MiSTer FPGA Forum

This topic is about cores you would like to see in the future. Cores that aren't being worked on already.

The cores i would like to see are.
-PolyGame Master (PGM) -- has a bunch of games i like, i guess more dodonpachi...
-MIDWAY WOLF UNIT HARDWARE -- has mortal kombat 3 ultimate and rampage world tour and some sports games.
-MIDWAY Y and t for the other mortal kombat games and other gems..
-SEIBU SPI HARDWARE -- some raiden games are on there.
- radian 2 (purple beam action)
- CAVE CV1000B -even more legendary cave games(idk if possible)
-- n64 core (crossing fingers)
-mac os 8 or 9.
- i only dream of noami even for mvc 2 and svc 2,(legendary) not expecting to run virtual tennis. Just the low end fighting games.
Maybe it's pushing it for the list, idk where getting saturn. so we can only wait and see over the years what the devs have to offer us.

Memotech MTX512
Philips CDi
Panasonic 3DO
Dragon 32/64 - I know we have the TRS-80, but the Dragon had some good titles.
Amstrad GX4000 - Most games were CPC ports, but it had a few specific titles.
Sega System 16
Sord M5
Konix Multisystem - no full games exist, some demos such as Jeff Minter's Attack of the Mutant Camels. But having one of the holy grail machines, with such history, in FPGA, would be something else.

Not going to happen, but one can dream - Sega System 32, Sega Model 1, Dreamcast, N64

Mac 68k exists .. called PlusToo though they might have renamed it now .. anyway its in the official repo .. one of the originals..

Dragon 32 (cassette at least) is covered by CoCo2. Dragon64 support is not working though (and no disk support as yet).

Being more interested in Computers than Arcade or Console I vote for

* A cycle accurate of the Tandy 1000 series (HX,TL,SL) with TGA & Hercule graphic card, to be also implemented in AO486)
* Commodore 128 (even if few apps available, this computer worth it to me).
* Apple IIGS

Paperboy
Atari Falcon
Enterprise Computer

Atari System 1 (Marble Madness, Road Runner, Indiana Jones)
Atari System 2 (paperboy, 720, super sprint, apb)
Hyper Sports, Hyper Olympics (track and field)
3DO
Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, Empire Strikes back.

Without any regard for feasibility:
- NextComputer
- Apple Lisa
- Commodore 128
- IBM 5050
- accurate IBM XT/AT/PS2
- DEC Vax
- Misc. ancient big iron like Burroughs, Data General, or Sun/SGI boxes

In alphabetical order:

Armor Attack
Astro Blaster
Bank Panic
Elevator Action
Exerion
Fantasy
Front Line
Gyrodine
Hyper Sports
Jungle Hunt
Karate Champ
Missile Command
Mr. Do!
Pacland
Paperboy
Qix
Roc'n Rope
Tempest
The SImpsons
Tutankham
Zoo Keeper

Thanks! I didn't realize the older mac's had 68k's in them. I meant a newer 68K mac with color, like my LC III. I haven't tried the MiSTer core yet to see what it is capable of because I assumed it was less than my LC III.

Also, I forgot to add Star Wars and Paperboy to my list. I will edit it...

Personally I would love to see:

Wonderswan
A synthesizer core (DX7, TG100, MT-32, Sound Canvas, etc)
Jotego's X68000 core

WOPA.. shall we play a game?
KITT (Not KARR.. don't want evil cores that threaten to take over the world)
ORAC (I've got a thing about arrogant computers)
Dr. Theopolis or Twiki (can live without Twiki to be honest)
Metal Mickey (he's the cutest robot yet..)
Simon.. simples
The Star Wars digital watch I had when I was 9 (mum got me it from kays catalogue)
Quantel Paintbox, just cos I'd like to recreate some of the 80's Top of the Pops effects
The Puckman game I had when I was 8.. (don't know what happened to it)
The Casio calculator I had at Junior school that played Frogger.. which a boy in the year above me grabbed and threw under the portacabin, I never got it back.. still gutted.

I've put my MiSTer in a clear case from misterfpga.co.uk and now it looks like a mini ORAC.
Might as well also request the sarcastic computer from Red Dwarf.

That would be awesome.

The Puckman game I had when I was 8.. (don't know what happened to it)

I remember that one, one of the kids at school had it, it was cool.

Wow, I can imagine. I guess they are pretty expensive now.

haha i've got mine in a clear case too.. and it does look like a mini ORAC I can't believe I never thought to include Holly in my list.. rookie mistake..

Maybe someone could start with Talky Toaster and work their way up from there

Talkie's the name, toasting's the game. your chirpy breakfast companion...

or the talking vending machine..

"Fish! Fish! Fish!" hahaha. Somehow we are still talking about MiSTer cores

Pentium + 3DFX based PC core

I’m afraid Sega Model 2 and that PC core won’t fit on the FPGA but I’m hoping. All these developers have been working miracles up to this point so who knows.

I think for me the most important core for the Mister will be the most demanding core possible on the platform so we can say, this is it guys! We touched the ceiling of what we can do, we can't port any higher spec cores on the platform. My guess is that it will probably be a N64 core or a 3dfx card combine with a Pentium like processor core. This would probably require an hybrid between FPGA simulation and arm emulation but it should be possible. ^^

Other than that, I'm already so happy with the Mister and PSX and Saturn core coming up are just the cherry on top! The devs here are just geniuses! Big congrats! You're the historians of gaming, making sure the video game legacy never fades away! Thank you for that.

Doesn't count. Immature and not under current development.
