Unofficial builds of popular MiSTer cores built using Nearest Neighbor scaling for HDMI.
All core licenses and original cores can be viewed at the official project page: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki
The goal of these unofficial cores is to enable the Nearest Neigbor scaling method, which tends to produce a sharper image with pixel graphics than Polyphase or Bicubic which is used in the official cores.
- At lower HDMI resolutions, text may appear uneven/distorted.
- There may be shimmering, most noticeable at lower resolutions
- "Advanced" scaler options (Hq2x, CRT) may have visual artifacts
- There may be other unintended visual issues. If this is the case, use the official core for your setup.
I consider this a stop-gap solution to satisfy more demanding users as the scaling matures in the main project. These should be considered unstable test builds for enthusiasts, and in time I hope an equivilent or better solution for a clear HDMI scaler becomes available without special builds.
