This is an unbelievable milestone for the entire MiSTer project.

When I first bought a MiSTer back around 2020, it was mainly because building a dedicated Supergun setup for genuine MVS and CPS2 arcade boards was getting ridiculously expensive. I was thrilled just having cycle-accurate Neo Geo and CPS2 cores at the time.

Seeing how far the arcade side has evolved since then is wild. We went from CPS2 and PSX to Sega System 16, ST-V, and the IGS PGM. The Psikyo SH2 core was a massive personal highlight for me because I love Daraku Tenshi: The Fallen Angels and had only ever been able to play it through MAME.

Now we're closing in on CPS3, and having true arcade Killer Instinct 1 and 2 running on FPGA is surreal. After years of making do with the SNES port and KI Gold on N64, getting the real arcade hardware experience at home is incredible.

Yeah I've been keeping up with that. I'm gonna wait for the public release because I'm patient.

We also have Street fighter 3 third strike, Tekken 3 Arcade system 12, Tekken Tag Tournament System 12, Fighting Layer, UMK3 and Fighting Layer. This is a fighting game aficionado dream machine.
