Just a humble Arcade core wishlist: Haley's Comet (Taito) Any Cave CV1000 Missile Command (Atari) Stunt Cycle (Atari) Galaga '88 (Namco) Krull (Gottlieb) In case you missed it, I released Missile Command a couple of days ago :D That is awesome! Thank you! Now, if only it were still possible to get one of those large, old school Atari track balls.....

I’ve been using my MiSTer mostly on CRT since getting it up and running about a month ago. I’ve used it on my HDTV a few times, so honestly here’s my take… CRT: + For these old games, this is THE definitive experience. Over component, I would argue that arcade cores look as good as they did in their cabinets. The consoles look even better, of cours...

Just got my replacement Ultimate MiSTer Top plate in the mail today. Installed it and have had it running continuously for about an hour now. So far so good. I'll probably keep it on for the better part of the evening just to make sure all is good; I'll be sure to update this post with the news. Again, a big shout out/Thank you to RickDangerous for...

So you still haven't tried running it with the fan blowing air out of the case? Actually, I didn't even get to that after trying the test below. So an airflow issue (at least in my case) was eliminated once I discovered that I could run as long as the Top was not connected to its JST connector on the IO board. As a matter of fact, I could feel coo...

Hi - has anyone tried this with the Blisster? I had no problem configuring one of my joysticks with the LLAPI version of the 7800 core, but the paddle? I can’t get neither MiSTer nor the core (when I enable LLAPI) to recognize neither paddles nor the buttons on the paddle controller. FWIW, the paddles do work on my 2600 console. UPDATE: Well, I fin...

Well, it is a sad update, but after a few days with a few hours of play time each time, my MiSTer suddenly started with the reboot issue again. :( I did a little troubleshooting, and after simply removing the top plate (and disconnecting The JST plug from the IO board (for the menu buttons soldered to the top plate), it started working again, where...

I finally had a little time to experiment with mu MiSTer today. Long story short, I was able to use my MiSTer, "fully dressed", for close to two hours today! Of course the "bad news", if you can call it that, is that I honestly don't know why it's working, after two previous attempts to install the case. Anyway, in order to dete...

Well, I have not had any issues with my “naked” MiSTer since my last post - as a matter of fact, I had it on for a little over 2 hours straight today as I finally got a stereo Y adapter for the audio jack to test on my CRT with sound. I will take the above into account, however, so I will check the IO board thoroughly this week. The boards themselv...

if you take the MiSTer setup out of the case and run it barebone, does it keep working? you might have a dead short to the case somewhere, i've had that once with a pc case which my father bought for his pc that kept that machine in a dead boot loop. once i ran it outside the case it ran perfectly fine, when i replaced the case with a decent one t...

FWIW, I purchased everything (except the DE-10 Nano itself) from Ultimate Mister last year, including a Blisster (I FINALLY got the Nano a few weeks ago). The original delivery of parts was great, and everything went together well when I finally built it. Only issue I’ve had is with the unit shutting down when fully enclosed in the case, but I seem...

Thanks for the suggestions, although until I get a chance to test the fan with airflow pulling up and out of the case, I’m still going with the “trapped heat” theory. I know that it’s not the case top - the buttons still sit loose on the case, and even with the top screws removed (but the top just lying there connected), it would still reboot. I do...

Well, I tried to flip my fan today, however, the Noctua fan I have is designed to accept the panhead of the screws on the fan side; it has a small inset for the head, allowing the screw to peek out a little more on the other side of the PCB. By sitting flush on the face of the label side, my screws are too short to hold the ADC board. I also tried ...

Sounds like something could be shorting somewhere. I'm not personally familiar with that case though. How is the USB hub getting power? Is it one of those metal prong jobbies (I'm really not a fan of those)? I’m using one of those small loop cables. One of the things I checked was to see if it was heating up at all, but it isn’t. Based on my updat...

Is your fan blowing air out of the case instead of pulling air in? Hmm, I just happened to stumble on a thread about fan orientation in the Hardware Forum. It is currently label side down. Based on your question and the content of that forum thread, I will try flipping the orientation to see if blowing the air out and up makes a difference. Thanks...

FWIW, as a newcomer, I’m currently facing an issue where my unit is rebooting/shutting down when enclosed in an Ultimate MiSTer PCB case. If I remove the panels, it works fine. The Cyclone has a heat sink on it, and my fan is facing label down. Based on this thread, I may flip the fan label side up and see what happens, since someone asked this ver...

I checked the DIP switches, and although they were correct, I decided to toggle them all based on other search results I found about them. That appears to have done the trick! Thank you both for the suggestions. :D EDIT: I guess I spoke too soon - however, after two attempts, I have isolated the problem to my Ultimate MiSTer case, of all things. I ...

Hi everyone, UPDATE: I resolved my issue, only to find that it came back as soon as I wrapped it back up in my Ultimate MiSTer case... Don't know if it's a possible overheating issue? (The FPGA has a heatsink and the fan is operating normally) I just got my MiSTer set up today, and have been having issues trying to get it up and running. It seems t...
