I am new to Mister and have been really enjoying this great collection of DOS games. Thanks for all the efforts for those involved in developing this! Just an FYI it seems that the MT-32 version of Monkey Island is not working with the MT-32 pi. Sound works fine but it is not using the MT-32 pi.

Fixed

3 open issue if people have any ideas on fixes.

Issues relating to the main collection-

Both versions of Civilization run like molasses.
The torrent is distributing borked files that fail CRC checks on export.

How were you able to fix these?

Great stuff!
Two things I noticed: Simon the Sorcerer has an ISO and a chd, not sure if that's correct?
Joe & Mac only has MT-32 version

Ok. Extra double super top secret fixed this time.

Thanks for fixing Alone in the Dark, emubastard! One other question, in the script I have an option to delete all files from the media folder that are not in the mgl. I noticed this clears out 7th-guest-2.chd... Is this file needed to play the game and if so, how would you be using it? At some point in 7th guest, you will be prompted to insert the...

They may be candidates for removal.

We have no control over the torrent as that is generated by the archive.org

Looks like the current mgls don't have corresponding files on archive:

Joe & Mac - Caveman Ninja.mgl
Leisure Suit Larry 2.mgl
Lost Vikings.mgl
Simon the Sorcerer.mgl
Ugh!.mgl
Ultima VII.mgl
Worms.mgl

Fixed. Let me know if I missed anything else.

MT-32 configurations incoming. Enjoy.

Has anyone had any luck getting a PS5 controller to work with games like HEretic, Doom or Jazz Jackrabbit? Unrelated to your question, but has Heretic been running well on your Mister? Mine has plenty of visual stuttering. I've only been able to make a minor improvement by going to the in-game options and removing all text from item pickups. It do...

Has anyone had an issue trying to run 7th Guest ?

It starts to run but always stops with a critical error has occurred

Fixed in latest archive.

I was just playing it without issue. So I'm not sure what could be going on. How recently did you acquire it?

-=Emubastard=-

How do game saves work? Are they in each individual VHD? What if I wanted to backup the game saves of all installed games? Save game files are stored on each individual VHD That is a shame and, for me personally, is a rather big disadvantage. I would want to periodically backup all saves rather than doing it individually. Sadly there is no good ga...

I had issues with aspect ratios on my CRT. I don't know what's going on with the colors, but the ao486 uses the scaler unfortunately. Try adjusting the "aspect ratio" and "scale" options. Colors are strange. I had no issue with colors. If you do get working settings, be sure to save them so they apply to all games. This may need...

Here's an updated version of the Space Quest III.zip with the same defaults but can now play the 'Where Am I' speech and also includes the MTBLAST.DRV and the install.exe file for configuration:

https://archive.org/details/space-quest-3_202403

Done.

What software does this collection use to generate the initial VHD file? I noticed, much to my relief, that the one I randomly picked (Colonization) is an actual VHD instead of a raw image with the wrong extension. Three cheers for that! :D :D :D I pulled it through DOSContainer and this is what my VHD implementation thought of it: Disk metadata a...

Strike Commander - Fixed Mouse
Colonization - Removed useless CHD

Some new configs added:

The Simpsons
Duke Nukem Ep1, Ep2 and Ep3
Crazy Cars III also known as Lamborghini American Challenge
Blues Brothers
A-Train

New Stuff coming all the time.

-Emubastard

I'm not sure if this was discussed before, but the setup/install/configuration files are missing so sound options and such cannot be changed by the user without importing files or other extra work. I'm curious about the decision behind this. I believe these setup files are small/tiny and serve a very useful purpose for those who want to change set...

The Space Quest III version is good however there is a version allowing the Sound Blaster for PCM/Speech (Which plays the "Where Am I" voice part in the intro). --- We certainly are interested in "interesting" corner cases like this where alternate versions are considered better or different for exactly these reasons. -Emubastard

Space Quest IV has some trouble/glitching with the speech in the intro. I don't think this is specific to the 0MHz release but if someone is aware of a solution to this, it would be great. I know that certain parts of this game are time-based and can be even impossible to pass at higher CPU speeds, but the speech works fine in other parts of the g...

Hi, i made a quick shot for the 0MHz Logo, hope you like it. Im actually not an owner of a MISTER – came here by searching for Analogue Pocket cores. I LOVE the AMIGAVISION-Project and would be very proud, if i could contribute to a similar project.0MHz_logo_v01_2024-03-23.png This is cool. I leave it up to @lemi Peer pressure. Get a mister and cr...

Can someone else test doing a "Button/Key Remap" in Ultimate Doom? For some reason, I can't get Up/Down/Strafe Left/Strafe Right to map to my controller. Right/Left works fine and it seems like the other buttons work fine. Not having this issue in any other games so far? EDIT: After some further testing, I realized the Up/Down/Strafe Lef...

But it's not configured to use the MT32. Any idea how to set this up? We discussed this earlier here: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?p=84516#p84516 I think all games in this collection assume Soundblaster for music, and they usually don't have a config utility from the original game so, as it is now, it would require a separate .VHD JUST to ...

Blood in a supposedly working setup. Haven't tested it extensively though.

Fair enough. It is a bit rough.

Lemmings- Doesn't load for me... "Invalid directory" "Bad command or file name" "D:\>11"

How many times have you tried this? I can't reproduce it.

Heroes of Might & Magic II You might want change the default on rungame.bat to SB16. CD-Audio is choppy on this game unfortunately, I myself have a MT32Pi and use MIDI, best we can have for now on Heroes 2. Also, you can delete the Multiplayer choice, it won't work in your setup as you don't have even PPP support installed (this game also uses...

First, thank you for creating yet another option to play these games. Having ScummVM and the EXODOS collection already, initially I wasn't going to take up more space. I saw PCN's video and have reconsidered, at least with a handful of games. Great fun for fastloading some classics. Nothing negative is intended in the following, but in testing, I ...

Amazing work! Bringing back so many old memories.

7th Guest is not working out of the box, there was a typo in the .mgl and easily fixed

Also, Warcraft II launches Warcraft 1, the .vhd is missing.

My apologies. Fixed for next release.

I don't know exactly how this might work, if we really need to inject a whole file, or if could at least send some kind of signal from the outside, which the Ms-Dos that runs in the core might use. Is there anything in the AO486.CFG that might affect something in the core that might be read from Ms-Dos? This is what I do with the x86 TapTo feature...
