MiSTer FPGA in 2022: A Primer Guide to Retro Gaming's Hardware Emulator

Unread post by Xbytez »

My Life in Gaming has now published the most in-depth overview of the MiSTer FPGA project at just over two and a half hours in length. So you might need to grab some snacks :)

This is a complete overview of MiSTer in 2022 perfect for helping new users in getting started, however I also think experienced MiSTer users might pick up a few tips!

Worth noting this video is half going through *all* the basics (building, installation, ini files, SNAC, filters, etc.) and also half showing off the major cores. The home console stuff is well covered, including demonstrating what some of the unique settings do for each core, but there's also a smattering of computer and handheld stuff. And though it's two hours, it's a full scripted and highly produced two hours jam packed with info and demonstrative game footage. Strongly recommended for anyone new or on the fence, but veterans can pick up some missing knowledge here and there, I certainly did, and it's just fun to see everything in action.

they mentioned that it is an overview, which by very definition also can never be complete.

It was well produced, very extensive and I learned 1 or 2 things.
