MiSTer FPGA News: From 3DO Dreams to Fractal Eye Candy

If you thought the MiSTer FPGA was already a powerhouse, think again. The latest wave of updates is bringing everything from retro arcade classics to hypnotic digital art straight to your setup.

The headline star? “MiSTerbrot.” It’s a new Mandelbrot fractal core that serves as pure 90s-style digital eye candy. If you want to watch beautiful, real-time zooming and color cycling, this is your new favorite way to procrastinate.

For the heavy hitters, there’s plenty of progress on the hardware front:

• 3DO Accessibility: The in-development 3DO core can now run on a single SDRAM stick, making it much more accessible for the average user.
• PICO-8 arrives: Fans of the “fantasy console” can finally enjoy PICO-8 with full CRT support and scanlines—zero lag, all the vibes.

Arcade Wins: A massive Darius* core is available, running entire ROM sets end-to-end, while the CPS3 core is starting to show its first graphical bits in simulation.

Whether you’re looking for a new way to play Street Fighter 3rd Strike via the MiSTer Companion or just want to stare at fractals, the ecosystem is growing faster than ever.
