For awhile, I had been looking at the Sega System 1 core developed by MiSTer-X for the MiSTerFPGA platform. I had tried to add support for Gardia (ガルディア) since I’m a shmups fan.

If you’re looking to connect your MiSTer to a SCART device, I recommend either a properly built cable, or an adapter. […]
