Dual ram. Got my mister about a month ago and have been learning a lot form your videos I appreciate all your work!
Glad they are of use
Dual ram. Thanks as always for the vids, they really help me stay up to date with what's going on with FPGA.
Always happy to do them. Lotta fun to talk about
Dual RAM. Thanks for the video and breaking down the use cases and benefits of a dual RAM setup. I don't use the analog I/O board much anymore since my CRT died, so it might be worth exploring this option. Hopefully more cores continue adding support.
Always happy to do it. Love talking tech
Thanks for another video. They’ll always have something meditative to it, really relaxing. Would love to update to DUAL RAM , I’ve build my MiSTer using your analogue tutorial 😊 not too long ago.
All the best. C.
Glad people find them relaxing
Dual RAM !! Thanks a million for your hard and high quality work on your channel. Exciting times for FPGA retro-gaming too!
Always happy to do the vids. They are fun
Dual RAM: This is a great guide! I just purchased a DE10-Nano and it was really helpful to use as a guide when I put it together. Can't wait to start playing some retro games!
Welcome to the MiSTer club!
Dual Ram.
This is just what I need to complete my Mister setup. I look forward to playing Mortal Kombat 1 + 2, especially.
Thanks for the awesome videos again this year!
👍
Thanks for this video! much appreciated!
Also, what a nice coincidence! I just got a second 128MB RAM module for my digital mister FPGA, searched youtube for installation instruction and found a fresh new video on the topic!
Also, I didn't know you can create that loop power connector, I have a power splitter (like the one shown in this video's analog setup).., gonna go check where to get that loop connector
MiSTerAddons has them
Dual ram, hey man thanks for the video very informative. I actually dont have a mister setup yet, but just found out about it earlier today and have been looking at purchasing i will definetly be building on for myself in time for the holidays.
Def worth picking up. So much fun
Dual RAM. Thanks for keeping us updated on all the MISTer content and core development.
Happy to do it
Dual Ram! Love your vids! Thanks for keeping everyone updated!
👍
@VideoGameEsoterica Also love your dry wit. Keep up the deep cut vids, too!
Haha glad someone notices the sly jokes here and there
Dual ram! Great content as usual! Looking forward to getting a mister for Christmas.
I know it wasn't specifically asked for in this video but i would like to see more game footage of the n64 core running games with most, or maybe all, filters off. Whatever the set up is to get that sort of ps1 look to n64 games. I find that a very interesting niche use for this core. Again, thanks for all the great content.
I’ll show more N64 footage like that soon
Dual RAM. Your voice is always so soothing to listen to when I'm watching your videos. Thank you so much for putting up great content as always.
Haha people always say that. I don’t hear it
Dual RAM. Thanks for the video! Love my MiSTer, got my kit from Mister Addons. Great setup!
He sells a good product for sure
Dual Ram. Love your videos. Really looking forword to building one of these
Glad you enjoy
i bought my Mister a while ago and it was just collecting dust at the moment....I was looking at the Dual Ram upgrade for a particular setup. Thanks for this video
Glad to do it. But don’t let it gather dust!
@@VideoGameEsoterica I know! Just so many projects and so little time.
Hahaha oh trust me I know. I’ve got arcade boards in my floor waiting for harness work
This is great I was wondering about the dual ram setup
👍
Really awesome vid thank you, still on the fence if I should get a mister or get a crt I can’t get both decisions decisions
MiSTer
Dual RAM! I've been subscribed and have all notifications set for your channel because you put out a lot of quality content! Thanks so much for being awesome 🎉
Appreciate it!
Dual ram! Amazing! I’m just about to build my own and want to make sure everything is shipped together.
Best of luck. Winner announced tomorrow
Dual RAM . Thanks for the info very educational, I am still trying to get a MisterFGA but have just been taken for a ride by a roofer! so I now have to save up again!
Ouch. Roofs aren’t cheap that’s for sure
Your videos are always informing and awesome. A DUAL RAM setup would be cool. I already have a digital io from misteraddons and looking to put another ram chip on.
Glad you find them informative
Dual RAM! Thank you so much for publishing guides like this.
Happy to do it
Dual Ram. Thanks for the videos. Look forward to each notification!
