i have one of these, other than the power switch being a bit tacky looking for the inluded case i got, its a really neat board they made.The Multisystem has just been released as open-source hardware

i spent the day tidying up my mister, getting Neo Geo CD and Playstation working after migrating to a bigger hard drive. Hopefully we will get the Neo Geo pocket core on Friday.
Ive also been having a lot of fun with Jungle Hunt, i have very strong nostalgia for that arcade game so i was chuffed it got released last week.

I'm just looking at doing the same, moving my rom collection off of the SD card and on to my NAS.
Ive got 2 misters and a nas so i should really do that too it would make more sense!

I’ve not got it setup yet but I’m planning on WiFi. I believe it’s slightly slower to load the game but once it’s loaded the game plays from the MiSTer and not constantly reading from the NAS so doesn’t actually impact gameplay etc
However, with PSX where the whole game doesn’t fit in memory, that could have slow down issues… I think!
Take everything I’ve just said with a pinch of salt!

Has anyone tried Retronas?
I set it up as an unraid VM, but it didn't seem to be working with hardlinks on that setup, I think it needs to all be btrfs to take full advantage. A neat setup though to have a single library, with clever handling of folder structures for specific systems (like mister).

No. Although I remember seeing that Youtube video last year and did want to try it out. But I think its strength is when used with multiple emulation devices which I don't really have. I did for a while run a SMB/CIFS share as mentioned in this very thread but having since retired my old HP Microserver I have repurposed an old 1TB SSD in one of those Orico Cassette enclosures. And that's been fine and as easy to organise as a network share.
RetroNAS is a very cool project though as you mentioned.

I’ve designed and made a case to go with my MiSTer DASH concept. My 2 year old yanked on the cable the other day and I thought he had ripped the micro usb port off of the DE10 so had to do something about it!
The case has a Noctua fan, Micro USB OTG Shim > USB A male breakout > USB A Female breakout.
Here's a render of the latest design. I've decided to drop the SNAC port for now as wiring it up isn't as straight forward as I first thought...

I finally moved over and using the cifs_mount script, it was pretty straight forward and easy to setup. I have all the console games on the NAS and keeping the arcade core games on the SD card, it's easier to manage this way as I'm using the update_all script to get the latest arcade core releases etc I've not tried PSX yet so can't comment on loading speeds or any game play slow downs etcThank youThat's interesting and seems logical , i'm about to move my Mister to wifi and wondered how the transfer speeds would differ if I then went the SSD route. Please keep updated when you move over.

Bit of an update, I've still not tried PSX as I'm waiting to build a Playstation 1 controller Daemon adapter first, but I've just tried Neo Geo CD and can't get the games to load from my NAS but they load fine from the SD card.I finally moved over and using the cifs_mount script, it was pretty straight forward and easy to setup.

I've just tried PSX over WiFi loading from my QNAP NAS in the same room as the MiSTer and router, and it was unplayable. I then tried from SD card to rule anything else out, and it played fine.

Not strictly MiSTer related but 8bitdo have announced a new retro inspired mechanical keyboard to be released in NES or Famicom editions. For the $100 RRP you get a lot for your money including those separate large mappable buttons.
https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-mechanical-keyboard/
Kind of think it looks better in the Famicom colours.
Perhaps a great keyboard to be paired with a MiSTer setup and might be tempted to get one. Comes off the back of their Neo Geo controllers and Saturn-theme M30 controllers, amongst other things.

Is this issue only happening with the PSX core?
Soldato
That was the only CD console core I tested, all of the cartridge based console cores worked fine.
I didn’t try the arcade cores as these get updated with Update_all and installed to SD card automatically.

If you was waiting for the Mortal Kombat arcade core, Atrac17 has just announced you’ll need dual SDRAM.
