Developer Andy Grind recently posted an update to his Genesis port of the amazing 2D side-scrolling game Cave Story. At this point, it seems the game is complete-able and most major bugs have been worked out. I was able to play it a bit on real hardware and the game both looked and sounded great! […]

VerilogBoy is a project to fully implement original GameBoy hardware in FPGA. While it seems like it still has a ways to go before it might be considered a good solution for playing cycle-accurate GameBoy games on a large screen, it’s certainly seems to show some potential to that end. The project creator plans to […]

The game is completely playable and just has some polishing before it’s complete. I tested it on the latest MiSTer Sega Genesis core and it feels like a […]
Netflix really seems to have a thing for retro games and the 80’s in general. Castlevania, Stranger Things, Hi Score Girl, and now Bandersnatch. In this interactive movie, watchers are encouraged to interact in a “choose-your-own-adventure” style of game where choices determine the final outcome. That’s not what this article is about though.
Andy from element14 has just posted a video on how to make your own “game genie” cheat device for Atari 2600 cartridges. This mod uses the DE10 Nano, the same device used in the MiSTer FPGA setup!
