I recently had a conversation with Hans Baier, a developer who's created a framework that allows the MiSTer FPGA project to be ported to different hardware platforms.  Hans is approaching this in a way that will NOT fork or fracture MiSTer, but instead embrace it's current software.  This work has the potential to increase both the project's longevity past the DE-10, as well as open up some pretty unique opportunities.  Check it out for lots more info!

I recently sat down with Arturo Sanchez to discuss his latest project:  An “Optimized System” package, designed to significantly lower the latency of Windows operating systems.  This was obviously designed with the Fighting Game Community in mind, however this will lower the latency of any software, including software emulators.  While it’s still in the “alpha” state, it’s extremely promising and this “*OS Package” could be a game-changer for all eras of PC video games!
