Still crude and early. But a million miles on from a couple of months ago. No GPU. ARM CPU that was cutting edge in 2007. But it’s surprising what you can get running on a MisterFPGA.

Back in June vs today. It’s interesting that you can have a half baked insight into what could work, but then it takes weeks to get anywhere half decent.

Still pushing the limits of what a MiSTer front end can achieve. #magik

Finishing up a huge round of feedback for the #Zaparoo Frontend. Massive optimisations throughout for browsing, some design tweaks and working on some configurable colour palettes. Planning for a release next week after some Core features. Also wanna do some fun things like background music manager

Experimenting on a better CRT TATE mode and quick menu to get back to MagiK

Rolling out a big CRT update for MiSTer MagiK. This is still miles from where I want the UI to be. But proves you can get full screen cross fading screenshots, overlaid with scrolling text and running at 60fps. github.com/NigelBreslaw...

Build 3923 of MiSTer MagiK is out:
- Fix for screenshots not working.
- TATE mode for people too lazy to tilt their heads.
- Lots of performance tweaks.
- SNES showing hints of what the next UI refresh will bring.
- SNES screenshot pack too.
- Install instructions here github.com/NigelBreslaw...

Another test of #Zaparoo Frontend with the MiSTer Magik backend. I think I’m happy with this now, everything I wanted works, just some specific animations to make the UI easier to understand and feel faster. This will be parked until after a new update of the old Qt backend, then we can migrate

To all new core developers: I’ve put together a short guide on how to get your core into MiSTer-devel and the updaters, why the requirements matter for preservation and maintainability, and where Update All fits in all of this.

The biggest cost working on a hobby project like miSTer MagiK is my time and AI coding assistance has transformed that time for the better.

Playing around with a demo of #Zaparoo Frontend using @unintuitive.com’s insane MiSTer Magik backend. A few tricks involved but here’s 1080p with background music running at the same time. Absolutely nuts

Turns out there were quite some issues in the screensaver. It will be significantly smoother in the next update. I also slowed it down by 25% to make it feel a bit calmer.
