Ijor released the source code for FX68K a cycle-accurate Motorola 68000 soft-core (soft cores are components, rather than whole platforms) that was first hinted at in the release of his Atari ST core FXCAST. The 68000 was a common processor used in a wide range of consoles, home PCs, and arcade games. Having a perfect […]
GreyRogue has submitted code to add Sega Game Gear support to MiSTer’s Master System FPGA core. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/SMS_MiSTer/pull/8
FirebrandX’s custom NES palettes are coming to MiSTer thanks to Rysha’s new release, and they load straight from the menu. Rysha has provided a test build of the NES core with the new palettes, FDS support, and nearest-neighbor scaling.
The only add-on you need to have a complete MiSTer that runs all cores is the SDRAM board, since the IO board is only necessary for adding analog output (RGB/RGBS/RGBHV/VGA/Component to SCART/BNC/RCA/VGA/etc) and to house the fan. Using the IO board as a fan mount is complete overkill if you only need HDMI output though, […]
MiSTer’s NES core is getting Nintendo Famicom Disk System (FDS) support care of GreyRogue, making it the first FPGA system that natively supports FDS without needing additional hardware to load ROMs. The same update also adds expansion audio for VRC6 and Sunsoft-5B mapper games (Gimmick, Akumajou Dracula, etc). For a first release, it’s relatively mature. […]
