If the Game UI update is finally out and ready for deployment, I wasn’t aware of that. I knew that they had an alpha demo of it available for testing, but I’m not being paid to test. All the github pages make no mention of a release candidate, nor anything about the SuperDock getting disc reading functionality. It also seems like the composite output can’t use the new console mode and is stuck on the old MiSTer menu, so I don’t believe for a second that 1.1.1 is an actual release candidate even though that’s where they started their versioning.
Comment on Is SuperStation One worth it?
NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 23 hours agoHave you used it since they released the new UI layer? Is MISTer any easier to set up?
I bought the SSO and haven’t opened it yet, waiting for the software to not be a full-time project, so I’m not asking snidely. I just thought it was essentially a full-fledged MISTer for a cheap price and as a bonus has a few bells & whistles and a nice hardware shell. So I’m confused.

Got it.
Well, just trying to get the benefit of your experience, so let me ask a different way: my impression is that Taki Udon overpromised, teasing the SSO as an OoB console-like experience, but - while that isn’t ready yet - right now for the money it seems like a good and cheap MISTer with some future potential. Would you disagree with that assessment?

…maaaaaaybe?
I’m probably not the right person to ask. I deliberately avoided MiSTers up until now, because of how needlessly complex they sounded. So I stuck with the AVS, the SuperNT, the MegaSG, etc etc etc.

Mister is very easy to set up tbh. Adding and curating games requires some effort.
Still, I’m always on the lookout for a more consolized version instead of the amateur looking sandwich.
