FPGAZumSpass (also just known as Robert) just dropped a bomb on the MiSTer FPGA community letting everyone know he is attempting to get the Nintendo 64 working on MiSTer FPGA! Which would be a wild retro gaming achievement...so let's take a look at the announcement, how the N64 works from a hardware standpoint...and get cautiously excited. Retrogaming is filled with excitement this week!
and now an UPDATED alpha WIP Nintendo 64 core exists that can run certain demos and now SOME RETAIL GAMES! It's the early days but you know you want to see N64 in FPGA in action! and now its running multiple retail N64 games...just now the way you remember the Nintendo 64 running them!
This is also a setup guide for the WIP N64 MiSTer FPGA core for those who want to test!
And now it has a lot more sound with some of the RSP updates as well as graphics with the RDP updates. Super Mario 64 is playable...as a fever dream!

I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
On this episode of our MiSTer series we are going to be talking about the recent happenings in the MiSTer FPGA scene in regards to the potential of a Nintendo 64 core for MiSTer FPGA! Nobody saw it coming...and it was long considered an "impossible core" but perhaps Nintendo's first 3D console might be coming to MiSTer soon! Which would be amazing as there are a ton of great games for it and software emulation, while much improved, is still a bit hit or miss. Plus modding a N64 for HDMI out is expensive and VERY difficult!
N64 on MiSTer FPGA would be a huge moment for video game history and preservation too!
The N64 core RSP work seems to be getting buttoned up...so next comes the RDP or Reality Display Processor which is in progress. Which means we can now "play" Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Wave Race 64...and some other items! Graphics are still heavily corrupted...but its a fun look at the progress being made!
But after the PS1 core on MiSTer (developed by Robert as well) and the PSX 2X core…nobody should doubt his talents!
and when it comes out just play Bomberman Hero, the N64 hidden gem of choice around this channel!
