So they never fixed the 4:3 lag problem on the C2?

Update_all has multiple settings, and I think it defaults to not downloading ROMs. If you press the up arrow when it first launches, it should take you to a configuration screen.

Then you've gotten exceptionally lucky, aren't leaving your Mister running, or both.

The DE-10's maximum resolution is 2048x1536. That's video_mode 13. I'd try both 12 and 13, to see which you like better.

Video_mode=14 is 2560x1440, but it's doubling the width of the horizontal pixels, so it's really 1280x1440. Video_mode=12 has more actual data, and 13 has the most pixels you can get at 1:1.

There is no stock fan. There's only what each individual vendor decides to use. The socket is for a 40x10mm fan, but what fan actually gets put there depends on who you buy it from. Legacypixels, for instance, uses lousy sleeve bearing fans, which are loud and will typically fail within a year or so. Mine didn't last five months.

The 6809 CPU had some nice facilities for multitasking, which weren't used by the base ROM. I'm pretty sure that's what NitroOS was about.

I've never used it, even in emulation, but I read about it somewhere, probably Wikipedia.

I can confidently assert that early Macs had a DAC of some kind. I don't know any details at all, but they definitely had one.

Glad to hear it's the TV. What a weird bug. It kind of looks like it's lost most of the blue line, somehow.

I ordered this one, and it worked beautifully for months:

It's currently $8.

I later replaced it with a USB switchbox, which has also been very good.

There's a WheelDriverAkiko floppy image that should be in the Games/Amiga directory. It has some kind of driver for that, but I haven't set it up myself, so I can't be very specific.

I think it's installed on the MegaAGS image, if you need help seeing how it works.

Ooh, cool. I downloaded a bunch of MSX1 stuff when the new core came online, but from online searches, it looks like most of the genre-defining classics on the system were MSX2 or later. A really solid version of that core would be a lot of fun to play with.

Well, it hurts your wallet a little. I spent $15 on the 5V version of the Noctua fan, and four or five bucks on a pack of ten 22mm heatsinks, nine of which are still sitting in the bag. But it's very quiet. I can't hear it unless the room is dead silent and I pay very close attention. The sleeve bearing fan the I/O board came with was noisy.

If that's just foam, like it appears, you definitely want to pull it out of there.

Ah, okay, I missed that.

Being really hot can be a sign of not getting enough voltage; the system then pulls more amps to try to compensate, and amperage is what makes things get hot.

Using a separate power supply for the Pi, and turning off the power switch on the hat so the current doesn't flow backward, would be a useful experiment.

I thought I broke my DE-10 the day I got it, Francis, for a very similar reason: loose SD card. I felt so stupid after I figured it out.

I just unzipped it to my SD card, as I said it's working

How do you know that your MT32-pi works?

This is an excellent question.

OP: Continuing to insist that the MT32-Pi works, while also complaining it doesn't work, seems, er, counterproductive.

As others have suggested, the power supply is a likely source of the problem.

Ah, I always avoid doing that because not all cores clear their memory correctly. A warm reboot has seemed more reliable to me, and a cold reboot almost always works. I sometimes have to do a hard poweroff after update_all replaces the Mister binary, however.

If the SD card actually is the problem, running over Ethernet to a NAS can be substantially faster.
