Amazing quality video. Great work!

Call the police, that's domestic abuse. Your wife thrashed you.

17:47 RIP Near, you did so much for this community and your knowledge will never be forgotten! May those that did all those horrible things to you meet their conscience one day. What you did is invaluable and we will always keep you in the highest regards. Rest easy.

Hi Ken, I'm interested in setting up a Japanese famicom with rgb output to a 29" arcade monitor to get the exact image quality you would expect from any arcade pcb like the neogeo mvs for example. Is this doable without damaging the famicom while achieving prolonged usage just an mvs mother board would deliver?

Man, at this point just get a steam deck.

I was shock about the differences between Air Strike Patrol on Snes9x vs BSNES. You blew my mind.

Nice deep dive, I hadnt seen anyone else compare the fpgas yet. Taki Udon took a look and game compatibility, and noted Donkey Kong also has some graphical artifacts. Seems the fpga bitstream is less than perfect.

Very interesting!

fpga to much expensive for me!

hola! este dispositivo se puede conectar a un PC del tipo Pentium 3? Gracias!

Greetings from RetrocampusBBS' sysop :)

I never even knew that FPGAs existed till I happened to run into a tool for electrical engineers but never even crossed my mind that videogames could be played with them

This is a really cool series. Wonder if you might do snes or another console when this is done.

awesome content!!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing this information!

I really live this series, Ken! Looking forward to the next episode

Would be cool if we get an NFC reader capable of letting you put in cards down in it like a game cartridge and then launch them via a power switch with a satisfying click. The Disk Drive System is cool admittedly but I can't help feeling this'd let me come even closer to the homely feeling associated with our physical cartridges~

Just one small errata, de-compile would i think give the wrong idea, that the game is compiled in the first place. It's assembled, so the disassembly is the preferred word for machine code, which almost all retro stuff was produced with. Anyhow nice video for noobs. :-)

I just stick to the real thing. At the end of the day, they’re still superior.

i was expecting when you pull out the cartridge more randomness (noise) and not a static image. also: nes without the mapper chips is as good as an atari 2600 (overexaggerated but true)

Do you have an explanation why the NES/Famicom have the worst composite video quality ever? The vertical lines are fuzzy, the horizontal are perfect. Only black, white and gray colors used in vertical lines do not produce this fuzzinest and they are perfectly strate. The problems is with all other colors. And ten bigger problem is when the screen scrolls this defect produces an awful dot crowing effect. And I do not talking about the notorious jailbars on famicom and nes model 2.

I'm really loving this series! I am designing a VGA circuit using an RP2040. My design is very close to the NES PPU but with upgrades. This series is really helping me out! Thanks.

Great video Ken, this kind of video about hardware is right up my street. I really appreciate the animations during the explanations. I've tried on my own videos to do it, and I take my hat off to you. Excellent work. Most people don't know how long it takes to do those animations!

I so wish someone sold this as a kit,

Wow, I have to do this, imagine going into Starbucks and making the win 95 hipsters heads implode when they see what you're online with, lol.

I would love to get a REX in my 102, just have a dial a rom in it atm, and a backpack

I think the first project I should make with my language is an NES emulator. If it can handle that, then it should be ready to release.

And they’ll use the av cable port all the way until the GC

Absolutely fantastic summary of the project and possibilities .... I wasn't really all that interested before but now I can see how this could really enhance the MiSTer experience.. Great video!

I love this series. Simple and instructive. I really miss my Microprocessors class :D

Why just don't make the coin card a circular card so you won't grab the wrong card while also improving the immersion?

Love this series

Brilliant depth and quality, as usual. And you'll only get better.

In Germany one would say that you are a perfect "Erklärbär".

Wonderful! Loved that composite mod at the end. Very DIY ;)

So are the roms stored on the actual cards or is it just another way to tell the system which game to load from internal memory?

A few years back, I started to write a 6502 NES emulator in modern C++17 using MSVC. It was quite a project to work on. The NES Dev wiki site is very valuable and useful and when I first started to take on this project and doing some research into it is what brought me to find other related topics such as Ben Eater's Y.T. channel for his 8-Bit bread board CPU in which I implemented his design in a program called Logisim. Since then, I had also come across a game on Steam called Turing Complete. Many years ago, I started to get into programming due to my interest in 3D Graphics / Game Engine design as well as Physics Simulations and Animations. As much as I enjoyed learning various topics throughout that process such as learning the various graphics APIs such as DirectX, OpenGL and Vulkan, I have come to appreciate and enjoy Hardware Design (ISA implementation just as much as doing 3D Graphics programming). This in part is reflective of some of my Steam Libraries titles that range from Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Satisfactory, Mindustry, Oxygen Not Include, The Planet Crafter, and more. If it's Engineering related: "The Factory Must Grow!" and if they have Trains, it's even an added bonus, if it's building Rockets, that's just as engaging. I love and appreciate channels that provide content such as this. Job well done on clearly explaining the design of the Richo chips. You covered most of the basic in less than 20 minutes where many paid for courses couldn't even do it in a single semester. Kudos!!!

Will this work with raspberry pi running retropie or is it just for the mister?

Could this do the reverse? Like putting a romhack into a physical cart?

At last my idea on which I've never worked on materialized on the real world.

Now we just need a variant port cover lid that integrates the NFC module, so the whole thing can look even more like an oversized PC engine.

The ZModem firmware is good, great in fact, but the 'theoldnet' firmware is even better, still free and downloadable, and the latest version also comes with a better way to upload to the ESP8266, but you need one with at least 4Mb, it won't fit on smaller boards.

I had the NEC version back in 1986 (the very first computer I owned) unfortunately there was no internet back then.

This video is great! I always come back to it when I make a fresh Mister install. Do you think you could make a video on how to access the Mister from MacOS?

Fantastic video!

I wasn't much interested in the TapTo, but your idea of putting tags in cartridges is something I must do for myself.

Chip masks are only protected for 10 years and the Famicom came out before the mask law was even passed. It would be foolish not to use the masks or to pay a license for something in the public domain. Do you send UA-cam money for the free music in your videos?

In the late 90s, my ISP had a trs100 termcap entry. So I would use the acoustic coupler on my parents cordless phone and use lynx and pine from the back yard. Also did this from the school payphone, but they made me stop because they thought it looked like I was hacking the payphones.

A few months late to the party here, but I am absolutely loving my FPGBC. FPGA really excites me, and for $80, this was a fun project to put together, and it just seems to work.

you must finish this series famicom materials!
