Coming soon to a MiSTer near you... Saturn automatic RAM cart. The core detects the game and applies the correct 1M/4M RAM cart as needed. No more memorizing game requirements nor learning Japanese to decode the error messages! Thanks to @srg320_ for the guidance.

What happens when I combine everything I know about programming and the Mega Drive, a LOT of patience digging into technical challenges, some vibe coding, and cutting-edge AI? What seemingly impossible game could we port to a stock Mega Drive without enhancement chips? The graphics and performance still need work, but I've already managed to play through the entire game from start to finish without a single crash! Can you guess the game from these screenshots?

PAPRIUM 0.2.6 will roll out for MiSTer & Analogue Pocket today! 🎮 It's a big one, & it's the first release w/Sega CD & 32x Details below 👇 1. NEW (MiSTer + Pocket): CPU buddy! Play co-op with a computer-controlled partner, built to match the 68k Sub-CPU. 60,000 simulations ran & it matched the full 68k 1:1. 2. NEW (MiSTer + Pocket): Console & Region switching: you can set the console the game detects & will automatically set it to that consoles region. (PAL not supported yet) 3. NEW (MiSTer + Pocket): Sega CD & 32x mode: enable and select the sega cd console you want the game to detect. Adds cpu buddy support (sega cd) & 32x mode adds 32x shaped throwable items. 4. NEW (MiSTer + Pocket): SCUM! menu! You get every GrandStick III option, including Arcade Mode, Level Select & Arena. 5. NEW (MiSTer + Pocket): "Little-Man" menu. Do you suck at games?

#z486_MiSTer 20261012 is out 🎉 - Game compatibility: Corridor 7, BioForge, The Incredible Machine 3, Wolfenstein 3D, etc - More x87 instructions: FSINCOS, FPREM1, etc - Hardware breakpoints, tested with Turbo Debugger github.com/nand2mario/z486_M…

My passion project got upgraded. We’ve been making a lot of progress on FPGBA SP. Yes, it plays real cartridges, and yes, I am considering a regular FPGBA version. I’m still trying to make this work for around $100.

'88 Games and Rollergames come to #MiSTerFPGA and other platforms. Also releasing Slap Fight/Tiger Heli for small FPGAs (MiST/SiDi). And Toaplan shooters based on our own RE work patreon.com/jotego/posts/88-…

Linux 6.18 running on #z486_MiSTer. Interestingly, GRUB 2 uses the CR4 register, which isn’t available on the 486. So let's boot the old-school way with SYSLINUX.

#z486_MiSTer 20261006 is out🚀: Windows 95, much-requested scaler improvements, and many newly supported games, including Links 386 Pro, Strike Commander, TFX, Wing Commander Privateer, Armored Fist and more. z486 now performs like a 486DX2-66. github.com/nand2mario/z486_M…

Finally ready to launch the first version of our PAPRIUM Pocket Port on MiSTer. Has all the fixes & such from PAPRIUM Pocket & uses the same PCM audio blob. This also has an auto load MGL. run that instead of the normal PAPRIUM core to auto load the game & audio. Then just hit reset in the menu screen after mini game. We know @Pezz82Mister already has an amazing MiSTer port and there is no reason to switch honestly. This is really just a way for us to update our fixes faster as we roll out built in Audio. github.com/thekoalakoa/Papri… #PAPRIUM #MiSTerFPGA

Win95 is up on #z486_MiSTer, after many bug fixes.
