Video: MiSTer Pi, a much cheaper alternative to the Terassic DE10-Nano for the MiSTer FPGA project.

Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Tue, 11/19/2024 - 12:12

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!

Video: Retro Ralph takes the MiSTer FPGA Plunge

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!

Video: Incus 6.0 LTS released

Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Sun, 04/07/2024 - 14:17

Some time ago, most of the LXD team at Canonical were laid off, and LXD was removed from containers.org.  Incus was forked from LXD and, so far as I'm concerned, is the future of containers on Linux.  It also manages KVM VMs too.  Granted, I'm not much of a fan of application containers.  Here's a video announcing the release of Incus 6.0 LTS.  Enjoy!
