### MiSTer FPGA: Fighting Games, Laserdiscs, and a Warning

If you thought your MiSTer library was getting crowded, think again. The latest wave of updates is bringing some heavy hitters to the FPGA scene, ranging from arcade legends to some very ambitious “what if” projects.

The big news? We’re getting some serious combat capability. Jotego has released a beta core for Street Fighter III: Third Strike, and Killer Instinct 1 & 2 are officially playable (though they still need a little polish). If you prefer shooting things, the new Psikyo and Sammy/Seta/Visco cores are absolute goldmines for shoot ’em up fans.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the highlights:

The Heavy Hitters: New cores for Namco System 11 & 12 (hello, Tekken 3!), Sony ZN1, and even a working Dragon’s Lair* implementation.

  • The Wildcard: A DVD player core is officially in development. It’s early days, but the goal is to let you pop in a commercial disc and actually watch movies.
  • Retro Vibes: The Commodore 64 core now includes floppy drive sounds for that extra hit of nostalgia.

One quick heads-up: If you were eyeing the DE25 Nano, hold your horses. There’s a hardware flaw regarding clock speeds, so avoid buying one until a revision is released.
