Thanks!
I've been meaning to actually use something like this mostly with:
POLYBIUS and
Moose Life,
so that's why I asked about PC (Xinput) support.

[Edit] Silly me, of course a spinner will be seen as a 2-axis mouse in windows, not as a controller

I received my Ultimate Mister Pro on Saturday. The case & parts are well put together and packaged for safe shipping. The PCB case is very nice looking with no external USB bridge to clutter it up, the fan is silent, and it only uses one power brick. If you are in the US and have the patience for international shipping, I found the pricing and shipping very good for a fully loaded setup.

Amazing Service from Ricardo at Ultimatemister.com.
Delivered from Portugal to the UK well packaged (quicker than expected despite the pandemic) the build quality is superb and it all works straight out of the box!
I had a few questions before placing my order and Ricardo was extremely helpful and answered them all. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him.
Looking forward to re-living my childhood now!

Highly recommended.

Thanks Ricardo and keep up the good work.

I cannot start any SNES or NES game and C-64 core.

Either the screen stays black or displays some random pixels.

These cores used to work in the beginning, meaning two weeks ago when I received the UltimateMisTer. I know that the C-64 core worked and starting a NES game. Starting Genesis and arcade games (or at least Arkanoid) still works by the way, also C-16 core. For the other cores I do not know since I did not use them in the beginning.

I did not really change any settings. And I installed the Mister OS from scratch on another SD card, same results.

When I run the memory test a lot of errors are detected very soon as it seems. Is it because of that? Or why does it not work?

SNES, NES and C64 all need additional SDRAM but Genesis does not. If those three cores are not working and you also get errors in memory test, you very likely have a faulty SDRAM.

Here is the list of cores which need SDRAM:

Maybe something wrong with RAM, pm me here or by facebook I guide you with all necessary.

[zmarko]

It is with SDRAM. I will PM you then since I deleted my Facebook profile a long time ago.

I sent you a private message Ricardo here in this forum but it is in the outbox folder and not in the sent folder. Did you receive it?

[zmarko]

I think this private messaging system here is broken since it displays it in the outbox folder and not in the sent folder. I sent you an email at sales@retroshop.pt and would be glad if you can reply soon. Please check your spam folder if you did not receive it.

[rickdangerous]

During the day will review all mails, will respond to all. Lots of work / orders last days.

Hello! I am a new member on this forum and I have reasently ordered some things from UltimateMiSTer.com. I have some questions about my order, and I was wondering what would be the best way to get a hold of Ricardo? (As a new member of the forum I am not allowed to send pm) I have tried facebook messenger, sales@retroshop.pt and geral@retroshop.pt, but recieved no reply. I hope everything is ok.

[rickdangerous]

I’m here, sorry being slow lately with answering but have been an outstanding number or orders. I’m always producing and shipping. I think will have to move all contacts to ticket system on site or lost the track of some messages.

Pm me again, I’m trying to respond to all mails and messages fastest possible.

Keep safe, Enjoy MiSTer

[lamarax]

Can I hazorder 1 spinner please?

...speaking of that; it's a spinner right? I mean an optical one; or is it an Atari-like paddle pot?

[rickdangerous]

RULE #1 - DON'T USE 12V PSU ON MiSTer. IT WILL KILL YOUR HUB.

I don't mind to repair if necessary, but lets avoid this

Keep Safe,
Enjoy MiSTer

Ricardo

[Mellified]

Managed to order one of the premium model white spinners today. Very excited to use it!

[rickdangerous]

Thanks for all support and patience. Very busy days

I received the replacement memory module, it works now with it. Thank you!

[rickdangerous]

Full stock of all stuff including Full setups, new Spinners, MIDI stuff, new Stormtrooper cases, SNACs with HDMI cables and many more coming.

[grizzly]

Is everything gone yet?
I mean it IS almost 2hours since your post

[gribbley]

Just registered to give Ricardo some props - ordered a Mister kit plus USB/Neo Geo adapters and VGA/SCART adapter and very much enjoying tinkering with it over the Easter break. Thank you!

[rickdangerous]

Spinners all gone in few hours yes. All others will be back soon (spinners some more days)

[TomDeHugo]

@rickdangerous Is there any way to track orders? I placed my order on 12 March and it still hasn’t arrived. I’m in the USA, so I do realize there will be a delay, but I thought that 30 days would be enough time.

There's barely any planes flying between Europe and the US right now. It took my order about 6 1/2 weeks back in January/February.

[Beeble]

Hell Yeah!

Startet to lose hope in Deutsche Post, but today they pulled through and moved my parcel into my happy home.

Build Quality and packaging were great, the MiSTer case (Stormtrooper white) looks way better in RL then on pics and is way above
my first 3D printed case.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Ricardo and his Shop, he is a friendly helpfull guy as most of you know and helped me out more then once
in the beginning with n00bish questions.

5/5 Stars

[Rich]

What a guy Ricardo is. Just had my blister usb board and case delivered. My mister is now fully dressed.
Communication with Ricardo was great, he was patient with me and all my questions and super helpful. My parcel was well packaged and arrived within 2 weeks of being posted.
Fully recommend anyone to do business with Ricardo. 10/10.

I have a question about how deliveries from UltimateMiSTer normally work. I thought I'd post it here first to not bother Ricardo as I know he is quite busy.

I ordered an Ultimate BlisSter Case on April 12th, and was of course eagerly waiting for it to arrive. As I know Ricardo gets a lot of orders, and it was on backorder I didn't except it to ship very quickly. So I was positively surprised to get an email about order being complete and with a tracking ID from Portugal post already April 14th.

Now, it's April 25th, and the tracking ID is not possible to use.It just says on the CTT web page "Item not found" and "It was not possible to get more information about the object.".

I am thinking, either I got the wrong tracking ID, or the package is not really shipped yet. But shipping is somehow booked.

How was your experience? When you got a tracking ID, was the item shipped, and could you use the ID to get any information?

I guess can try to get in touch with Ricardo directly, but maybe the forum can shed some light first.

Ricardo creates the shipping label whenever he receives/acknowledges an order. It will go live on the CTT tracking system (and at the same time on your local service's respective site), once he actually deposits the items in the post office.

[daggen]

Thank you, that answers my questions perfectly.

[lamarax]

...on the plus side, you'll eventually receive a package with pacman sprites printed on the labels

[daggen]

I am giving up on this shipment from Ricardo. I have contacted him prior to purchase, once on Facebook, and via the email form. I didn't get a response. I ordered anyway, thinking he was too busy to answer questions. I opened a ticket on his web site 3 days ago to get an ETA. I never heard anything back from him on any communications channels. I hope he's alright.
