@GhaleonUnlimited Kinda reminds me a bit of the rabbit hole that is "the perfect mechanical keyboard".

@Scollurio most people can't, it's not just you. This is a very niche-within-niche-within-niche problem.

I was at an event last month where another company who does game trucks had Mario All-Stars and Emulators on a 65" HDTV, off of some kind of raspberry pi. The framerate was literally 30 fps and the people playing didn't seem to care lol.

FPGA is a very Emperor's New Clothes issue for most people, even most retrogamers I'd wager.

Personally I just want to always play stuff on hardware closest as what it was designed to be experienced on. Some of it is simply the emotional connection I have to a game when I own it and it's tangible. I'm buying a Neo Geo CD just for SamShoRPG and I have a Mister lol.

But it's just a real rabbit hole to go down for minimal perceivable benefit.

MK1 is great for nostalgia but plays like *****, cmon people! There are so many other things to be angry about lol.

If a Mister is the only way you can think of to play arcade MK1 then idk what to say.

IMO I think when people are taking money (patreon) for working on these cores (or anything hobby-esque), the creator is setting expectations they probably don't want. (Not that people are not demanding of people doing work for free, but it money makes it certainly a different thing).

No one should be sending death threats over 30-year-old videogames or anything, but people are going to kind of demand things when people are taking money to work on anything, let alone piracy.

I'm not saying "all piracy is evil" or "FPGA is bad" or anything, just being realistic about these kind of things.

Even with the response given here I still don't understand why Mame can't be used on MISTer. If they're doing vores gor every individual game you will never see full compatibility of games within your lifetime.

Why make threats?

If you feel soo passionately about it.... learn to F×#Ken code then!

BOOM

......MIC DROP

Games shouldn't equal death or death threats in real life ever!

@845H besides at the end of the day it's about the games!!

***** death threats shouldn't be an option to anyone..... because if they are that worked up about it, then they should learn to code and work thay ***** out themselves or sit quietly and wait for the work to be done and the tech to catch up with itself!

The funny thing is when all the drama calms down the instigators are always the same people. Like this current drama was started when Atrac tried to start an argument with Jotego and Pramod came in with his 10 cents. Then as always Pramod digs himself a hole he can't get out of and he limits his X account and starts crying he's being attacked.

To those who stay away from the FPGA community because of all the drama you should really ignore these articles because they just blow all of the so called drama out of proportion. I've been a fan of the mister and other FPGA platforms for a long time and if you stay out of the so called official discord and away from Atrac and Pramods socials theres no drama at all.

@Scollurio Exactly! Especially if its a game you're playing for the first time. I go easy on players who are revisiting their old school faves but then you need the same hardware to truly replicate it anyway.

@845H They own the MK IP. Anyway, I can't believe MK, of all things, can cause so much grief.

Manchildren are ruining these projects.

I'm sure somebody will do the right thing and make their own core.
