About this app

Your MiSTer FPGA, in your pocket.

MiSTer Connect is a native remote control, retro game launcher and virtual gamepad for the MiSTer FPGA platform. Connect over your home Wi-Fi and take command of your retro console from the couch: browse your game library, launch arcade classics, navigate the menu - no keyboard required. It works with the open-source Remote service from the mrext project, the same one behind the Remote web app - nothing extra to install on your MiSTer.

THE REMOTE
• Full d-pad with real press-and-hold, like a proper controller
• OSD, back and escape keys - reach the save-state menu instantly
• Volume and media keys, full keyboard and number pad
• L and R to jump letters in the MiSTer menu, and a trackpad mode for Amiga, AO486 and Macintosh cores
• Save and load states with a hold, safe from stray taps
• Instant screenshots of whatever is on screen

YOUR COLLECTION
• Search every indexed game and launch it in seconds
• Scroll your whole library: lists load as you go, with a letter strip to jump ahead
• Star your favorite games and relaunch them in one tap
• Browse by system or by folder, the way your SD card is organised, sorted and filterable
• Launch any game with the core you choose, RetroAchievements builds included
• Create menu shortcuts for your favorites
• Manage wallpapers, background music and scripts
• Edit MiSTer.ini settings right from your phone

RETRO SOUL
• CRT phosphor look: scanlines, glow and pixel fonts
• Per-system accent colors and haptics everywhere
• Optional 8-bit sound effects

CONNECT PRO (one-time purchase)
Everything the web app can do stays free, forever. A single tip unlocks the native extras:
• Box art from the MiSTer Artwork Pack, as 2D boxes, 3D boxes or box with screenshot, kept offline once seen
• All accent themes
• Multiple saved MiSTers
