The MISTer stuff is a bit of a moving target, and although it wasn't the primar reason - keeping the GPIO pins available is IMHO a good thing.Since the memory question came up, have you seen this project from aje_fr: https://www.neo-arcadia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=74689
It appears to incorporate 128MB on the interface board directly, not a separate module.
The only thing I think is missing on his version are outputs for unamplified audio.
It will be super interesting for me to see how my SDRAM module actually performs with memtest, scope probing etc. Should be getting the prototype PCB next week, and I hope the weird pin connector from china shows up in the mail soon.I think you should avoid manufacturing and selling SDRAM modules - their design is a moving target as the latest CPS1.5 and CPS2 cores reveal timing issues with the older PCB layouts. There's a very high risk of you getting stuck with unsold inventory.
As for the push-type DC connector, it would be nicer if power was supplied through the hat pins like the other JAMMA solutions out there IMHO, but it's not a deal-breaker either. It's unobtrusive and functional.
Clearance is more than adequate, I'll try to snap some pics illustrating it before release.edit: probably stupid question of me but the cable connected right over the jamma edge doesn’t cause any issues on cabs with thicker jamma connectors? Or standard ones for that?
Yeah I assumed you had already thought of it, but thanks for taking your time snapping some pics Again please add me to the list heheClearance is more than adequate, I'll try to snap some pics illustrating it before release.
Just the main board, and the memory module on top of the product in the thread I believeHello im new to the mister,
quick question im looking to buy a mister and i want to use it with the jamma board your doing on a vewlix.
what do i need to buy on the mister side
The main board ofcourse but should i buy the usb board that go on the bottom or the standard i/o board or the digital i/o board?
should i just buy a complete mister?
