→Setup: Added MiSTer Downloader.
<!--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_MiSTer/wiki/How-to-start-with-MiSTer these] [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Setup-Guide two] pages to get started (and [https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_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.)

==Cores currently in development==
<!-- 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 (PSX/PS1) and the Sega Saturn, 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 expected to require a more powerful FPGA and memory configuration to work correctly, so it is considered unlikely that this, and more advanced consoles, will be possible on the platform.
