MiSTer

MiSTer (also known as MiSTer FPGA) is an open-source project that aims to recreate various classic computers, game consoles and arcade machines, using modern FPGA-based hardware.^[1]

The MiSTer project is centered around a general-purpose circuit board by Terasic called the DE10-Nano, which incorporates a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Contributors of the project developed various cores written in a hardware description language (HDL), designed to run on the DE10-Nano. Each core is designed to replicate a specific computer, console or arcade system board. However, unlike a software-based emulator MiSTer's cores replicate systems through hardware emulation.

MiSTer originated as a port of the MiST project.

MiSTer was named after the MiST project, who's name stands for "AMiga/ST".^[2] MiSTer's name originally stood for "MiST on Terasic board". However, MiSTer is currently only a simple name without anything underneath.^[3]

The project is licensed under version 3 of the

GNU General Public Licence.^[4]
