GP2040 VS MiSTer_SAM

I think they use https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040

I've had a great experience with Arduino Pro Micro's running the DaemonBite firmware, and the RPi Pico GP2040 firmware should be similarly great. Both have extremely low latency. The Brook Universal board is another good one. Other than that, I usually just use either a DualShock 3 pad over USB or a wired 360 pad. I also like the iBuffalo SNES pad and Logitech Precision pads.

My third revision of this and looking for feedback to improve. I'm using an secondary USB-C port here to test this schematic before using it on other builds where the Pico placement is constrained by board clearances and mounting holes. The Pico is running GP2040, https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040, which allows the device to work on multiple systems. I'm new to PCB design and have grabbed some examples posted here before and hopefully following guidelines in the wiki.

It might also be worth checking out the pi pico as the brains, though I believe you need a second piece of hardware to make it work on ps4. The pi pico itself should only be 10$~ not sure how much the ps4 adapter thing would cost. The firmware to look into is https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040

Hi, does anyone know how to add a PS Home button to your controller? I have a DURAL hitbox which uses GP2040 Firmware (https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040). I was planning on going to an offline event and needed to make my controller PS4 proof for which I was hoping to use a PS3 to PS4 adapter. However I would still need the PS Home button because PS4 is weird. If anyone knows a solution help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft totally does. That's why GP2040, an open source controller firmware, doesn't support Xbox or PS. The way it's typically done now is to have a require a real controller to handle the authentication, with the 3rd party input in between the real controller and the console (passthrough in that chart)

It plays random games from your library while your Mister is idle. Here is more info on the project: https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM

Been discovering cool things the community has come up with like the S-video cores (https://github.com/MikeS11/MiSTerFPGA_YC_Encoder), custom boot screens for some cores (https://github.com/uberyoji/mister-boot-roms), or the SAM script (https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM). Was wondering if anyone wanted to shout out any other cool downloadables or side projects that aren't available through the main Update or Update All scripts.

The MiSTer may be better gameplay wise because of the input latency the interface is far more simpler and barebones but works. You can boot straight to a core but it may show a loading screen for a second or two you can power down and shutdown power without any problems. MiSTer is more like an appliance, the Pi is a mini computer and far more prone to corruption on power shutoff. That being said MiSTer does have the SAM attract mode script and MiSTer can be controlled by your smartphones.. I would say with the NeoGeo support, CPS 1-2 and CAVE not to mention PS1 MiSTer is already awesome. TMNT and Mortal Kombat are both being worked on not to mention Saturn support as well. To my knowledge no one has ever regretted getting a MiSTer. All it has done has become more useful and more valuable. I made a daemonbite arcade stick with a real coin mech and it is awesome and practically lagless on the MiSTer. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I think it's possible for someone to write a 3rd-party frontend, but the mainline MiSTer devs don't seem interested in it themselves. There's a 3rd-party attract mode implementation, but I don't know of one for core/ROM selection yet: https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM
