Hands On With Mars FPGA - A Powerhouse FPGA Retro Console

We take a look at the new Mars FPGA, a FPGA console ready to take on many of its competitors for a more affordable price.

Waiting to see what the final MARS hardware and software is like. That article seems light on the "hands on" details.

Just used this script to migrate to a larger SD card: https://github.com/Natrox/MiSTer_Utils_Natrox/blob/main/scripts/migrate_sd.sh
All's well, except I'm unable to find: batrider, bakraid, garegga

Pretty sure nothing's changed in the updater hmm

 

[kernow]

Everything else is fine too
Just can't see those in the list and can't work out how to add them back

 

[kernow]

/media/fat/games# find . -name *batrider* -or -name *bakraid* -or -name *garegga*
./mame/batrider.zip
./mame/bbakraid.zip
./mame/bgaregga.zip
/media/fat/games#

..weird - can't see them on the frontend menu

 

[kernow]

Sorted, just deleted the db and ran update all again

 

[GohanX]

Fuck I'm behind, I didn't even know there were cores for those games, I don't update mine that often. I should probably poke around the Arcade section a bit more to see what's up, I've mostly been playing Super Nintendo and Goobesis lately.

I hope!

hell yea let's double the size of my mister

Only thing mister needs improvement on is uniformity. Having usbs on all sides is shit due to the addons.

Get something like an ironclad



The hacked in wire sticking out is not part of the ironclad, I added that to allow powering it on/off from a button on my cab's CP

Which case did you use for that, @city41?

I used this one

It's pretty good. It's a tight fit, but doable.

Any chance of pics of the innards? Ive got a naked MiSTer (the 3 board level thing, DE-10, USB hub, tophat thing). I want to see how all that is slapped in there.

Not too bad. The big bundle of wires at the back is from the power supply. That could certainly be shortened but I didn't bother.

The ironclad replaces all the add ons, so that helps a lot.

Oh and this pic is from before I added the fans on the left side.

May as well add some logos for Alienware and Mountain Dew while we're at it.

Mite be cool directly from our resident half camel schizo. Especially if it puts a dent in all these patreon paymeton shenanigans. Calamity is pure unlike these other developers!

Reminds me of the early days of raspberry pi when you had to have a bunch of different dongles on the board.
