Well, not literally everywhere, but both Retro-bit and Hyperkin have new Sega Saturn controllers in their respective inventories of retro accessories. Retro-bit announced earlier this year that they’re teaming up with Sega to produce new controllers for the Genesis/Mega Drive and Saturn. Each model will receive 3 variants: original port, USB and Bluetooth (Bluetooth dongles/receivers […]
Many MiSTer Cores require no add-ons, so all you need is a DE10-nano for a turn-key FPGA Super-Console! You don’t have to wait for boards to play PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16/SuperGrafx, Sega Genesis, Master System, ARCADE, and lots more! Many people have said that we need a TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine FPGA Console, well now we do and it’s […]
Furrtek has been working on preserving the Neo Geo MVS/AES/CD by meticulously reverse-engineering the hardware, with the goal of creating 1:1 cycle-accurate FPGA implementations of their hardware. He has even decapped many of the complex ICs to record their internal circuits. The original goal was to simply preserve the Neo Geo platform for all time, […]
It’s the late 80s, Sega is trying to dethrone Nintendo off the top of the gaming world with an aggressive marketing campaign mostly aiming at demeaning the latter’s inferior hardware. Almost 30 years have passed and Nintendo’s still being picked at, this time, by Chinese telecom giant Huawei. Wait, what? Why? Huawei revealed last week […]
Intellivision Entertainment revealed quite a few details about their previously announced console (in May 2018), at PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) this past weekend. Tommy Tallarico, current president of Intellivision, addressed the convention’s audience about the upcoming “Amico”; a dedicated 2D modern system that will, supposedly, be much easier to program for (precisely talking about […]
Apparently chain is the collective noun for a group of Lynx, so two consolized Lynx would be a chain… Anyway, both use the McWill VGA mod as the base for their video output and each is a nice clean implementation. Neither project has shared specific design files but each has a reasonable documentation of their […]
ijor has been developing an Atari ST core for some time and just released a preview build for MiSTer. He boasts that it is so precise as to be cycle-accurate. Atari ST uses a Motorola 68000 processor that numerous consoles and computers also use. If the core is cycle-accurate, then the components that ijor has ported […]

A recent MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console update added support for injecting ROMs into core RBF files. The idea was devised to consolidate things like the required boot ROMs that certain cores require. So all of the necessary core files could be included in a single RBF for example. But NML32 realized that the new ROM injector […]
ElectronAsh has named his in-dev MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console native controller board add-on the LL Cool Joy. LL for low-latency. He has also merged it with the USB board to create an elegant two-in-one solution that will cut down on the number of boards to buy, and reduces the size of a complete MiSTer setup. LL […]
