The "Impossible" Dreamcast Core Comes To MiSTer, But It's Very Early Days
Time Extension • • technology
Key Points:
- Developers skmp and bdriffield have created DreamSTer, a new experimental core enabling the MiSTer DE10 Nano to run Dreamcast games, disproving previous assumptions about its limitations.
- DreamSTer integrates polly2-rtl, minicast, and a Python TUI within the MiSTer environment but operates unconventionally by killing the MiSTer process, taking over the FPGA, launching minicast, and then restarting MiSTer.
- Although still experimental and not following standard MiSTer core conventions, DreamSTer has reached an impressive stage of development, with available videos and instructions demonstrating its functionality.
- The developers are seeking community support to improve DreamSTer's compatibility and resolve existing issues.
