disk errors when using mounted ISO images

hi all I've been having issues using ISO CD images. I mounted AmigaOS 3.2 ISO and was able to install AmigaOS 3.2 successfully but after a reboot it was unable to read all of the contents of the CD. The icon was missing and so were several files and folders. If I copy a fresh version of the ISO it works perfectly. I suspected that the installation ...

Re: Latest ao486 Core Release Messed Up Disk Access

It did update the boot VHD though which I also use for my large eXoDOS VHD. Still, I dont think that is the issue because if I boot Windows 98, that now struggles to browse the disk now (it used to work fine before). It's a real mystery.

Re: Latest ao486 Core Release Messed Up Disk Access

I know I am pushing it, but it did used to work perfectly until a couple of days ago. I'm trying to figure out why it was working fine before but not anymore

Re: Latest ao486 Core Release Messed Up Disk Access

Thanks I'll try smartdrv and report back. As for chkdsk I already tried that by attaching the VHD in Windows 11. It reported no errors. Interestingly enough this seemed to start having issues when I executed the eXoDOSTop300Updater script (since I have that pack too) which updated the shared boot VHD which both use. Perhaps coincidence but maybe not?

Re: Latest ao486 Core Release Messed Up Disk Access

It is a lot but that's just how big eXoDOS is. I waited several minutes for DIR to complete before I gave up. Sometimes Total DOS Launcher opens up instantaneously but other times it says "Inspecting file cache at E:\GAMES" and that takes like 5 minutes. Thanks for your suggestion but it says it's for FAT16 but this partition is FAT32. Bt...

Re: Latest ao486 Core Release Messed Up Disk Access

I'm having issues too. Sometimes DOS struggles to read my 120gb eXoDOS VHD. Sometimes it's fine but lately it struggles to read it. When I try to view thew contents of the drive with the DIR command I see the list of files but then DOS freezes when it gets to the bottom of the list and attempts to print the available disk space information

Scroll Wheel Support for AmigaOS 3.2

AmigaOS 3.2 supports scroll wheel but this doesn't seem to work on the MiSTer. Is there any extra config I need to perform to get that working?

Re: Depricated.

Alone in the Dark in this collection has no music. Any way to get that working? It's just not the same without that soundtrack!

Re: HDMI 4K Monitor Unable to Get a Stable Sync

Unfortunately 1440p mode 12 gets no sync at all for me :(. I might have to stick with 720p

Re: HDMI 4K Monitor Unable to Get a Stable Sync

Hmm was just in the Minimig core and when it switched screen mode in AmigaOS to an interlaced mode it started to become unstable again (it's usually fine when I switch screen modes). Looks like its not just the MiSTer menu that has the issue. [EDIT}: I was able to stabilise it just now by changing the output to 1280x720. Not ideal, I'd expect this ...

Re: HDMI 4K Monitor Unable to Get a Stable Sync

Thanks yeah I already checked for a main section in the ini file and there isn't one. PAL mode is disabled but even if I enable it, the issue remains. It's really annoying, especially if I'm using the terminal or running the update script since that only outputs to the HDMI.

HDMI 4K Monitor Unable to Get a Stable Sync

Hi all I have a 4k monitor connected to the HDMI interface on my MiSTer (along with a Commodore 1084S 15khz monitor attached to the VGA on the IO board). A few months ago (must have been some update that caused the issue) my HDMI monitor has struggled to keep an image on the screen for more than a couple of seconds before going black for a few more...
