In fact direct video gives you better quality. Mister is more about preservation of old hardware where as retropie is an os to run on the most popular sbc out there.ītw with direct video you don't need i/I up get analog output of Mister. Perhaps you should look into what a rpi can play. Hm, thanks for pointing that out Bucko, here I'm thinking it would be a cake walk.I've played sorr on the rpi with retropie on a crt TV fine.
Better to find an older PC you can use as a dedicated box for it. If you use your PC for work or modern gaming, CRT Emudriver is quite a disruptive thing to install.
To install it, you have to enable unsigned drivers to be loaded and basically replace your modern PC GPU drivers with these custom ones.
While CRT Emu Driver isn't terribly difficult to install, the way you put it there you make it sound like it installs like any other app. Perhaps later down the road I will find a more powerful compact PC than the Mister, that will allow me to run those projects on 15kHz sources. Likewise as Fudoh pointed out, I understand if the Mister can't do it. games like Last Bronx or Sonic R the PC versions, I do own the discs. Running a small handful of 90s PC games would be great too. I meant games like the BOR types, Streets of Rage Remake and so fourth and so on. No I'm not just talking about Super Nintendo, CPS2, or NeoGeo I'm aware that the Mister can run those titles just fine. ShellShocked, Rescue Palooza, etc.) on the Mister as well. While I have the option to run BOR and homebrews on the master rig, it be nice to be able to run a couple of 90's style games that require little resources to run (i.e. I can run classic titles on my monster rig sure, I just desire to have my cake and eat it to. That's why I was kind of hoping the Mister FPGA could fill that classic 15kHz, 240p space without the need for me to buy another PC for that specific old ass TV. Although I do play a couple of retro games here and there such as Sonic CD and KOF on the big PC. It's just as well I use this thing to play HD games like Mass Effect and Overwatch anyway lol. It would be a hassle to connect my Series X sized PC to the CRT. The only thing that sucks about that is, my PC is in the master bedroom a few feet down the hall, my CRT TV is located in the retro game room a couple of feet away from the bedroom. With an AMD card there's CRT Emu Driver which is easy enough to set up and use. If you mean a 15kHz CRT, you can do that with a Windows PC at 240p already. Just make sure you place your images in the "games" folder and Mister will pick it up. So long as it will store my games library, music, documents and videos.I use a 2TB hdd in tandem with an 8gb microsd and it's as simple as plug and play. Now I'll have to look into pricing models a 1TB usb drive, been a while since I done that. So the question becomes, is there something else I'm getting with a card that large? Perhaps faster transfer speeds? Better performance?Īny reason not to use USB storage instead for games? It's much cheaper.ĭidn't even think about that lol. Even the TV in my master bedroom is only 1080p. I am curious though, is that the only reason for the price gap? Because if so I can spring for silver since my MiSTer device will be running on a CRT.
The only differences I can discern are, one is gold the other is silver! I believe the gold one can output 4K while the silver one does full HD. One of these cards is normally over $230, while the other is $100.
Alright gang, I'm gunning for mass storage, around the ballpark of 1-2TB.
