MiSTer Main now supports the abilitty to use your mouse’s wheel as a spinner. This feature is useful for some spinner devices that output as wheel. You may also need to fine tune the value for “spinner_throttle” when using this feature.

NES Famicom Keyboard Support
The NES core added support for the Famicom keyboard. This was a peripheral for the Famicom that came with the Family Basic package and allowed you to program in BASIC on the NES.
Mike Simone’s Y/C Work
MiSTer Main has integrated support for S-Video and Composite output, making separate cores no longer needed. All official cores still need to be updated to include support, but since the integration is part of the MiSTer Framework, the process should be easier to implement.
