MiSTer Setup for Amiga Core

Unread post by ReadyPlayerTwo »

Anyone know what the minimum setup I would need just to run this core??

Would want analogue output

Just thinking of getting a 2nd mister just to have a working Amiga only and have seen sidi so trying to decide which way to go.

probably be cheaper and faster to get a pi and run amiberry, if all you want is to run one core.

Not a fan of the pi to be honest. Just doesn’t feel right to me

Minimum for a working Amiga with analog out:
  • DE-10 Nano (~$140)
  • 32 MB RAM (~$15-20?)
  • HDMI→VGA Direct Video adapter (~$5)

Owning a Sidi, I can tell you that this is a very good (and cheap) option for simulating the Amiga but not only (other cores were ported to it, mainly the ones of the Mist) and this, just for almost €100 (case included). My opinion is that between the PI and the Mister, the Sidi is a good option but keep in mind that don't expect to reach the performances obtained by the Mister neither to see plenty of new cores like we've been seeing since a while on the Mister.
The Mister remains the top for me despite it is a bit more expensive (w/o add-ons, a complete set is 3x the Sidi price). I like my Sidi for what it is, but if I had to buy a third FPGA I'll buy a Mister or to be exact, the DE-10 nano + 32mb ram, and later on will populate it with the additional cards to do not spend to much money in one shot.
Last but not least, all systems are very nice (V4SA, PI, Sidi, Mist, Mister and even PC emulators) it just depends of what you want to do and what's your expectations.

Cheers.
Kathleen

The HDMI to VGA adapter is optional, you don't need it if you are running to a HD Display
It is my great regret that we live in an age that is proud of machines that think and suspicious of people who try to.

You mention analog output, VGA or 15Khz?

I don’t actually know, I’m not sure what my intended monitor can handle, must check
