MiSTer FPGA Just Got Wildly Cool (Again)
Let’s be real: if you’re still playing Pac-Land on an original arcade cabinet, we need to talk. But if you’re on MiSTer FPGA? You just got Pac-Land, Twin Cobra, Snow Bros, and now—Apple IIgs. Yes. The 1986 Apple with the color GUI is coming to your FPGA box. Your retro shelf is about to get very crowded.
And it’s not just classics. The Sega Channel? A dial-up-era game download service from the ‘90s? Now emulated. CD-i FMV playback got a massive upgrade—so you can finally watch those painfully slow “interactive” videos without wanting to throw your TV out the window. Even IQ151, a Czechoslovakian school computer from 1985? Done. Because why not?
Meanwhile, Jotego’s fixing CPS cores so Street Fighter II doesn’t sprint like it’s late for a bus. The Playstation core now lets you pick “Old GPU” mode—because nothing says nostalgia like 5:5:5 color bleeding. And Biduleman’s “Auto Save” SNES/NES core? Genius. No more forgetting to hit “Save to SD”—your progress won’t vanish if you power off mid-boss.
Oh, and the SuperStation One? A PlayStation-shaped MiSTer box that plays real PS1 discs. Yes, it’s real. And yes, it looks chef’s kiss.
MiSTer isn’t just keeping old tech alive—it’s turning it into a living, breathing museum with a cheat code.
Update your FPGA. Your 80s self will thank you.
