Xilinx revealed their new high-end FPGA, the Virtex VU19P, which will be the largest FPGA ever created. It comes from their line of 16nm UltraScale+ FPGAs and contains 35 billion transistors. It boasts the highest logic density and the input/output count (2,072) of any single device ever made, and is 1.6X larger than the Virtex […]
EDIT: Post revised on 08/23 & 8/25. An eBay seller recently listed a MiSTer RAM module and many people felt the title and description was misleading. First, the seller listed a 32MB (256MBIT) RAM module as “256mb”. While technically, that’s the truth (and depending what field of work you’re in, you might call it the […]

Terraonion just announced that their upcoming Mega SD romcart/FPGA device will support (through a future firmware update) the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Virtua Racing. Throughout the years, running Virtua Racing on clone systems, some emulators and FPGA cores often seemed to be problematic to say the least, as support for Sega’s SVP DSP couldn’t be […]
There’s now an eBay seller listing a sub-$40 do-it-yourself MVS “supergun” kits for any Neo Geo MVS board that uses the JAMMA standard (I believe mostly MV1B & MV1C). The creator previously sold some high quality MiSTer boards and has recently moved on to other projects, including this one. While I haven’t had a chance […]
Artemio has just publicly launched a project called MDFourier that’s focused on preserving the exact original audio output of game consoles. It works by using the 240p Test Suite software to generate a specific set of tones, which you can record with high-quality audio recording equipment. You can then run that same software via emulation, or […]
Konami, IP owner of the NEC TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine, has announced three new upcoming mini consoles, the TurboGrafx-16, PC Engine, and Core Grafx Minis. Each includes a controller and their own lineup of games. While I am normally dismissive of the plastic monstrosities that are mini consoles, if this is done well, it would […]

AtGames recently announced a full-size home arcade cabinet with 350 to 400 licensed games, but the story doesn’t end there. Currently, AtGames has a reputation for producing cheap consoles with sub-par emulation. As consumers, should we expect anything different from their new arcade cabinet? The answer may surprise you. A recent announcement from Glen’s Retro […]
Jacob Proctor has released an open-source PCB schematic for a Playstation 1, 2, and 3 audio-video breakout board. It supports RGBS, Component, Composite, S-video, stereo audio, and obviously is zero lag. Users can decide if they’d like to use RCA or BNC jacks, or a VGA breakout (like MiSTer’s IO Board), and it can do […]
