And I have loads and loads of carts for Genesis, SNES and NES. Whatever a man's preference about which system to use, that's what's right for him. Even with controller adapters and a hypothetical loading slot, using a MiSTer in this manner is still an inelegant experience in comparison.

I use the MiSTer for playing games on consoles I never had a chance to play back in the day, but I only use my Mega Sg (and very occasionally original hardware) to play Mega Drive and 32x games, even if the games themselves are sometimes ROMs on a flashcart, simply because there's still a lot to be said, for me, in favour of physically loading cartridges and using the same controllers the system came with. So am I, the point was how MiSTer can be "the only device retro game collectors would ever need", which, in my opinion it is not, as both original hardware and Analogue systems bring to the table things that MiSTer does not, not without substantially more modifications than most people would bother with considering aforementioned alternatives.įor example I wouldn't get rid of neither my original hardware nor Analogue consoles just because my MiSTer can play the same games (and many more) just as well, if not better. The devs have their priorities and this just doesn't seem like a pressing issue. But saying it's easy is downplaying it a bit. Is it far from the hardest thing ever? Absolutely. To add support for this would likely entail a somewhat significant change to Main, to the Linux image, to the framework (Template_MiSTer), and to each of the cores (update their sys). Then load the game? Dumpers are kinda slow, this will take a lot longer than just loading the ROM, each time you do it, but if you are fine with that, that's okay. So if you want it to read the ROM that is on the cart, that means you would want it to look to USB storage, then load that ROM into memory or to a temporary storage location, etc. I've dumped most of my collection on a Retrode 2, so speaking from experience, it won't be a very pleasant experience to use one with the MiSTer. This is because aftermarket cartridge slots just aren't as good, and the cartridges are old and fading fast. Many times users have to plug and unplug, and try over and over, until it gets a proper ROM that matches the crc32 of no-intro, for instance. The Retrode frequently does bad reads of the cartridge. How simple? What kind of support are you talking about? Here's a few problems that I personally see with adding support for this: I think a MiSTer can scratch more classic gaming itches as accurately as possible than any other alternative, but it can not (and is not meant to) cater to the specific demands of certain collectors and nostalgics who either want a totally authentic experience (original hardware and a CRT) or an “authentic” experience but with fewer rough edges (Analogue consoles or original hardware with a DAC and an HDTV), which does not reflect negatively on it. I mean, I don’t really see why one would want to go into trouble of adding cartridge and controller adapters to simulate a specific console to a system that is, by its nature, versatile, when both original hardware and off-the-shelf new alternatives like Analogue are more readily available for less money. A MiSTer with dedicated adapters for both cartridges and controllers is unlikely to win out in the eyes of a collector as it has no collector value of its own, unlike original hardware, and wouldn’t simulate the original experience as easily or cheaply as an Analogue console would. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, just that the collectors are more likely to care at least as much about the nostalgic experience as they are about convenience.
