What are you all looking out for or forward to these days? (kbin.social)

It wasn't too long ago that it seemed like every couple of months a shiny new MiSTer core or Analogue product was dropping to a ton of community fanfare, but things have understandably slowed down a little bit recently (especially as platforms like the MiSTer start to butt up against hardware limitations).

So I thought I'd ask what, if anything, you all are looking forward to in the FPGAGaming scene these days?

For me personally, I'm really excited to see what happens with FPGAzumSpass' N64 core that's currently in development, especially since it was often considered to be outside of the realm of what's possible with the MiSTer's current DE10-Nano FPGA devboard platform.

Of course there's also srg320's MiSTer Saturn core in the works, but as I'm not that into Saturn because I never had one growing up, I'm a little less hyped up about it.

So yeah... what are you all looking forward to in this space?

Reality: N64 & Saturn: Only had PSX back then. Can’t wait to dig into those libraries.

Fiction: Pacland: used to be 10p in every arcade I visited so I played the feck out of it.

Mortal Kombat 1 + 2: MK1 may be possible. Heard MK2 may not be. Who knows…

Save states on C64 & SNES: not likely but C64 really need it. Mainly want it for Creatures 1 & Flimbos Quest & also to save time as a father of 2 kids.

Nintendo play choice 10: 30p for guaranteed 10 (or was it 20?)mins playtime. Was great value.
