In the F18A core I'm getting the same corruption in Rasmus's ZQX ONE as you are @edburns

Load the rom/bin with Load Rom Cart *.BIN (unless you are using a M99 version, in that case use the first option)
Make sure Cart Type: is Paged378

I can't replicate it so it's hard to troubleshoot it.
Have you tried using an HDMI monitor/TV and see if it loads up that way?

I honestly don't know, you can try if you have the equipment, but I myself, don't have the ability to check.
The F18A core doesn't have a different name (it uses the same as the original core) so it can keep the same configuration and GAMES folder as the original non-F18A core.

I could be wrong, but I believe the 1084S can't handle 640x480 @60hz which is what the F18A outputs.

Are you by any chance using a CRT? Does the standard TI-994/a core work for you?

I believe I fixed the control issue with Dirty Chameleon (played for a few levels a few times and it seems to work now).
Try this out, if everything looks good and no complaints, I'll push it up.

I used fmtownsa.zip from the mame rom set to get the fmt_* files...and while I didn't do any indepth testing/playing around with the core, it does boot and searches for floppy/harddrive...which I haven't gotten that far yet....other events keep taking me away...

hey, I tried playing the game Dirty Chameleon and I can't get it controlling right. The Chameleon can't move to the right, can't use it's tongue attack. Either the controls of this game are weird or there's some kind of bugginess going on.

I'll take a look at it when I get home.

boot.rom in games/TOWNS

How far did you get with the core? Did you get a chance to load a rom file?
Are you using HDMI or VGA?

To complete the release I would need to push the .rbf to the releases folder, and once the cores list on the wiki is updated the distribution repo will start picking it up, right?

Correct

How large is the mister.png file?
It sounds like it may be too large to fit in the Pico's memory.

Mouse acceleration is usually handled by the window/desktop manager (Xorg, Gnome, etc...) , which Mister doesn't use.
I could be wrong since it's been ages that I dealt with it, but Linux, at the driver level doesn't do mouse acceleration.
DPI/sensitivity of course is a whole other thing.

Peke, for duration between updates, he's asking how long between the update you did 2 days ago and the update prior to that.

Looks like it need at least 108mhz

That line is for monitor settings.
I am not 100% sure on the resolution of the game itself, mame states its about 240x224 so try this line:
custom_aspect_ratio_1=20:19
and see if that is close to what you are looking for.

edit: also add this line to compare the two:
custom_aspect_ratio_2=60:56

Have you tried cycling through the available backgrounds with F1 till you got back to that display (should be right after the black screen)?

Glad it worked out for you

For arcades that store/save high scores....try looking in /media/fat/config/nvram.

Try changing this line:

\\#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/sh

The core uses the F18A implementation which outputs VGA hence the 480.

Tomy Tutor:
- Support for Cartridges with RAM
- Fixed CPU bug that caused some graphic glitches
- Added Video Cropping to remove top and bottom borders (not 216p though)

HomeLab KIT
- Fixed HTP loader. Now allows for non-Basic programs to autoload into RAM.

That looks like one of the config scripts for EmulationStation and not MiSTer
