The original developer has not updated the core in several years, and because the source code was never fully shared, other developers have been unable to easily take over or complete the project.

For a long time, the core was considered "unfinished" or "subpar" because the developer had not shared the full source code publicly, making it difficult for the community to fix bugs or add features.

Fire up your MiSTer, run the update script, and load up The Scheme . You won’t believe your ears.

The core is not part of the main MiSTer distribution and is not listed as a stable release in the MiSTer FPGA Bible .

The verification process often takes place on online forums, social media groups, and dedicated retro computing communities. Here, individuals share their experiences, exchange tips, and provide feedback on the core's performance. This collective effort helps to drive the development of the PC98 Core, pushing it closer to perfection.
