I don't want accuracy, I want improvements.
>>720444115Retard
>>720443841can it play mario?
>>720444262Use MiSTer's turbo core then retard
>>720444071those saturn ones are pretty impressiven64 is just a regular software emulator in hardware though
>>720444172>Burning Rangers>Panzer Dragoon >Shining ForceWhy yes, I’ve never played a single Saturn game in my life and wouldn’t have even remembered it existed if I hadn’t browsed /vr/, how can you tell?
>>720444364I don’t think that’s how it works with FPGA. The whole point is that their emulation is at the hardware level so it avoids the latency issues you have with software emulation, since software emulation *also* has to emulate the hardware as well.
>>720444273not buying your broken FPGA tranny shit
>>720444374Panzar Dragoon and Shining Force has been ported a trillion times to other consoles and no one cares about Burning Rangers .
>>720444194How can you have fun playing a game when you're watching one smear collide with another smear at 480i?
>>720444554>shining force III>ported a trillion times
>>720444517>I don’t think that’s how it worksthat is explicitly how it works for the cores by that author, he writes them in software till it passes testroms (at low speed, since he's not optimized for speed) and then he makes a highly parallelized version for hardwarethis is why his cores are "feature filled" with speedups and save states, which burden more accurate coresi look forward to the better gba core, will be amusing to use snac and connect it to a real cube
>>720444732And Shining Force 3 is worth spending $300 on a Saturn emulator?
>>720444784GBA core already passes AGS Aging Cartridge with 100% accuracy, one of only like 3 emus to do so. Plus it has perfect audio/video sync and zero video or audio latency. It's essentially as perfect as it can get at this point.
>>720444871Yes.
I remember how confidently people said that 5th gen was impossible. Even if they aren't perfect implementations, they play extremely well.
>>720444931yes, verbatim, he builds to pass tests, and that's a decent way to gobut it doesn't work with snac
>>720445051snac?
>>720444986Saturn and PSX are about as perfect as you can get and both far better than any software emu and both have afaik zero issues or inaccuracies or even timing issues. Perfect N64 emulation on MiSTer is literally impossible due to its architecture but it's *extremely* close. Only a few games have very minor issues and patches perfectly fix the couple games that had freezing or hangups. At this point it's even more accurate and compatible than ares or AngryLion with far better video and audio latency and native support for OEM N64 controllers and CRTs
>>720444986I hate how presumptuous hardware geeks are.
>>720443841>perfectly>emulates
>>720445470Yup, a lesson not to trust confident sounding retards online.
>>720443841OP here, wrong pic sorry
>>720445353snac is the method of connecting original controllers, or in the case of the gb (not a, because of the current core) cores, the link cable>>720445358technically psx is accurate to the ps2's implementation of it, which has errors accurate to the ps2 trying to run psx games that are absent on original psx hardware
>>720444517I don't think N64 can fit onto the FPGA they're using it so they make some concessions.
>>720445358Which games? Conker's Bad Fur Day is one of the only N64 games that I've cared about that always had problems with emulation back when I cared about that sort of thing.
>>720446016oh intradesting unique hardware features on old consoles are things i often forget about. it's been so long since any game i've had any interest in used a peripheral.
>>720443841If I cared about accuracy, I'd buy the actual consoles.Besides, the hot new thing, at least for the N64, is decomps and native ports. Can your fancy box do this?https://youtu.be/DyFxseMMZIw
>>720444206>passes every test>but the games don't run anyway>issues not closed so no official documentation stating that the issue was fixed or request is cancelled as its for an outdated version
>>720446075Conker and Jet Force Gemini and RE2 autopatch to fix crashing issues and play with zero issues.Aside from that it's mostly just a few attract screens that run too fast (gameplay runs correct speed). It's basically ares but more accurate and compatible with zero latency and perfect audio sync, SNAC N64 controller support, and easy play on either CRT or 4kTV with zero latency
>>7204438411) Does it support save states? On everything? On most arcade games?2) What's the entry cost?
>>720446016PSX core and PS2 BC are both hardware emulation but that's where the similarities end. PSX core doesn't have any current compatibility or accuracy issues
>>720447001>>passes every test>>but the games don't run anywayThe fuck are you talking about retard? It has 100% compatibility.Just kys disinformation shill
>>720448434i haven't looked at things for it any time recently, but last i played xenogears had a freeze in the core where it freezes on ps2 and that was considered accurate
>>720449203Xenogears freezes on PS2??? Like, every model of PS2?
>>720449669yes one of the bosses has an attack that freezes the game on ps2 and, at the time, the psx core on misteryou have to get good rng and have it not use the attack in order to get past it
>>720443841https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/720304143/#720313823>Can't even emulate NES perfectlyWe'll continue to kick your ass, buddy.
