Start by taking your MiSTer. Look at it, pick it up, caress it, tell it not to worry it’ll be OK. Then put it down and leave it alone because there’s a fair bit to do before you actually get to use it again. In this guide you will be creating an A1200 based Workbench … Read more
The Amiga core was the initial reason for my interest in the MiSTer as a project. I have used Amigas since the A500, and still have my original A1200, so safe to say it is one of my most beloved systems. Having never got around to playing with the original MiniMig, considering solutions such as … Read more
This is a quick guide on how to simulate the Amstrad CPC on the MiSTer platform. The Amstrad CPC core on the MiSTer is just a joy to use. It’s simple, the timing is spot on, as you’d expect (remember, this is platform simulation, not emulation!), and as with other platforms, the audio benefits greatly … Read more
An Introduction To The MiSTer Mister 1.1: Intro and Hardware Mister 1.2: Building The Thing MiSTer 1.3: Configuring The Thing Platforms On The MiSTer MiSTer 2.1: Amstrad CPC
Your MiSTer is built and you want to get cracking with the games, but you need to get some config done first. It’s reasonably straightforward, but there are a couple of details that are good to know, so this is a step by step of the initial config. There are two approaches, both outlined on … Read more

Note that it simulates, not emulates these platforms, in that it uses an fpga chip to mimic exactly the underlying logic of these platforms and not a software layer to imitate the behaviour of the system. For example, when emulating … Read more
