This is just getting funny at this point...FPGAZumSpass is just a coding robot. Not a real human. He dropped ANOTHER core TWO hours ago and here is the results of that work! A ton more working games and SRAM functionality to get some new games working as well! Plus PAL support from a few days ago! and now more RDP code that brought an entirely new batch of games to the core working for the first time! and some different visual modes were added to RDP today! including dithering! Oh and vanilla The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time now works on the N64 MiSTer FPGA core!
Note: This video is about TLB on Nintendo 64 or...Translation Lookaside Buffer...a virtual to physical memory address system in place on N64 hardware that some games use...and you keep asking about it! So here is why you cant currently play GoldenEye on MiSTer FPGA or Perfect Dark on MiSTer FPGA N64 core!
and now we have new games that run and Flash saving which allows you to save in some games that didnt before as well as actually play some games that would not work unless it found the flash save capabilities!
and then he added in more code TODAY to get controller pak support working meaning every single working N64 game now has game saves!
You can find the code on the MiSTer FPGA Discord under test builds. and you no longer need Unstable MiSTer main to run the core!
We have Z buffering, we have fog effects, we have N64 texture filtering, we have sound and a ton of very playable games on the current MiSTer FPGA Nintendo 64 core! Plus The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time Master Quest is now VERY playable...as is Super Smash Bros and Resident Evil 2! And Donkey Kong 64, and Star Wars, and F Zero and Kirby 64 and Cruisn Exotica...and the list goes ON AND ON AND ON. Some real N64 best games and N64 hidden gems here!

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 and it now has perspective correction built in! . Which means we can now "play" Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Wave Race 64, even The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask...and some other items! and most of the corrupted graphics have been solved by this point in time! Plus F-Zero and Pokemon Snap now too! and Cubivore! And Animal Crossing...and 007 (no not GoldeEye yet) plus Pokemon Stadium! And Harvest Moon 64, and Extreme G and Glover 64...plus some beta Ocarina of Time!
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!
