I wouldn't hold my breath considering that Analogue was run off of the Neo communities for their shit overpriced CMVSs.
True, but an FPGA based one wouldn't be an overpriced CMVS is a environmentally sourced black walnut chunk of wood.
Considering how fast AliExpress sells out of those CBOX CMVS that are the same price as most FPGA consoles (AVS, Super NT, and Mega SG all are $180) it would sell amazingly. Especially if they got 8Bitdo to clone the CD pad, or made it also compatible with SNES controllers or something.
The only problem I see here is that Analogue, until now, made FPGA products based on consoles with expired hardware patents and no copyrighted BIOS. NeoGeo needs a BIOS tho, which is copyrighted and would need either a not user friendly “bring your own BIOS” policy or a completely reimplemented one.It can't be long until Analogue puts out a Neo Geo FPGA console. I feel like thats a super logical next step for them
Sometimes I get no sound, but a quick restart or mode change (Region/Arcade etc.) often brings it back.
I got a MiSTer this week.
Neo Geo core seems legit. I have played a couple of titles that I have never owned via the HDMI out and my computer's LCD with scanlines and gamma filters. It looks good and plays well. Stereo mix sounds great.
I want to score the complementary JAMMA edge kit this guy sells once they are in stock to try the MiSTer out in the Big Red.
I also need to try this on my PVM.
I fired up the Genesis core too and that also plays and sounds good.
I want to try the Sega CD next.
Jamma edge you say? Is this a plug and play solution?
Wasn't interested in the Mister until I heard that. Sounds easier than rigging up a solution to get random consoles plugged into a jamma cab.
Well, the JAMMA connector is plug and play, but with a catch.
Antonio Villena assembles both that variant of the MiSTer kit, and the corresponding JAMMA connector. His webstore is https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/
However, he uses his own proprietary serial protocol to handle the inputs, so his JAMMA connector only works with his customized MiSTer cores, and his customized "XXSV" MiSTer SDRAM memory modules. His customized cores sometimes lag behind the official cores on updates, and he also hasn't ported all of the official cores over either.
His unofficial core repository is here: https://github.com/antoniovillena/MiSTer_DB9
If you want to use the official MiSTer cores along with the generic hardware modules, your best JAMMA option at the moment is to use a J-PAC with 1ms USB polling.
Does anybody know if Antonio Villena's Mister DB9 Neo Core support all 4 face buttons? On the surface, it would seem that it only would support 3 given the number of pins but not sure if that's actually the case.
I don't have a definitive answer as I don't have one but why couldn't it support more than three buttons? The Genesis uses a DB9 and has six buttons.

Do you have the regular 'Drive' version or the 'Slim' that's out of stock currently. What's the primary difference between the two?
I've ordered MISTER and all the trimmings today and will report back :-)

I have the Slim.
The only differences I am seeing is that I have seven USB ports on the one side where as the Drive has five on the side and two internal plus room to accommodate an internal USB hard drive.