Glad you enjoy em
Dual Ram. Good luck everyone and thanks for the build guide!
👍
Dual Ram. Love the video as I am looking to upgrade soon
👍
Dual RAM Thanks Love these videos Hopefully more cores continue adding support.
I’m sure more cores are on their way
Dual ram. Appreciate your videos and thinking of your community 🙌
Thanks :)
Dual RAM! As ever great video. A comparison of single RAM and dual RAM for the Saturn core would be interesting to see what difference it makes 👍
That’s a good idea. I’ll look into that :)
Dual RAM! Keep up the great work with the videos! Would love to get a dual RAM so that I can continue to use all the upcoming cores.
Best of luck
Dual Ram 😎 can wait to see what else it can emulate in the future. Also never truly had a saturn, a good opportunity to discover so gems. Cheers love your channel ✌️
Glad you enjoy the channel
Dual RAM. Love seeing new build videos.
👍
Dual RAM. I got the analog board for my Mister when I bought it from mister addons just to have the option to hook it up to my CRT. I've ran it thru digital the whole time, but now that I've seen the cores that are hopefully coming up, I wish I'd gone with the digital board. Thanks for the chance!
Happy to give you the chance. Best of luck
DUEL RAM Thanks for everything you do for the Mister community!
👍
Dual Ram! Thanks for the good content. Would love some targeted videos on n64 or other cores that might need dual ram in the future
I’ll def be doing some in 2024
Love the tag team effort of both dog and cat pen today. (chef's kiss)
I don't even think I could use a dual ram build since I'm using a RetroCastle MiSTer. Hope whoever wins it enjoys it!
It’s the whole barnyard come to life!
Dual RAM! I love my single RAM build and have been very tempted to go up to dual RAM for that Saturn core.
It’s fun to test back and forth
Dual RAM will be so interesting to see what comes in cores in the future!
Yes it’ll be fun to see what 2024 brings
Dual Ram! Thanks for all the informative videos!!
Happy to do it!
Dual ram. It would be great to have another mister FPGA laying around. Definitely would get some love at my house. Thanks for the videos.
I have way too many now lol
Dual RAM! No idea how to build this but I love your video!
Glad you enjoyed
Dual RAM- thanks so much for all the great MiSTer FPGA content!
👍
Dual RAM!!! Thank you for the awesome giveaway! :)
👍
Dual ram, love everything you put out.
Appreciate that
Dual Ram
Hello to everyone here, we have 6 kids and all of my family are not retro gaming. This channel as slowly but surely become one that we seem to watch everyday - we usually watch it on my sons TV as all of his algorithms show all FPGA.. good job to you all..
Appreciate it
Dual RAM, thank you for making these great educational videos for Misterfpga
Always happy to do it
Dual RAM! Awesome videos, this is an amazing project!
It really is!
Dual RAM. Keep that cadence of videos up! Thank you
You are welcome
Dual ram ! …. Used to love the arcade pcb videos but this is all good too. Brilliant work, sub ages ago… top man
Arcade pcb video tomorrow at 7:30 am lol. I just gotta space them out. It’s not every month I can get another rare game in (but tomorrows pcb is exceedingly rare)
Dual RAM. Thank you for these videos!
👍
DUAL RAM!! I got my Mister last week it would be perfect :) Anyway please keep up the great coverage.
Plenty more coming!
*DUAL RAM , these videos are awesome !* keep up the good work bro 💪
Plenty more coming!
Dual ram! What i really like about the dual ram io board is having a full size spdif port, it's much preferable to having that popping sound when booting a new game or core when using analog audio
That makes total sense with the pop. Although I get a tiny bit over hdmi with my capture setup too sometimes
Thanks for the MiSTer FPGA giveaway! Love watching these videos, can't wait for saturn and n64 cores to be 100% completed. I wonder what else is considered an "impossible core" for the mister project....
