My Life in Gaming & SmokeMonster Talk MiSTer
I joined the My Life in Gaming weekly stream to talk all things MiSTer. We set a new record for viewers on the channel, with almost 550 people tuning in for the FPGA chat at one point.

FirebrandX NES Palettes in MiSTer
FirebrandX’s custom NES palettes are coming to MiSTer thanks to Rysha’s new release, and they load straight from the menu. Rysha has provided a test build of the NES core with the new palettes, FDS support, and nearest-neighbor scaling.
Complete MiSTer Without IO Board
The only add-on you need to have a complete MiSTer that runs all cores is the SDRAM board, since the IO board is only necessary for adding analog output (RGB/RGBS/RGBHV/VGA/Component to SCART/BNC/RCA/VGA/etc) and to house the fan. Using the IO board as a fan mount is complete overkill if you only need HDMI output though, […]
MiSTer Famicom Disk System FPGA Core
MiSTer’s NES core is getting Nintendo Famicom Disk System (FDS) support care of GreyRogue, making it the first FPGA system that natively supports FDS without needing additional hardware to load ROMs. The same update also adds expansion audio for VRC6 and Sunsoft-5B mapper games (Gimmick, Akumajou Dracula, etc). For a first release, it’s relatively mature. […]
MiSTer 3D Supports for IO & RTC Boards
Warham shared 3D design files for MiSTer IO & RTC board supports. It will only fit IO boards that don’t have the external LED & button pin connector installed, so make sure that yours is a match before printing. #mister, #fpga, #3dprinting, #standoffs
MiSTer Pack List v1.0 Launched
My v1.0 MiSTer ROM Pack List was launched after over a month of work by a team based out of the SmokeMonster Patreon-Elite Discord, led by Rysha. Fully compiled, it spans nearly 200,000 games, dozens of console/arcade/home-computer platforms, and decades of video game history. Hash Database: https://github.com/SmokeMonsterPacks/EverDrive-Packs-Lists-Database Release NotesThis is a suggested layout for the […]
New MiSTer Scaler & Arcadia 2001 & VC 4000 Core (C2650)
Grabulosaure has been testing a new scaler for MiSTer using the Genesis core as a guinea pig (analog only lite build). When complete, it could be used as an upgraded scaler for other cores. It is early, but two cores built using the scaler are available here. Cores built using the new scaler will have […]
SmokeMonster’s MiSTer Celebrity Telethon: RetroRGB, My Life in Gaming, Rene, Lon.TV, Digital Eclipse, Tinkerplunk, and Teddy!
I hosted a live telethon fundraiser for the open-source MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console Project. We had celebrity guests and talked FPGA dev until the phones stop ringing! Altogether we raised around $1,700 (including the pre-show direct contributions to Alexey, the in-stream Super Chats, the live Streamlabs, and late direct donations). Featuring Bob: RetroRGB, Lon: Lon.TV, Coury: […]
MiSTer Sega Genesis Core Update
Alexey (Sorgelig) released an update to the Sega Genesis core: Many fixes in new releases. Titan Overdrive – everything is perfect now.Titan Overdrive 2 – mostly OK. There is unknown cause of audio lag. Arcade scene flickers and won’t be fixed (as it useless for games). Known issues:– Outrunners USA have dots. Use Japan version […]
MiSTer Cores Without Add-On Boards
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 […]
