Retro gaming is a popular hobby, and though software emulation is available, it can't beat the experience of actual consoles - and that's where MiSTer comes in.

The MiSTer FPGA paired with a CRT is my favorite retro gaming setup to talk about, but it's costly and involved. Let's take a look at another option for classic game preservation and replication.

Towards the latter end is emulating the hardware with an FPGA which the open-source MiSTer project attempts to do. This build, though, adds ATX capabilities for the retrocomputing platform .

In this latest episode of HotHardware's Two And A Half Geeks we discuss AMD's Threadrippper 3990X, the Galaxy S20, Acer's 43' Predator, Best 144Hz GPUs, MiSTer Retro Gaming, and much more!

As measured by MiSTer Addons and contributed to by many retro enthusiasts, they frequently add less than 5 milliseconds, which means they almost always process input within the same frame.

[Eric] likes his vintage gaming, and was terrifically pleased with MiSTer, an open-source project that recreates various classic computers, game consoles and arcade machines using modern FPGA ...
