I think I will have a release at the weekend. Weekdays are too busy and I should not have said it would be so soon.

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

Experimenting on a better CRT TATE mode and quick menu to get back to MagiK

Like this? 😁 might have this out tomorrow. No idea if or when video snaps would happen. It’s non trivial on a mister

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...

Do you have any ideas yourself? I have a phone app companion planned that could do that. I’m just not sure how to get back to MagiK or open a menu without a button or some other thing connecting to the mister. If it’s on WiFi or Ethernet then a phone/tablet/PC app could do that.

What would a simple way look like for you with an arcade cabinet? Are there spare buttons?

Nigel Breslaw @unintuitive.com · 12/08/2026

There are no screenshots in CRT mode. That UI is kind of basic at the moment. 🙁I will try and add them by the weekend though! Keep pestering me 😁 as not many people have given any feedback and it helps a ton!

I guess I should record a video of the new features. Will do that later.

Nigel Breslaw @unintuitive.com · 10/08/2026

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

To all new core developers: I’ve put together a short guide on how to get your core into MiSTer-devel and the updaters, why the requirements matter for preservation and maintainability, and where Update All fits in all of this. Public post here: www.patreon.com/theypsilon/p...

Hello everyone, This post is a different one. It's not about a new release, but about how a new core becomes part of MiSTer-devel, and where

The biggest cost working on a hobby project like miSTer MagiK is my time and AI coding assistance has transformed that time for the better.

Nigel Breslaw @unintuitive.com · 05/08/2026

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.

I may have totally failed to actually publish the new version of MiSTer MagiK 🙄... give me a few mins

MagiK update coming tomorrow…

071

Already does! Both NTSC and PAL

It tries to ignore systems with no games. But there were some issues in the logs that I will fix too.

100

The logs show that it did complete in the end. Did you notice any missing systems or games? If so can you name them?

100

Thank you! Screenshots for now are Arcade, Amiga, NeoGeo and Atari Lynx. More to come soon.

Thank you for sending those logs! Would never have worked it out without those. Please let me know what features you need to make it a more useful frontend 😁

000

Dual core 800Mhz! There is a lot of power there waiting to be abused 😈

Still experimenting with real time 60fps particles as part of the Magik frontend for MiSTer FPGA. Now with 3D effects.

162

New build is out and if it does not fix the issues it now logs the problems to mister-magik/diagnostics/ on the SD card

Thank you for the logs! I think it is fixed if you use update_all right now. Let me know how it goes 😀

Good new MiSTer MagiK testers. Build 2567 is out and fixes (hopefully) the issue where only arcade games would be found and the game scanner would just go on forever. If you are new and interested in helping test Magik instructions are here github.com/NigelBreslaw...

It’s 3:30am here so I will reply tomorrow or err later today 😁. It’s bound to be a bit buggy but I will fix things as soon as I can.
