Re: Minimig Game Saving (Dungeon Master)

If using MegaAGS / WHDload remember to quit the game using the hotkey (think it's the DELETE key - anyway it tells you when launching the game).

Re: ZX Spectrum Core - Save Games / States

Not at all! Rather shamefully, I haven't got around to trying the Next core yet. The Next has never really appealed to me, beyond the wonderful case & keyboard design. For me, the MiSTer is all about the authentic feel of the cores. I guess I will have to give the Next core a whirl and see how it feels with classic Speccy games, especially with...

Re: ZX Spectrum Core - Save Games / States

Thanks for this information, much appreciated. So that answers my question about the Alt+F2 model using the Pentagon rom - the only roms present are the 48k, Pentagon 128k and +3. I still don't understand why the DivMMC only works reliably in +3 mode (Alt-F3). From the information above it sounds like the rom shouldn't matter. The only difference b...

Re: ZX Spectrum Core - Save Games / States

After some more testing I noticed that DivMMC works very well in +3 mode (Alt-F3) - much better than with other models. In the default 128K mode it has the odd behaviour I described above. In 48K mode (Alt+F1) it is also unreliable, sometimes crashing with a "File not found" error when exiting from the NMI menu. I wonder if this relates t...

Re: Archer Maclean's Pool Right Mouse Button Issue

Tested it last night & confirmed fixed - brilliant! Thanks for your help with this. Out of interest do you have the same issue with Speedball 2? When the ball launches at the start of a point, the sound of the turret revolving is correct, but the subsequent sound of the ball being fired out is wrong. It clicks rather than playing the proper sou...

Re: ZX Spectrum Core - Save Games / States

I find the DIVMMC method to be rather slow (to take snapshots) and also unreliable. Some games work, some don't (across both 48k and 128k). Also you have to remember to launch the DIVMMC image first - before loading the game. Obviously not an issue if you load all your games via the DIVMMC - but that is not particularly convenient as I have most g...

Re: Archer Maclean's Pool Right Mouse Button Issue

That's great, many thanks. Probably a silly question but can this fix be applied to the MiSTer minimig? Does it need to be raised anywhere.

This and the broken ball launch sfx on Speedball 2 (at the start of a match) are the two main issues for me that break the illusion of not being on a real Amiga!

Archer Maclean's Pool Right Mouse Button Issue

This is a strange issue. The right mouse button does not work in Archer Maclean's pool or Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker. Right mouse clicks are not registered at all. The right mouse button is used when selecting menu items and when navigating the table. I have tried ADFs using an A500 setup and the whdload versions with an A1200 setup. The right...

Adjust screen position

I am struggling to understand exactly what this does, and what the optimal setting is. I've looked at the readme and had a play around, but it doesn't quite make sense. I have a 1920x1080 monitor and I want a PAL setup with 4x vertical scale. I have the following in mister.ini vscale_mode=0 video_mode=8 vsync_adjust=2 In the Minimig core menu I set...
