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
The MiSTer is an open-source project that emulates consoles, computers and arcade boards via FPGA – This is different from software emulation, as there’s potential for performance exactly like the original. While software emulation has the potential to be really accurate as well, you’re much more likely to get zero lag via FPGA emulation, making this […]
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, […]
Smokemonster just posted a great overview of the MiSTer FPGA platform. He explains what it is, how you can use it…and how to get some of the amazing FPGA cores!
The PC Engine / TurboGraphx 16 FPGA core originally developed by @Torlus has been ported to the MiSTer board (a faster MiST FPGA board) thanks to GreyRogue and Sorgelig. Here is the link: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/TurboGrafx16_MiSTer Thanks to ElectronAsh to report the news.
Developer Rumbleminze recently released another NES to SNES conversion, this time for the original Castlevania game. Like with Rumbleminze’s previous NES to SNES conversions, this is utilizing FastROM/HiROM to further speed up the data transfer. That, combined with the SNES’ higher sprite limit should reduce (or completely eliminate) sprite flicker and slowdown. This also includes rumble support, […]
