Sorge–AKA Alexey, the mastermind behind MiSTer–ported Jotego’s (Jose Tejada) open-source Ghosts ‘n Goblins MiST FPGA core to MiSTer, and released it today. A user shared a pre-compiled ROM here, and the core itself can be obtained using the Updater Script or on Github. The Ghosts ‘n Goblins [Makaimura] arcade PCB platform was similar to several […]
There’s now a 3D printed case available for the MiSTer FPGA kit. It can be ordered in different color configurations and has models for both the full kit + IO board, as well as the HDMI-only version with a fan. Sadly, the glow-in-the-dark option isn’t available on only the IO ports, would might be a […]
Furrtek has just posted a progress update to his MiSTer FPGA core for the Neo Geo. While it’s not quite in a usable state, it’s an exciting advancement from his Patreon post a few months ago. There’s some speculation that this core will require a larger RAM upgrade than is currently used on the MiSTer, […]
DJ Legion installed MiSTer into a JAMMA arcade cabinet using an Ultimarc J-PAC and and gave a tour of the installation. He wrote a guide in the video description, complete with MiSTer.ini settings. This is probably the first of many MiSTer arcade cabs to come, and it turned out really well. The J-PAC was a […]
I just pushed MiSTer Pack List v3.0 to Github. V3 is a complete redesign based around the new functionality of the Updater Script by Locutus73. I worked with Locutus behind the scenes and he designed the script around the file-layout of the MiSTer Pack List. Basically, it’s so integrated now that you will never have […]
Bruno AKA brNK has added Game Boy Color support to MiSTer’s Game Boy FPGA core. This is an early first release so support is hit or miss, but GBC support is under heavy development by Bruno and will be excellent when complete. Games that are supported reportedly play great. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Gameboy_MiSTer/
It looks like the initial work has started for bringing CPS1 and CPS2 arcade support to the MiSTer. These arcade boards run some of the most popular Capcom games of all time, so this would be a big win for the arcade community if it’s successful! We’ll make sure to keep everyone aware of the […]

This week saw another big round of MiSTer core updates primarily focused on fixing bugs and moving to the new open-source scaler by Grabulosaure. The new scaler uses 10% of the resources of the old scaler, is easy and faster to compile using the free Quartus software (instead of the $5,000/year suite required for the […]

It is based on an open-source Zedboard FPGA implementation by a group of students from Carnegie Mellon University and is being ported to MiSTer by ElectronAsh. The core currently supports loading the BIOS and one game, a homebrew Mario Pong game created by the same […]
