MiSTer FPGA News – A Wild Roundup of Cores, Fixes & Fun! 🎮⚡
This week on the MiSTer FPGA front, it’s like a retro game developer convention exploded in your living room — and we’re all just picking up the controller bits. Let’s break it down:
🔹 Ondra SPO 186 – That sleek Czechoslovakian 8-bit beast gets a major upgrade: screen jump fixes, new firmware (1.4!), menu polish, and video clock sync for that buttery-smooth image fidelity. If you’re into obscure Eastern Bloc geeks, head to 72ka’s GitHub — games and docs galore.
🔹 Apple IIgs – Still WIP, but active dev on the forums means real progress (and bugs to squash!). Join the hunt if you love poking at vintage Mac-adjacent magic.
🔹 CD-i Core – Moving fast behind the scenes. FMV playback improving, compatibility jumping — grab test builds if you’re brave enough to live on the edge.
🔹 FixEight, Knuckle Bash, and Ghox — all Toaplan-powered arcade bangers getting FPGA love from CoinOp Collection. Think overhead shooter chaos, beat-’em-up fists flying, and Arkanoid-meets-vertical-scrolling madness.
🔹 Tutankham core drops! From Konami originals to bootlegs and even custom ROM sets (hello, Tutankham II), RodimusFVC’s got the arcade classic locked in.
🔹 And yes — MiSTer Companion v1.0 is now a thing: a slick Windows GUI for managing your FPGA rig like a pro (SMB sharing, remote reboots, updates with live logs — yes please).
Bonus: Bubble Universe (a trippy interactive visual demo), C128 + PCXT updates galore, and Ranny Snice’s new wallpapers (Contra/MatMania vibes).
Bottom line: FPGA momentum is real. Keep your cores updated and your curiosity higher than a high score. 🕹️✨
