I didn’t think MiSTer was particularly concerned with accuracy like this project is? Just implementation on FPGA. Am I wrong there?

Am I wrong there?
- city41 3y agoIt depends on the core. For example Furrtek decapped the Neo Geo chips to write that core, and thus is extremely accurate.
- photonerd 3y agoGotcha. So core dependent basically, rather than a specific project goal? That tracks with what I thought. Great to know about the NeoGeo!
- city41 3y agoYeah, the MiSTer project is really just a loose collection of people with a loose common goal. So the true accuracy of cores does vary a lot. Most users don't really care, as long as they provide a pretty accurate experience. I think most MiSTer owners (myself included) prefer it over emulation due to having no lag. I also really like that the MiSTer does not buffer any writes, so there is no shut down. Just turn it off when you are done, allowing my setup to be very console-like.
- rbanffy 3y agoMy feeling is that it’s more reverse engineering than this, which aims to be an exact replica of the original.
