Interview With MiSTeX Creator Hans Baier

I recently had a conversation with Hans Baier, a developer who's created a framework that allows the MiSTer FPGA project to be ported to different hardware platforms. Hans is approaching this in a way that will NOT fork or fracture MiSTer, but instead embrace it's current software. This work has the potential to increase both the project's longevity past the DE-10, as well as open up some pretty unique opportunities. Check it out for lots more info!

Interview: Introducing FGCOS (Alpha)

I recently sat down with Arturo Sanchez to discuss his latest project:  An “Optimized System” package, designed to significantly lower the latency of Windows operating systems.  This was obviously designed with the Fighting Game Community in mind, however this will lower the latency of any software, including software emulators.  While it’s still in the “alpha” state, it’s extremely promising and this “*OS Package” could be a game-changer for all eras of PC video games! Follow Art:  https://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby Perfect Legend‘s Thoughts on the Alpha:  https://perfectlegend.net/2023/03/05/arturos-pc-optimization-is-real-the-fgc-os/ Hard Drive Cloning Guide:  https://www.retrorgb.com/clonezilla.html As always, these long-form podcasts are also available as a video, links on the main page:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-sebastian-from-there-oughta-be.html Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html T-Shirts: https://www.retrorgb.com/store.htmlAll equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb *Please remember:  “OS Package” = Optimized System package / installer.  Not “Operating System”.  Also, if you’d like to hear more about Art’s history and his contributions to the scene, please check out the other interviews we did:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-arturo-aka-sabin.html

Turn on the ps1 with both memory cards (the pro and the card with the save you want to move) plugged in, with your MemCard Pro in slot 1. Choose the game of the save you want to copy on xstation and allow the memcard pro to create a virtual card for the game. Now, Turn your ps1 off, open the tray, leave it open so the xstation isn’t read, and turn your ps1 back on. You should eventually be at the blue screen with the access to memory cards and cd player. Choose memory card. Your memcard pro is still on the last game that was played- the title of the last game should still be on the memcard pro’s screen…..so take the save from that game in memory card slot 2, and just copy the save over to the memcard pro. Once it’s copied, turn off the ps, close the tray, turn on the ps, and select the game on x station. When you go to load your game, or auto load in some cases, it will work! Do this per game. Don’t put saves of other games in. This eliminates the need of taking out the sd card to use on the computer, and not needing to look up the serial number for the game either! 07:37  Bluetooth controller adapter for wired controllers? 09:45  How to bounce back from a modding L 15:17  Bluetooth Transmitter for using Retro Consoles with BT Headsets:  https://amzn.to/3CbA25s Decent ADC?:  https://amzn.to/3CaqOq7 19:58  PS2 Controller to USB adapter, for Final Fantasy?  This looks suspect, but at under $10, maybe worth a try?:  https://amzn.to/3CaYAM6 Bluetooth Adapters on MiSTer Page:  https://www.retrorgb.com/mister.html 23:03  PS2, Dreamcast & GameCube via RetroNAS Need a DC & MODE to start testing with RetroNAS.
