With MiSTer as GPU you don't need any modded driver or OS, just a GB lan connection.

Overkill:
Thank you both. It's working great with vanilla Windows 10 and DHCP (Didn't find where "/etc/dhcpd.conf" is).

But I will leave "uifont" on default. With "uifont uismall.bdf" it's too small for me to read the games names.

Tomorrow I will try direct video using hdmi cable to vga adapter.

zoopster:
I've tried both VGA (CRT) and direct video (VGA monitor) and both worked well.

I'm using ethernet connection between the PC and MiSTer(s) via a switch which the PC and two MiSTers are plugged directly into.  Would there be much benefit to a direct connection vs. using the switch and DHCP?

I did have some connectivity / stability issues on the MiSTer side - particularly with the CRT set up - where the core would go red or black and freeze during gameplay but I know this is beta.

Some feature requests:

1) Support for 31khz / 24khz output for VGA monitors. The 480i output on the CRT is not bad for games like Ridge Racer but Sega Rally etc. no so good on either the CRT or VGA monitor.
2) A tool or better instructions (video) for setting up a direct connection without breaking the DNS set up so enable MiSTER to update via the internet and easily switch to a direct connection for better performance in Groovy mode.
3) MiSTER controller support would be great as it can get confusing switching between different controllers especially on a PC with dual MiSTER set up! :)
4) Sound streaming would be great as long as it doesn't impact the video and latency side of the house. My work around is to route the sound from the PC into my monitor speakers I use for  MiSTER.
5) By some miracle convince Sorg to embrace this project and integrate with MiSTer main :) More a quality of life thing TBH.

Keep up the good work!

Hi,
I don't have any freeze here, which game are you trying? Direct connection is more about no other downloads can affect transmission.

About requests
1) It's supported as monitor on emulator side, so you need to pass other monitor, not arcade_15. For 240p games, on core you have scandoubler to support 31khz.
2) This happens to me, i don't know how setup dhcp.conf to get DNS
3) Yeah, nice feature, but needs a lot of work, maybe...
4) Probably easier than inputs, i'm looking this
5) I hope convince Sorg.

Calamity:
@zoopster

-monitor arcade_31

-monitor arcade_25

... it's that easy.

For higher resolutions (25/31 kHz), you'll likely need -mister_compression lz4.
