On original hardware, both these Japanese exclusives need to be played with Konami's special controller: Hyper Shot. On the MiSTer, a normal USB controller gives you no input, either on Hyper Sports or Hyper Olympic. Is there no way to play them without SNAC? AFAIK a 15 pin Famicom controller SNAC doesn't even exist. It would be cool if they could ...

Thank you everyone!! > You could set a custom aspect ratio to compensate - although this will also affect HDMI. See: https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_MiSTer/advanced/ini/#debug-settings I've done this, works fine now. I use separate .ini files to play either on HDMI or VGA so it's not a problem. Try to not use analog output for an LCD monitor ...

tl;dr My VGA monitor shows the upper 80% of the screen for the NES and TG16 cores. The rest doesn't fit the screen because it's fitting the screen horizontally, for some reason. Why? I've been happily playing with my MiSTer for a little over a year but just now switched from HDMI to VGA output to a 15" LCD monitor. MiSTer tutorials are great b...

Thank you SO much. (Sorry for the late reply, was crazy busy.) Noob mistake, I had assumed the default output for the MiSTer was 1080, nope. But I changed it now, video Mode 8. Now the GBA is running at glorious 4x scaling. And I set the Game Gear to 4x too. Since the GG shares the core with the Master System, I'm using the MiSTer_alt_1.ini to swit...

Thank you so much Rhester72 and Yim! Yes, changing vscale_border worked like a charm. Yim, it's weird but vscale_border=300 leaves the screen extremely small, at what seems like the original resolution. vscale_border=150 looks like 3x scaling. But I can't figure the ratio, I didn't manage to get something resembling 4x. 100 and 50 don't give me the...

Sorry if this is a noob question but I haven't found tutorials for this. I'm pretty sure the MiSTer will be able to do the following but not many people seem to be doing it. Is there a way to have the screen only be 2 or 3 times the original 240x160 resolution, instead of the default 5 times to fit the screen? So having the core display at 480x320 ...

I really should do something with mine rather than the simple top and bottom panels that I have. Ideal would be a tiny Mini ITX box but whether they're worth the price or not, it's not worth (for me) spending that kind of money on one of these ITX boards that are starting to come out. I recommend you check this MiSTer Mini ITX Adaptor , I'm thinki...

Wow, you're a well of knowledge, I appreciate it. I'll make sure to ask Antonio about zappers before buying his IO board. Indeed for me that would be the biggest selling point for SNAC. A USB3 cable seems problematic indeed, I see it can drop voltage which is also bad in the case of the PCE/TG16: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=2386 (you res...

Thank you very much guys. Now I'm starting to see why antoniovillena.es would make a different user port (DB9 vs USB3 connector). I'll drop the hub idea and if anything, will see how to bring the SNAC connector to the front of a mini-itx case. If as RetroP says USB 3.0 extender cables work on the SNAC, that would be pretty handy bc the same case fr...

I´m guessing that a manual and mechanical usb switch could work. For example something like this would probably work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I0Y3GEE Thank you, a mechanical USB switch sounds like a great idea. The problem is... all switches (like this one on Amazon) are for switching the host, right? The reverse of what I want to do. That an...

I'd like to make a case for my MiSTer with original controller ports stuck on the front and am wondering if I could hook the USB cables via a hub to the SNAC port. Since it doesn't follow the USB protocol I'm guessing it won't work? Is there an alternative to avoid plugging and unplugging? To be clear I just want to use one controller at a time. If...
