Re: Wild, Wacky Homebrew Idea

For the record, someone actually did port Shovel Knight to the NES. Actually, I can find footage of three different ports on YouTube. The only compromises made were from the way they had to use a 7:8 aspect ratio instead of a 9:16, and that they were limited to the 2A03/7's five sound channels due to using Western Hemisphere and PAL/SECAM NES model...

Wild, Wacky Homebrew Idea

News about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is blowing up YouTube. One can find some footage here . I realize that someone would need to contact Dotemu, Mirage Studios, and possibly Konami to secure consent, and obviously, the game needs to actually come out in completed form on PC and consoles in the first place, but would anyone b...

Re: X68000 With Non-Japanese Keyboard?

I would recommend a Unicomp 122 key keyboard. It has the advantage of sufficient macro keys to assign the missing key functions.

You're on your own for kanji stroke and kana key sublabels, though.

Re: Xilinx Zynq port? Kria K26

I don't see any GPIO on the K26, so adding I/O and special memory hats or shields looks a bit tricky. The Ultra96 looks better on paper, but without a direct ASIC gate to ASIC gate comparison (which both companies' marketing departments would object to, as it makes pulling the wool over customers' eyes harder), the only way to know for certain whet...

Re: What Do You Think Will Happen Once MiSTer Reaches It's Limits?

Well, we could start looking at playing what-if, speculating about computers and consoles that coulda-woulda-shoulda been, if only the stars had aligned and the suits had had a lick of honor. For example, extending the Minimig architecture with the functionality of the planned Ranger Chipset that the suits of CBM shelved because they wanted to pinc...
