MiSTer FPGA Forum

To explain in a concrete way we will not run the script via the OSD but by sshing into MISTer. # cd /media/fat/Scripts # ./NoSpinDown.sh The script will never return as it is an infinite loop and because it has been started in the foreground you will not get a command prompt. You have to start in in the background which is done using &: # ./NoS...

My problem is only partially solved: The setting in /etc/resolv.conf is not permanent. After a reboot it reverts to: # Generated by Connection Manager nameserver 127.0.0.1 connman is recreating the file. I do not know anything about connman; I tried looking on the internet but so far without any result. I could write a script to overwrite resolv.co...

No build, not even a look inside.

I recently had a problem very similar to yours:
Turned it off in the evening, turned it on the next day and only the power LED was on, no other LED on.
In the end I wiggled the DIP switches of the DE-10, making sure to reset them to their original position and MISTer came back to life

Let me know if anyone has found a way to get the player 2 controls to work as player 2 on MiSTer. For me, they act like a second set of Player 1 inputs. If you did not figure it out it seems that a setting in mister.ini is there for that specific case: ; Disable merging input devices. Use if only player 1 works. ; Leave no_merge_pid empty to apply...

Is there any possibility to mount MISTer in the enclosure? From the various pics and videos it is difficult to see how much space there is.

Do you have any problem with the security features of the hdd? What is the name of your script and where is it located? I don't know about security features, but if you are referring to the spin down feature it can make problems like with saving games ... Personally I did not experience any problem but I think it is better to have the HDD spinning...

I use a 1TB WD passport which is USB powered witch a USB powered hub. This drive spins down after 35 min and does not support commands to disable the spin down so I wrote a script to prevent it from spinning down by reading a block every 30 min. I used ext4 as a file system as it is native to Linux but exFAT seems to be used in general. Ext4 is cas...

Problem solved: Although I have dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 in the interface file the contents of /etc/resolv.conf was just the loopback address. echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >/etc/resolv.conf resolved (no pun intended) the problem. I just checked the man page for interface and dns-nameservers does not appear. On my first attempts to setup a fix...

Thanks for the help, I am ALMOST there. At the moment I just replaced the interface file with what I mentioned in my previous post, ditching the wlan stuff. I created the directory and file /etc/connman/main.conf. Now I can start MISTer and get the fixed IP. No extra IP like before. I can ftp and ssh. Only problem left: no internet. Thinking of a r...

Thanks for the info, I will try it later when I am back home. Shall I trash all the stuff related to wlan0 and wlan1 from the interfaces file? I do not use WiFi. Something like that: # interface file auto-generated by buildroot auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.80.38 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.16...

Maybe this helps? https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Configuring_the_interface_manually Thanks for the link. It did not really help but I followed some links which lead me to other links (almost ad infinitum). I tried quite a few things like totally scraping the /etc/network/interfaces file and replacing it with auto lo iface lo inet loo...

I am trying to setup my MISTer with a static address. For reasons too long to discuss I am not in a position to use the MAC address and setup the IP in the router. So far I used: ifconfig eth0 192.168.80.38 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 192.168.80.254 echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf It works .. until I reboot bec...

Update: I have been really busy at work and at home; I also was so pissed that I did not come close to the cadaver. Yesterday I decided to have a look: After 2 weeks laying down no stinky rotten smell. That was a good sign. Upon examination with magnifier no broken bone, arteries, ... Another good sign. When the DE-10 nano died I wanted to wiggle t...

He is right, this is hardware emulation.

Thanks for all your answers. My MISTer is not yet in a case but I am very careful with it. The only thing I do is to power it on/off, I did not take out the SD card in ages as I always use ftp or ssh. When this happened I had the MISTer powered off the previous evening and just powered it the next day. In between I did not get near it. I tried with...

Sorry for the late answer. I do not know the exact details but it seems like MISTer does not support 2 keyboards connected at the same time. If you have one keyboard connected and the Pimorini keybow (which looks like a keybaord) I suppose one of them will not be usable in MISTer. Are you using your keybow just by itself? You say that the Amstrad c...

It was working fine yesterday but when I powered it up today only the power LED and the fan came on. I replaced the SD card with another one, same thing. I removed everything and powered the DE-10 nano, same thing. I wiggled the DE-10 nano in case of bad contact, same thing. I checked my power supply which is OK. The only thing I can think of is th...

Thanks so much! The only place I’ve seen User used is dirtying the define joystick procedure to skip a button. While I love the idea of it being 100% self-contained, I’d always still need something to navigate the menu with, so I think I’ll just keep it with no buttons and use a keyboard if I ever need to. ..... you can always use your controller ...

Archie runs it at higher speed, worth trying it.

I suppose it will work with F9.

This problem has been here forever. The solution is simple: ssh into MISTer run the rtc script once. Now the rtc script will work from the OSD.

6.08 is the latest supported.

I think the problem is due to the fact that MISTer supports only one keyboard.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, by actual method I meant the old official method.
I previously used Etcher and Win Imager for other projects. As a Windows user I did not realized the inconvenience for other OSes.

It occurred to me that the problem may be more complicated than I thought: the booting process is done by the BIOS and MISTer would have to tell the BIOS about the boot order.

I try to have my MISTer up to date at all times. I just did it this morning to install yesterday's updates.
I first posted here in case I was doing something stupid as it seems strange that no one experienced this problem. Could anyone check before I report it on github?

it seems that the boot order is broken: if the floppy is mounted it always boots from the floppy regardless of what it says in the boot order.
I also cannot boot from a bootable CD (checked by booting the iso in a virtual machine).
