<!-- TODO: Add links/references to information about upcoming cores- PSX (laxer3a), Saturn (srg320), and Capcom CPS2 (Jotego). -->Current cores being developed include the Sony PlayStation (PSXnumerous arcade cores, as well as [https://www.patreon.com/jotego NeoGeo Pocket], [https://github.com/srg320/PS1) and Saturn_MiSTer Sega Saturn], and [https://www.patreon.com/FPGAzumSpass Nintendo64] (amongst many others. ) As far as the limit of what is possible on the platform currently, Saturn is at the edge of what is considered to be remotely feasible from the DE-10 Nano board that MiSTer uses. The Nintendo 64 is was expected to require a more powerful FPGA and memory configuration to work correctly, so it is considered unlikely that thisbut Robert Peip ([https://twitter.com/AzumFpg @AzumFpg on Twitter]) recently showed the first game running, and hopes to eventually release the full core. However, more advanced consoles, will likely not be possible on the platform.

==Setup==
<!--this is based on a quick skim through the wiki. there may be more that could be needed-->
Follow [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTerWiki_MiSTer/wiki/How-to-start-with-MiSTer these] [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTerWiki_MiSTer/wiki/Setup-Guide two] pages to get started (and [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTerWiki_MiSTer/wiki/SDRAM-Board this one] if you plan on using a core that requires SDRAM). '''Other updater scripts:'''Besides the default script, there are more powerful third-party updater scripts for automatically downloading the hardware cores and software files that you would want for a MiSTer device:* [https://github.com/atrac17/MiSTer_MAME_SCRIPTS MiSTer_MAME_SCRIPTS] (A MAME getter for downloading MAME & HBMAME files. This can be done after running the main MiSTer update script.)* [https://github.com/theypsilon/Update_All_MiSTer Update_All_MiSTer] (Great , comprehensive updater script with customisation.)* [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Downloader_MiSTer MiSTer Downloader] (Similar to the Update All MiSTer script from the same creator, [https://www.patreon.com/theypsilon theypsilon], but with fixes & improvements.)
