MiSTer FPGA Forum

Two versions ago I couldn't get past the Mario says "It's a me Mario" screen, do you have to do some special configuration? Apparently that screen with Mario's head tends to be crashy, there are patches for the rom that remove that part, called "no face" patches I think. You can see in Robert's video in that Twitter link that a...

Apparently there are three models of the MemCard Pro at the moment, and the latest model no longer has a FPGA. I can't find any information on what differences or impact on compatibility if any there might be due to this. Removing the FPGA from a product that advertises it uses a FPGA seems like a pretty big deal (Although I believe the FPGA-less m...

We made up a very quick (hacked) PSX SNAC interface for the Multisystem User port - it's all working quite well in the new PSX Core that now supports direct PlayStation controllers via SNAC. - this is using a port set from a real PlayStation, it's very simple to connect up to the SNAC pins. Would this even work with some of the more oddball Memory...

Thank You for that example. Wow, track 2 of Arachno was really painful to listen to with how heavily it would crackle. Track 3 was pretty bad too.

Is this from a Zero2 just running on stock? Or is this while also attempting some of the mitigations you mentioned like reducing the Polyphony to 200 or overclocking it to 1.2GHz?

I have been thinking about the Mt-32 addon, as it's one of the addons I am most interested in. It uses a PiZero 2 right? Not a standard Pi4 as it would be too big? Is there any room/cooling for possibility of an overclock? I was reading another thread about using a Zero2 in place of a Pi4 to do Mt-32 emulation, and apparently the Zero 2 is not powe...

Got around to testing with Pi Zero 2 W. There is a couple of soundfonts I had issues with, namely "Arachno" but most soundfonts worked with no problem. I found the overclock helped in some scenarios but you could also lower the polyphony to 200. IE run with 1.2GHz and 256 polyphony or 1Ghz with a 200 polyphony. I let some midi tracks(7) ...

Is that video in the tweet still relevant today? I was hoping that the PiZero2 would be powerful enough to fully replace a Pi4 as a MT32-Pi, but it's sad to hear that with games that have more complex soundtracks you would need an overclock to pull that off. I wasn't aware the Pi4 was just barely managing it.

Just watched the video and one thing I am not too keen on is how the SCART placement was changed. Now I admit, I am mostly going to be using HDMI, but I wanted the SCART available too and I was figuring to just use a cover over the top port when I was not using it, mainly because I didn't like the idea of having a thick SCART cable with it's large ...

Yes, we are working on expansion 'cartridges' for the Multisystem, and also other electronics for the Multisystem/MiSTer family. Mt32Pi 'cartridge' modules is first on the list after the recent poll. We have lots of 'ugly' prototypes :) - when they start to look nicer, I will post some images and spec's etc. Happy to hear, one of the main things I...

I'm in the process of gathering everything together for my MiSTer multisystem build and was wondering if anyone has been successful in using a multisystem with an MT32-Pi. Was just looking into this, and wondering how it could be integrated if in any way to the Multisystem. I figured it wasn't possible without an entirely different top part of the...

Fit and finish on the I2C2OLED dust cover is perfect. Even matches the recommended button colors! Go make one! https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/120092-mister-multisystem-i2c2oled-dust-cover First I have heard of this, but I do love the idea. Is that screen using any port that the Multisystem or any other accessories normally use? Or is it gene...

Is it still possible to connect a MT32-Pi Hat to the Multisystem? I am not familiar if it needs a specific port or any USB port will work. Or if it would be possible to somehow make it fit on that front removable expansion slot area. Yes, the SNAC port is located on the front of the multisystem Wait, it goes through the SNAC port? I thought it was...
