There have been quite a number of videos regarding the upcoming Neo Geo AES+ but this is the best one I've I've found. I think I'll just stick with the MiSTer FPGA Neo Geo core.
I'm still waiting on my SSO with SuperDock to arrive... but maybe in a few weeks. Anyhoo... here's a nice breakdown of the hardware from a guy who does it very well. Enjoy!
Heber and The Retro Collective announced today that they are opening up pre-orders for the MultiSystem 2 Arcade. YouTuber "Video Game Esoterica" already has a review video on it. Their target ship date is in August 2026. They have all of the components needed to build the systems, they just need to do a production run of the motherboard. Enjoy the video.
In the past couple of weeks there has been a lot of work done on the Atari Jaguar work-in-progress core for the MiSTer FPGA. Timing was fine tuned, the CD streaming buffer / cache was enlarged for smooth playback, the Virtual Light Machine (VLM) was greatly improved, and support for GameDrive/Homebrew was added. I made a video that contrasts the previous core build with one from yesterday. Much thanks to MiSTer FPGA developers Kitrinx and GrayRogue. Enjoy!
What's Ken Making? In this case, an enclosure for a add-on screen... but he does a nice job of covering his review unit of the Multisystem 2 from Heber. I guess I'll just have to wait for mine to come in August.
I've got one of these orders but won't likely get it until sometime in August. I'm really looking forward to it arriving.
Most of this was over my head but it was impressive. See if you can figure it out.
If you buy the original Terassic DE10-Nano, that'll likely set you back about $235 plus shipping... and then you'll likely want the SDRAM addon, USB board, and maybe the Analog I/O board. A traditional MiSTer FPGA setup will easily set one back around $400. You can get a complete MiSTer Pi setup for around $180... although shipping from Hong Kong is likely more than we are used to ($31-$40).
Anyway, I picked up two of these systems last night but it'll be a while until they arrive. The following video highlights the MiSTer Pi system mainly by pointing out the much lower cost while focusing on many of the popular FPGA cores that are part of the MiSTer FPGA project. Enjoy!
A big thanks to Lu for putting this together!
YouTube entity My Life in Gaming has come out with a comprehensive/long video covering the MiSTer FPGA and how it is had a major impact in the retro gaming industry. Enjoy!
The video is over 2.5 hours but luckily they do have an index for skipping over and directly accessing whatever might interest you the most.
