GUN2CRT Adapter Teased Showing MiSTer Compatibility

A demo was just posted of a really interesting adapter that allows a Namco GunCon for the PlayStation to be used on any HID USB compatible device that outputs to a CRT.  That means any device that outputs an RGBHV signal from 240p up to 1024×768 (and possibly higher), including PC/Raspberry Pi emulation and even the […]

MiSTer FPGA: 240p over HDMI (Direct Video)

The MiSTer FPGA project has been one of the most exciting things in retro gaming.  While I’ll soon have a video (or series) covering everything it can do, I wanted to take the time to highlight one specific feature in this post:  Direct Video.  This allows you to connect the DE-10’s HDMI port to a […]

Adaptive Composite Blending Added to MiSTer Core

The MiSTer team has just implemented an “adaptive” transparency blending technique for the Sega Genesis and Sega CD cores.  In some cases, this is an improvement over the previous composite blending technique, as it tries to detect the layer that would benefit from the blending and blur only that layer. For those unfamiliar, developers in the […]

MiSTer 1536p Support Added – “3K” “Retina” Video Mode Recipe

Sorge, the head of the MiSTer FPGA project, swapped out the old screen in his MiSTer-modded PiCade for a 2048×1536 screen, and promptly added native support for the somewhat strange resolution used by Apple’s Retina Display iPads. I previously reported on MiSTer video scaler improvements that added support for other >1080p resolutions like 1440p and […]
