Awful sound?

I've just got my DE10 board and I have nothing else. In order to try out the MiSTer I installed and updated Mr fusion, transferred some Mega Drive roms (because this core runs without any RAM expansion), launched the core and... my god the sound is awful, it's bad not only compared to the original console, but to emulation too! The audio sort of tr...

Re: Standalone SNAC and RAM

Look at the schematic instead of the layout. It’s on GitHub and can be opened on the Altium online viewer website. Screenshot-193.png Screenshot-194.png These ones? I'm still not sure about what to do. I can still only identify the top 4 traces. Also, in the bottom overlay there are these spots called RN12 and RN13 and I'm not sure what to make of...

Re: Standalone SNAC and RAM

If I were you and wanted to keep this spartan, I would buy a USB3.0 breakout board with some header wires . Thanks, that's exactly what I need, you saved me a lot of searching and uncertainty. You're missing the other side of the board, perhaps open the main layout/schematic file in the appropriate software. The other side is this: download-1.png ...

Re: Standalone SNAC and RAM

I'm not aware of any commercial ones, though I think I've seen people say they've wired their own SNAC port directly into the GPIO pins. I can't be of any specific help there, and unless you can find someone that's done it do provide details, you'd have to reverse engineer a solution from the IO board PCBA design. OK, thanks. You've been helpful a...

Re: Standalone SNAC and RAM

Thanks. What about the SNAC, aren't there any standalone adapters?

Standalone SNAC and RAM

Hi, I just bought a DE10-nano and thanks to all the advancements in the MiSTer project I don't think I'll need an IO board (also because I have to put the DE10 inside an A600 chassis and I'm not sure about the clearance), but I feel that I still need at least a SNAC port, is there a standalone SNAC available? If it is, how do I attach it to the DE1...
