MiSTer ADC Board for Audio / Tape Input

€4,90 (excl. VAT)

The ADC board enables analog audio input on MiSTer FPGA, allowing you to:

🔄 Load games or data from cassette tapes (e.g., ZX Spectrum, MSX, BBC Micro, etc.)
🎙️ Use analog audio input on supported cores
🎮 Emulate original system behavior that relied on audio loading – common in many 8-bit home computers

Ideal for retro enthusiasts looking for an authentic tape-loading experience directly from original media or digital recordings.

Additional information

Description

In the context of MiSTer FPGA, ADC stands for Analog-to-Digital Converter. It is used primarily to capture analog audio signals and convert them into digital form that the FPGA can process.

🔌 Where is it connected?

The ADC board is typically used in combination with the Analog I/O board. It connects via a dedicated header or input connector and routes audio into the MiSTer system for processing by supported cores.

⚠️ Important:

Not all cores support ADC functionality. It’s mostly useful for retro computers that originally used tape audio input.
It doesn’t provide microphone input for modern audio recording — it’s specifically designed for legacy tape/digital audio loading.
