MARS FPGA Finalizes Specs...So When Can We See It Run Games?

When enough of you keep asking me the same questions I try to listen...so here we go; Let's discuss MARS FPGA and how it compares to MiSTer FPGA. What do I know about the MARS FPGA project? Well...about as much as you do! But as someone who talks about retro gaming and MiSTer FPGA weekly and as an advocate for FPGA gaming in general...apparently you want to know what I think! So what do I think? I think Kuato is pretty cool! and now the finalized MARS FPGA specs are out there along with finalized case designs leaving us with the question...when will we see MARS FPGA run games? So we can do a MARS FPGA review like we do with the MiSTer FPGA review videos
and lately I have been getting asked a lot about MARS FPGA as to whether or not MARS FPGA was cancelled or if MARS FPGA is dead...so let's take a look at the current status of the presumptive MiSTer FPGA competitor that isn't Analogue Pocket! Because MARS FPGA has now announced Dual FPGA chips as well as a brand new case design, video game cartridge adapters and new controller adapters as well! So Let's see what's new gaming news wise!
You asked...now I answer. What is MARS FPGA? Is a MARS FPGA Dreamcast Core happening? Will you be playing Dead or Alive 2 on a MARS FPGA NAOMI Core? Is there going to be a MARS Capcom CPS III Core? a MARS IGS PGM Core? Should I buy a MARS FPGA board? Does MARS FPGA have JAMMA? (ok that's easy. They said it does lol)
The answer is...in the video lol. But we will discuss what has been announced for MARS FPGA, talk about what they have stated in regards to MiSTer FPGA core ports to MARS (as those are open source FPGA projects) and the timing...and just kind of look at a LOT of real hardware because it's always fun to show stuff off!
But there are a ton of Dreamcast hidden gems, NAOMI hidden gems, IGS PGM hidden gems...and more! So playing them in FPGA one day in the future could totally be fun!
Questions? Comments? Just leave them below and I will do my best to answer each and every one of them!
