Re: Getting ready to build my first MISTer - A few Qs

The main advantage to connecting to some 4k tv's is dependent on the compatibility of that TV with non-standard resolutions. The MiSTer can output a maximum of 2560x1440 resoultion with pixel repetition mode (which is actually doing 1280x1440 in a stretched way skinnier than normal, but it's telling your screen to double the pixels horizontally to ...

Re: MiSTer case upgrade

The newer version of the MiSTerAddons case should at least prevent the microSD card from falling in which is good. I use precision tweezers to get the microsd card out of mine, and yeah I just use ssh and SMB to administer the files on the card if needed.

Re: How to force use of a Wi-Fi BSSID

How did you get the MAC for the specific AP? Did you use "iwlist wlan0 scanning" on the MiSTer? don't forget to use the key_mgmt in the network brackets as well network={ bssid=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF psk="*********" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } The key management method has to be declared explicitly I think so that linux will mix it with the p...

Re: Is this frequency showing correct on crt?

That's correct. Totally normal. In this menu the first is the native resolution and the second is the scaled resolution. The Menu core (what you see upon boot) is a bit special and different, but 59.8hz is normal for analog video. Cores of different systems will have different native refresh rates that vary widely so you will see this number change...

Re: Groovy_MiSTer Core

It would be pointless using a Pi to do this. A Pi can already do what this core is doing, natively, without having to go through a network. You can even use original resolutions, and refresh rates, at 15hz, connected to a CRT. So can a PC or miniPC. I think the idea is that the MiSTer solution is lower latency than a local video card with all its ...

Is there something Mednafen gives us that the MiSTer cores don't? Reg...

Re: Control MiSTer Menu with SNAC?

BlisSter won't allow lightguns to work afaik, whereas SNAC will, so suggesting it as a replacement of SNAC is not always going to be appropriate. Also, BlisSter does not have any meaningful advantage over many modern usb controller adapters such as the following: https://www.tindie.com/products/timville/triple-controller-misteranalogue-pocket-adapt...

Re: Arcade button setup as part of main menu

In general whenever I start a new arcade core I just map my buttons there in that core once and then I don't have to think about it. It's pretty quick when you get used to it. Part of the issue is that each core is made by different devs so the button mapping won't be 100% consistent between them, as the button indexes and how it's mapped sometimes...

It gets a measurable but completely imperceptible marginal accuracy boost to sound timing.

Well there's a few things going on there... Hot to the touch is a function of the thermal conductivity of the material and how fast it can transfer heat to your fingers. Aluminum is a very good thermal conductor. So a minor change in temperature may be more apparent. There has been more added to the framework and more added to the Main MiSTer binar...

What needs to be fixed about it? The core meets timing requirements when I compile trbocode's latest version.

The current build is like clocking the board to 24MHz which is a bit excessive given 12MHz is the default. The crashes you ...

If you are using the latest unstable release of the Saturn core, did you make sure to also use the latest unstable build of the Main mister binary?

There were changes to both today to make CHD loading also work. You have to have both updated if you are using the bleeding edge unstable release of the Saturn core.

I'm a big fan of the Dualsense as an all-rounder.

The only time I think I need anything else is just for N64 for which I use the RetroFighters Brawler64.

Yeah that is not expected. dvi_mode being enabled only makes it so audio is not transmitted over HDMI, that's it. It really shouldn't impact hdmi video when turned off at all.
