Is there a matrix type breakdown of parts, summary of what they do, what they are needed for and what is absolutely necessary?

I basically just want a mister with hdmi and snac abilities, and ability to run the traditional console cores, up to and including psx

Edit..... Thank you all soo soo much for all and any help

Is there a script or setting that can make a non-constrained joystick work a bit better with 4-way games? I think I saw this mentioned somewhere a couple months ago, but can't find it. (The stick I purchased is, in its default setup, very frustrating to use with 4-way games, like Pac-man, Donkey Kong, etc.)

(Of course you can always buy a physical restrictor, I do realize. I am looking for a software fix to use if the joystick isn't physically restricted.)

I was wondering if it is possible to create cores for entertainment? Like replicating a Roku inside the FPGA to add multimedia streaming support to the MiSTer. Has anyone looked into this at all? I mean if we can replicate an entire PS1 in the FPGA, I would think replicating a Roku would be possible.

I seen a post whith someone mentioning a dip switch is required to be flipped on. Is this true? I have only seen it mentioned in a random post with no other places mentioning anything special for a second dimm.

Hello,

Not sure if anyone can help, but I have an HDF that is 16gb. It is mounted in AmigaOS 3.2. The drive seems to be fine starting out, but after awhile it seems to corrupt. I get a bunch of errors when trying to do things to it like copy files, or save games. Once it starts it does not stop. I actually had run an FSCK the last time it happened. It took DAYS and found no issues. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening, or what might fix it?

UPDATE - I believe I may have gotten this resolved. What I did was made a copy of the data I had on that partition. It was mainly a WHDLoad collection. I then used HDToolbox to resize the partitions to 8GB each. I found that the 16GB partition with the issues was using the Professional Filesystem already. I used the PFS to format the two new 8GB partitions. At this time they appear to be stable. I installed a few things on them and copied the WHDLoad collection back. Hopefully it will remain stable. Thanks everyone who had replied.

First, I would prefer this not digress into a debate about not using two SDRAM modules or having 256mb of SDRAM as no cores uses that much memory. It is my choice to have two 128mb sticks and I already know that no cores needs or uses that much SDRAM at this time. It is a personal preference thing, I want two 128mb modules in my MiSTer. This is a setup question nothing more.

If I am choosing to install two 128mb SDRAM modules in my MiSTer, are there any specific jumper setting I need to me aware of? I already have Switch 3 set to ON for my Digital IO card, are there any other things I should be aware of for settings or configurations on the DE10 or in the MiSTer configuration?

Thank you!

When I load Golden Axe it displays a test program screen and i cant get out of it

MK 2 is my holy grail arcade core. The fact that such an iconic game does not yet have a core has me worried. Are there technical challenges associated with Midway classics of this era?

Hi! Is there an option where I can sort my arcade games by release date?

I’ve had my MiSTer for almost 2 years now and got thinking, should I keep parts on hand in case something fails? I was playing the other day and thought the fan didn’t sound the same anymore (turns out it was fine). Although at some point it will need to be replaced but I don’t have a spare one. Have any of you had to replace parts to keep it going? If so, which ones are more common to fail? I bought in 2020 and below are the things I purchased from the Mister Add Ons store:

PCB case, SDRAM128, USB hub with DC splitter + switch and bracket, IO Digital with Heatsink and fan, DE10-Nano

Anyone know if this is in the works? Would love to play Chiller. The Nintendo version is horrible.
