Bally Astrocade interface – Update BOM

Well, what a weird year it has been so far.  I’ve been learning to code in VHDL and Verilog on the MiSTer platform. The first task was one I have wanted to do since I bought an FPGA Replay was to take the existing Bally Arcadia console core, add in the necessary extra ram, pattern…

If you have been keeping up with the MiSTer forums, you will know that there are now at least two DE10-Nano clones being produced, with one, the QMTECH version being available now, and another one due soon. The one pictured is the QMTech version, and this one has the 128Mb SDRAM fitted direct to the…

Wizard of Wor has finally been tested! Almost a year after I did the original image for this game, it has been fitted to a cabinet and I’m pleased to say that after some minor problems the image has been updated and works as it should. Had a request for a change, which may also…

I used one of the Astrocade PCBs recently to make an adapter to allow me to put a MiSTer setup into my Crazy Climber cabinet. I populated the video, a single sound channel and the regulator, added an amplifier and then wired an edge connector and video pins to plug into the cabinet. End result…

One of the first things I did on the MiSTer once I had acquired a setup was to take the code for the Astrocade console, add in the additional hardware used by the arcade versions of the games to see if I could get them running. (See original post here) Following that I then decided…

I managed to complete another core for the MiSTer today, been a while as I needed to get the two PCB’s working enough to sample the sounds. But all of the games from Mame’s Universal Cosmic driver that use a Z80 are now on there. Cosmic Alien, Devil Zone, Magical Spot, No Mans Land and…
