These are both very simple to understand. Official in this case means the memory tester core included in the mister repos, official capacity means capacities of SDRAM actually used by the framework and cores.

The whole original post by @magelocc was about sorg getting their money, my entire point is that there are many ways to make a MiSTer without giving sorg anything.

what are you even talking about. You can run all official cores, use the SDRAM board sorg designed, and have the exact same experience as every other Mister user. In fact, that’s an intended use case. It’s why they upload things like the PCB files to GitHub

Here is a perfect example of what happens when Alibabba sellers use @sorgelig @alexey_saarsoft's work. They get attacked. People made all kinds of wild claims about this. If you use this board you are a heathen. But why? lolhttps://twitter.com/arcade_projects/status/1386310258851725312 …

this board literally broke functionality, SNAC, of course it should be attacked. If you build the board to specification though, there isn’t a problem.

If you dig deeper, it was actually what appears to be an accidental left out header. Quite literally a 15 cent fix. Nothing is actually broken. Just overzealous complaints in our humble opine. https://twitter.com/arcade_projects/status/1386410431795789825 … But the exact "not made here syndrome" followed for sure!

It doesn’t matter how small the fix is, if you’re still shipping it to end users. You can’t expect them to fix it themselves, that’s why they bought a board preassembled. I don’t think anyone cares much so long as the seller updated their board and included the header.
