I’m thinking about having Retro Remake host a PS1 homebrew game jam with cash prizes and free SuperStation one units.

Thoughts?

Last call - we are only short on N64, GBA, and MD/Genesis.
I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.
This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.

New SNAC cartridge in the shop.
We finally made the DE9 SNAC Cartridge.

DE-ONE is a single port DE9 style connector for Multisystem, Multisystem2 and MiSTer stack setups with a USER/SNAC port.

You can connect various Atari, Commodore, Sega joysticks, joypads and mice to various cores in MiSTer.

I'm immediately wondering what implications this will have for preserving play and the contemporary archaeology of video games

And the genAI models that will be potentially trained on these upscaled videos
Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

Some improvements for the video launching on MiSTer. Still can’t play videos that are too high res but a little less page tearing. More importantly it works a lot more like high a core seamlessly starts and stops! #Zaparoo

This will also be in the next #Zaparoo release. A new type of reader driver that can accept any mass storage device as a token. That means SD cards, USB sticks, hard drives etc. will basically work like NFC cards. This one is launching a random Genesis game each time you plug it in (RIP USB port)

It’s been a few months and I have a new update on SS1 disk reading. We ended up improving disk reading to be on par with loading from an SD in almost all CD-cores.

All CD cores except PS1 = indistinguishable from SD.

PS1 = edge cases where a game can be <1% slower.
Doing some testing of SS1 reading PS1 data directly from a disk without dumping the data first. It’s much better than I expected.

That being said, copying games to the SD or SSD is still the optimal strategy for performance. It’s a one-time process and better for random access.

Here's a snippet from a video showing how different #RetroTINK 4K BFI modes (both CE & Pro) can reduce motion blur. And how that compares to the lack of blur on a CRT!

I'm on my way to #NYCC2025 for the first time ever! I wanted to get this #MiSTerFPGA #wallpaper done in time before leaving and am pretty much finished with it. I may make some tweaks. This was a box scan from my personal collection. I made sure it's stupid high resolution!😉
