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 […]
The MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console Project’s main core, and Sega Genesis and SMS cores have received several updates recently. Some highlights include: integer & ultra-sharp nearest neighbor scaling, the ability to load scaler coefficient files (for custom video profiles, for example), and improved scanlines. Changelogs. Cores need to be updated individually to take advantage of the […]
The MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console IO board add-on allows for zero-latency analog video output via a Dsub-15 port. This port can be used for virtually any analog signal (component, VGA, etc) including RGB. While you could use a cheap, modified VGA-to-SCART cable, they are far from ideal in a lot of ways. To answer the demand […]
Binarybond007 posted a video show the progress of ijor’s beta Atari ST core for the MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console Platform. #MiSTer, #fpga, #atarist
