MiSTer FPGA Forum

Bad dudes vs dragon ninja arcade.

My absolute dream is to be able to play Taito's Night Striker and Space Gun on my MiSTer. They're both Taito Z System arcade games from 1989 or so, and I love them. There are only 8 games for the Z System:

Aqua Jack
Battle Shark
Chase H.Q.
Continental Circus
Double Axle
Night Striker
Space Gun (video game)
Special Criminal Investigation

I don't know if this could be done on MiSTer or if there's enough interest, but it's my dream.

Thomson computers (TO8D / TO9...)
Philips VG5000 (my first computer !)
Commodore 128
FM Towns
Atari Falcon

Konami Beat em ups(TMNT, X-Men, Simpsons)
Co-Jag(Area-51, Maximum Force)
Jaguar/CD
Mortal Kombat 1-3
Intelivision

OLDER:
Battlezone
Missile Command
Tempest
Vanguard
Tutenkham
Jungle King
Pole Position

NEWER:
Marble Madness
Outrun
Road Blasters
Smash TV
Mortal Kombat
NBA Jam

Warlords on arcade

I am looking for certain specific sound chip cores:

Yamaha YM2414 OPZ
Yamaha YM2164 OPP
Yamaha YMZ280B PCMD8
Seta X1-010
Atari AMY
Ensoniq OTTO
Phillips SAA 1099

There's a very decent Intellivision core already, just not official yet.

Good to know but I don't really count much until it is official. I know there is a jaguar core out there also meaning Jaguar and possibly CoJag may be feasible but it has yet to be official.

Aye, I'd like it in official also for ease, but things like Jotego's CPS cores aren't official but are complete (CPS2 in beta obvs). Just not in the main branch. I guess some devs aren't interested in going he official route. Last time I tried the Jag core it was okay too, but don't know enough about the original, whereas I'm a big Intellivision fan so can see what a fine effort it is. Whether it ever gets added to official though....

Just to add Indiana Jones to this list as well or in fairness another vote for it.

Spent way too many 25c on that when I was a child on holiday in the US - even managed to get to the bonus after third repeat of all levels that I was never able to do in Mame.

There are some Arcade boards I would love to play on the MiSTer:

- Tetris The Grandmaster 2 Plus
- Wonder Boy in Monster Land
- Elevator Action Returns
- Rolling Thunder
- Fantasy Zone 2 DX
- Track and Field
- Yie Ar Kung Fu

Raiden would be nice too. Although +1 for Yie Ar King Fu

Track n field
Metrocross
Rolling Thunder
NARC
Space Harrier
Outrun
Golden Axe
Sunset Riders
RoboCop

Guwange
Batsugun
Tetris the grand master

S.T.U.N. Runner arcade looks cool. i havn't tried it yet.

I think obscure consoles that have shaky/bad/no software emulators would be a great focus for MiSTer and a great differentiator from software emulators once the PS1, Saturn, and WonderSwan cores are completed.

These cores would be great because not many people have played these consoles too:
-3DO (decent software emulation)
-CD-i (very poor software emulation)
-Jaguar CD (no software emulation)
-32X (decent software emulation)
-PC-FX (good software emulation)
-Tiger R-Zone (no software emulation)
-Tiger Game.com (decent software emulation)

It'd be really cool to be able to differentiate MiSTer from software emulators by having a perfect CD-i replication in FPGA for example. I know it's a bad console, but the Zelda and Mario games alone are reason enough to preserve the console and the console does have a few hidden gems.

Pocket PC, the lack of a touch screen might be a problem, but I don't think so, a mouse would likely work just fine for this, and it might also be fun to play with Windows CE on the MiSTer FPGA.

Something that might act like an old early 2000s cell phone and play the Java Games they had back then, pre-android, and pre-touchscreen stuff.

A more modern Mac with colour screen running OS 8, I would love something that ran OS 9 but that might be to ambitious.

This is a super low priority request.

Texas Instruments TI-83/TI-84 graphing calculator

The TI-83's were provided to students during my middle school and high school years in the mid to late 90's. They were programmable, so there were a small selection of games to play.

Here's a website describing the games.
https://www.calculatorti.com/ti-games/t ... i-84-plus/

So far, the most up to date emulator for this calculator is the Wabbitemu ( https://github.com/sputt/wabbitemu ).

I wish I could play with a Neo Geo Pocket (color) core and a 32X one.

Astro Blaster
Tempest
Lock 'n' Chase
Naughty Boy
Snow Bros

I would love to see an Amstrad GX4000 core. I suspect not a largely requested core but my understanding is it was based on the CPC+ architecture so perhaps isn't much tweaking needed over the existing CPC core. (apologies if I am wildly wrong on that assumption)

Primal Rage, as it does not even emulate correctly in Mame and the home versions are not perfect

Valtric (Jaleco, 1986) - first arcade PCB I successfully fixed after somebody gave it to me. Great little shooter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valtric

On arcade :
R-type
Outrun
Pang 1
Snow Bros

On computers / consoles
CD32
C64 DTV
Amstrad GX4000

On Arm side (like ScummVM):
Daphne (for laserdisk games AKA Dragon's Lair)

Jaguar
PC-FX
3DO
PS1
Saturn

for arcade I'd love IGS PGM
Taito F2/F3

I would love to see Mr. Do! Run Run.

That's obviously very personal, depending on one's childhood etc. but I would love if any of those was implemented :

- FPGA implementation of the Gravis Ultrasound (for the PC demoscene) and of the Roland MT-32 for the ao486 core

- Thomson MO5 / TO7 ("plan informatique pour tous", those machines were in all schools in France in the mid 80s, so there were some interesting stuff written for them...)

- Atari Jaguar : a few nice original games, a machine I was fantasizing about as a kid

- Commodore CD 32 : some original games / versions with nice CDDA tracks

- 68040 & 68060 implementation esp. for the Amiga core

- Arcade : R-Type & X-Multiply (same hardware I think ?)
- Arcade : Metal Black

- Some hardware Flippers ?

Well...

Enjoy

I would really love to see a Commodore 128 core that would integrate the actual C64 core.
