iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Still crude and early. But a million miles on from a couple of months ago. No GPU. ARM CPU that was cutting edge in 2007. But it’s surprising what you can get running on a MisterFPGA.

Back in June vs today. It’s interesting that you can have a half baked insight into what could work, but then it takes weeks to get anywhere half decent.

Mister MagiK early June 2026. Showing very crude arcade frame layout.

Finishing up a huge round of feedback for the #Zaparoo Frontend. Massive optimisations throughout for browsing, some design tweaks and working on some configurable colour palettes. Planning for a release next week after some Core features. Also wanna do some fun things like background music manager

Rolling out a big CRT update for MiSTer MagiK. This is still miles from where I want the UI to be. But proves you can get full screen cross fading screenshots, overlaid with scrolling text and running at 60fps. github.com/NigelBreslaw...

Build 3923 of MiSTer MagiK is out: - Fix for screenshots not working. - TATE mode for people too lazy to tilt their heads. - Lots of performance tweaks. - SNES showing hints of what the next UI refresh will bring. - SNES screenshot pack too. - Install instructions here github.com/NigelBreslaw...

Another test of #Zaparoo Frontend with the MiSTer Magik backend. I think I’m happy with this now, everything I wanted works, just some specific animations to make the UI easier to understand and feel faster. This will be parked until after a new update of the old Qt backend, then we can migrate

Turns out there were quite some issues in the screensaver. It will be significantly smoother in the next update. I also slowed it down by 25% to make it feel a bit calmer.
