Hmmm never received an email. Order said expected to ship end of November. I'll shoot them an email to see if there is a status thanks. Do check with The Retro Group. They are shipping as fast as possible, all the board only shipments went out in just a few days. If you ordered a cased system or deluxe kit it will most probably depend slightly on ...

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm really happy you feel it's a good system. We are listening to what the community wants in 2022 and beyond, all and any feedback is very much welcome, encouraged and needed. On the expansion port cover, (dust cover) this was originally a click-in fitting part, but some of the early testing indicated this was frustra...

I got mine yesterday and I have to agree with everyone else's reviews. The new board is very well designed and the quality of the 3D printed case is high. The fully assembled MMS feels dense and very solid. The only thing I would change right now is how the expansion cover is secured as it is very easy to remove or drop while moving the unit. This...

Fantastic! - great to hear it all went well. That's a really clean setup you have there, compact screen and wired controllers, good choice.

Cheers,

Richard.

Has the first batch started shipping out yet? I'm in the USA if it matters. Started shipping on the 26th. You should have received notice and a tracking number the day it shipped Hmmm never received an email. Order said expected to ship end of November.

Right. Mines here and assembled. Case feels nice and solid and both sides mate really well. Assembly is simple but can be fiddly when routing cables but it's very neat when put together. All in all I'm very happy with it.

Looking Good. MiSTer is so awesome.

I really hope you enjoy using the Multisystem.

In retro gaming the line between computers and consoles is a bit blurry at best. Some consoles had keyboards, some computers took cartridges.. let's just have fun with all the awesomeness MiSTer brings us. Even the Commodore 64 had a cartridge port and also a 'console' version that had no keyboard. MiSTer can handle everything, so regardless if yo...

Arrghh, realise it is not mini itx spaced. Seems a strange design choice not to stick to a standard. Has anyone received theirs yet and been able to fit it in a mini itx case? I ordered quickly out of fear of losing out, now it looks like I might be trying to reclaim my money back from selling it on on ebay. The PCB mounting holes could not be Min...

I’m curious about Sorgelig’s opinion on this thing. Has he said anything? What are you actually curious about? I contacted Alexey (Sorgelig) directly before we completed the initial prototypes. We always openly discuss the design here and anywhere anyone asks questions, we want to support and produce more for the MiSTer FPGA community, long-term p...

Thanks. Do you have USB pinout to USB adapters you can recommend? We used exactly the same standard 5 pin configuration as a PC motherboard for internal USB headers - sometimes they are dual (10 pin) but any standard internal 5 pin Single in-line USB cable should work, just check that one end has a ground and shield (ground) wires and the other en...

4 pin is for regular USB, 5 pin allows OTG. So for just hooking up the SSD drive 4pins are enough? No, The 5th Pin is the USB shield (connected to ground). If you have a cable with only 4 Single in-line pins they may not be shielded or they have put both the shield and GND into the same crimp pin connection. Ideally use the 5 pin connections / ada...

Yes, you can, as long as the SSD interface has a USB connection - so a SSD drive to USB adaptor enclosure or cable should work - you can then connect it to one of the internal USB connections. It will be seen in MiSTer as a mass storage drive on the USB Bus. Thanks. Do you have USB pinout to USB adapters you can recommend? We used exactly the same...

I was lucky to order on the first batch and can't wait it to be shipped on the 26th. Are there already high-res images of the board or may some king of owners manual for me to study ahead? :D The user manual, assembly guide and quick-start are all getting an update since the prototype build, so that's in progress. We also plan to have some short v...

MiSTer is an evolving project, we can do new things, but keeping a level of backwards compatibility is also really important.

Yes i watched this whole video before, and it did not really answer the question about dual sdram if maybe required in the future for new playstation 1 or sega saturn cores, just explained what would be lost with a dual sdram setup not actually if the mms board could install two modules in the version i can order now. so in simple terms my underst...

A 2 memory module is z. The result, for example, that the boards previously used there can no longer function in this form, because there are simply not enough IO pins for everything. Personally, I therefore think it is much more likely that great efforts will be made to prevent this from happening. I agree with you, and wish also for core develop...

Looking at the store link it says ' Expected shipping date for batch #2 is Q2 2022 ' so worst case for the second batch is a delivery date of up to 8 months away if I pay now? There is a worldwide electronic component shortage. We ordered all the components required for the first batch of 500 in Feb 2021 - These raw components were delivered to us...

Hi Everyone,

The second production batch of the MiSTer Multisystem is now up for pre-order if you want to get hold of one in 2022 -

Rats! By the time I got home it was too late. Hopefully these will be back in stock soon. Are you serious? are they already sold out in a few hours? Glad I placed a order in time then... We really thought that 500 would give us time to see what the demand was, but it was just much higher than we expected. We are in the process of making another bi...

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I don't own a MiSTer yet but am very interested. I'm especially fascinated to see how the Sega Saturn core turns out. If/when I do get one, I will definitely want this multisystem console setup. It looks amazing. We are trying to make sure we have enough filament and the right colours in stock for launch, any feedback...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick heads-up for the public launch of the MiSTer Multisystem. The preorder system for everyone goes live at 3:00pm UK time today (30th September 2021) - Over on https://rmcretro.store/mister-multisystem/ Neil had the Patreon launch last week and it went very well indeed, we are making a lot of systems, but demand is still much...

err... wait, do I understand correctly that RGB SCART doesn't require any fussy .ini manipulation? Shouldn't I need to enter specific core profiles etc.? If that's the case (pun intended), then count me in! The SCART port has a few little quality of life improvements over a standard VGA to SCART cable - You don't need to alter the mister.ini file ...

What type of plasic is used to 3D print the enclosure? I prefer the white variant (B) but I am a little concerned about its UV resistance. I don't want to end up with a yellowish case (years from now). It's PLA plastic (matte finish) for the 3D printed enclosure. This is a stable, strong and rigid plastic, should not be troubled by UV and colours ...

Using Memtest, what kind of frequencies are you getting as stable from the RAM? We have done a lot of memory testing and with the different batches built up so far we see around 140Mhz to 146Mhz. We have a very electrical heavy factory, lots of AC switching motors and various equipment so it's quite 'noisy' from a radiated and conducted emissions ...

Would buy definitely a white one :) Please let us know when we can order! Great, nice to see some interest in the White, I like it too. Neil is putting up pre-orders for patrons from next Thursday 23rd Sep, and then anyone can order the following week - Thursday 30th. Keep an eye on https://rmcretro.store/mister-multisystem/ for the order selectio...

It's exactly the same as the Analogue output of the MiSTer Analogue I/O board, so has the same depth, colour and compatibility.

We are trying to make sure we have enough filament and the right colours in stock for launch, any feedback on what colour and case style you prefer would be most appreciated, thank you.
