MiSTer FPGA Roundup: N64 Turbo Tweaks, Tandy 1000 Split, and Bullet-Hell Comebacks! 🎮⚡
The MiSTer FPGA community is firing on all cylinders this month — with cool updates across arcade, home computer, and console emulation. Here’s the lowdown:
🔹 N64 Turbo Boosted!
User Corn has tweaked the N64 core — RSP and memory clocks jump to 93.75MHz and 187.5MHz, respectively, while the CPU stays at 93.75MHz (unlike older “full turbo” builds). The goal? Smoother performance in geometry-heavy games. Available now on Discord.
🔹 Tandy 1000 Gets Its Own Core!
Breaking from the PCXT core for efficiency, spark2k06 is splitting them out. Why? Some components only make sense on one system — freeing up FPGA space for future improvements. An early build is live on GitHub.
🔹 Bullet-Hell History Lesson
Toaplan’s final arcade classic, Batsugun, and its predecessor Dogyuun are both in development — with attention to accuracy (especially for the V25 microcontroller). These games helped define the “bullet hell” genre, so fans are watching closely.
🔹 SlapFight/Tiger Heli Reimagined
Anton Gale’s rework improves pause/high-score stability and adds a master clock toggle for 60Hz overclocking. A classic dual-stick shooter gets a modern polish.
🔹 More Goodies
- Sea Fighter Poseidon joins the Taito SJ core — scuba diving + torpedoes = 80s arcade fun.
- Zaparoo v2.9.0 drops a major UI overhaul + Kodi/LaunchBox love.
- MiSTer Organize v2 gets PC integration and RetroNAS support — finally, your ROMs can actually be sorted alphabetically.
- Update All 2.5 fixes CRT display issues — yes, really.
All in all: a strong week for MiSTer’s ever-evolving ecosystem. Keep those FPGA dreams alive! 🛠️
