MiSTer FPGA Forum

What command do you use? Is there only one partition on a MiSTer SD card?

Has anyone used rsync to copy one MiSTer SD card to another?

In gamesmenu I see Genesis (which I think is labeled "old") and Mega Drive. When I enable MD in gamesmenu and generate the menu everything works fine, but if I exit the script and then start it again the MD option has been disabled. All of the other cores that I've enabled stay enabled.

Everything works great with .neo files.

Are game titles in the MiSTer menus always based on filenames? The .neo files I have use abbreviated filenames which are being used for the game titles.

Everything working great!

Ok it looks like the BIOS files must be pulled in by update_all. Why would the script pull in PSX BIOS files but not Saturn BIOS files?

Interesting. Is it problematic for gameplay?

Do I need to find BIOS files to play Playstation ROMs? If so is there a region-free BIOS so I can use the gamesmenu script?

No one else has run into this?

Found some BIOSes and got it working with some US ROMs. I will see if Japanese ROMs work and then I'll see if I can load both from gamesmenu.

That looks like a great one for CHD files. I don't see any BIOS files there though. I tried searching but nothing relevant came up. Where do you find those?

Got it. In that case is Saturn compatible with the gamesmenu script? I don't think gamesmenu would know how to match rom and bios.

BTW is there a favorite source for Saturn stuff on Archive? I'm having trouble finding something that doesn't nearly always end in a failed download.

My Neo Geo roms aren't zipped but each game is a folder with several files in each folder like you described. Is gamesmenu incompatible with that layout? I should find individual .neo files instead?

I've definitely run those scripts several times as I've tried to get this working. I remember there is a Generate Menu option in the gamesmenu dialog and I've also run that several times. Does Neo Geo work for you with gamesmenu?

Is there a separate BIOS file for each game? Where do they go?

I'm trying to play Saturn games for the first time. I dropped a few CHD files on the Saturn folder but trying to load them I get an error something like CD BIOS missing.

Not sure what you mean. How do I rerun the organizer?

The Favorites and Gameslist scripts work great here except with Neo Geo. They don't seem to pick up those games and instead act like the folder is empty. Any way to fix that?

This worked great but took 8 hours for 512GB:

dd if=/dev/rdisk4 of=/dev/rdisk5 status=progress bs=16M

Would it work to use dd to copy one card to a second card for a second MiSTer? If so does anyone know the right dd command for that?

You're right. If I go to the Core menu I can get back to Favorites by going up a few levels.

Instructions for installation or instructions for use?

Do you think the old case can be retrofitted? Mine is happy to swallow microSD cards.

What is the best way to get back to the Favorites menu from within a game? I've been selecting Reboot from the menu but there must be a better way.

Several solutions there including the above which I'll assume would be overwritten at the next update. I'll see if I can get the router to assign static DNS.

Is using the following in dhcpcd.conf the best way to set a static DNS address:

domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8

Will it be overwritten the next time I update?

Games Menu + Favorites FTW! So cool!

Ok I'm hearing about the Retro Castle case which should be available soon.

I'm using the misteraddons enclosure but access to the SD card is difficult. Is there a better case?
