MiSTer

Video Game Esoterica has a nice summary video of all of the MiSTer FPGA updates for the month of July 2024.  Enjoy!

Video Game Esoterica released a May 2024 updates video that basically covers what's been going on in the last month.  Enjoy.

I bought a MiSTercade board a while ago.  Only problem is that I don't have a JAMMA cabinet to use it with.  I have my eye on a Storm from AwesomeArcades based out of Idaho... but I haven't come up with the cash for it yet.  That doesn't have a CRD so things like the NES Zapper wouldn't work... but there are some alternative light guns that would work if I wanted that.  Anyhoo, here's Retro Ralph's take on the MiSTer.  Enjoy!

The price of this board is reported to be $99, and a 128GB RAM module is going to be only $15.

Video Game Esoterica put together a 2023 year in review video.  I don't think I would have selected any different than he did.  Enjoy!

Work on this is moving at breakneck speed.  Here's a video showing a recent build but they are coming fast so it'll likely be outdated real soon... but what's there is pretty impressive.  Enjoy!

I need to give this one (the work-in-progress Sega Saturn core) a try but so far I haven't.  Looks pretty darn good.  I'm sure there is still a lot of work left but the progress made thus far looks very promising.  I've been subscribed to the developer's patreon (<a href="https://discord.com/channels/647909397477195803/806644464834969640/1047355308210671666">Srg320</a>) for well over a year and I hope he is making a reasonable living from all of the work he has put in.  He has made a number of impressive cores for the MiSTer FPGA.  Big thanks to Video Game Esoterica putting the video together.  He does good work too.  Enjoy!

Bob from RetroRGB interviewed MiSTer FPGA script author Wizzo .  I haven't tried any of the scripts yet but man do they sound handy / useful.  I'll have to give several of them a try ASAP.  Enjoy!

What scripts are there?  Lots of really useful ones.  Check them out here.

Artemio Urbina talks to Martin Donlon (aka Wickerwaka) about the MiSTer FPGA, Irem M92 (and M72) Arcade hardware, how video is handled in arcade boards, how MDfourier was used to check audio by him for the core, how M.A.M.E. helps during development and much, much more.   Enjoy!

A big thanks to Lu for putting this together!
