Wishlist of Cores You Would Like to See in the Future

[ElMariachi003]

Just a humble Arcade core wishlist:

Haley's Comet (Taito)
Any Cave CV1000
Missile Command (Atari)
Stunt Cycle (Atari)
Galaga '88 (Namco)
Krull (Gottlieb)

[Malor]

Those Xerox machines were using custom-built processors that, in their early incarnations, apparently didn't even use transistors. Finding documentation on those, that an FPGA developer can read, could be really difficult.

[Hat]

DECO Cassette System would be amazing. These things are hard to come by and had quite a few games.

In case you missed it, I released Missile Command a couple of days ago

I've heard the discussion of the challenges with Laserdisc games being analog, where 'rips' are not possible like CD/DVD .ISO files. Thus, the Pioneer Laseractive, RDI Halcyon, and Arcade games like Dragon's Lair would be a challenge, but never say never [we have the Konix prototype now].

On that line of thought are CED-disc based games. Until then, if others would like to preserve the footage, you may want to check out this super rare upgrade to a certain NFL based game:

Bally Midway NFL Football Cowboys vs. Redskins (Blue Caddy) FULL Arcade CED Videodisc (AUDIO 'A')

fingers crossed for 3DO

[pgimeno]

In case you missed it, I released Missile Command a couple of days ago

Huge thanks for implementing one of those "how is it possible that there's still no core for this one" arcade games.

I still keep my fingers crossed for another of these, the Taito L System.

[AmintaMister]

PC 286: many important games like The secret of Monkey Island were made for THIS processor in mind.

[AmintaMister]

And Bank Panic, one of the greatest arcade of the Eighties, incredibly ignored so far...

[seastalker]

Looks like one of my 'wish' cores is on the horizon now: The NewZealand Story

[ElMariachi003]

Just a humble Arcade core wishlist:

Haley's Comet (Taito)
Any Cave CV1000
Missile Command (Atari)
Stunt Cycle (Atari)
Galaga '88 (Namco)
Krull (Gottlieb)

That is awesome! Thank you! Now, if only it were still possible to get one of those large, old school Atari track balls... haha!

[Digitron]

Viper Phase 1 (Arcade)
Raiden DX (Arcade, not PSX)

[LamerDeluxe]

And Bank Panic, one of the greatest arcade of the Eighties, incredibly ignored so far...

Your wish came true in record time

[breiztiger]

Amstrad plus and gx4000 core

[AmintaMister]

And Bank Panic, one of the greatest arcade of the Eighties, incredibly ignored so far...

Your wish came true in record time

Yeah, thanks to Pierco, I've asked it!

[ntt]

My wishlist is getting close to being fulfilled
Most of my preferred arcade cores have been released or are close to being released, plenty of consoles and computers to play with, MiSTer is an embarrassment of riches for me these days.
Just hoping for Elevator Action and its follow-up Elevator Action Returns to appear as arcade cores, let's cross fingers

[LamerDeluxe]

Yeah, thanks to Pierco, I've asked it!

Awesome, good job from both of you!

Viper Phase 1 (Arcade)
Raiden DX (Arcade, not PSX)

VP1 and the Raiden Fighters games would certainly be nice to have someday, even though I have a Seibu SP1.

Never played the original arcade Raiden DX much, how does it differ from the PS1 version?

[AfterBurnett]

Here's my wishlist in order of preference. I'm leaving Saturn off, as it's obviously on the way.

Console:
1. 3DO
2. Jaguar
3. FM Towns Marty
4. Amiga CD32
5. Neo Geo CD

Arcade:
Sega Model 1 (possible!?!)

Very happy with computer cores - can't think of any that I want as pretty much everything is covered!

[Fallon]

X68000 (100% functional)

It still seems like the holy grail will remain tantalisingly out of reach.

Jaguar core for Tempest 2000 alone, another holy grail!

[civy99]

A few of early games
Astro Blaster (fighter pilots needed in sector wars, play astro blaster)
Hunchback
Crystal Castles
Marble Madness

[mineral55]

How about a TI-83 core? A lot of people grew up with those calculators and there were a lot of fun games & apps written for it.
I see that there is a TI-99 computer core already written so perhaps a lot of the work is already done?

[McNutts]

I'm a huge fan of beatem ups so here is my list of games I want on the MiSTer.

Guardians: Denjin Makai 2
Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder
Battletoads
Spiderman & Venom Maximum Carnage alt text
Hook
Metamorphic Force
Undercover Cops
Blade Master
Growl
Karate Blazers
Silent Dragon
Vendetta
X-men
Night Slashers
Oriental Legend
Shadow Force
Sengoku 1-3
Warriors of Fate


If there is a dev working on these cores please let me know so I can send some coffee money their way.

I literally just got done playing Streets of Rage 1 on the Genesis core and then Punisher for the arcade on my MiSTer back to back. I will probably play Final Fight on one of the many options (Sega CD, X68000, SNES, ect...) I have available to me because of MiSTer. That is if I don't get sucked into trying to finally beat Castlevania on the X68000.

Nice thread , my wishlist so far:

Console:
* Jaguar incl. CD
* 3DO
* Virtual Boy

Arcade:
* Konami Haunted Castle
* Sega Model 1

Computer:
* Atari Falcon
* Early IBM RS/6000 (POWER1+2 for AIX)
* Early Silicon Graphics (MIPS 3k/4k for Irix)

Let's pray to the FPGA gods for this to happen <3 <3 ...

[Captain Zap]

Awesome thread.

Well if I could create some stuff, it would be

Chopper I (SNK 1988)
Gang Busters (Konami 1988)
Twin Cobra (Taito 1987)
Iron Horse (Konami 1986)
Flying Shark (Taito 1987)
Fighting Hawk (Taito 1988)


for sure

[jca]

Iron Horse has been here since 2021.

[Nickie]

NAMCO system22
SEGA Model2

i wonder if those are possible given we can get some 3D systems already, but those could be just a lil bit too advanced

[kathleen]

Here is a list of all computers which were released since 1965 till 1995
Maybe this will give some ideas to someone

A 486/DOSBOX Hybrid Core

Offloading things to the FPGA

[GreyAreaUK]

Not sure if it's possible (68LC040 processor) but I'd love a more modern Mac, such as the LC475. My first Mac after I switched from Acorn Archimedes machines.
