Just use a wireless mini keyboard instead, since with a lot of arcade cores, especially new ones you need to map the controlls it's super handy. Since most of them are 2.4ghz they work even inside metal candy cabs no problems.

Does anyone know how to get 24khz out of analogue video output from mister fpga ? What do I need to change in mister.ini Only need this for sega model 2 core.

IS the core called model2?? - if not swap the core name into the square brackets.
Its native 24 so i reckon you just 0 all the mister signals out apart from sync option.
[Model2]
vga_scaler=0
forced_scandoubler=0
direct_video=0
composite_sync=1
vga_mode=rgb

it runs natively at 24khz so thats not an issue but I want an alternate ini file so that when I run my NAC in 24khz mode I see the mister menus and everything at 24khz as well.
@msamiullah not sure if you've already looked at this, but it might help with the alternate INI setup: MiSTer INI settings. It covers separate configs and settings specifically for the menu.
There’s also the custom video modes guide for setting the output timings. I think you would still need suitable 24 kHz timings for your monitor, but those explain the settings involved.

I've been hearing more and more about folk using these "MiSTer" devices lately. I currently have a Qanba 2009 COTW edition that is hooked up to a 32" Samsung monitor and has a 9800X3D/5080/64GB computer hooked up to it. I've been playing games through that but is there any advantage to replacing the computer with one of these MiSTer devices instead?

My basic understanding is you will get cycle accurate cores and some more accurate cores over emulation. I only notice some accuracy differences on some games. The most key difference is usually better input lag on a mister than with an emulator unless you use something like run ahead. You can also output directly to a CRT with a mister. You can off course emulate far more than the mister can emulate through its cores. It’s more just a preference thing. I’m not super picky about input lag but I do notice the difference playing some mister cores vs playing on emulation/ports of the games mister supports.
Edit: forgot to mention SNAC which lets you use OG controllers quite easily and without any added lag.
To get the best out of a Mister you hook it up to a CRT. HDMI gives you one frame of lag. It might be comfortable in the living room but with your setup, and that's just my opinion, you're better off with proper emulation that includes equal or even lower input lag and the "full" library of arcade games.
