Re: Quartus synthesis hardware - 2024 edition!

they should definitely use it in benchmark, it's toasting my 5950x CPU everytime I fiddle with the ao486 core XD
When I upgraded from the 3900x to the 5950, I had a massive gain in Quartus, I don't know if it was IPC related or the core count but it was significant.

Re: MiSTer Pi

I was very excited about Taki's version, but I'm afraid it will remain in low availability for quite a while, and the price in Europe for the full kit (with taxes) and decent shipping is well above what I was hoping for (over 200 euros), so it’s no longer in the impulse-buy category, at least not for me I guess XD

The new episode is out! After 2 months of hard work, it's finally ready for release! Hope you guys enjoy it! The main 10-bit high-bitrate file will be available on Archive.org soon. It's probably not the final version, but it will be for now. I'm thinking of tackling the first Tomb Raider next. ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3bpZOH66Mk&t=1...

Am I the only one who had the MiSTer trigger a retro-collecting marathon, at least on the affordable stuff?

I know european versions crash less probably because they are running at a lower max framerates causing less memory issues? But notheless it would be nice to have patches for these versions as well, thanks for all the work here. Amazing!

Re: Lets actually try Hybrid Emulation

Not to be rude, but terms like 'Impossible' and 'pipe dream' always age poorly in the context of the MisterFPGA project. So, I'd refrain from being categorical on this topic too. Even if it's not used here, it might be developed for another project. Nothing is useless in the end.

I can confirm after testing, that Antonio's special ram is working properly now on all the game tested (10 games). No audio glitches to report and no crashes. I guess the ones who waited before buying a new kit got rewarded! (I'm not one of them sadly XD)

Re: Windows XP

The Ao486 actually runs great on the Mister, I've been using W98 on the Mister for more than a couple of years, never had any major issu and you don't need an FPU emulator either (it's to allow some extra games to run). Lu made very nice tutorials for that, so it's definitely not impossible and you can get many native win98 games to run. ( you just...

It's build for FPGA, it doesn't have an expiration date. The whole point of the FPGA community is that all the cores will be passed down generations and preserved forever with ease on the Mister or any ot...

Oh yes, I wouldn't use anything over a 1000mhz if you don't have a fan. Disclamer is in the script as well if I recall. With a fan the temp increase at 1.2ghz was around 1.5 degree on my setup after 2 hour. There is no voltage increase though so it's still very safe but I wouldn't recommand it without a fan. The expected gain in DosBox at 1.2ghz is...
