Zaparoo Wizzo recently wrote a technical article on the Zaparoo website discussing some of the things he’s working on. An issue being resolved for Zaparoo, is the problem of making cards reliably launch the same game between different devices.

There’s an Add/fix MRAs (Zakk) Improved horizontal/vertical crop (kuba-j) Implement SAV file mounting (Zakk) Some games affected by this update include: Greatest Nine ’98 NBA […]
Possible MiSTer 4K Board in the works A possible add-on board for the MiSTer FPGA was proposed on the official Discord server by woozle, who is behind the Morph4K upscaler. This is supposed to be a 4K upscale board. Here are some of the keypoints mentioned in the initial post: It should fit in current […]
I was just able to borrow two MiSTer Multisystem 2’s from a friend who ordered them and wanted to test the analog video output, as well as take a look at the console itself. Overall though the design of one motherboard with both the DE-10 and 24-Bit I/O board integrated together really made it feel […]
Jotego Updates Jotego reminded us work for the cores based on Run’n Gun and CPS3 hardware continues but there are a few stepping stones like: -Adding Golfing Greats to the JTRIDERS, as it uses the same pseudo 3D chip as Run’n Gun but without a frame buffer -Frame buffer is a requisite for CPS3 Additionally […]
There are several ways to output 15KHz emulation via GroovyMAME and RetroArch without an external downscaler such as CRTEmudriver for Windows and the Linux distro Batocera. These are very solid options to play retro games in their native resolution on a standard definition CRT, but more options are always welcome. Groovy MiSTer by the late […]
Setting up a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is a great way to share your gaming library amongst multiple MiSTer FPGA’s (or computers), or if you want an easier way of updating your game library without having to turn on your MiSTer FPGA. There are tons of ways of doing this. You can configure your […]
Super Station One Direct CD-ROM Loading Taki Udon posted an update on the Super Station One that talks about the system loading PlayStation games directly from disc, instead of dumping the game first and then running the game. It is still recommended to have the games locally stored on the MiSTer FPGA for performance reasons, […]
Atari Falcon Chips Decapped On the MiSTer FPGA forums, user pepito posted about about some custom chips for the Atari Falcon being decapped. This was a project that started back towards the end of 2024. Because of this team, we will have complete die shots of the Videl, SDMA and Combel chips. They are still […]
Exidy 440 Anton Gale has been working on an Exidy 440 core, but development has been longer than expected. This is due to Anton wanting to restore an Exidy 440 cabinet, for the game Cheyenne. Exidy 400 is arcade hardware from the early 80’s that was used to run many lightgun games. Post : https://x.com/antongale/status/1931480137297473579 Crossbow […]
