Paprium was launched on MiSTer FPGA - and neural networks helped with this

It seems that the list of devices capable of running the legendary and problematic Paprium has become even longer.Twitter/X user under the nickname Pezz82 published an experimental kernel for MiSTer FPGA, which allows you to run a version of the game for the Mega EverDrive Pro flash cartridge.

The author himself immediately warns: this is not a “correct” FPGA implementation, but rather a hack.Moreover, a significant part of the Verilog code was generated using Claude and Codex.According to the developer, his contribution consisted of endless testing on real MiSTer, searching for errors, analyzing graphics and sound artifacts, and transferring this information to neural networks for subsequent corrections.

I tested the project on my MiSTer FPGA.The game does run and is quite playable, but not without problems.In my case, there is no music, despite the correctly placed WAV files.At the same time, there are already demonstrations on YouTube where the musical accompaniment works. #game
