Re: SparcStation Core

So far I have been unable to boot anything, I always get "No valid state has been set by load or init-program". Before I give it a rest and finish my new MISTer setup I have a few question? What is the version and date displayed by OpenBios? At this time I have 1.1 from 4/30/2020. At one time during my experiments I think I saw 1.4 but I...

Re: SparcStation Core

I'd like to get this core running but am not having any luck. My MiSTer recognizes the ss5.rbf, and I have rh.raw in Games/SparcStation. The screen I get on boot is an OpenBios screen that says Trying disk:a... then Trying disk... then "No valid state has been set by load or init-program". In the OSD menu SCSI: is set to Image. HD *.RAW i...

Re: Aminimiga for MiSTer

Does AmigaVision show the same issue? No, when I ESC to Workbench in AmigaVision the WB fits the screen fine. The settings there are MiSTer config is set to PAL, and the Amiga Prefs/ScreenMode are set to NTSC: High Res. Interestingly, this configuration (PAL and NTSC: High Res) works pretty well for Aminimiga. I had to set the Workbench to not be ...

Re: Aminimiga for MiSTer

For anyone reading this later, I've solved this for now by switching ScreenMode from PAL to Mister 640x480x16. This seems to be the only setting that has the screen elements fit the screen without going over and without becoming too small.

Re: Aminimiga for MiSTer

Thanks again everyone. I got the v204 version running. Is there some trick for keeping the screen where I want it? MiSTer is set to PAL, Amiga ScreenMode is set to PAL:High Res. The top of the Workbench is off the screen; I can pull menus down but can't see the menu text itself. In OSD I can go to Audio & Video and "Adjust Screen Position&...

Aminimiga for MiSTer

Is there anywhere to get a previous release of Aminimiga for MiSTer? The official download page has removed the links in favor of a 'coming soon' message for the next version.

Atari ST core doesn't always launch

My Atari ST core is working less and less frequently. I have my settings and TOS file in place, and the core usually launches. If it doesn't, then an ODS Cold Boot usually does the trick and gets me past the black screen. If Cold Boot doesn't work, then ODS Reset will work and get me to GEMDOS. Today it's not working at all, no matter what I do and...

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

For my latest attempt I made a copy of the Workbench 3.X from the Systems Playlist in Amiga Forever. I then edited this new copy and removed the DHO built in disk named System and made my WB3X disk hd0 with boot priority 0. It boots up, and there's no System disk on the workbench. The WB3X disk is there instead, although it does not have a boing ba...

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

In the Media tab it's listed as Yes(0) under Bootable, while the original 3X System volume is marked as Yes(127) under Bootable. I'm doing all this through the Edit function in Amiga Forever since I originally didn't have access to the plugin until I added it to the Tools menu recently. When I go through the plugin there's only one "Default UA...

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

I got the Tools menu to show the plugin by going into Tools/Options, thanks. When I set the new .hdf as Pri. Master Fixed/HDD in MiSTer config, is that the same as setting it to hd0? If so, that's where I'm getting the "Not a DOS disk" when it tries to boot. When I built the hdf I made sure to Show All from the System volume and copied ev...

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

The easiest way to move that 3.x workbench installation is to: Start the WinUAE plugin in Amiga Forever Load the configuration for Workbench 3.x Create an empty 3GB hdf and mount it as hd1 Boot that 3.x workbench and format your hd1 Show hidden files in your System drive (hd0) Select and copy all files to your hd1 drive Shutdown your amiga emulate...

Re: Atari 5200 - What controllers do you use?

Normal controllers and a keyboard, but given most atari 5200 games do not really use the pad anyway you can play most of them with something like a gamepad or an arcade stick. How are you able to map controller buttons and a keyboard? Whenever I try to map 5200 buttons, it only takes input from the controller. I'd like to be able to map the keypad...

Right. That'll need to get "inserted" info volumes that MiSTer can see as hardfiles.

You can give it a go yourself or I'll take a swing at it next week, but it should be possible to replicate effectively 1:1.

It'd be great if you took a look; I've only had my MiSTer a few days and am still learning the basics.

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

The only clue I can find is this from the Readme inside Documents/Amiga Files: "The "dir" subdirectory contains directories that are mounted "as is" in the emulation, like the "System" and "Work" partitions of the Amiga OS 3.X environment. The "local" subdirectory contains the shared drive that...

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

I know about the 'odd' naming, it's because it's an amalgam of several different pieces all calling themselves 3.something. Alright - my first suspicion was that the encrypted Kickstart wasn't loading, but clearly that's not it. What is the exact behavior you get when you try? Thanks for helping me figure this out. I can't try the Workbench I want...

Re: Amiga Forever Installs

Has anyone succeeded getting Amiga Forever's Workbench 3.x working on MiSTer? I bought the Plus package and have it running in Windows, and I was able to find a 6 MB Workbench 3.1 disk I got running on the MiSTer, but what I'd really like to do is bring over the complete 3.x setup. Which Kickstart are you trying to use? I'm using amiga-os-310-a120...

Help needed with new MiSTer and Amiga core

I just got a pre-built MiSTer and the basics seem to be working. I can launch the cores it came with like Atari 5200. I'm trying to get Amiga working and downloaded MegaAGS 2023.04.05 and followed the instructions to install on my SD card (copying all files, modifying the MiSTer.ini with Amiga-specific parameters). When I power on the MiSTer I see ...
