If the games are running well I'd say no.
I know
Are you running the Saturn core?
Even on the official MiSTer forums is tends to be just those with problems on the V2.5 rather than anyone saying the core runs well on that version of the memory. I will try and find some games that let me hammer the core for an hour or two. So far I been playing games in short burst 10-15mins.
EDIT: Played Sega Rally for a good while and managed to trigger a loss of background audio - sound effects still present. So I think that and the white screen I induced before is probably indicative of the issues with the V2.5 module. Still feels like this is a well behaved module but ultimately if I want more consistent performance with Saturn need to upgrade

N64 finally hit update _all then. Will have to have a play when I have some time.

Need to update to check it out. Still not ordered new memory yet.
Have read that the main developer is moving on from the N64 core to pursue other projects. So that might slow up development although there are issues with DDR3 latency. Albeit the N64 will still be the most accurate way to play N64 outside of original hardware.
Also there is a Turbo N64 core too which can on some titles speed up frame rates.

it can do better than that, theres a turbo core which boosts FPS on games that struggled. Theres two games that are not fully playable or have some issues, Conkers bad fur day and something else which escapes me, playable but with issues. Its a really impressive core - i use it at 240p/120hz on my diamontron monitor and it looks glorious.

I tried Mario 64 with my usual 8bit do pad and couldn't run forward for some reason. Anyone else tried it yet?
yes it works fine. You might have to remap controls in the core if you havent done it before. I use the N64 switch controller with mine and it works a treat. (xbox and 8bit do controllers also work fine for me)

Received my new V3.0 128MB module today (on the right). Ran it through some games on Saturn, NeoGeo and 32X cores. All fine and haven't had one crash or audio issues. Posts 150Mhz on the built-in speed test too (admittedly only after a few minutes).
Has anyone tied the marquee pi thing? Ive got a spare little 10" monitor i thought might look pretty good, i just wondered how easy it was to do.
I saw on PCN's channel that cheaper clone hardware that runs the standard Mister core is coming soon. The idea of a fully pimped single board consoleised Mister for less money is very appealing to me. Having said that, the definition of fully pimped will differ from person to person.

Be interested in this too, think I have secured a display but need to look into all the other necessary parts

Last I checked quality control was a big issue. The screen itself is obviously fine, its the other components from suspect Chinese dealers that you have to worry about.

I've just ordered the new QMTECH DE10-Nano clone board for £106 inc shipping and taxes. I still need to get a SDRAM module and PSU for it but still considerably cheaper! Should arrive by the 10th July. I'll keep you all posted!

Edit: I have just had a look, different and potentially has a few issues with sound and at 1080p.
I am going to hold out for the clone from Taki Udon, hoping they will launch as a complete kit with the USB Hub and IO Board.

I've not followed the Sinden Lightgun for a while, but it seems they now have a driver for the Mister with support in the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PS1 cores.

Ah yes, that reminds me. I saw this on the Discord yesterday but didn't get time to watch the video!I've not followed the Sinden Lightgun for a while, but it seems they now have a driver for the Mister with support in the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PS1 cores.

When I first saw time crisis I thought it was the arcade version for a second.
It is really niche compared to other cores, but I hope we see a TC1&2 core one day.
