arcade game.

Somewhat?

@@maxxdahl6062 If you're putting this in an arcade cabinet then you're already far enough down the rabbit hole to consider a Mister as only 'somewhat expensive' 😅

@@spazda_mx5 Then might as well get a real cab for that. lol

@@maxxdahl6062 Problem is that getting ahold of the real PCBs to fill it can be pretty much impossible. It's not *just* about the money.

@@PeTTs0n88 Not if you're patient. You can find just about anything. I bought a 1 slot neo geo MVS pcb, still in it's factory box for a fraction of what this costs.

Oh yea that's awesome! Hrmm the most bonkers capacitor solution I've seen so far is what apple did on their studio display lol. They cut holes in the PCB and stuck the capacitors in the hole aligned with the PCB. It's so weird.

@@kyanche It's not that unusual I've seen that done on boards going back to the 80's. It's done to achieve thin form factors.

That's also just a cosmetic cover as a traditional mister has a similar sandwich height form factor.

Software emulation being inherently innacurate is a myth the FPGA market uses to sell more products

Some emulators are insanely accurate now so enjoy retro the way you want to.

@@Jokerwolf666 YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE. YOU MUST PLAY ON ORIGINAL HARDWARE ONLY ! ANYTHING ELSE IS BLASPHEMY AND YOU WILL BURN IN GAMING HELL.

to be fair, there are plenty of 90s arcade games that run like absolute shit on MAME and are completely unplayable with 5 or more frames of input lag. If you’re into shmups, fighting games, or beat ‘em ups, FPGA is really a big step up. I use retroarch for arcade currently, I’m not saying emulation is bad. But I’m saying that it’s not a negligible difference like it is with a lot of emulators nowadays like dolphin that are basically perfect

@@Gatorade69 and yeah who is saying you have to play on PCBs other than the one hundred guys that buy them all up and hoard them for profit? Nobody. We all want to play these games and the original hardware can cost thousands. I just think people don’t understand the appeal of fpga so they see this as not worth it and that you should just use a pi (lol)

LGR is pumping really great content videos for the past 14 years*

@@invghost Damn. That's pretty a long time. I have been watching his videos since 2010.

PS1 was released in 1994/1995, not 1990.

@@almostliterally593 he got it early, his dad works at Sony

And those poor suckers complaining about $600 for a setup, its $7000 now!

Operation Dark Storm will bring it under control.

Retro has always been here :D Its just that the next generation is finally accepting it :D

@@THEONLYGORE or maybe the games industry just sucks bad enough now for people to start looking back more.

It does indeed.

Absolutely. The arcade cores are so lag and tear free that I've heard they're starting to become a popular solution for fighting game tournaments

Me too brother

same. it was one of the only social activities I could interact with. just being able to walk up to someones cabinet, put in a quarter and just play was so much easier than awkwardly asking if they wanted to play with you

I wasn't even alive when coin-ops were popular, and even I do

Look for a barcade in your area, pretty popular trend now.

@@yarayar1 There are no more malls in my area where arcades were prominent.

Two, and I’ve got multiple videos on each of them!

If you're ever in New England, there are Freeplay Arcades in Providence, RI and Worcester, MA. There was also a smaller arcade bar in Providence but it seems like it closed with the pandemic. I go to the Providence one once a month or so. It's very much a real arcade with a good mix of cabinets from the early days to the modern day. Mostly from the 80s and 90's tho. They have pinball and ski ball too!

thats the whole point, dumbass

LCDs are downgrades for retro games that were designed to be played on a CRT.

@@billyelliotx CRT all day for arcades, this is the way

@@namegoeshere69 yeah, I was at first on the "a LCD looks good" until I actually did an A to B comparison and realized how much of an impact a CRT makes on retro graphics and response time. Granted, LCD shadow mask shaders have come a long way but I think it's been said you need 8k resolution and 1000Hz displays to actually match what a CRT can do.

NAOMI did that years ago - and it's called the marquee

Philippines? I remember those chipipay type of cabinets.

@@lipstickzombie4981 Yep, chipipay cabs that are usually made with thin MDF plastered with vinyl.
