As more people are integrating their MiSTer setups into a CRT-based arcade machine, one small concern is popping up: The potential for burn-in as the machine is left on during the update process. This is a tiny concern and only one that’s relevant after continuous use, but since CRT’s are long out of production, anything you […]
It looks like paulb-nl has just added the ability to load custom Super Game Boy borders, when using MiSTer’s Game Boy core.
