Recently, SmokeMonster published an article detailing how to achieve 5x and 6x mode with MiSTer, and with the use of a Datapath Vision E1/E1S Capture Card, being able to record or stream lagless gameplay. But with the fact it’s aging hardware and the Amazon price is roughly $880, I wanted to look for other options. […]
Update: Due to improvements to its video scaler, MiSTer now supports up to 1536p. I wrote up the details here. I have been on a quest to improve my MiSTer video capture setup for 2020, with the goal of improving my channel’s videos and streams. Few people might realize this, but MiSTer supports resolutions far […]
“If you are at the bleeding edge of classic gaming, then you’ve heard of MiSTer!” SmokeMonster If you have not, then you really need to check out Smoke’s videos showcasing this amazing little piece of tech. He is putting forth a ton of effort into highlighting each core of the MiSTer. Currently counting down […]
Sega CD comes to MiSTer care of Srg320, author of the Super Nintendo Core and its special chips (CX4, DSP1-4, OBC-1, SA-1, S-DD1, SPC7110, S-RTC, ST010, Super FX/GSU), as well as Virtua Racing’s SVP chip for the Sega Genesis. The Sega CD core is very solid for a first release. All 150 official releases have […]
Bob asked me to write up the upcoming MiSTer FPGA cores, and I came up with quite a few. Below are the *known* in-progress or planned cores that are being worked on or researched. As is the case with MiSTer, you never know when something will simply manifest out of the ether, so there are […]
FPGA developer Robert Peip aka FPGAzumSpass has just released a MiSTer core for his FPGA implementation of the Game Boy Advance. HDMI output is currently supported with analog (RGB/Component/VGA) in the works. At the moment, the core can be downloaded simply by running the MiSTer update script (either “update” or “update_console” depending on your version), […]
Antonio Villena has designed a plug-and-play device for easily installing MiSTer in an arcade cabinet, which also supports Raspberry Pi when combined with πCRT. I covered some exclusive technical details of the JAMMA Interface in my latest video. Antonio also announced a new Supergun that he’s designed. It will work with arcade PCBs and is […]
The first official release of the Neo-Geo core is now available for the MiSTer platform! Thanks to the hard work of Furrtek, Sorgelig, Greyrogue, Rysha and other contributors, installing it is as easy as choosing the update option in the scripts menu of the MiSTer. Users who do not have network connectivity or that prefer […]
Jotego released Popeye and Commando arcade FPGA cores to his patrons, for both MiSTer and MiST. Both cores are open-source and will be made publicly available once complete. I debuted them live and found Popeye to be especially impressive. It is a very early application of interlaced graphics, which looks a little strange via HDMI, but […]
MiSTeraddons.com has just listed a fully-tested power switch for the MiSTer platform: http://misteraddons.com/product/in-line-power-switch/ Most of the in-line switches people have been testing with the MiSTer have significantly dropped the voltage when put between the power supply and DE-10, causing performance issues. You’d think finding something as basic as a power switch would be simple, but this is […]