There is no real mention of any more “impossible cores” currently
I was contemplating going for a 2nd Mister to go with the RetoTink 4K but with that costing quite a lot a nice startup would be nice to go with a digital Dual RAM setup. 😎
That would be a super good use for it for sure
Ive been temped to get a mistercade mostly for the consolization of the mister, instead of the PCB sandwich that I already have. But I don't have any hardware that would use the Jamma connection. I just like the form factor it provides. Do you already have a retrotink 5x or OCSC? I'm just curious how much that would add when the mister already has so many video options available. Is scaling that much of a night and day difference? Im playing on an LCD, my computer monitor usually, I also have a Sony HD CRT but I havent messed with the CRT much yet.
I use a Framemeister personally still. Will grab a Tink4K tomorrow if they don’t all get scalped by bots
Dual Ram, your guides are excellent
Appreciate that
Dual Ram- Thank you for your generosity!!
DUAL RAM
N64 was favorite console growing up so love all the N64 videos and where it's at.
It’s been a ton of fun getting all the N64 stuff lately
Sign me up for the DUAL RAM haha. My brother has a minimalist setup without any addon boards (besides a basic ram chip) and I'm sure he would appreciate a proper I/O upgrade. Great video as always 👍🍻
Got it!
Dual Ram. I’m interested in a dual ram setup. I’m sure it will have more use in the near future with how things are going.
Yes I think it’ll get utilized more in 2024
Dual RAM ! Thanks for the great videos!
👍
Dual RAM. This would be great. The De-10 Nano has almost doubled in price in the last few years so this would be a great discount on getting a Mister setup. Thanks!
Inflation hasn’t been kind
Dual RAM. Now we're upgrading our MiSTers, how far we've come! exciting times, where will computing go next?
We shall see
DUAL RAM!!! I'd love to play MK1 and 2. That'd be incredible. Love your MiSTer news coverage. So hard to keep up with the pace of development these days.
It’s hard to keep up even for me
Dual RAM. Yet another great video!
👍
Dual Ram! Awesome giveaway VGE and MisterAddon!
👍
Dual RAM. Thanks for having the giveaway, this would take the MiSTer to the next level!
Happy to do it
Dual RAM. Great video thank you! :D I suspect something like the Jaguar core if ever done, would need Dual RAM?
Yes that would need dual ram
I never owned one but when I grew up over here in the UK back in the day there was a TV show called Bad Influence (worth googling) and they made the Jaguar look amazing to young me. @@VideoGameEsoterica
Dual RAM!Thanks for the Video😀
Happy to do it
DUAL RAM
Really love my Retrocastle MiSTer with the built in power switch, can't understand how this wasn't a thing with other more popular builds. If a dual ram digital i/o build lets me have that power switch along with access to a few more arcade boards, though, sign me up
An extra power switch is a good time
Dual Ram! Always love your videos I don’t care what any says about you I really hope we get a 3do core one day.
So do i!
Dual RAM ftw. Thank you for this. I will start saving up my coffee money for a Mister esp with the Mars sounding like it'll be double the price.
Happy to do it
Dual Ram, great video as always
Thanks!
Dual RAM!!! Really looking forward to the Saturn core
👍
Dual RAM
Love these videos. The N64 ones alone have been my bread an butter over the last few weeks.
Doing the N64 vids has been the most fun for me in the last few months
@@VideoGameEsoterica I recall how _adamant_ people were about the N64 being a "never gonna happen" and I just assumed they were right and here we are....
And here we are!
Dual RAM. I've only got the DE10-Nano so far, but hoping to get a full setup and be able to run more than the GBA and Genesis cores soon :)
Best of luck!
Dual RAM
Thanks for the info
👍
Dual Ram. Thanks as always.
Welcome as always
Dual RAM. great vid!
Glad you enjoyed
Dual Ram. Was already considering a second DE10 nano to build a dual ram direct video setup before Mars was announced.
Always good to have two
Dual RAM is the RAM for MiSTer me! My MiSTerFPGA ownership confirmation is on X under your post. 😅
Thanks to @MisterAddons for sponsoring this giveaway, too.
Porkchop is good people. Even if he does think Big Trouble in Little China is better than Escape from NY
@justin_STL RNG has smiled greatly upon you. Your name was selected by the RNG generator and you have won the IO board and RAM. Check the community post on my page for more info!
