I recently had a conversation with Hans Baier, a developer who's created a framework that allows the MiSTer FPGA project to be ported to different hardware platforms.  Hans is approaching this in a way that will NOT fork or fracture MiSTer, but instead embrace it's current software.  This work has the potential to increase both the project's longevity past the DE-10, as well as open up some pretty unique opportunities.  Check it out for lots more info!
