MiSTercade is the original JAMMA extension for MiSTer FPGA. Its best in class design has been enjoyed for more than two years around the world. Join club MiSTercade today!
Connect one MiSTercade to multiple cabinets with MiSTercade Versus (VS)!
Features:
-
Powered by the incredible GP2040-CE firmware, with average latency of just 0.8ms! Supports 8 buttons per player.
- One device, two configurations:
- Single SDRAM + HDMI + analog output (using analog DAC module in the form of an SDRAM - still in development)
- Dual SDRAM + analog output (HDMI jumper feeds direct video into MiSTercade)
- Accurate, dual/triple video output:
- 0.7V RGB via the HD15 port
- Full range, adjustable, 3.3V video output (same level as Neo-Geo MV1C) via the JAMMA edge
- HDMI port can be used for capture/HDTV usage or can be fed back into MiSTercade for direct video and dual SDRAM
- Crystal clear audio:
- i2s audio DAC
- 13.5W mono audio amplifier
- 3.5mm ,line-level stereo audio
- Digital audio via mini TOSLINK
- (SDRAM DAC module) Move DE10-nano switch SW0 towards middle of PCB for analog audio, leave it in outer position for mini TOSLINK
- Black, 4 layer, ENIG finish PCB with edge beveled JAMMA connector
- User I/O port
- 40mm fan
- Reset, User, OSD buttons
- Currently only JAMMA compatible (not JVS)
- All arcade cores have mappings for MiSTercade
- Unlike MAME, MiSTer doesn't have a standardize button layout for arcade cores. This means other MiSTer arcade solutions require mapping each game individually. I've done the heavy lifting for you and include an update script (below) to make future mappings just as easy. More than 2,100 mappings and counting!
