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 […]
Frank_fjs, designer of the Sentinel Supergun, has released free Gerber design files for high-quality DIY JAMMA Arcade fingerboard edges at Arcade-Projects (registration required). This could come in handy when someone designs a MiSTer2JAMMA add-on board 😉 #arcade, #jamma, #fingerboard, #gerberdesign, #sentinel
Capcom programmed CPS-2 arcade boards to “suicide” when their original battery failed. The original decrypt key would be lost forever and the boards would die if their original battery died. The technique for decrypting the CPS-2 bios was first researched and documented at the Arcadehacker Blog and made open-source by the team that perfected it. […]
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: […]

The source code for Mortal Kombat 3 Arcade, Playstation, and PC was leaked on 4chan, as well as Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the Nintendo 64. The code also contains some comic relief from the original Mortal Kombat coders that Brizzo uncovered: ;******************; thanks wwf guys for wasting a day of my time !!! ;**************************************************************************;* *;* […]
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 […]
