MiSTer ao486 Core – Dial-up Modem Testing via VoIP
First thing, I should probably note is that this was from relatively early on in my testing with VoIP back in 2021. I didn’t use anything fancy apart from the VoIP box, some phone cables and good luck. Coupled with a really great guide of course.
Jeff I got rid of all my games this year and started on the everdrive/mod route and feel like I'm making a mistake with the Everdrives. For the price of one or two I could get a MiSTer, right? But what do I do then--build one on my own or buy one from someone else? What should I look into?
I'd say go for a pre-built unit to just take the hassle out of it, but I think misteraddons.com is sold out for the rest of the year. The price of the DE10-nano just went up (again), so everything's starting to get pricier. ultimatemister.com is also legit, I've order a couple of things from them.
I did my first mister by buying a DE10-nano and then buying the various add-on boards and that process is not difficult at all, so you could really go either way. While there's value to getting one of the IO boards (I have one with an analog and one with a digital) you really could just get a DE10-nano and one 128MB SDRAM and be pretty much good. You'd need an OTG USB hub if you went that route or you could always get one of their official USB hub designs.
