>Keep in mind that the DE-10 itself has 1GB of DDR3 on it
Ah, so THAT'S where any CDs get stored. I was thiking about that. Like, how the fuck does the PS1 core make it all work with just 128MB. Well, now it makes sense :)

>>This would be the "Reflex" type?
>Also SNAX or SNAX64
I was looking at this
https://misteraddons.com/products/reflex-adapt?_pos=2&_psq=reflex&_ss=e&_v=1.0
but apparently this seems to be an example use:
SNES controller <--> SNAC with HDMI adapter <--> Reflex thingy <--> *actual* USB connection <--> computer/MiSTer
It seems odd that this device wouldn't add latency, as it adds an abstraction layer. Maybe that *real* USB is optional and ignored if you're using fake news USB with a MiSTer.

>old controllers were not sending digital data
Almost all of them send the button presses in a serial fashion. How is that not digital...?

>Notice that HDMI-to-HDMI connector in the images of that IO board?
Uhm... no? Not at all :(

>SuperStation is another great one
Yeah, the actual choice seems to be between the Superstation and the MiSTer Pi.

>PSX port you mentioned, it's basically hard wired to the SNAC port
Exactly what I suspected.

I found this and it annoyingly says "Reflex Adapt ONLY" for Neo Geo.

This seems quite annoying... I understand why; SNAC can't deal with 10 parallel data signals, so it HAS to be serialized.
Well, I'll only be using a few cores with my joysticks, so any mapping stuff I could probably do manually. It'll be Neo Geo, IGS PGM and CPS2, and that's about it. And maybe I'll play some In the Hunt every now and again, to have a look at the origins of Metal Slug.
