Mark's Ad-Hoc MiSTer FPGA Series - Waffelage On The Computer Cores - Episode 2
3#MiSTer #FPGA #computer
In these videos I quickly show the various computer cores that you can use on the MiSTer FPGA and at the same time I waffle about my personal experiences with the various systems.
MiSTer FPGA System
The MiSTer project aims to recreate and emulate a wide range of classic computer and gaming hardware using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) attempting to accurately replicate the behavior of vintage hardware, allowing enthusiasts to experience retro computing and gaming on modern displays with exceptional accuracy.
The foundation of the MiSTer project is the DE10-Nano board, developed by Terasic in collaboration with Intel. One of the key differentiators of the MiSTer project is its dedication to accuracy. Unlike traditional software-based emulators that mimic the behavior of vintage systems through code, FPGAs allow for a much closer approximation of the original hardware's behavior. This means that the MiSTer project can replicate the idiosyncrasies, quirks, and timing intricacies of the original systems with remarkable precision.
The MiSTer project has garnered a dedicated community of enthusiasts, developers, and contributors who collaborate to develop and refine FPGA cores for various systems. The community continually improves these cores, enhancing compatibility, accuracy, and performance over time.
The MiSTer project's versatility isn't limited to gaming consoles. It also supports computer systems like the C64, Atari 800, BBC Micro, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, Atari ST, Sharp X68000 and even early IBM PCs upto a 486 running Windows95, turning the DE10-Nano board into a flexible platform for experiencing a broad range of computing history & gaming.
