The core for running DOS and Windows 95-98 on the MiSTER is called the AO486 core, and it works quite well, but it has the problem that its slow, and cannot even run Doom smoothly. That is about to be fixed with an update that adds CPU level 2 cache, and makes it possible switch between 15, 30, 55, 90 and 100mhz CPU speed.

This version seems to have gotten the audio problem in the last version fixed, so now you can run Doom f.ex. without having to start the game with the core set to 30mhz and then setting it to 100mhz once its running

In this video I am testing several games, especially games with VESA / SVGA support or requirement. The core I am testing now is called the Cache25 core, while the last one was called the Cache20 core.
