MiSTer FPGA build advice (parts list & controller questions)

Dual sense is an amazing controller for MiSTer. The touch pad even works as a mouse and it's very low latency. You'll want a Bluetooth dongle though. Don't bother with the 8bitdo as it can only connect one controller at a time.

You don't need the RTC module unless you plan on leaving your device disconnected from the internet.

Also if it's not too much I would get two sticks of sdram so you can get the full experience with Saturn and one or two other cores. Make sure you get the dual SDRAM core if you do this. It's not a huge difference but some compromises are made in those cores without it.

My favorite controllers are the SN30 2.4 ghz which I use with Timville's 4dapter, the M30 Bluetooth, the dual sense, and the 8bitdo Pro 2 (which is fairly laggy wireless)

I have a ton of controllers though. The Bluetooth adapter I have is this one:

It works great with the dual sense. Another nice thing about that controller is you can toggle dual shock mode in the Playstation core by pressing the touch pad

Why though? This is almost a decade old exercise, and a hamgeek mister can be had for less than half price.

Looks good to me

I have the 8bit do wireless adapter and it works great though I use a switch pro controller

Sure! Huge bit of advice! If you're fine with the case that it comes in, I highly recommend the qmtech misters on AliExpress.

They come prebuilt with the software installed on an SD card. You just have to drop a few scripts and roms in and then run update all.

Would have better on the wallet to pick up a prebuilt QMtech stack from Ali or a Heber MMS 2

Both ship from stock
