Re: Thinking About Doing MiSTer Users Group Meets in SoCal

"like we use to do with computers back in the day." - SCCS perhaps (Southern California Computer Society)? Group buys for 1702 EEPROMS, Microsoft Basic on paper tape, etc. Anyone working on an Oliver Audio Engineering tape reader interface for Mister anyone?

Re: 9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄

I'm another very happy camper! My display came yesterday in perfect condition and it looks completely new and it's beautiful! However like several others I was unable to change the menu to English using any of the key sequences I found in this thread. I messed around for a while and found a sequence that works for this me: Press the Menu button to ...

Cheap Target for FPGA Hackers

If your primary interest is in FPGA hacking and the DE10 is out of your price range you might want to look into surplus Pano Logic thin clients. For about 1/2 of the cost of an SDRAM board ($25 ish) you can get hackable board with 128MBytes of SDRAM, VGA and HDMI interfaces, USB, Gigabit Ethernet based on a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA with 147,443K logic...

Re: Micro SD Card Errors

I couldn't wait for a new card so I tired another "no name" card I had lying around. The third time was the charm. The update script finished successfully! Several cores work am I'm running the memtest test now.

What an awesome project, and I'm not even a "gamer".

Re: Micro SD Card Errors

It's helpful, thanks for replying!

I guess I'm just having some bad luck. The second card is now read only which explains the reboots! It appears that Mr Fusion was written correctly since I verified it and it boots but it doesn't look like Mr Fusion was not able to write anything. I've ordered some new SD cards, hopefully that'll help.

Micro SD Card Errors

I've had my DE10 nano on order for over a year from Mouser and it finally came yesterday. I fired it off with the stock SD card and it seem to work fine (pulled an IP address, drove an HDMI monitor and I could browse the embedded website). Today I'm trying to install Mister but I appear to be having SD card issues. The first card I tried is a PNY 6...
