2026 Retrocomputing Challenge Builds Custom RISC-V Processor

Original: 2026 Retrocomputing Challenge: Custom RISC-V Processor For Retro System https:// hackaday.com/2026/10/28/2026-r etrocomp

A new retrocomputing challenge for 2026 tasks participants with designing a custom RISC-V processor for a retro system, built on a Terasic DE0-Nano FPGA board. The project touches on raycasting, video timing, and running Doom-style software, blending classic computing with modern open hardware. Enthusiasts in the retrocomputing and FPGA communities are sharing the challenge and discussing the design approach.

Why now: The retrocomputing and FPGA communities are drawn to the unusual idea of using a modern open RISC-V core to power vintage-style hardware.