What's the best place to get one of these pre built? Or is it better to build them yourselves? Now that it can do perfect Saturn and is getting more arcade cores I'm finally seeing the value over just sticking with my Wii
>>720450297What the fuck kekWell that's good to know. I guess waiting to play it on my Vita was the right choice to make.
I kinda want to get one of theseShould I get this or black?
>>720453450
Why did the MiSTer flop?
>>720453450If you can't decide based on the way the device itself looks, then it depends on where you're gonna be putting it. Black is just easier to match with 90% of furniture.
>>720443913>>720444032why pay for an ad when you can make a thread for free? i never understood why people say buy an ad
>>720453927Because the entire marketing budget is one Indian angrily posting on 4chan, you bloody bastard bitch.
>>720453958I'm torn between black that matches everywhere, but transparent is just so coolOn the other hand it doesn't look like you see anything anywaysWhere are all the capacitors and shit
>>720454812yeah i'd go transparent just cuz it looks distinct. as for internals who knows, maybe you can make it more transparent somehow.
I'm glad I bought a MiSTer. It's been great so far!
>>720445992>>720444115>>720443954>>720443945>>720443920you're all brown, the MISTer is made for whites only
>>720455347Maybe I can open it up and put in a bunch of capacitors myself
>>720443841The fuck is that? a square dildo?
So does my computer though?
>>720456092>brownoid sees object>immediately contemplates how to fit it in asssuspicious
>you're all brown, the MISTer is made for whites only
What is wrong with you people?
>>720456092MiSTer is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It replicates the original hardware logic at the circuit level. Instead of imitating the system with software instructions. The FPGA is reconfigured to behave almost exactly like the original chips.In short, an FPGA emulator is closer to rebuilding the original hardware than just simulating it with code.
>>720443841>no dreamcast>no PS2>no xboxwhat is the appeal if you're under 50 years old and not a troon?
>>720456682What's hilarious is that OP, in all his shilling, claims that paying a few hundred for a MiSTeR and a CRT is what nonpoors do. Poorfags have $5000+ PCs.
>>720457113>troons out of nowhereI'm going to find /gif/ in your browser history aren't I?
>>720457386>out of nowhereNTA, but the only people that care about accuracy are speedrunners. Speedrunning is a hobby that has a strong contingent of troons.Troons are definitely part of the conversation when it comes to FPGA.
i think it's cool but i wouldn't want to get one until i have room for a little CRT to plug it in like a trinitron.
>>720449203>i haven't looked at things for it any time recentlyYeah, can't be using years outdated shit when the core has received a ton of updates. It's essentially flawless now, even for the most minor of issues. No issues with Xenogears in current build
It is worth every penny.
>>720456864mister isn't an fpga, mister is a project that uses an fpgamost mister cores are not "the original hardware logic at the circuit level" but are software emulators using hardware implementationthere's a few computer cores, megadrive (not the "genesis" core, that is software on hardware too), and neogeo, maybe one or two others, that are doing simulation type, and even that's debatable if you can call it a simulationthere's a lot of misinterpreted information, and a lot of difference between "can" and "does", most cores aren't "do"ers when it comes to simulationin the end it leads to a nice experience though, it's good to not have the input jitter associated with software emulation on windows, and there's almost never audio popping, and the only time you'll get shrill noises is when talking about it here
>>720457650It's not about the accuracy, I just like having an easy way to hook up to a CRTRight now I use a laptop with custom resolutions set to 20000x480 running through some AliExpress boxIf either die it's going to be a headache to set it all up againI like the idea of a simple box I just hook up to the CRT
>>720457719again, it wasn't an "issue", as it was hardware accurate, but to ps2
>>720453774>>720453450Blue one looks ugly, I'd go for the gray one, but if that's not an option then black
>>720456682post hand muhammad
>>720458004adding, i'm not saying it's not "fixed", i'm not aware of the changes, just if the problem no longer occurs that means it lost accuracy to ps2's version of psx hardware (and hopefully gained accuracy to psx's version of psx hardware, else it would be a hack, and pelp hates hacks)
>>720454812is it wrong that i want the gray-white model with this
>>720458772That looks sick but it's going to yellow
>>720443841>can't play animal forestFUCKING LMAO
>>720453774looks like the color of your GFs bull
>>720443841can I play Princess Crown with the tranlsation on it?
>>720459710>cuckoldry out of nowhereI'm going to find /gif/ in your browser history aren't I?
>>720459018yeah 100%
>>720458004Retard, no one has ever said or claimed anything about PSX core attempting to emulate PS2's BC except youIt mimics emulates PSX hardware, Xenogears should and does work fine
>>720460229hey it's fine to be new to the scene, it's very welcomingit doesn't "mimic emulate hardware", pelp is not that kind of developer, he documents his process very thoroughly, and why its behavior was(?) like a ps2 is understandable
you can't emulate sovl
>>720460738It's only "like a PS2" insofar as they are both hardware emulation. The goal was never to be like PS2's BC emulation, it's to mimic original PSX hardware.Regardless, Xenogears has no issuss. There is 100% compatibility. Even the smallest of issues are fixed by this point. Stop spreading misinformation with your dogshit years old build
>>720450297PS2 and mister PSX both have very inaccurate GPU timing, so it's probably something to do with that.
