MiSTer FPGA Forum

I actually didn't know what the Game Child was until it was mentioned recently, and realised I had one (I think the football one) as a kid, I might still have it under my bed at my parents house. They're not really a "console" but a series of simple LCD games in shells that look like a Game Boy. Presumably support for these could be added...

Some good suggestions here, will get some more added to the list soon, been quite busy lately. I remember talking about Uzebox a good while back, I can't remember if people said it was doable or not, I'll need to go back and find that conversation, thanks for the reminder. Tamagochi is another I forgot about that has been mentioned before. With the...

This was discussed on the Discord the other day, so the GBC SNAC adaptor takes a GBA link cable as well, so we have the hardware already. It would need someone (probably Blue who designed the board and is currently implementing SNAC into PS1 core) to implement into the GBA core, which is no trivial task, but is doable. So keep your fingers crossed ...

Oh wow, that was quick! Good effort! I'll probably add the other similar era IREMs as it seems once we have M72 the rest should be fairly simple to implement as well.

Be worth doing Laser 500 and RCA Studio II, those are in various stages of development and we have file names.

There is also an Acorn System 1 unofficial MiSTer core that could be cleaned up or rewritten to work properly on MiSTer, it is a very simple (but historically significant) machine.

The FPGA chip in the Super NT isn't large enough to support the other special chips. As stated, the main selling point of the Analogue consoles is the ability to play original carts and it can play a flashcard, so you can play special chip games that way. The ability to play roms on Analogue consoles requires using an "unofficial" firmware.

Cool, well hopefully that list covers things - certainly for the SNES core with it's special chips.

There you go, let me know if I missed anything (which I likely have).

I have yet to see anyone ask "what do we have on MiSTer not on Analogue consoles?" It would be a much longer list.

A question that comes up a lot, especially on the Discord, is "What is on the Analogue consoles that we don't have (yet) on MiSTer?" so I though I would put it in a post here so we have a reference. This is covering purely emulation, and it is worth noting that the Analogue consoles are primarily a means of playing your original carts and...

Thanks for all the info guys, is much appreciated. I added images for all the consoles I could which I think makes it a much more engaging read, and less of a wall of text. I wish I had set this up for the initial post, but it was quite time consuming and faffy. I added Sega Pico, 74000 and Bandai Super Vision that people mentioned I had missed (ho...

If there are any you know of I have missed then please post - that would be ace. Always keen to learn about systems I have never heard of and can update the list.

Thanks, looks like we have the Mattel Aquarius already as it is indeed a computer, so have deleted that one.

I was thinking about doing something similar for computers, I am not as well versed but I could do something smaller and update as people mention ones they would like to see, would be a fun way to learn more about old PCs.

--Putting my virtual towel here on this deckchair for a follow up post on what I am hopeful we may see come to MiSTer in the future

Hi guys, so this has been a long time coming from me, it is a lengthy breakdown of all the various consoles released that we currently don't have on MiSTer and some musings about whether we could one day see cores for them. You may have seen a similar smaller post I did covering the viability of 5th Generation Consoles in the Atari Jaguar thread th...

Core menu ask for .bin, but i see .sv posted in this thread.

I get a blank screen on my CRT TV after selecting the roms. Maybe this core doesnt work with DirectVideo (although the menu shows ok)

The release version has "*.bin,sv" in the menu, .sv definitely works

If you use Downloader it will be GnW in the Consoles folder, but if you use Update All it also downloads and updates the names.txt file which displays the core in the menu as Game & Watch. I strongly recommend using names.txt even if you don't use Update All, as it makes navigating the cores so much easier. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_...

I fully agree with you. We need a central place open to anyone who wants to collaborate. I thought archive.org might be a good solution for long-term storage but uploads seem to be limited to one account only. Does anyone have a suggestion? Maybe a google drive people can upload to, then an archive owner can take the new files and keep the archive...

Something that would be really nice is if there was a single archive that the people doing the conversions were putting them, and then there was a MiSTer script that would grab any new ones, or ones that had been updated, a bit like Mame getter. Could potentially be done in a way that it could run off of update all. If we did go down this route mig...

Ace, thanks for doing those! Looks like the remaining ones are: -Crab Grab (doesn't seem to be artwork for this one, and is tall screen) -Rain Shower (tall screen) -Spitball Sparky (2 screens side by side) A assuming these different screen layouts aren't supported yet, you can see the artwork for the games here: https://www.progettosnaps.net/artwor...

Thanks dude, much appreciated!

So we have the CD32 schematics here, but there are none here for CD-TV which is a milestone on the way to CD32 support.

Does anyone have, or know where to find CD-TV schematics?

Update: got them!

These are the games that currently crash before getting into play: Classic Casino (USA, Europe).sv Climber (USA, Europe).sv Final Combat (USA, Europe).sv Pyramid (USA, Europe).sv Super Block (USA, Europe).sv These are the games with serious/game breaking issues: Crystball (USA, Europe).sv Dancing Block (USA, Europe).sv Linear Racing (USA, Europe).s...

It is finally time to start a thread for the Watara Supervision. For anyone that doesn't know this system, it was a cheapo Asian handheld from 1992 and boasted around 65 games. supervision1.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watara_Supervision Pierco worked on implementing this over a year ago, and had it in a decent WIP state, but he has not had ti...

Its great this is coming to MiSTer, Alan smashing out the old computers!

There is a test build on the discord if anyone is wanting to test it out:
https://discord.com/channels/6479093974 ... 4740588544

No, but presumably if people got it working in Sameboy this part has also been dumped and is available to be implemented. Unless I am missing something?

Thought it good to post this here, something that came up on the Discord the other week. The unreleased Workboy peripheral that was found awhile back (and the corresponding software was in the gigaleak) has had support added to the Sameboy emulator. https://sameboy.github.io/posts/release-0.14 For anyone wondering what this is, here is a video expl...

Is this a new homebrew? Is the mapper definitely numbered 3914?

Could this core be further developed to emulate both the 88 and 89 versions?
