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 […]
Binarybond007 posted a video show the progress of ijor’s beta Atari ST core for the MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console Platform. #MiSTer, #fpga, #atarist
Rene and Voultar have opened a MiSTer Discord Channel explicitly for development: https://discordapp.com/invite/EFtHsqH #MiSTer, #discord, #openvgs
MiSTer supports 1200p. The DE10-nano–which is what the MiSTer project is based round–maxes at about 1600×1200 realistically according to Electron Ash, and Rysha showed off screenshots of the NES core 5x integer scaled. It looks great if your display supports non-standard resolutions, and it will scale perfectly to 4K in the future. 5x scaling is […]
Jacob Proctor put 101 MiSTer IO & SDRAM Boards up for pre-order at Tinkerplunk.com and they sold out in about 24 hours. This is evidence of the growing enthusiasm for the MiSTer FPGA Multi-Console. #MiSTer, #tinkerplunk, #boards, #add-on, #io, #sdram
MiSTer IO board v5.5 added a USB jack that is used as a direct serial link to the FPGA core, for ultra low-latency (32ns) inputs, to be used for things like controllers, MIDI, etc. ElectronAsh & rattboi are already working on a controller add-on board with DB15 (Neo Geo MVS/AES/CD, and Arcade), DB9 (Genesis, Atari, […]
Rattboi posted pictures of his open-source Genesis-to-PCE/TurboGrafx-16 Controller Converter on the SmokeMonster Patreon Discord. This is the v1 Beta, and he already has a v2 schematic ready, which will add a switch to map Button A to Select or Run. This will allow you to switch between 2-button and 3-button PCE/TG16 controller mode. He’s also […]
