Furrtek has been working on preserving the Neo Geo MVS/AES/CD by meticulously reverse-engineering the hardware, with the goal of creating 1:1 cycle-accurate FPGA implementations of their hardware. He has even decapped many of the complex ICs to record their internal circuits. The original goal was to simply preserve the Neo Geo platform for all time, […]
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
Rene and Voultar have opened a MiSTer Discord Channel explicitly for development: https://discordapp.com/invite/EFtHsqH #MiSTer, #discord, #openvgs
MiSTer supports 1200p. The DE10-nano–which is what the MiSTer project is based round–maxes at about 1600×1200 realistically according to Electron Ash, and Rysha showed off screenshots of the NES core 5x integer scaled. It looks great if your display supports non-standard resolutions, and it will scale perfectly to 4K in the future. 5x scaling is […]
Jacob Proctor put 101 MiSTer IO & SDRAM Boards up for pre-order at Tinkerplunk.com and they sold out in about 24 hours. This is evidence of the growing enthusiasm for the MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console. #MiSTer, #tinkerplunk, #boards, #add-on, #io, #sdram
