Grabulosaure has been testing a new scaler for MiSTer using the Genesis core as a guinea pig (analog only lite build). When complete, it could be used as an upgraded scaler for other cores. It is early, but two cores built using the scaler are available here. Cores built using the new scaler will have […]
I hosted a live telethon fundraiser for the open-source MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console Project. We had celebrity guests and talked FPGA dev until the phones stop ringing! Altogether we raised around $1,700 (including the pre-show direct contributions to Alexey, the in-stream Super Chats, the live Streamlabs, and late direct donations). Featuring Bob: RetroRGB, Lon: Lon.TV, Coury: […]
Alexey (Sorgelig) released an update to the Sega Genesis core: Many fixes in new releases. Titan Overdrive – everything is perfect now.Titan Overdrive 2 – mostly OK. There is unknown cause of audio lag. Arcade scene flickers and won’t be fixed (as it useless for games). Known issues:– Outrunners USA have dots. Use Japan version […]
Many MiSTer Cores require no add-ons, so all you need is a DE10-nano for a turn-key FPGA Super-Console! You don’t have to wait for boards to play PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16/SuperGrafx, Sega Genesis, Master System, ARCADE, and lots more! Many people have said that we need a TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine FPGA Console, well now we do and it’s […]
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 […]
