In 2012, Torlus wrote an open-source FPGA Atari Jaguar called JagNetLists. It was built for the Stratix-II FPGA in the Nios-II dev kit, and contained a working 68000 implementation. ElectronAsh has started the process of porting JagNetLists to MiSTer and just released his initial code on Github with the hope that someone can step in […]
UPDATE From Bob, Summer 2020: After quite a few months of testing, switches compatible with the original Terasic PSU have been found. Everything else in this article is accurate though and you shouldn’t use low-quality switches with any PSU (including the alternatives listed below)… Several users have reported voltage drops when using 5.5mm barrel […]
Prices have been announced for the Sentinel Supergun. Originally envisioned as a cheap device, the Sentinel’s features and quality steadily rose until it is basically as much as, or more expensive than the HAS. Sentinel Features 4 layer PCB with gold immersion finish. RGBS buffered by THS7374 with switch to toggle the LPF. Dipswitch to […]
The much anticipated Darksoft Neo Geo AES Multi flash-cart is in the testing phase. It will offer many of the same features of the MVS Multi: ultra fast game loading, multi-slot functionality (transforming the AES into a multi-slot AES/MVS hybrid), graphic or text-based menu, etc. And it will have a new molded cartridge shell. A […]
As I reported last week, a new and never-before-seen Super Nintendo FPGA emerged recently and took the world by surprise. Srg320 presented a relatively complete SNES implementation, complete with special chip integration. Now that core is on MiSTer. SNES FPGA porting to MiSTer proceeded at a tremendous pace, with ElectronAsh undertaking the effort to get […]
The DreamPort by DreamMods is an upcoming product that will add 4 bluetooth controller ports to Dreamcasts (for use with the DreamConn), and replaces the problem-proned and hot-running power supply. Their website shows a picture of the DreamPort prototype board. Source: http://www.dreammods.net/dreamconn.html
Superguns allow you to attach real arcade game PCBs to televisions for gameplay. A new budget oriented supergun has emerged, the Parsec. It should be safe for modern video equipment because it has a video encoder that outputs proper RGB, unlike simple pass-through Superguns that endanger video equipment due to the vast range of […]
A big rounds of MiSTer core updates went out over the weekend. The most important is the addition of Ijor’s cycle-accurate Motorola 68000 soft-core to the Genesis core, as expected. As well as the addition of Sega Game Gear support added to the Sega Master System core, and official Famicom Disk System support added into […]
The 1974 Altair 8800 was the first commercially successful home-computer ever released, and MiSTer just got an open-source core for it care of Fred VanEijk and Cyril Venditti. The 8800 can be programmed to play music (like Daisy, and Fool on the Hill) and a simple bit-chasing game. While cores like this have little mass […]
srg320 released what appears to be a well made, open-source, relatively complete Super Nintendo/Super Famicom core for a Cyclone FPGA with special chip support already integrated. The release came out of nowhere, as has become the norm for FPGA developments. Users are currently investigating if it can be quickly brought over to MiSTer. A random […]
