Jotego has had another CPS3 board donated thanks to mr_CaESar. The board will be disassembled and have it’s parts distributed for different analysis.

 

Son Son (Arcade)

Mike Simone has ported a core of the arcade game Son Son to MiSTer. This was a 2D platformer developed by Capcom and released in 1984. Update your MiSTer to obtain the core.

 

PCXT

The PCXT core’s hard disk drive support will work a lot easier due to the addition of full XTIDE support. There was a complicated process to set up hard drives before, but with this new update it should work similar to AO486’s HDD support.

Also there were new Tandy 1000 graphics modes added.

 

Exerion (Arcade)

Anton Gale has released the Exerion core. So far it’s not available by updating your MiSTer but you can still download it through the projects GitHub.

 

Express Raider (Arcade)

Pierco has started to move the Express Raider core from the simulation phase to an actual MiSTer core. The game is running on MiSTer and the next step is to tackle sound.

 

Amiga Internet Access

User abbub on the MiSTer FPGA forums has gotten the Amiga core working with internet access using a commercial program called Roadshow. This program is a TCP/IP stack for the Amiga that allows you to connect to the Internet and browse network shares. The program costs 25 euros and instructions on how to set it up are on the forum post.
