Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!
So for some reason the script glitched out for me and started switching cores and games every 2 minutes even if I was playing them... and it was super fun! Could this be an official feature with an adjustable timer like or a would it be possible to map a button or mister physical input for next random game? You can disable input detection in the I...

Re: tty2oled Software Add-On with USB/SD Support (Show Text/Pictures based on loaded Core on Display)
I had the same issue at first. I ended up purchasing the parts listed in this post:
viewtopic.php?p=26016#p26016
I was able to assemble a working tty2oled and use it with my MiSTer easily and without soldering.

You are thinking of this all wrong!
From now on, when you miss a jump in a platformer, you have to touch the case. See how long before you improve!

Go ahead and steal any of that code. It was time consuming to write. Glad if we get more benefits.venice wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 8:19 am I steal a bit from SAM for this

It’s not final i think but it works.
Looks great! Nice thing about the menus - you can use the controller to navigate them.

I created a few helper scripts using the new commands in the latest version. Thought they might be of interest to others.

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!
I just uploaded an update to Super Attract Mode which requires the latest tty2oled. With that you'll get the standard tty2oled core graphics for 10 seconds, a transition, then the game and system name are displayed. Open to suggestions for further features!
To update SAM simply run MiSTer_SAM_on.sh and let it auto-update.

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!
Mellified, how easy is it to add new cores in ? I would like to add for personal use the ZX Spectrum core using .z80 snaps. I pick those as they load straight in without keyboard input. I know it's not going to be for everybody to do this - but is it just a case of looking at the code and replicating what I see with other cores or is there somethi...

MiSTer @ 1440P 4:3 stream+capture with output to LG C1 OLED
I stayed up way too late last night, but I got my setup re-wired and re-configured so I can capture and stream MiSTer @ 1440P 4:3 while outputting to my LG C1 OLED! I had to move my other devices onto a USB capture card and put the MiSTer directly into the PCI capture card. Most of the time was diagnosing a bad HDMI cable and figuring out how to ge...

In two hours I have seen the same game I think 10 times, that randomizer needs to be changed :) That can happen for a few reasons. 1. Make sure you're using the latest version - SAM will self update if you run "MiSTer_SAM_on.sh" and let it go. We added code in the last major release to improve randomization and try to account for differe...

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!
Super Attract Mode uses a third party tool to copy the selected ROM to a known location, then uses emulated keystrokes to select that ROM. It's a huge kludge because MiSTer lacks a standard method for telling a core to load a ROM. You can check out the tool we use here:

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!
Small feature request--currently, it looks like the script only supports RBF files in the _Consoles directory. So any of us who keep RBFs in the root or custom folders can't use this. It'd be nice if there was a place to specify the RBF location in the ini file, just like you can with the games directory. This is unlikely to be added. We consider ...

NeoGeo is unfortunately picky. I can't get it working at all via CIFS for example. There is a pre-made pack out there that works for most people though.

Quick stupid question - any chance Pier Solar can be special-cased somehow? What I'm thinking is that as you're loading up the MegaCD ISO into the temp directory, _always_ copy a neighboring cart.rom (if it exists at all)...if it isn't needed, it'll be ignored. I don't think so unfortunately. The tool we use to load the games - mbc by pocomane - d...

I picked up this 2-pack of in-line microUSB power switches so I can turn my tty2oled screen on and off independently from the MiSTer. Thought it might be of interest to some of you!

It works great :D thanks for your project. I improved SAM today with a more consistent handling of the s60tty2oled daemon. I added a fix so SAM doesn't inadvertently kill the inotifywait daemon tty2oled is using. I also included the fix you suggested for the top line of text.

Specifically, writing a " " (space) character doesn't create a blank area under it no matter which font type I use. I was hoping to do this so I could wipe part of the screen - not the whole thing with "cls".

Unfortunately the new fonts don't overwrite existing ones it seems. I also tried using the symbolic font, but those didn't overwrite either. Not the end of the world - the support as-is works well. The new fonts are a little more stylized, which gives a different aesthetic. May be nice for some use cases!
