PicoFightingBoard VS mistercon

**Based Inspired on the Pico Fighting Board (https://github.com/FeralAI/PicoFightingBoard) and TheTrain Pico Advanced V4.**

An alternative to brook boards there is GP2040 running off an inexpensive Pi Pico. There's even a PCB with compatible pinout: https://github.com/FeralAI/PicoFightingBoard

brook zero pi or a Pico Fighting Board.

I saw this recently https://github.com/FeralAI/PicoFightingBoard

If you're just looking to get the board produced you can download the files at https://github.com/FeralAI/PicoFightingBoard/tree/main/boards/v1.0/outputs. The zip file contains the gerber and drill files, the PicoFightingBoard_BOM.csv is the bill of materials for SMT assembly, and the PicoFightingBoard-top-pos.csv is the component layout file for SMT assembly. These are the 3 files JLCPCB needed for production.

Sio and I are currently working on the next major release of the app, and we've written up a post going over the main new features at http://www.patreon.com/tatsutron. We want to devote as much time to it as we possibly can, so we're promoting it before it's done in the hopes of financing the ability to not take odd jobs to make ends meet (our "story" or whatevs is in the "About" section of the Patreon). The GitHub repo is at https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon. The app is free(*) to use and there is an Android APK attached to each GitHub release at https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon/releases.

But, by launcher, I meant the ability to have a way to browse games with screenshots, and then go, 'yeah i wanna play this one' and then hit a button and it just opens on your MiSTer. Ideally something you can have with you without getting up, so like a phone app. I tried https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon but it's super clunky, and doesn't have arcade screenshots.

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.

Grab the MiSTer Con app for Android.

And in case you're interested in the code, the source for all of this is over at the mistercon [GitHub repo](https://github.com/tatsutron/mistercon).
