I called it a CLI, because it is a CLI. Virtually every SSH terminal I've ever used looks and feels just like this. I mean, MiSTer reminds me a LOT of remotely configuring and deploying AIX servers. The MiSTer's on screen display has more in common with the menu on a consumer appliance like an older television when you go into the settings on your...

if ANY project like this is become MAINSTREAM, stuff like this DOES MATTER!! As the avg joe DOES CARE about this. Why do those "cheaper emulator with fancy menus" sell? PEOPLE WANT THEM!! Why cant a FPGA both have a nice menu and be a good product? I'll be straight up, if the main dev community has this kind of mentality, I'll gladly pub...

My only MAJOR complaint about the MiSTer project in general, are things like reluctance to consider a GUI over CLI

nothing stopping you developing this idea yourself Midline, that's why it's open source..

If I had the skills, I would, but sadly, I do not...

EVERYONE (that is not technically inclined) that I have ever shown the MiSTer to, this is ALWAYS the thing they complain about the most and a reason they would NOT buy one. I always feel weird when I read this. What is off-putting to them about the current menu? Press the menu button on the controller, load rom, pick the game you want to play. To ...

Who cares if MiSTer goes "mainstream"?? It's for hardcore vintage gamers, built by hobbyists and supported by open source programmers/developers in their free time. Don't get so worked up :D I never said I did. Do you know what the word "IF" means? The only thing Im really "worked up" is the utter disrepect you have s...

midline_slippy

Nah I'm just saying if your friends don't want to own a MiSTer just because it doesn't have "fun menus" maybe it's not a product for them? They would likely be happier with a cheaper emulator with fancy menus as they obviously don't care about what's it's doing at the hardware level. AND? I use FPGA because I do care about that. But you ...

"How long can you put off a low importance issue, before it becomes a more severe issue?" Important to who? You and your friends?? :D Just get one of those Chinese emulation boxes off AliExpress if you need animated menus and flashing graphics Cool. I donno what you though you read, but I never said anything about "Chinese emulation...

My only MAJOR complaint about the MiSTer project....allowing multiple controller configurations (instead pushing to buy controllers for EVERY core) are missing the mark, keeping this from becoming a mainstream product. You can configure a controller to work on multiple consoles, for example an Xbox or PS controller can be used for every single cor...

My wifey got me an Analogue Pocket for a late bday gift (Purple Limited Ed version - Purple is my fav color). Awesome device. While it is an amazing handheld, it not a very good docked system / console :(. Watching some PCN videos, I decided to get a MiSTer. Im actually glad I waited to get/build one (Ive been watching this project for YEARS now). ...

This is an awesome tool and VERY much appreciated. However... If you currently attempt to download the complete collection, its going to take 24+ Hours! Also, unless I missed something in the code (very possible), it keeps the .zip and the extracted files? Hope you have 100gb+ free space avail... Not being a coder, I don't know how hard it would b...

One of the main points of the 0MHz DOS Collection is that it’s split up. You will never need double the space of however many games you download to unpack the games — just whatever the largest single game is. Not if you are using the script, which is what I specifically was talking about. As it installs ALL of the games. Ironic. As the post was as...

I’m at about 33hrs right now with the script running and it’s not finished yet (I have gig+ speed internet). I already had a couple of the games installed. Looks like it deletes the zip files after extracting them. That’s good. I was worried about the size, as I was about to download additional individual games instead as you suggested, but this wa...

I went the expensive route. I made custom 2x3 images and had someone from etsy print them out. https://i.ibb.co/nBGtSXC/IMG-0007.jpg The system logo and Box Cover images are from LaunchBox. Some covers are custom made from others on the internet for MSU games. Some of the covers I made (MD-MSU). I used Paint.NET to make a simple template for the NF...

Heck Yeah!! WWF WrestleFest is a personal fav arcade game. Id love to see someone pick up this.

Anyone know a way to move all games over at once rather than individually one at a time?

HECK YEAH!! I was just getting ready to start playing with the AO486 core!! I was dreading how to configure this core. I know it's a computer core, but the MiSTer (at least how I use it), really is more of a console, using a controller, not a keyboard and mouse. Sounds like this project is attempting to make the computer core feel like a console. I...

GB and GBC should go in /games/GameBoy ? So, you are saying they always should have been in /games/GameBoy? The update_all creates both /games/GameBoy and /games/GBC and are where I currently have my files split at, using Game Boy or Game Boy Color choices in the console submenu... Tho, I guess that does answer the question that I can combine GB a...

I am sure this may seem these are odd questions to some, but I am currently curating my RomSets (more of an analysis paralysis issue - trying to spend more time playing games not going thru massive game lists trying to figure out what game to play). In doing so, I have some questions... Am I correct to assume that the GameBoy and GameBoy Color core...

Was there ever a Sonic the hedgehog arcade? not the megadrive version. I seam to remember playing it on an arcade cab 30 years ago. If not i am dreaming but hey we can dream. Sure i put a few quid into that cabinet. Was it a dream? Was it in a sega megatech? Anyway if it can be done make it so Mister fpga gods. https://arcadeheroes.com/2016/06/23/...

Super Sprint on the NES is one of my fav from childhood that I still play today. I don't know how different it is from the Arcade ver, as I've never played the Arcade ver, but it may be worth checking out.

I am super greatful for what work has been put into the core and am super happy for what we have!!

THANK YOU!!

Get an N64 controller then you don't have to worry LOL. Yeah, that doesn't help... Why should I spend upwards of $50 on an OOS hard to get controller, that i dont like, just to play a handful of games, that already work fine - if i could set a custom controller layout per game. As it is now, I just avoid any games that use the Z button or both the...

Question about when / how the MiSTer cycles wallpapers.. Is it a set time? IE: 30 seconds? Is it based on selecting menu items? Does it reload a different one when the menu reloads? (This seems like the case with my MiSTer setup) Does it cycle abc? by date? by hdd order? (Have not been able to figure this out, as it seems to repeat some items more ...

If you are using a favorites menu, then I suppose that you load games via MGL files. You can edit the MGL files and give an alias to the corresponding core using setname . The configurations that you make in the core menu will then be saved to a file specific to the alias. You can use a different alias for each controller setup. A caveat is that t...

For me anyways, a BIG part of why I still play any video games is the nostalgia. For the most part I only play 3-5th gen games, thats where my nostalgia is (mostly NES and SNES). Simple fact, there IS a difference between playing on a pi, mister and original hardware. The pi is immediately obvious. ALL the timings are different. Software Emulation ...

Is there a way to create multiple controller layouts in a single core, saving them per game. Specifically for N64 and PSX. Light Gun games. Turning on the appropriate settings when starting the game and deselecting those settings when closing the game. N64, some games want to use the controller held in the middle with the Z button being the primary...
