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

Reviewing an exciting new device in the retro scene: the MiSTercade v1.1! A drop-in hardware emulation solution for JAMMA arcade machines, and it is awesome. Sure it may not have all the games and customization offered by a Raspberry Pi or PC setup, but what it does offer is highly accurate low latency gaming that's a step above the rest when it's at its best. The future of the MiSTer Project is bright!

I've owned my Mister for about a year and the amount of stuff being added since I bought it is nuts. It's no exaggeration to say that every time I run my update all script (about once a week) there are new arcade cores coming down the pipe. The guys who do this stuff are passionate and productive.

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

[@Gatorade69]

@@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 KZbin will delete my comment.

Awesome Clint!!! Love how everything is coming together for that Viper4 arcade cabinet. It's just amazing what the modern tech community comes up with to keep the arcade gaming scene alive!!! With so many mainstream arcades disappearing from malls, cinemas and bowling alleys it's becoming harder for people to get that fix (unless you pay to go into one of these private collection arcades). Really want to create a sit-down racing cabinet with a FPGA, be nice to play Classics like Ridge Racer, San Fransico Rush, Outrun and Sega Rally as it's meant to be played.

MiSTer is a really cool concept. The fact that you can just drop one into an arcade cabinet is just awesome. It's about as close as you're gonna get without using the original board and those are getting scarce. (Not to mention that a fair deal of those boards are dying due to capacitors giving out, suicide batteries, general wear tear with age.) It's early days now, but where there's a will there is a way. I fully expect it to support pretty much all popular arcade games within a few years. Also cool to see another Cave shooter enthusiast. I've fallen in love with those ever since Dodonpachi Resurrection made it over to the west as a mobile game many years ago. I've been anxiously waiting for an opportunity to play Saidaioujou for a decade now, but every time any news on that drops it just seems to get further out of my reach. There's a less than great 360 port and an arcade re-release. That last one meaning that emulation ain't happening for another decade.

An idea for the MiST crew would be to have a live arcade board menu, where you can have several boards hooked into a "stacker" style system, running live and then from the menu a user can pick the game they want to play or fire up the board they want from the preset menu programmed into the MiST. So user will see a menu with say 10 PCBs plugged in and get to select game they want. Then system shuts down the other boards that aren't selected or puts them into a "rest" mode to reduce power consumption.

[@billyelliotx]

It's not about power consumption, it's programmable gates on the FOGA and memory space. You can customize your list of cores and have a separate directory with your 10 cores.

One thing to keep in mind when choosing between something like RasPi & MiSTer is that RasPi has many additional options and more games compatible with different systems. BUT it's just basic emulation.. may as well just throw an old laptop or desktop with qual frontends like coinops or Type R. When you choose MiSTer your playing all those amazing arcade, console, computer and handhelds titles with FPGA tech.. meaning each arcade board and title hardware is backwards engineered so when you experience these games they will be NEARLY identical to experiencing the real thing.. the actual console or arcade cabinet when you first experienced them at your local arcade or fav console xmas morning as a kid. It's pure nostalgia.. magic. So far away from what basic emulation offers.. going back to emulation will be ruined forever. Promise.

[@SaarN1337]

You should remember that this board, although entry level, is professional grade. The fact that this board has both an ARM processor and an FPGA onboard with free programming tools (again, entry level), made it suitable for this kind of a project. But when this project started, Terasic had a huge increase of orders for this board (and DE10 in generally), and take the chip shortage into consideration and you can see why this had gotten so expensive. I remember this board was around $100-105 with education \ university discount early last year, now it's $180 with discount and $215 without, my DE10-Standard board now costs $50 more than when I ordered it. Being worth the cost boils down to the support of the developers, because it can be updated both in terms of hardware and software, and even if it doesn't get support anymore - you can always use it for something else or just sell it, because it's a development kit.

I think it's only fair to note that MAME-based systems (Pi and PC based emulation setups) are based on the work of thousands of developers working together over multiple decades. The MiSTer system is primarily the work of a comparatively tiny cadre of key core developers, working over the past 5 years. However, such a comparison highlights the fact that MiSTer's main attraction is it's FPGA architecture, not it's competitive status in the "who has more games?" stakes.

I can honestly see the Pi or other solutions right now, but for hardcore players (...nerds) like myself, I think this is still the best value. I have 2 things to say. 1) You can potentially play games on the PS1 core (and any other console core really) that has vertically oriented games, the Raiden DX port available on PS1 is just super amazing and feature rich, in fact, the PS1 port of Raiden II was the ***only*** way to emulate Raiden II for so long! 2) You might not like this, but I personally recommend you adding a 3rd button, games like ESPRade which I saw you playing at the end, are 3 button games, and also you might not like the idea of "autofire", whatever, but most games internally allow that C button to be an autofire, which could make your experience a bit more pleasant for your hand, and makes the list of playable games higher.

I'm sure some sort of splitter exists that would allow you hook up both without having to open up the arcade every time to switch between them.

[@alextirrellRI]

I had been following MiSTer for a while and bought a setup in 2020 -- it was less expensive then as supply wasn't an issue yet. Sure, the arcade library isn't huge yet, but the potential is just incredible. The console side is looking a lot more complete. The Sega Saturn core is really coming along. All that's really left to do are the Jaguar and the 3DO? Nothing newer like the N64 is likely on the hardware. On the computer core side, I hear someone started an Apple IIGS? I would love to see a color 68k Mac core, and maybe a ground-up 486 core eventually. I believe the PCXT core just got released!

[@Yakkers]

So, does this get you perfect vsync with no input lag? I've used typical PC to JAMMA systems for emulators but I always had to choose between screen tearing or unbearably high input lag. If this thing lets you have your cake and eat it too, it's absolutely worth the $500+ entry fee for me
