Still emulation.
>>
>>720668572
Hardware emulation retard, which is far superior in accuracy, latency, and compatibility than dogshit software emulation.

It's literally 1:1 experience with original hardware, while software emulation is an ugly tranny wearing a wig and a dress and claiming xe's a real woman now.

It's an emulator implemented in verilog. It's not the original chips, it's the exact same thing as running it on the PC with software emulation (with the exception of needing to pay more for chinkshit mister hardware and being less user-friendly).
>It's literally 1:1 experience with original hardware
Why wasn't the saturn core passing every test then??? Why does the GBA core fail some tests if it's 1:1 with the original hardware?

Retard. Hardware emulation has a ton of inherent advantages. It has much better inherent accuracy, ceiling for accuracy, way easier to dev for, targets a single spec, zero input latency, zero audio latency, and native support for CRTs and OEM controllers.

But that still doesn't mean you hit the "make core" button and put poofs a perfectly accurate core. So it's a good thing we had/have the brightest and most passionate minds in the space working tirelessly to make the most perfect cores possible.

As it stands now, basically every single main core is 100% compatible, has zero recorded issues, is more accurate than the most accurate software emus, and is completely indecipherable from OG hardware using any game in the library even to the most scrutinized criteria.

>NES core has the highest result on AccuracyCoin testrom of any emulator in existence
>MD core gets one fail on the most intensive MD test rom, compared to 3-5 fails depending on version with the most accurate software emulators, BlastEm and Nuked
>GBA core is one of only a couple emulators in existence that passes AGS Aging Cartridge (Nintendo's own internal test for their hardware) with 100% accuracy
>NEOGEO core is cycle accurate using fucking decaps of original hardware and far better than MAME and FinalBurn
>Saturn core has 100% passed literally every test that even exists for the Saturn, blowing away software emulation
>N64 core has better accuracy, lower latency, and better compatibility than Ares, the most accurate N64 software emu
>PSX core is cycle accurate and has zero compatibility issues compared to the dozens of Duckstation and Mednafen
Etc etc.

If you simulate hardware incorrectly (which all of the mister cores do, because they don't implement 1:1 asics that the original hardware uses) then there's nothing "inherently" more accurate.

What the fuck is this even supposed to mean? There are 100% cycle-accurate emulators for PC that exist. Does your fucking shilled mister garbage do 110% accuracy? The only cope is your bullshit, you're either trying to sell your shitty hardware or you have buyer's remorse.

Parallel nature of FPGA, development for a single spec, perfect input latency and audio latency. And regardless, they ARE the most accurate, so we don't need to imagine hypotheticals in which they aren't

Original consoles are the pointless niche. MiSTer offers a completely identical experience with optional enhancements.

MiSTer is like having every 1st-5th gen console, all with everdrives, all RGB modded, plus with a retrotink 4k. It's a no-brainer

Meanwhile my existing PC is like having every 1st-6th gen console, and PC games. Plus I don't need a retrotink(?) to use it with 4k. I can also point my emulators to my 30 TB network share and I don't need to bother with moving games or save files around like a fucking caveman banging rocks together.

Threads about the new Panzer Dragoon Zwei demake alone proves you wrong. Some games you probably don't need to play on Saturn though, admittedly, Symphony of the Night is more of a curiosity (I removed Megaman X4 for the same reason), various arcade ports should probably be left off a pure Saturn list even if they have some unique features (like Street Fighter Alpha 3's Saturn port, which I did remember to take off my master list), and I guess even if we were being generous and adding back games better played elsewhere, you're hardly missing out on a lot.

This is completely untrue.
>It's literally 1:1 experience
Rubbish. These FPGA's are in constant WIP. They need updates. They have compatibility errors. They have graphics and sound bugs etc.
They are no better than software emulation.
>>
>>720668893
About $500US once you get all the addons it requires.
And it only emulates generation 3 and 4 consoles (NES/SNES).
Arcade and everything else is still WIP and the actual CPU that runs it isn't fast enough, which is why there's not PS1/Saturn/N64 or anything newer.

About 15 or so years ago, there was some really shitty PS1 emulator that used plugins (like epsxe) which passed a whole bunch of tests that other emulators failed..... but it couldn't actually play any games properly.
Because those tests are useless.

It's like claiming a GPU is really good because you ran it through one of those synthetic benchmark apps which spat out some arbitrary numbers, but you didn't actually test it on any games.

>runahead
Retard

It's never recommended to use run-ahead as it increases input lag variance for slightly lower raw input lag. It's also not accurate to original hardware, has limited implementation depending on internal game lag and how intensive it is to run, and can cause various issues

The only rare edge case in which it may be worth it (and even then, not really and it's inaccurate), is games that are easy to run accurately, have significant inherent gameplay lag (5+ frames), and games where reaction speed is more important than timing (not many). In these cases, the raw input lag improvement is so large that it could (arguably, but not really) outweigh the increase in input lag variance that it brings.

Also run-ahead is not going to remove any inherent lag from your setup or V-Sync lag, which will usually be 2-3 frames at least unless you have a very lag-optimized setup. Additionally it does nothing to improve audio latency. So no, you are certainly not getting original hardware/MiSTer CRT level input lag, and you certainly aren't getting that level of input lag consistency either
>>
>>720673640
This thread is literally about a 5th gen core you colossal fucking retard.

MiSTer supports N64, Saturn, and PSX, all of which are 5th gen, and all of which are more accurate than the most accurate software emulators.

Are you retarded? PSX, N64, Saturn are 5th gen. This is how fucking stupid the average anti-MiSTer disinformation shill is
>I saw alien soldier crash on mattewmatosis' stream. He had to do an online update to fix the compatibility issue.
MD core is ons of the most accurate cores in existence and its accuracy is extremely well documented. See pic related.

One person having a freeze on some unknown version at some unknown date does literally absolutely nothing in the slightest to change that, retard

The most intensive accuracy test for the MD. MiSTer has one single failure. Nuked and BlastEm, the most accurate software emulators in existence, have 3-5 failures depending on version (the same fail plus 2-4 more)

It boggles my mind that retards try to come in here and talk shit not even knowing something as basic and foundational as MiSTer being able to emulate 5th gen (as if the fucking OP post didn't already make that blatantly obvious)

In some ways it can be nice to know that any given game runs on an emulator without issue, but at the same time some of these issues are such small corner cases that you might be hardpressed to find a game that fails, or has slight bit of inaccuracy.
And even when the inaccuracy happens? Oh, it might just be just one or two more (or fewer) lag frames in a certain situation.
Basically the goal with 100% accurate emulation is more long term games preservation than it is something an average emulator user will ever notice or care.

The mister pi turbo one is already pre-built with everything you need. I think the SD card is already flashed, but you just put mister fusion on SD card, drop your roms, and then get the update_all script.

The update_all script is basically all you need, you just run it and it downloads all core updates, features, bios, MAME files, etc.

It's like 5-10 minutes of active work at most to get everything set up.
