RegularGuyGamer | 2,042 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Anyone have any input on the plug and play FPGA for the Saturn / Dreamcast ? The mode https://shop.terraonion.com/en/home/17-Terraonion_MODE_Dreamcast_Saturn_ODE.html I'm interested but I haven't seen much pre release reviews. But it looks really promising. I've been waiting forever to get the Rhea but I don't think it's ever coming. Hopefully these stay in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally we can ditch the crappy GDEMU and it's creator's stupid lottery scheme for purchasing. I'll be getting two as soon as they hit StoneageGamer.

DefaultGen | 5,724 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I mostly use my AVS but getting off a blurry ass, tiny CRT and onto an LCD is a pro over original hardware for me. I only use an NES for MTPO really, and never play any zapper games really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently theres one that goes for sale in may for 130 euro but it doesn't have the capability of file types or the capability in storage. I'm just so ready to be able to get original hardware action from the Saturn. It seems like the times almost up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,042 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Fenrir is out for the Saturn. It's plug and play but only with certain Saturn models. Anyone thinking of getting one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on getting MODE eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin03 | 314 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 MiSTer got TurboGrafx CD support this last week. Now Rondo of Blood has an FPGA implementation. FPGA when done well continues to amaze. I have no regrets selling my consoles and moving over to one device for all my needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to have time to test that one soon. Maybe I can get into arcade UN Squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themisfit138 | 523 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) I have the AVS, Super NT, and Mega SG. All well worth the cost. On the Mega SG, My Life In Gaming has a video for settings. So, you can get that Model 1 look and sound. Now we need a FPGA for the Sega CD. Every time I fix my Model 1. Something else brakes and it is down again. It has been a problem child since it was new.

Although that would be terrible for my bank account because I'd start collecting for those consoles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,123 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 As much as I love the Duo I got at the start of the year, if someone made some FPGA system that could handle optical it would be so out of here. Even then depending on price, if it had to be simulated optical and ran a system with only ROMs or a legit hucard to play I'd still be likely up to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin | 4 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 FPGA consoles are great. I only use my original hardware now when I get the random urge to play on a CRT... and with my current setup, that's not very often. AVS, Super NT, Mega SG, they all look and play great, and are more convenient. I'll get a MiSTer sometime in the near future as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 12,268 Administrator · Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I got my Analogue DAC all hooked up so now I can play my Super NT and Mega SG on my CRT (so many acronyms lol). Looks an works great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks an works great! Loving both on CRT. IMO, a lot of those scaling effects, like mode 7, don't come across well on a huge HD display. Now I can play Super Mario Kart and not cringe or go cross eyes while doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
