Yes, I heard, but the FPGA Arcade guys have yet to publish any code to the public.
The RTG hardware is not too problematic, I can probably write something working in a day or two, as long as there’s enough memory bandwidth. The RTG software driver might be a problem, though.

Yes .. but I have a fear that Mister (and ones like it) are going to fracture the MiST base.. more so if improvements and changes can not be back-ported.

Once the SDRAM board design is stable / tested by a few then it should be possible to have somebody make a larger batch and sell it. Then availability should no longer be a problem.

Sorgelig wrote:Hardware of MiSTer is already finished long time ago and pretty stable. I do some PCB revisions only for convenience to fill some needs. But electrically all of them are the same.

By the way, thank you for all the work you have been doing for the community.
Cheers,

"So, If you have interesting idea/project, do not hesitate to contact me. I may be able to commercialize Your project worldwide."
