Coury and Try go over what it's like to get started with the MiSTer FPGA project in 2022 - the parts you need, the processes required to set it up, what you need to do to get great audio and video, and what kinds of fun things you can do with the many console, computer, handheld, and arcade cores! You might just see that it isn't nearly as hard as you thought it was!

    The comment about the lack of N64 core for a decade has aged like fine milk.
  • @sneakingelephant
    Also a heads up for everyone looking to buy/make one. Don't buy from a scalper unless you absolutely need one now. The DE-10 Nano is always being made and coming back in stock. Patience will save you a ton of money
  • I had a really difficult childhood in a not very structured familly and the opportunity of revisiting all the good (only) memories that my broken NES and my favourite arcades gave to me is like putting all the good moments in a little box and treasure them for good. Thanks.
  • @Carbine64
    "We'd be here for another 15 hours if we gave each and every one a deep dive". You guys are one of the few creators that I wouldn't mind the idea of watching 15 hours of them talk about technical information. Excellent video, and keep up the good work!
  • @AyeYoYoYooo
    These dudes make the most sincere, detailed, comprehensive, informative and descriptive videos possible, in the retro game scene. Props! 🤙🏽
  • @steve43ful
    THANKS for warning people about the “Switch to USB” menu option, they should just get rid of that or hide it in a submenu or something.

    I bought a mister last year and it changed my life in so many ways. I honestly didn't even understand what a CRT television did but I bought the full mister kit with analog board just the same. Realizing I had paid extra for the mister with analog output inspired me to actually get a CRT tv to "try it out," and now I'm all the way down the rabbit hole. Fast forward to today and I now own a 27" JVC D Series CRT television, rotatable LCD screens for tate games, and even a home built arcade cabinet to plug the mister into. I have retired my PSP dock and PSP TV now thanks to the core updates. I have even gotten into collecting classic controllers such as the SNES mouse, light guns, a negGcon, and more. This has been an adventure and it's still going. I could keep telling stories for pages and new stories are still being made.
  • @Voultar
    This was an AMAZING episode. Great work & strap on always!
  • @Chariblaze
    1:32:20 This single NES audio comparison is what I love about watching MLiG! Perfect snippet to compare -- familiar song, and a part that lends itself well to looping. The timing of the changes is so right, it's as if it was a real nine second repetitive NES loop heh. And the attention to detail of using the four characters for the four samples.. 👍
  • @sneakingelephant
    This is one of the biggest deep dives I've seen on the Mister. I want to aspire to be as thorough as you guys one day. The amount of work and dedication you put into making videos is insane. The amount of B-roll you shoot, all the sound effects and music you layer, all the transitions, it's mind boggling. Bravo!
  • @RedWolfy7
    This is the one that's going to cement your legacy as great game preservationists for years to come. You can really tell that this video was a sincere labor of love not only because of its mammoth length but because the nerdy glee that radiates from your presentation of the systems nuance and cores is very infectious. I'm proud of you two and also proud to support you guys. Great job!
  • @fr.joshmayer3593
    Funny experience I had with MiSTer (as a someone who is fairly non-technically inclined) is that I had tried rpi before and couldn’t get my head around how to utilize it well… all these different images available etc, I never really got it going. But when I grabbed my first MiSTer a couple years ago it clicked right away. I’ve found it really straightforward to use and the community has been so awesome with any questions or issues I ran up against.
  • @SteveWellsNZ
    Madness. Fantastic video, thanks guys, I've been digging into the MiSTer pretty heavily for a few months, but this still gave me lots of new information to look at, cheers!
  • @DeanRands
    Oh, nice. This caught me by surprise. Looking forward to watching (it might take me a few sessions), but thanks for the effort you put into it - I hope you both get some time to chill out
  • @abc123def98
    You guys are so awesome! You are literally making full movies on these topics, and it's so so much appreciated!
  • @MurmuringJoey
    This is such a phenomenal deep-dive. It's informative, entertaining, and approachable- your work here has sparked my interest in a project and community I may never have found otherwise. Thank you!
  • @tilla77
    I own most retro consoles but I love the mister and its versatility. Just the amount it does in such a small footprint along with having the ability to scale when using a monitor that supports 480p is awesome. Built some controller boards for old joysticks and pads for minimal lag and the experience is no different from the real thing and in many cases the pixel clarity, through RGB, looks better to me. The fact too that it has such a large dev community makes it incredibly exciting as new implementations come out. I'd say its my device of the decade.
  • I just want to say that the way you sync up the music to the intros to your videos is fantastic. The "my life in gaming" theme is iconic. Always gets me hyped for the rest of the video 😊
  • @ctrlaltrees
    Fantastic stuff as always. The definitive guide to MiSTer. Thanks so much for putting in the huge amount of work that must have been required for this! 👍
  • @Newsdee
    Amazing work! I like that you included computer cores even if to only show the tip of the iceberg. There is so much to explore and discover, and MiSTer makes it really simple to go through them!
