Linux 6.18 running on #z486_MiSTer. Interestingly, GRUB 2 uses the CR4 register, which isn’t available on the 486. So let's boot the old-school way with SYSLINUX.
#z486_MiSTer 20261006 is out🚀: Windows 95, much-requested scaler improvements, and many newly supported games, including Links 386 Pro, Strike Commander, TFX, Wing Commander Privateer, Armored Fist and more.
z486 now performs like a 486DX2-66.

Finally ready to launch the first version of our PAPRIUM Pocket Port on MiSTer. Has all the fixes & such from PAPRIUM Pocket & uses the same PCM audio blob.
This also has an auto load MGL. run that instead of the normal PAPRIUM core to auto load the game & audio. Then just hit reset in the menu screen after mini game.
We know @Pezz82Mister already has an amazing MiSTer port and there is no reason to switch honestly. This is really just a way for us to update our fixes faster as we roll out built in Audio.

Announcing Neon Gyre 88 for the Sega #MasterSystem. It's a tribute to Tempest and exclusively playable on the upcoming SMS PicoPak flashcart leveraging it's coprocessor enhancement.
Will be available for free to download with dev docs.
This is a WIP with placeholder music.
Zaparoo Update 2.0 and Zaparoo Frontend 2.0 are out!
A new rendering system makes the UI smoother. Try it from Update All's Frontend menu!

#PCAT-286 BETA 03 for #MiSTerFPGA is out! Windows 3.1 and OS/2 1.3 now boot on MiSTer. Major 286 protected-mode and performance improvements: 6,765 Dhrystones / 121.6K Whetstones. Next: cycle-accurate speed profiles for real 286 PCs 👇youtube.com/watch?v=e5WaRx8j…
Time to show you something I have been working on😅
This is Mercury, it turns #MiSTerFPGA into a tribute mini-console, and it's not just beautiful, it also comes packed with features

After capturing a lot of information off the X-Men PCM chip using a single picoROM device, now that is combined with a chameleon96 FPGA to gather even more detail. Expect a big update to Konami cores this week. #MiSTerFPGA
#PCAT-286 BETA 02 for #MiSTerFPGA is out! Dyna Blaster now runs in VGA+, with a 15 kHz / 60 Hz TV output option. This build also improves 101-key navigation, adds COM1 serial mouse support and fixes MR BIOS warm reboot.

PCAT-286 is almost ready for its first public beta.
Powered by my #SPK286 soft core, this new core is running the five DOS games in this preview.
The beta will be available TODAY before 23:00 CEST (mainland Spain). Stay tuned. #PCAT286 👇

Thank you everyone for the support on the preservation work on PAPRIUM.
We are a small team, one tester, two people running fits and coding. Last night while up late I think I found Fonzi's little synth secret in the code. (There are literal easter eggs in the coding).
We might be able to reverse engineer the stm32f4 without the dump. Game is now 80%-85% cycle accurate on the pocket. With correct music and sax man we will close that to near 99%. 0.2.3 to be released hopefully by end of day fixing some small issues our tester noticed.

Sorgelig is expected to release an update in the coming days to fix issues some users are experiencing with the latest OS release for #MiSTerFPGA.
If you’re affected and would prefer not to wait, you can roll back in the meantime by following these installation instructions 👇
PSA - DO NOT Update Your #MiSTerFPGA using Update All. There is currently an issue with the Linux update which is affecting many features/app/cores, which break and/or reduce functionality.
I'm sure it'll get sorted in a few days, but for not now don't run it.
MiSTer Linux Kernel was recently updated and needs more time to be refined. For now, add
update_Linux=false to downloader.ini
I’ll let you know when the coast is clear!
#z486_XL 20260906 is out 🚀
z486 + Voodoo 1-compatible 3D graphics on Xilinx KV260. To my knowledge, this is the first complete FPGA PC with 3dfx Voodoo graphics.
Ultrascale+ delivers 20%+ higher performance than DE10-Nano.

Took a little detour: FPGA z486 + Voodoo 1 running Tomb Raider!🎆 Only ~10 FPS for now, but it works. This is on a larger KV260 FPGA board - the DE10-Nano doesn't have enough room. Proof of concept achieved.
