MiSTer FPGA Forum

Unlike say, the Nintendo 64, I don't think anyone has ever given a serious argument that a Pentium PC was impossible on MiSTer. [...] One thing this does show, however, is how unlikely a Pentium processor coupled with a mid-90s accelerated graphics card would be. Like ao486, their project's FPGA is dominated by its emulated sound hardware, leaving...

The future for CRTs seems grim, but if eventually small-scale hobbyists can replace CRTs without needing large facilities and companies, that is a future worth working for. If projects like these are obscure, it just means that every knowledgeable person who contributes to them is making that much more of a difference building toward a solution. Ev...

I would love to see a PDP-11 core in MiSTer that everybody who was interested could safely collaborate on. I don't have any opinions about any existing PDP-11 cores or the people who made them. The attitude toward GPL here, however, is concerning. Compliance with GPL is actually easy and worthwhile. I doubt anyone involved with MiSTer is really try...

You can get a copy of pkunzip like we used in the DOS days. It works. But if you can, it's much preferable to unzip outside the core, from Linux, because it's much faster.
