If you’re in the camp that looks at retro games and wishes that they had a true widescreen option that doesn’t rely on weird stretching techniques, then emulators like WideNES and now Wide GB might satisfy that need. Based on a modified version of sameboy, Wide GB includes an extra option: “Use Widescreen”. Enabling this […]
VerilogBoy is a project to fully implement original GameBoy hardware in FPGA. While it seems like it still has a ways to go before it might be considered a good solution for playing cycle-accurate GameBoy games on a large screen, it’s certainly seems to show some potential to that end. The project creator plans to […]
A big rounds of MiSTer core updates went out over the weekend. The most important is the addition of Ijor’s cycle-accurate Motorola 68000 soft-core to the Genesis core, as expected.
