Re: MiSTerFPGA Y/C Out Module (Direct - S-Video / Composite Output) - Update

I was thinking about making my own cable too, but I've got enough projects to finish as it is. I already have a VGA to component adapter, so I just need a component to S-Video adapter. Is there one on Amazon or somewhere? I found one, but it's a "7-pin" S-video adapter, so doesn't look like it would work. I cut a VGA cable and a svideo c...

Re: MiSTerFPGA Y/C Out Module (Direct - S-Video / Composite Output) - Update

Is there a pinout diagram somewhere that I can use to build a custom cable? I have a VGA cable and a s-video cable to act as donors, just not sure about how to arrange the mod. I got in touch with Mike on discord and he instructed me on how to build the cable: VGA Pin #1 (Red) connects to SVIDEO Chroma (NW) VGA Pin #2 (Green) connects to SVIDEO Lu...

Re: S-Video and Composite Over Component Output! (Custom Cores)

I'm using the VGA to Component cable I bought from MiSTerAddOns in the event I ever found a Component TV worth picking up. You just need a basic cable, not any kind of converter, so that Monoprice one should work. The MiSTer's output is what handles sending the correct signal down the correct wires. Then all you need is a stereo to mono RCA adapte...

Re: S-Video and Composite Over Component Output! (Custom Cores)

@MikeS11 Can I ask what is the link to download the latest test cores for end users/testers. The link I have is now a 404. https://github.com/MikeS11/Test_Pattern_YC/tree/main/Test%20Release Thanks! Was an old repository and I didn't want to confuse people, you should be going here for the latest: https://github.com/MikeS11/Template_MiSTer/tree/ma...

Re: Mikes Excellent Beta Composite / S-Video Support (No converting adapter needed!)

In my experience the 'dot crawl' of an original genesis via composite and the 'dot crawl' of the genesis core w/ Antonio's adapter are drastically different things. I'm looking forward to trying Mike's solution when my cables arrive. I've really enjoyed Antonio's adapter, but the genesis core has been unplayable for me.

Re: S-Video and Composite Over Component Output! (Custom Cores)

I am currently using Antonio's adapter for composite output because it's the best my Samsung GX TV supports until I RGB mod it. I really like Antonio's adapter, but the genesis core makes me nauseous which was a big disappointment. I'd like to try this output method, but I am not sure which kind of adapter I need. Ive seen VGA>component adapters (...

Re: Setting Up a Home NAS for MiSTer Think About Using RetroNAS

This past week I setup a pi4 w/ a USB3 HDD as a retroNAS. I followed Bob's videos to setup the retroNAS. I loaded it up with everything I wanted for MiSTer including the ao486 top 300 pack. I did a fresh Mr Fusion install on a 64GB SD, then I grabbed the mount_cifs.sh and followed Dan's video to figure that part out. Everything is auto mount as if ...
