It handles a 486PC, but barely. Really pushing on that.
It's probably more to do with the nature of the ao486 core. It was ported from Bosch's emulator somewhat directly and then kind of roughly chopped to measure on MiSTer. The result is not ideal, and seeing as it's hard to even compile it properly, the devs are reluctant to touch it. Maybe if it was written from scratch te results would be better.
Still, it actually works pretty well in most cases.

Dear Lord, you couldn't make it up. Literally no shame, and also zero fcks to give, having the cheek to write this.

A few links from my speeddial.

What amazes me is that most of the micros, even the more obscure ones, have some sort of thouroughly researched Atarimania-likes, with lots of extras - especially docs. Apple II though...not much, in fact nothing bar Virtual Apple ][, and that's just a site with some games.
If you just want to quickly find a game to download this one is pretty good: http://www.oldgamesfinder.com/

Yeah, not much can be done about dumb luck, but there's also nothing to stop someone with lots of posts from being a dealer looking to jump at an opportunity like this.
Of course, but if you know how this scene mostly works in 2022 then I'm sure you'll understand where my comment was coming from
If you really aren't aiming to flip it then more power to you, and I hope you'll enjoy having this special gem.
The rest of us has that great photo of CC as a consolation prize, and it's quite awesome too.

One-post guy sends a PM. Expect to see it on ebay for >500 USD tomorrow

All the Minis are emulation devices, just in a fancy box.

Yeah, what the retro world definitely needs is more SNES coverage. This console is seriously underrepresented and nobody wants to talk about it anywhere.

And when it arrives without the hard drive, monitor and mouse then force him to ship those (assuming he can find a PBI interface for an IDE hard drive or an SD card interface) because they were explicitly in the description.
No, they aren't mentioned anywhere in his actual description, which is written quite clearly and has a heap of quality photos. So good luck with forcing him to do anything, since I'm pretty sure ebay would see it as a form filling typo and not an attempt to mislead.
Seriously, you guys sound like you've never made a simple mistake in your online auctions. It happens, not a big deal really.

The bundle description is probably ebay's template, put in by mistake. Apart from the price there isn't really that much wrong with this auction.

I'm playing a bunch of strange games, with strange resolutions, and it's also possible maybe some cores that aren't expecting to wind up on an arcade monitor.
In most cases MiSTer should display stuff in a 1:1 fashion on a CRT compared to OG hardware. There should be no scaling artifacts whatsoever, if you're seeing any make sure your config is OK. NeoGeo has a bit of a width problem, but scaling is still 1:1.
Connecting to an arcade monitor can be indeed problematic, but that mostly would affect colours/brightness (like what you describe), not scaling.

I've been using the Dark Reader extension (Firefox) for some time now. It enables a configurable "dark mode" when browsing AA and other sites. It has worked very well before but since the migration there are some elements which refuse to cooperate and remain very bright, even when tweaking all the parameters in DR, thus spoiling the effect. I mean the white bars in this example:
I realize it's a somewhat external issue and don't know if it can be "fixed" and wouldn't expect it to. Still, I thought I'd mention it. Maybe somebody is using Dark Reader too and has an idea how to remedy that, or perhaps there's some other way to enable dark mode for AA?

I trust dozens of Europeans AtariAgers, and hopefully likewise.
I would normally do it, assuming of course that you would pay for any expenses up front. I also eyeball some things in other countries which won't ship abroad, so I understand how frustrating this can be. But I'm currently moving out of Europe for a long period of time, so that puts a damper on things.

You can only edit a post for a short amount of time normally. Some forums allows editing of posts for longer periods of time (or indefinitely), such as the Marketplace and various Programming forums.

Do'h, of course...forgot about that.

It's there, click the small ... icon in the upper-right corner of the post and you'll see it. I'll see if I can that moved back as a button, not sure why they decided to hide it. The Report link is also hiding in there.

Strange, I can only see "Report" & "Share" in the ... thingy.

There really is no point in the "why not just get a mini PC/RPi" posts, because there are people, OP included, who don't want to go through any setting up process whatsoever, for whatever reason - and that's perfectly fine. These ready-made boxes are for them, not for me or you. The lack updates doesn't really matter for them that much because they are highly unlikely to be bothered by whatever minuscule imperfections might be present at this point in time (and most 8-16 bit emus are pretty much "complete" already).
The one problem I see with the Super Console X (and probably most of its ilk) are the cheapo controllers - that's the weak link. If I was buying one of these things I'd first research if it's possible to use some of the better existing ones (Sony, MS, 8bitdo, etc).

I seem to recall ebay fees used to be somewhere between 1-5% at the beginning, which was quite reasonable. But, as every other disruptor company, they followed a simple model of starting with free/low charges, attaining a huge userbase and/or becoming a near-monopoly, and then gradually increasing the fees. And so here we are.

If you plan on treating video games as an investment, realize that you make money when you buy, not when you sell.
I've spent a few thousand on hardware (plus some soft) over the last few years, building a very modest collection. The only reason I did that is because I know that the value of this stuff is not going to go down. In fact, it has mostly gone up since I started, but planning on that wasn't a reason for me buying. I don't treat it as an "investment", more of a solid or slightly profitable cash equivalent. I know I will sell 80% of all that stuff in the next few years or so, and at the moment I just enjoy having and using it.
And no, none of it was bought on credit or loan. I don't even have a credit card, which makes it much easier to avoid such thoughts

There are devices that let you use your actual genesis carts.
You mean Retrode? That's actually pretty cool, I didn't know it was possible on MiSTer. But, yeah, if somebody is interested only in Megadrive then SG is a neater solution than MiSTer's many-cables/add-ons one.

Wonderful offer. Hope nobody will pester you with the "but will you ship plz" malarkey.

Damn, I will click on any thread with "VGA" thinking it's about analog video. Got VGA-rolled here

Seriously, for a time I wondered if it was a language thing, but what is wrong with you?
I used to get mad about the "what if / we wuz robbed" threads, especially seeing as they look and quite possibly are made by the same person (yes, hello Frozone/LeeroyST/Bubsy/OP/etc), but tbh it doesn't really matter, as long as people here don't take them too seriously and they're not being turboposted. They do provide some occasional comedy relief so, yeah, bring on the next IT'S A MIRACLE !!11! moment.

I guess you can't lose something you've never had. Probably the Wordpress/Goddady/etc website fees are coming up and they don't want to break the 10 quid founding capital.
I know, I know, sounds like I'm making up a lame joke here. And yet: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/12074750/filing-history
