VT52 Core A core that implements a VT52-compatible terminal emulator has been released by Fred Van Eijk. The VT52 was an early video terminal released in September 1975. These type of machines were also called dumb terminals because they did not do any processing on their own and only provided display and data entry capabilities. […]

When I got my hands on the […]
Mini NFC Card Reader Bedroom Ninja is now selling an NFC-Engine reader case that support smaller NFC cards. The original NFC-Engine case allows you to insert NFC cards via a card slot, just like the PC Engine. However, smaller cards will not firmly fit in it, so now there’s an option for them.

Video Player Using Zaparoo spark2k06 has created a way to launch movies using Zaparoo (previously called TapTo). This means that you can launch movies on your MiSTerFPGA using NFC cards. The ARM SOC on the DE10 Nano isn’t powerful enough to play high resolution content so you will be limited to low resolutions like 320×240. […]
Pre-orders are still open for the third batch of “MiSTer Pi’s” from Taki Udon. This is a homebrew version of the DE-10 Nano required to use a MiSTer and (despite the misleading name) has nothing to do with a Raspberry Pi. Both the full kits with a case, as well as case-less kits are still […]
