MiSTer FPGA Forum

The other day I got to thinking about an old console, like an Atari 2600, hooked up to an old black and white set. Or an old game of Pong, now that I'm writing this. Is there anyway to output the MiSTer in black and white or emulate that through a filter? Or is it already possible? In the grand scheme of things this wouldn't even be on my lists of requests, but might be a cool gimmick.

Can’t you just turn the colour on your TV to zero? Or enable greyscale in the TV accessibility options?

On a similar note, is there any way to output the MiSTer without sound?

What about turning the volume to 0 in the OSD?

Is there a way to simulate a broken TV ? Maybe not turning on the mister ?

Can i turn the mister into a color TV only view? No black and white, just color.

As many people use a computer monitor VGA CRT, RGB CRT or flatscreen this is not an option for them.

I'm using this kind of device for VGA for another purpose than the Mister however, but it should do the job on mister as well I think.

Or another one : https://github.com/spark2k06/MonochromeRGB (a bit more expensive)

Cores with palettes (like the NES) should be able to do this.
