As far as I know the hardware was developed by cave and then licensed to other companies.ExCyber wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 6:29 pm This is great news.
One thing that's odd about this is that it's commonly just called Cave 68000 hardware, but the list of companies that share the MAME driver is sort of baffling. It runs the gamut from virtually unknown companies to much bigger names like Namco, Jaleco, and Atlus. Particularly odd is the fact that Cave-developed games were apparently produced by three different companies (Atlus, Jaleco, and Nihon System) on "this" hardware, but all with significantly different boards. I wonder if some other company (Seta? NMK?) is the source of the graphics chipset.
I doubt it. CAVE and shmup genre is very niche with very passionate and deep pocketed members like yourself, but you are still in the minority of the retro gaming sceneXtraSmiley wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 11:35 am I think with this announcement (and when it arrives) the MiSTer user base will probably go up 1,000%...
Deep pocketed! Ha! No pocketed because I don't waste money on "clothes" or "looking normal". ALL my money on RETRO GOODNESS!!!!suverman wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:15 pmI doubt it.

You are right but don't think that makes you the only naked guy in a bare room with only a MiSTer.XtraSmiley wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 2:21 pmNo pocketed because I don't waste money on "clothes" or "looking normal". ALL my money on RETRO GOODNESS!!!!
That being said, my post is a bit tongue in cheek too, I don't think the MiSTer user base is super large right now.

This announcement was what prompted me in to looking at the MiSTer, someone posted it on the r/shmups subreddit and when I saw most of the computers and consoles I had as a kid were implemented along with ones I could have only dreamed of owning I had to get oneFarquaad wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 12:49 pm I have my answer posted today

I hope so too dude. I just got the actual PCB and it's pretty great, just not worth the cost of the game. I hope it comes along soon and more people can check it out!
Not yet. This is a big milestone though.
It absolutely is and I can't wait to shove my MiSTer into my cab and give this core a shove! <3retrorepair wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 3:04 pmNot yet. This is a big milestone though.
