Analog I/O board RGB levels
I randomly stumbled upon this post about RGB levels. I don't have the equipment to test this on my own mister. Could anyone shed any [more] light on this? https://twitter.com/BartBrinkhuis/status/1414698589788459008 Today I've learned that the MiSTer IO Board outputs 1/4 less green on the VGA/RGB lines. Check for yourself. I measured my PVM on the ...

Re: MiSTer Update Only Update What You Need?
It does not look like filtering has been added yet. My guess is the filtering would be different.

Re: Resolution 1920x1200 support
Yeah, let's just say that these auto-generated theoretical modelines, come up with overly "enthusiastic" values for real world hardware :mrgreen: I believe after a linux update sometime back in summer (?), you can now [read/parse/get-EDID] from inside MiSTer's console, so it's easier to tailor modelines to each particular panel's capabil...

Re: MiSTer Downloader Tool
The thread in which I attempted earlier to make the case for package management was summarily closed by sorg, so that's where any effort on my side stopped. I actually had dpkg working. If the project maintainer doesn't like it, then that's his prerogative and I stopped my efforts. I'm now focusing on "consolizing" AO486 instead. I still...

Re: MiSTer Update Only Update What You Need?
Yes, it’s a core filter, not a game filter, so for Arcades, that’s going to be the case. I seem to remember that there’s a setting in update_all that doesn’t download the Alternatives? Not near my MiSTer at the moment, so I might be mis-remembering. Using the old update_all downloader mechanism (before the new downloader), this worked for me in up...

Re: mt32-pi HAT that doesn´t turn on!
Have you tried powering the pi separately? Turn the mt32-pi switch to "off" and plug in a separate psu to the pi.
If that doesn't work, will the pi power on without the mt32-pi hat, and using a separate psu to the pi?

Re: VHD works on MiSTer, but can't be mounted on my PC?
It looks like the vhd is 400mb, not 500mb as stated.
I tried creating a new 400mb vhd, then copying the footer from it and appending it to the 98se vhd. Windows didn't like it (much) either. It showed up as an uninitialized disk.

Re: MiSTer Downloader Tool
Further investigation is ongoing in order to fix the root cause of the problem once and for all. One of the current hypothesis would be that there is a race condition when there is a big amount of data being written to the SD before a reboot. Interesting that even with the sync calls it is an issue. When using iomega zip disks back in the day, run...

I miss the customizability of the "classic" updater. I hope more fine grained options, such as what is downloaded, are added before the main updater is changed to use this.

Do you have the ao486 OSD vsync setting set to 60hz or variable?

Re: Unable to sync any Bluetooth controllers on my MiSTer
Also I usually tell people to not use update_all to update the linux since continued writes after the linux image writes without a reboot can corrupt the linux image. If the linux image is updated, the update.sh script updates linux fully right at the end and reboots immediately after. This is critical. I have helped about a person or two a week w...

Re: Feature request: Children Friendly/Kiosk/Party-Mode Menu
If a "children friendly" experience is desired, there are, perhaps, some arcade titles (at least on the alternatives / homebrew side) that are getting included in a default configuration (at least the .mra files, even if not using update_all) that should perhaps be excluded, or at least hidden?

Re: MiSTer Multisystem - All-in-One System
My guess if we ever did get optical media support, is it might be handled through some sort of abstraction layer. Perhaps not too dissimilarly from how mt32 is handled, whether through the Linux subsystem (sort of like midilink), or an external device (e.g., raspberry pi). Cores then could, perhaps, only need to talk to that one interface, and the ...
