MiSTer FPGA Forum

Commit 076fd2b This change turned out to be a lot more complex than anticipated. Don't know if this helps as an example, but this is a (Python) script made by user @bootsector on the MiSTer Discord. I used this to correctly organize my chd files for multiple cores. That Python script seems to be doing same as I initially did on my PSX game directo...

Also, A big thank you to everyone who tested this! Feedback has been quite valuable. I'm not sure how much more time I have to spend on this (just doing it for fun anyway), but here's a shortlist of features I'm looking into next: Enable controller-only operation DONE Full library download function (for reasonably sized libraries only) Keep session...

Commit 076fd2b : Place CD images into game-specific subdirectories CD based systems benefit from having each game in their own directory, especially so with multi-CD games. Implemented heuristics for determining a suitable unique path for each game. There are some corner cases when it doesn't work, in such case the files are simply placed to the RO...

I did find one issue with downloading PSX files and that is that they require a unique subdirectory for each game. I was not previously aware of this! Thank you for pointing it out. Looking at the PSX core documentation, multiple CD games only require all images in the same folder - so it's not required to have individual directories per game. But...

The script sources /media/fat/Scripts/.config/romweasel/settings.sh for user settings, or if the file doesn't exist, creates it.

I'd be happy with a "select all" as well. It might come in handy. This feature is currently absent on purpose. I'm considering adding a separate code path for downloading full libraries, but only if the total library size is reasonable; I don't want to encourage wasting archive.org's bandwidth. They're struggling as it is, and their work...

So far it gives me 0B size for the TGFX16 CD and PSX games I selected and then it doesn't download anything. Did you actually select anything before trying to download? You need to select items with spacebar. If that is the issue, it's an oversight on my behalf - I realised too late the script cannot be used at all without a keyboard. I intend to ...

Either way works.

Hello nerds, I wrote myself a little tool for finding and downloading individual game ROMs on the MiSTer. This is mainly intended for CD based systems, when having local copies of full libraries isn't sensible. Or when my local library just happens to be missing something I very urgently must play. I'd appreciate any feedback from users, coders etc...

To get cmdline utility btpair to work with HHKB Hybrid, I needed to modify the script a bit to show PIN code sent from my keyboard to MiSTer.

Meanwhile, on ebay ... :shock: 8-) This was their intention, create fame and prestige by being rare. Same strategy is used by many modern hip hop artists, they hype up a new LP record release, only make a small batch which is literally instantaneously sold out (in less than 5 minutes online) and absolutely never do a re-print. It appears this stra...

PSA: A recent change in the core adopts recommended DIP switch settings from the R-Type arcade operator's manual, making the default difficulty DIFFICULT instead of NORMAL. This makes the game insidiously hard and most people will probably want to set it to NORMAL instead.

To be honest I am completely lost here... I've been running emulators since 20 years and just a short while ago I moved to FPGA only because I've been surrounded by people in my community that moved beyond emulation and started using FPGA and convincing me of its pure way of playing the good old games. Not because it is easy but because the hard w...