>>720461479Bullshit, maybe 3 years ago
>>720461465what the goal is doesn't matter, what it wound up being doesthe "glitch", which occurs to sony specification, happened on the core at one pointmaybe it doesn't now, but since pelp builds things to-specification first, he wound up making a core that replicated the "xenogears deus freeze" which you can very easily and quickly find information about, which is most commonly attributed to ps2 but is also in every type of port of xenogears because it is to-specificationpelp's cores aren't oscilloscope country, that's unreasonable after the arcade boards
>PSX core is far more accurate than Duckstation and mednafen>100% compatibility with every US/JP/EU release >literally zero recorded issues (even very minor)>every game tested maintains exact lockstep frame timing with original hardware even for hundreds of thousands of frames>ummmm ackchyually some random guy 5 years ago said the GPU timing is bad mmmkay?Fuck are we doing here? Kys disinformation shills
It is really good.
>>720444706Aren't those games mostly 240p? Regardless, it's called soul you nigger
>>720463806let's just say i'm not very young, so that you're speaking from a place of being new to this scene doesn't bother me, i have plenty of patience you have very little understanding of what you're talking about though, you only speak in absolutes and you don't seem to know what any of it really means, because you weren't there, and you're barely here either, didn't learn, unwilling to learnyou are the one disparaging the core author's work, and that's pretty rudehe is aware of flaws in the core, and that is one of the reasons he looks forward to if the community will get together to find an fpga for "mister 2"
>>720463806>ACCURACY ACCURACY ACCURACY>I'M POOR AND CAN'T CRANK IT UP>ACCURACY
>>720464806You're thinking of N64 core. MiSTer is already capable of emulating PSX perfectly which is why we already have 100% compatibility with every US/JP/EU release, literally zero recorded issues (even very minor), and every game tested maintains exact lockstep frame timing with original hardware even for hundreds of thousands of framesOf course emulation could always be theoretically and technically perfect. But for even the most autistic and anal of players/speedrunners, PSX core is for all intents and purpose 100% perfect.
>>720464806Retard: The Post
>>720465096>You're thinking of N64 corei'm not, sorryyou can directly ask pelp what happens to the timings in the psx core when a certain number of audio samples begin playing on the same frame, he has some interesting numbers down to the nanosecond about it>>720465268you are a phoneposter
Ijust bought it, is it worth buying a crt for this shit or can I just use my 4k monitor
>>720465578>in this extremely rare edge case, the core is not completely 100.000000% the same as original hardware (even though it has zero effect on gameplay in any way)Wow, no one cares. No one claimed it was perfect down to the atomic level
>>720465578NTA but get fucked
>>720465695It's great for both. I used CRT at first but I ended up preferring my 4K TV
>>720465816the core author cares, that's why he's written about itso you can stop disparaging them now, ok?>>720465864don't forget to check your horoscope too, maybe this will be your lucky day
>>720443954rofl
>>720465864148 is retard-level.
>>720465816That's the whole basis for using this thing instead of emulating.

>>720471554>thread about how perfectly accurate it is>someone points out it's not perfectly accurate>"IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE!"It does, or I could just use my NASA PC to emulate at 4k.
I wonder how much shekels is all this FPGA shilling worth
>>720476742the real truth is that they don't do it for any shekelsthey want to feel superior to you over how they play video games
>>720469789Says exceptionally gifted right there, anon.
>>720443841While I think these things are cool, I picked up a used saturn and n64 and bought cheap chinese flash carts. OG hardware and controllers are a better experience.
>>720476742>he still thinks people actually use this website for marketingIs anyone paying you to constantly post "shill shill shill" all over /v/?
>>720454039chuds are upset youre cluttering their nintendo board with real videogames
>>720477227I'd wager a guess that the quality of either experience is essentially the same.
>>720477278The archive says the image on OP was seen 12 times on this board so far, 9 of which used for OPs from last month's end to nowWhen anons go up and say "Buy an ad", some of these do so with the cognitive notion that spending money to prep up a specific product/idea is way less expensive than to spend time prepping up
>>720477227>cheap chinese flash carts.You goofed big time.SS One would have been way better for cheaper
>>720477841That's not even remotely close to hard evidence, and even if it were the case, who the hell cares? At this point, "buy an ad" or "shill" basically means "i don't know what this thread is about but i'm posting in it anyway", which is genuinely worse than shilling a product on /v/ because LITERALLY all it does is shit up the board. At least advertising hardware gives us something to talk about.
