![]() All the retro fun and nostalgia in a space-saving gadget you can build yourself. Imagine having an ever-growing inventory of retro consoles and computers all in one compact little machine? Now imagine that machine worked exactly the same as those retro consoles and machines. An emulator typically enables the host system to run software or use peripheral devices designed for the guest system. In computing, an emulator is hardware or software that enables one computer system to behave like another computer system. This might be an oversimplification, but I think it captures the idea well enough. This allows you to run games, software, and use controllers as you would on that vintage hardware. Instead of running software to emulate the original machine, it instead has the MiSTer (pictured above) act just like the original hardware. ![]() For those who have run emulators, this might sound familiar, but the key difference is the use of the word hardware. For those not familiar with MiSTer, it is an open-source project that attempts to recreate all sorts of older computers, arcade machines, and game consoles using modern hardware. ![]() Over a year ago I started to pick up on the excitement around MiSTer FPGA.
