Re: Can't Load ROMs

Was it fitted correctly ? The this side faces out has to face outwards. Also dont use the Auto. Switch Filezilla to binary. Yeah i made sure it fit correctly multiple times. Looks like it was just a crappy SDRAM build. There are tombstoned logic elements that should be surface mounted. Im guessing the pins arent making good contact either. Will ru...

Re: Can't Load ROMs

So after a full reset I still can't play most roms. Gray screen on NES and nothing in SNES or Genesis cores. Only a few random arcade cores load and play. Wondering if my SDRAM is bad or if windows is corrupting my roms when i transfer or decompress them. Im just hitting my head against the wall here. If you are transferring them via FTP, make sur...

Re: Can't Load ROMs

Do you have an sdram module? That core requires sdram. Also run the downloader.sh script with your MiSTer on the internet. If you ran update.sh, that one's sorta deprecated now. https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_MiSTer/setup/software/ Try and retrace your steps with this guide. Thanks for the help. I just went ahead and wiped it and started ov...

Re: Can't Load ROMs

Delete your /media/fat/games/NES directory . Run update_all.sh . Take heed of " NES2.0 " headers mentioned on the wiki ; there might just be a place on the internet , an archive if you will, from which you might find what you seek . Tried this and still getting the gray screen on NES core when trying to load NES2.0 ROMS. I even verified ...

Re: Can't Load ROMs

MiSTer is as picky with ROMs as original hardware. Software emulators ignore little file issues and continue to play but original hardware doesn't. If it wouldn't work in a flashcart on the real console, there's basically no chance of it working on MiSTer. I'm making an assumption arcade was taken care of by the update_all script which is why thos...
