Noted, and similarly not all WiFi adapters have a Linux kernel module :). These are both solved by a wiki entry with a supported adapter list.

But then you end up with a list of supported but only half adapters, which can cause a lot of frustration IMHO. But it shouldn't be hard to add the hosted ap mode by yourself anyways

Well I mean adding hostapd proper gets back to that buildroot/GPL issue, alas I digress.pic.twitter.com/jzskgnKvGB

I imagine it is more of a case that no one wants to work and be the maintainer of a feature that is not the core.

People wanna put in work, but there’s the elitist dev crew.

Wow, I really hope for a FPGA project that is truly open source. Honesty is important for preservation. And sadly the mister project is not honest

well, the MiSTer cores are open sourced... from a pure game preservation standpoint, this is still very valuable. that knowledge isn’t going to ever disappear into the ether. the cores could always be adapted into a different framework that runs on FPGA if one were to be created.

Yes, I am aware of that, that's why I said the "mister project" and not "the cores of the mister project" Besides, I'm just not comfortable using it, knowing that one day the benevolent sorgelig may close the project and someone would have to start it all over again.

I’d be willing to bet if I looked, at least one core isn’t properly licensed :) I’m not feeling that petty today though. So I won’t look haha.

That wouldn't surprise me, to be honest. And that is precisely why I cannot consider the mister project a preservation project. Rather, it is more like a business of its developers

My point is if you were to ask Jotego or Furrtek whose herculean efforts at decaping and reverse engineering proprietary arcade chips whether this is an exercise in preservation, I think the answer would be an unequivocal “yes”. That work will long outlive the MiSTer ecosystem.
