MiSTer FPGA Just Got a Whole Lot More Fun — Here’s Why You Should Care
If you thought your MiSTer FPGA was already the ultimate retro time machine, think again. This week’s updates are like a nostalgia bomb with extra sprinkles.
First up: Apple IIgs is now playable (sort of). Screenshots of Space Ace are live, and while you can’t download it yet, the source is on GitHub—so if you’re tech-savvy, grab your soldering iron and start compiling. Meanwhile, the Elan Enterprise (a Z80-powered 1985 gem) got an official core—no more manual installs. And hey, Brazil’s own TK2000, an Apple II clone, now works too. Retro diversity FTW.
Arcade lovers: Run & Gun (yes, a 3D basketball game from Konami) just left beta. Surprise Attack is now stable. And rumor has it Caliber 50 is next—with Arbalester and Twin Eagle tagging along. Jotego’s on a roll.
CD-i got FMV fixes that actually look right now. Atari 8-bit fans, VBXE support is coming… in a separate branch (because priorities). And the Reflex Prism? A clever little box that turns RGB into S-Video for your CRT—no core mods needed.
Oh, and if you’re in Brazil or China? Downloader 2.3 just got faster and smarter with NTP and proxy support. Plus, MiSTer Organize now supports Sega Saturn. Yes, really.
The future of retro is not just preserved—it’s polished. And it’s getting better every week.
