Re: New Feature For Neo Geo Core

I think it's a question which parallels the whole console 'ROMhacks' and HB MAME scene. Are you downloading HB .mras? Do you mind doing so? Do you play them and enjoy doing so? Preservation is fine, as long as it doesn't end up in 'mummification' :)

Re: SNAC not working properly when using extension cord with PCE Controller

I designed a special board to allow the special controllers to work Is there any chance we could see this made and sold through the usual outlets? My CoreGrafx II PI-PD8 pad screams for its turbo sliders to be effective :) I've contacted Ricardo about the possibility of a limited production run, but he -understandably from a business point- dodged...

Hi sk8er000 and sorry for pissing on your thread :mrgreen:, but could you also please take a look at this and possibly materialize it for us, the unwashed masses who can't solder?

oOo i like the idea of the removeable hard drive on a cartridge.. Yeah, a 'NAND slot' of sorts would be great and that would shut some mouths. Edit: I should make clear, that only Sorg could make that a reality.

Yeah, SD card has nothing to do with it. If it had, you wouldn't be able to boot the MiSTer in the first place.

There seems to be a recurrent issue with those MK.1650-50 MADE IN MALAYSIA three button MD pads; please refer to this thread.

Re: Genesis/Mega Drive (CD) SNAC : phantom button presses

Which make of controller are you using? Only original controllers will work with SNAC (and I mean original; the 8bitdo wireless stuff is not, contrary to what is said). Were you using an SMS two button pad/joystick with the SMS core? Mega Drive controllers won't cut it there, even if they have the same DB9 connector.

Excellent project with crisp quality photos! Those uploaded at the moment seem to only have been shot from an aperture grille flat CRT (computer monitor or Trinitron TV).

It would be very helpful if people with standard shadow mask consumer TVs of the 80s and early 90s, can produce such detailed results!

Re: Auto fire not working?

I was about to say that for autofire to work on MiSTer cores, it must also be supported by your controller in the first place ("turbo function").

↓ correction; zakk4223 is of course right. I'm just used to SNAC where controller 1:1 functionality indeed matters :)
