### Retro Gaming Reloaded: From Mac LC to Nintendo DS
If you thought the MiSTer FPGA ecosystem was slowing down, think again. The latest round of updates is nothing short of a whirlwind, bringing everything from vintage desktop computing to handheld gaming into the fold.
The big headline? We officially have a Mac LC core. It supports MacOS 6.0.8 through 7.5.5 and even handles floppy disk reading and CD-ROMs. It’s a massive win for anyone looking to relive the early 90s desktop era. On the handheld side, a “hybrid” Nintendo DS core has arrived; it uses the FPGA for 2D graphics and the ARM chip to keep 3D environments running at full speed.
Here are a few other highlights worth your attention:
PlayStation Polishing: A major update has fixed audio and performance issues for classics like Metal Gear Solid and Driver 2*.
New Arcade Action: Fresh cores have dropped for Bucky O’Hare, Rainbow Islands, and Godzilla*.
- System Tweaks: The z386 core is focusing heavily on compatibility, while the PCXT-EGA is splitting off to offer a dedicated, high-fidelity EGA experience.
Whether you’re looking to patch your ROMs via the new MiSTer Companion tools or just want to shoot some Thunderforce 2, there is plenty to sink your teeth into this week.
