SNESTang
The SNESTang is getting a menu system rewrite for versino 0.3 and a RISCV softcore was added to handle menu and I/O. This softcore also opens the door to other features like save states, cheats, button remapping, resolution settings and more.
Games Database
PigSaint, who worked on updating the arcade names file for MiSTer, now has a new project. This project consists of a game database that seeks to unify all the relevant information about each title in one place. You can read up more on the project and see what’s currently been implemented on a free public patreon post.
