MiSTer FPGA Forum

Yes, they do, all of them (including the three little ones). A common mistake when initializing the controller setup in the menu, is using a different controller or the keyboard to define buttons. Once you go in the setup screen, just push one of the Taito mini buttons to let MiSTer know of the vid:pid id of the particular controller; then erase it...

So, I received mine today. The situation regarding MiSTer use, is exactly as flynnsbit describes; everything's working as it should except for the spinner. As far as quality goes, it's surprisingly pleasant; the trackball has a heft to it despite its small size and fits my hand nicely. I was worried the whole thing would feel plastic-y and toy-ish,...

Good ole archive.org and its throttling

There is a little trick to avoid that: rename the unofficial rbf and edit the mras pointing to the new core name. Even you can create a new folder and drop the Blackwine´s specific mras into it. ...or just create an exception in your downloader.ini : [mister] filter = !arcade-segasys1 This way, the update script will ignore the specific core and ....

Hello and welcome! The BlisSTer is not an officially supported peripheral; however you may want to join the Bliss-box discord server , in which you can find the CLI tool permitting you to properly configure P1 and P2 ports. You apparently also want to flash your board to the newest firmware. Ricardo (ultimatemister.com) has the needed script includ...

I've just ordered this, in hope our wizards can make it work properly 🤞 Thing is, there's no such combined trackball + spinner * paddle controller anywhere, and making one from scratch would add up to waaay more costs; buying an Ultimarc spinner, trackball, compatible I-PAC and wiring, not to mention sourcing or making a nice case for those, would ...

Great stuff from both of you akeley & Foxbat . This guide-in-making, guarantees that there will not be any questions lingering. A reason I first got my MiSTer, was that it advertised to be easily connected to a CRT. In reality, I went scuffing bits off from the internets to make my rigs work (which finally didn't, at least to a satisfactory deg...

Yes, you're missing the names_txt file. Make sure that it gets downloaded by checking your update_all .ini settings.

Oh boy, I wish we could someday get Terra Diver (SEGA S-TV core, aka Saturn)! Until then, I guess the PSX implementation will have to do

Go grab it peeps

...it would appear that @Ace was is also working on the Konami GX400 hardware, and that this release is closed source

Yeah, I wouldn't try to run proper BASIC commands on it Make sure you boot the core in mode 7 though (OSD setting)

Hello fellow Beeb aficionado!

You may want to try this unofficial build, until things get sorted out and it finds its way into the main repository:
Mind you, this build implements the capability of loading individual disk image files (instead of .MMB), but I'm not sure which DFS standard @alanswx has followed.

IMO much more beneficial would be trying to explain that the heavily exaggerated "thicc scanlines" look is a modern invention since back then nobody had PVMs nor wanted a "window blind" effect in their image. This ☝️ Best "scanlines" (or "darklines"), are the ones you don't notice! I've gathered a little col...

The core doesn't like Gamma filters for some reason

Edit: There are also some games like 'Salamander' and more, which will boot with garbled sprites, and some like 'Xadlak' which won't run at all; the core is still in beta.

I believe there's a deeper issue here which should be discussed, though it has already been brought to light at many instances before. The dude above obviously got hold of an expired key for some redundant Jotego betas, so he's reluctant to update to the newest featured releases which would require an ongoing Patreon pledge. So, who's at fault here...

Awfully sorry to be hijacking the Elk thread, but we need the latest Beeb core to be compiled in the main repo:
Most people who casually run the 'downloader' script once in a while and don't frequent the discord, won't even be aware of its existence!

@alanswx please nudge Sorg; he must have forgotten all about it

Ooh, now I see;

You need to go to the second page in the OSD to find the "video processing" menu! There you have it

Did you take a look at the update_all .ini option I mentioned? Just as you execute the script, push up on your dpad/joystick to have the configurator come up. If you're not a "patron" of Jotego's, you will not be able to assign controls in the beta cores and play, but you certainly get to see/adjust all the other 'standard' features of th...

Is it correct in Arcades Cores to have only 5 Shadow Mask? on Consoles and Computers you have dozens of options! :oops: If by "arcade cores" you mean only the Jotego ones which were previously restricted to the 5 hardcoded selections that you mention, he has already updated those to use the full spectrum of video processing adjustments (...

fraggore@sky.com wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 3:59 pm Tatsujin is like that the core is the correct speed.

I'm afraid not. Just compare with the speed the demo loop runs at. Maybe the sluggishness has to do with BGM syncing? (the demo -correctly- has no BGM).

Unlike dolphins, MAME isn't going away any time soon

Even when the Vogons wipe off the Earth to lay down their intergalactic highway, MAME (and the MiSTer) will still be there, in the restaurant at the end of the universe!

Unofficial zip with zerowing_u20220205.rbf. Mra files included.

Use at your own risk. Remove previous zerowing.rbf to be sure.

Risking my very own life, I found out that Truxton is still waay too sluggish to be playable.

Oh well, I guess we can wait for the wizards to do their thing in time

We all know a bunch of great shmups on the PS1, but let me point your attention to-

• Sōkyū Gurentai

It's awesome and runs fine on the beta core!

Is the tube modeled after the 6502 co-pro? I think it's the Z80 as in Torch

*CAT maybe? Although that won't work with .MMBs converted renamed to .vhd I'm afraid.

Try the updated core by alanswx:
...with which you can load individual disk images (.ssd).

You're on fire! Thanks jca!

It's been amazing what's happening so fast!

If I could unearth my "Advanced User Guide" copy... oh wait, that was for the BBC micro :mrgreen: Seriously, since you alone have resolved the DFS riddle with the beeb core, I'm sure you will come through with the Elk as well! Thank you for all you've been doing in preserving those Acorn machines which are dear to me! ❤️ Btw; how come the...

The deprecation of the Asteld/Jovec masks were not done out of any prejudice. We moved to a new attribution and categorization policy and asked creators to update their masks accordingly. Those who haven't done so yet: have been moved to the Deprecation folder. In all fairness to Asteld: he only had a week's notice. Everyone else heard about the c...
