I have assembled a similar setup to your, except using a different ttl converter. Without using any cables, just a db25 male to db9 female, and then a db8 male to male to connect to the ttl converter. I get a one way communication in that what I type in serial console in Arduino is seen on the TRS-80 Model 100 screen. But what I type on the TRS-80 does not show up on the console. I have tried disconnecting the IDE and powering the esp module with power only, as well. But TRS-80 cannot seem to make a connection to the esp. Might be a wiring/null/crossover situation, but does seem like it. If the cross over were wrong, then presumably I would get no connection. BUt I do get a one-way connection.

Will you be reviewing Taki Udon's MiSTer Pi?

Unbelievable content right here, thanks I've been learning this machine down to its hardware but you produced content that I'm still learning 🎉 thank you so much

great video!

Really great explanation. Your didactic skills are fantastic. I need to learn more about how these old CPU-Board works in detail.

Thanks so much for posting. Beautifully put together.

That handheld is so cool. Excellent job all around, especially with the comprehensive deep dive. QMTech definitely seems to have no illusions that if the average customer is buying a certain FPGA dev board, it's for retro hardware emulation.

Este quizá ha sido el mejor video que he visto en todo el año.

You’re the best, instant suscribe

At appoximately 6:00, you mention blowing capacitor C-25 if the wrong type of power adaptor is connected. Unfortunately, I just ran the wrong polarity through my system, and am now unable to power it on. Can you confirm that this is the likely problem, or provide any notes on your diagnosis/repair process? I appreciate you help!

Great Video, thank you so much, i knew nothing of what "Tap To" and "NFC Cards" was. I just ordered a PN532 , some NFC Cards, downloaded the Commodore 1541 NFC Enclosure 3d Print Files, and can´t wait to try this.

Thanks for the demo. Very intriguing.

I have a friend that sends me shit videos all the time. But today he sent me this one. I guess he is now a full grown ass man of world and culture hahaha. Subscribed. When is this video getting a "This Episode: The Movie" version? Cheers from Chile!

If you want to talk about business practices then you may want to talk about cash flow, manufacturer terms, and risk assessment. It’s very likely that this company doesn’t have unlimited funds to mass produce as many units as they like so most likely they’re limited to smaller batches and market them as limited supply due to their limited resources. (Which would also explain the scarcity of their other consoles) A more established and well funded company like Nintendo or Sony can afford to stock up on huge amounts of inventory (tying up their cash in the process) Where smaller companies have to not over stock in order to keep their operation going as they continue to grow.

Is there a way to force a save state whenever a game exits?

This was the video that made me finally REALLY understand FPGA's in relation to emulation. Thank you for providing this. Question - what is the blue device? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX6wmnV7ndOcsKc I assume it is a MiSTer but I want to check. I love the look of it and the USB hub on the front. If you can tell me more please.

very nice content, thank you very much sir.

Wow, really helpful and informative video! Love these side-by-side comparisons 👍🏻

That screen is insane! Definitely going to try find Klonoa at a reasonable price too. It looks great! 💯🕹️🎮

Thanks for this video bro! Been meaning to do this upgrade to my #WonderSwan I bought from Yahoo auctions a year ago! You've just given me the drive to buy the screen replacement just now from AliExpress 💯🎮🙏

18:49 sorry but FPGAs don't emulate, they implement

One other thing worth mentioning regarding quality - I've seen it mentioned in a few places that QMTech uses recovered (i.e used) CycloneV chips. Apparently QMTech themselves have stated this, although I haven't seen that first hand. I don't know what sort of quality control they can do to ensure these are in good condition, so it may not make any difference at all, but it's something worth bearing in mind.

Didn't know this existed at all. This part 11:50 makes me wish all sorts of fake micro cartridge replica (meaning, piece of plastic in the shape of famicom cart or mega drive cart and stuff, probably around the dimension of GBA cart) to show up on Alibaba in bulk but I know that's not gonna happen anytime soon😭

So the one with built in Sdram is compatible with Mister I/O board? I would like to jump into Fpga gaming from RGB Pi for using it as a 8/16 bit computer replacement ( MSX, Amiga..). I wanna make sure that I can plug it to a CRT through Scart connector. My understanding is that I will need a VGA to Scart adapter capable of 15khz. Great video

For me the best dumper of the world

This is my favorite thing to come out for gaming since the actual release of the Nintendo Switch. As a retro gamer primarily, the fact that for $83 total, you get a complete GB Color WITH lithium USB C rechargeable battery and 3 inch IPS screen without needing 26-year-old donor console parts is absolutely wild to me, especially considering that $83 in 2024 money would be like paying the equivalent of $40 for this in 1998 when the GB Color actually came out. Super reasonable. Can't wait until they figure out a Gameboy Advance FPGA chip.

Electrical tape would work behind the screen as well correct? Just ordered a kit and noticed it said to be careful the screen didn't touch the pins.

18:00 which newer consoles are difficult to emulate? Because the N64 isn’t, the PS1 isn’t, even the Saturn isn’t anymore, the Dreamcast isn’t, the PS2 isn’t? Xbox emulation is not there yet. From the PS3/X360 era forwards it doesn’t mostly even matter since so many games are on Steam and from PS4 era forwards consoles are useless tech and just a graveyard for games, and PC rules.

All original hardware is inferior to emulation when it comes to playing on larger screens because OG hardware can’t be scaled up natively. It’s not a problem for a Game Boy handheld but all consoles are so much better scaled up or by increasing the internal resolution a using a CRT filter for 2D games.

i reason for the D model is that N64 runs much better

This guy could teach me anything and I would understand it!

Great video. Thank you for this. You've gotten a new sub from me. :)

9:20 shout out to my BSD fellas

Great video, thank you 🤠

A register or accumulator?

I don't think Analogue is showing any moral failing, if anything they have a sub-par supply chain, but that's not evil or bad. They are offering a product for a price when they have the inventory, and we can take it or leave it. IMO $219, when it includes a SINGLE component that costs $70 and another one that costs $18, feels very reasonable, electronic components usually do not cost that much.

I got my DE10 before the pandemic and chip shortage. With the QMTech's Clone out, more and better software will come out. I use mine for retro computing, on systems I donot have.

I hope in the future you will make the same video about Mister Pi. :)

I have an Arc-S, I think the Sega controller scheme goes a long way and it is my most used emulation device. I don't care much about wifi, but the issue I have mine is that it does not save settings which is odd. I'm not sure if it is the SD card or the deveice itself, but it is still annoying. Shame the reception is so muted, I guess we won't see another similar 6-button device in the future.

handheld REALLY needs a slide out keyboard for mister tho.

Is the RTC on the IO boards already confirmed?

That is such a clever medium. You used it for the Konami code; I wonder what it would go into using cards to automatically perform Fatalities in Mortal Kombat. Specifically the first game, since I imagine you'd need a LOT of cards to cover every Fatality in just MK2 alone.

Thanks for this video. Super clear information.

This video needs to go into the archives for preservation.

Could QMTech’s cheapest squarish CycloneV board run MiSTer using some cables and accessories?

What about testing the BlisSTer with the QMTech?

Excellent video! Really like your informative and in-depth style 👍
