LGR - The MiSTercade (Patreon)
Content
It is once again time for some coverage of an exciting newish product in the retro scene: the MiSTercade. An excellent drop-in hardware emulation solution for JAMMA arcade machines!
Back when I got my Raiden II cabinet, I mentioned that I planned on taking a look at this one whenever I got the chance. And well, that time came a little sooner than expected since the MiSTer Addons website ended up getting the parts for a fresh batch not long after I posted that episode. So as soon as I got the "now in stock" waiting list email I jumped on the opportunity to buy a full kit.
Annnnd no surprise, this thing is fantastic. Sure it may not have the massive gamecount and customization offered by a JAMMA-equipped Raspberry Pi or PC solution, but what it does offer is next level accuracy and low latency vintage gaming that nothing else can currently touch. I was already excited about the future of the MiSTer in general, and now it's even more so with the arcade side of things! Shame about the added cost at the moment but yeah, supply chains and blah, so it goes for now.
I hope that this proves useful to some of you, or if nothing else kind of entertaining. I'll be putting something together for next week here soon but then after that I'm hitting the road again to do things at VCF Midwest in Illinois! Yay! It's such a fun show and I look forward to seeing a number of y'all there again :)
