A general-purpose tool for streaming your Windows PC screen to your MiSTer through the Groovy_MiSTer core.
This is not a replacement for Groovy_Mame or other integrated emulators.
Make sure you already have Groovy_Mame working well with Groovy_MiSTer before using MiSTerCast. A direct ethernet connection to your MiSTer is recommended. https://github.com/lutechsource/MiSTerStuff/blob/main/GroovyMiSTer/mame_documentation.md https://github.com/psakhis/Groovy_MiSTer
The Microsoft VC++ x86 Redistributable is required. You can install it from here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
For audio, you will need to enable audio on the Groovy_MiSTer core.
- Frames may be dropped or doubled due to sync with video signal.
- At least 1-2 frames of latency.
- If the app crashes, you will need to restart your MiSTer and Groovy_MiSTer.
- Nothing over 720x480i is recommended at the moment due to throughput on MiSTer. This will improve soon.
- High refresh rate monitors are not supported due to frame times. Please change your monitor to ~60hz.
The current pre-defined modelines are just for testing. You can add your own in modelines.dat. It's best to use a refresh that matches your PC for better sync. Find more modeline examples here: https://www.geocities.ws/podernixie/htpc/modes-en.html
