Arcade Projects

(Paraphrased) “Incompatible with the framework” is poppycock, like you can’t support alternate hardware via internal config file and some #ifdefs even in the most crude implementation. It’s resistance to outside ideas or willingness to help integrate them in many cases.

There's a thing called project scope. Sorg has his idea of what the project should be. He no doubt didn't expect the project to become as popular as it has.. and it will surely morph into something else beyond his intention in time. But for now, it is what it is and that's ok.

It’s kinda ok, except the acting like anyone trying to work outside the box is awful for doing so. ;) especially when he forked someone else’s work anyway. Is there an actual project scope and spec defined!? Seems you are exaggerating a wee bit.

I would think when he announced the project and fork he had something laid out but that's just an assumption and I don't actually know to what extent he has written down the project goals

I would say the existence of MiSTer has on the whole benefitted MiST with ports of SNES and other cores. And expanded FPGA gaming. The hardware will evolve, the work done now will be ported. There's little reason to be displeased with the current speed of progress IMHO

Mist was doomed the writing was on the wall. It's actually fortunate that mister came along to keep things moving.