@@VideoGameEsotericaI did?! AWESOME!! You just don't know how thrilled I am to win that, dude! Thanks again to you, Porkshop, and the Digital Gods. 🤩
You did! I’ll be in touch for shipping info
Dual RAM DualRAM Duel RAM. ;)
It would come in really handy for me since my current 128MB module isn’t compatible with the single channel Saturn core. It’s an Antonio Villena 4-chip and all 4-chip modules have that issue.
Anyway, those rubber feet were included with the DE10-Nano for me… not included by MiSTer Add-Ons.
Ahh that’s right you had that chip didn’t you
Dual RAM 🐏🐏
Love the videos, thanks so much for all of your hard work 🙌
Happy to do it
I like how the addon boards are open source and you can build your own for a fraction of the price of prebuilt ones. With a Dual RAM build, the price adds up. I will miss CRT RGB though.
You can still do analog via direct video
Great tutorial as usual! I am hoping I can win the Dual RAM and Digital I/O board for a friend who just let me borrow his MiSTer for North East Championships! Our fighting game locals have a few amazing folks who bring MiSTer setups and are kind enough to allow us to use them and I myself am finding it harder to resist as a SNES fighting game fan looking for ways to make my setups more easily used for tournaments. Thank you!
Best of luck :)
Dual RAM. Thanks for the heads-up about Dual Ram setups being necessary for some upcoming arcade cores.
That’s what I’m here for
Dual ram! i enjoy all videos about the mister. easy and practical console you'll built.
Glad you enjoy
Dual ram! Always interested on where the mister fpga project will go. Curious on what will be done when we reach the de 10's limit. And wether the main dev community will adopt another fpga with some more room or not. I know other projects exist out there.
There will be a MiSTer 2 one day when it’s needed
DUAL RAM - I’ll have to swap out my analog board but I’m excited to see what the future of dual RAM holds.
I bet dual ram becomes more important in 2024
@@VideoGameEsoterica can’t wait. Such an amazing project already. Would have blown my mind as a kid to know that this was even possible.
Still blows my mind today
I'd give a Dual RAM setup a shot. I'd have to change up my setup. Right now I'm going from VGA to component on my Sony KV-36FS13. I'm afraid to move it to my LG C3 since I may never put it back on the CRT. lol
Haha well go direct vid. Best of both worlds
Dual RAM! Would really like to build a new setup for the new Dual RAM cores, especially since I’ve moved my setup to a flat panel TV recently.
I have a dedicated dual ram for my 4K tv
Dual RAM!! Love the TO run Advance CORES.
👍
Dual Ram great video !
DUAL RAM. Thank you MiSTer Addons. Also thanks Awbacon/VGE for all your videos; I look forward especially for ones about the MiSTer FPGA. I don't care what anyone else says, I think you're OK :)
Haha don’t use my own jokes against me
DUAL RAM
I currently have an analog IO board but have been wanting to upgrade and change to dual ram for trying the Saturn core as well as things possibly to come.
Fingers crossed for you!
@@VideoGameEsoterica Thanks! Me too! 😆 🤞
I had no idea that more than 128 mb ram was an option. I have the analog version of the io board along with a metal mister case. Looks like a new case will also have to be a consideration for me when I decide to upgrade. 🤑
You can change the IO plate and do dual ram
@@VideoGameEsoterica I see what you mean. Found it on Mister Addons! Thanks.
Dual Ram!
I need one of those kits!
👍
Dual ram. Thank you sir.
👍
My kids are always asking me how to save and load game saves in the various cores. Please consider making a howto video that shows how to do it with the various cores that support it. My older son was playing Banjo-Toioie and inside the game it saved a few times, but I guess that doesn't work... and that it is a manual operation. I've seen various written instructions for a few other cores but they weren't ever clear. I think for some CD-based games, they have to be in folders in order to save? I think you'd be doing the community of novice users a great service with such a tutorial video.
You need to open the OSD before quitting the core to save in Tooie
@@VideoGameEsoterica - Other than turning the system off while still in the core (which wasn't done), you have to open the OSD to quit the core in the first place, right? I'm sure he did that yet no save game. Do N64 games have to be in separate folders?
No they all save to one. Perhaps he had the pak set to a diff setting? Tooie saves automatically to the default save setting. Tell him to make sure autosaving is turned to “on” too
Dual ram! I could use that for my extra de10 nano
👍
