I have very few complaints with the MiSTer, particularly from a technical perspective, however I have a large bone to pick with Sorgelig and other‘s on their forums, particularly in regards to cartridges. While the technical reasons for not using cartridges are valid (any implementation given I/O limitations would be equivalent to a Retrode, that is ripping a ROM + SAV only to rewrite the SAV and delete the rip), the childish anger I‘ve seen displayed towards cartridges is saddening and downright hypocritical. Have we really moved so far into a world of instant gratification that any minute not spent on entertainment is seen with vitriol and contempt? And yes, I know he‘s “seen these questions 100 times”, that’s also 100 times he chose to interact and waste everyone’s time being upset. If he’s not a social person, yet still responds to topics he doesn’t like, then that’s on him. Personally, I can hardly wait for an open source cartridge-ready FPGA option to appear, and am particularly excited for Taki Udon’s projects. Till that point, the MiSTer is just a cute but incredibly expensive toy. Not yet a serious option for preservation.
