Many people have said they wished MiSTer was more like Analogue, and the developers have heard you loud and clear. Going forward, MiSTer cores will be released at random dates, in extremely limited quantities, 12-16 months after payment, and mostly to scalpers. Thank you.

The Analogue Pocket Game Gear adapter has no bevel and a sharp edge on the cartridge slot, which has already damaged the labels on 2 of my cartridges from a single insertion. I highly recommend beveling the edge yourself before use.

As a kid, I remember really disliking the look of Super Mario All-Stars the first time I saw it on a friend's SNES and I think I know why. It has way too much visual noise, especially with the backgrounds. The sky gradient also didn't match the style well.
