MiSTer FPGA Forum

Lesson learned: the pause function appears to be good for a momentary break only. Anything longer than that and it will reset the game! I was on a decent run too... So far this reminds me of a mix of Pac-Man (same year), Lock 'N' Chase (the year after), and Frogger (the year after). I'm not terribly good at it yet, but I'm going to try to get past...

I'll second Mappy.

I agree. Could we have "Arcade" as one core? Or rotate between weeks like Hetzen said.

You only have so many magic points that allow you to teleport randomly in the maze by pressing fire when you're cornered.

That's pretty much where I usually run out of lives. My last score was 4700-something.

Same sort of feeling here! In my case I have been struggling with the controls as this is supposed to be played with a 4-way joystick and I have got 8-way joysticks on my cab. I know I can use the restrictor but I am too lazy :mrgreen: As soon as I get a decent score I will post it here But as @charmless said I don't think I will be playing it a l...

Man, bank robbery is rough. I've played this game for a couple of hours now and I'm still trying to get a grip of how the guards are behaving and when that stupid dog will stop running. My High Score is around 4000 which is probably the same as the amount of words my kids had to ask me what they meant that I've shouted at my monitor. It seems like ...

Awesome! Never played the game before but I am excited to try it out.

My three picks are:

280-ZZZAP

Blue Shark

Lupin III

Have not played them before and want to try something new

So is the idea to randomize a core, then get suggestions to vote on? Of course the arcade cores will be what they are, but consoles and computers will need extra suggestions. Pretty much. I guess we still have to establish some ground rules. But maybe have 2 suggestions each per core and then vote on or randomly pick one of the suggestions and sta...

Yeah, it only works if you're signed in as the account I created for this right now. I'm glad I sourced another set of eyes on that list because you correctly pointed out that there were no Capcom cores, and then in researching that I realized that I hadn't included any of Jotego's public cores. They were not listed on the wiki, and his own docume...

That works for me! Here's a public link to the core list and randomizer "button" (now Pac-Man): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/180EXmHxQ9qT92Wmgu76kOX0O78pbgejeTzemS7TO9E8/edit?usp=sharing It's open for commenting (but not editing), so please leave a note if you see something that needs improving with the list or otherwise. The s...

Since we talked about it beeing a sort of book club for games why not call it "MiSTer Community Game Club". But I'm fine with whatever.

So I think we should move forward. There seems to be enough interest to get going at least. Here's my proposal (keeping in mind everything is malleable): We select either a core or a specific criteria/theme at random Once selected, we then nominate games with that nomination only needing to be seconded by another user to add it to the list From th...

I was mostly a computer gamer, and won't have good suggestions for Mister-playable titles. Maybe we should split consoles from computers? I'd be happy to suggest some computer games to try (which I've been meaning to get into myself). Well, we're already dealing with probable low audience level, so splitting even further might exacerbate the issue...

System of the month or even maybe genre of the month sounds good to me. Some computer cores need some fiddling too, so discussing how to get them to run can be useful. Recently I've been revisiting the Amiga library, there are some interesting adventure games there, but you have to ignore the lucasarts and sierra games to not drown them out fame-w...

Casual play and discussions sounds like the best choice to me. I'm 46 so compared to mine your reflexes are probably cat like. But I'm up for some light hearted highscore chasing or "let's try our best to beat this game" as well.

A randomizer sounds like a good idea.

Sounds like fun. Go for it!

Awesome stuff! Have played Rod Land on the Amiga to death but haven't really tried the Arcade version. Super excited.

You need three bios files to run US, Jap and PAL games.

boot.rom => US BIOS
boot1.rom => JP BIOS
boot2.rom => EU BIOS

Not witchcraft!
Sorgelig and the other FPGA "developers" are aliens that have created the MiSTer as a weapon to take over and enslave earth without any bloodshed (except on forums/social media off course ).

Sorry, you are of course right.

This is just awesome! I started using MiSTer a few years ago and watching how much it's evolved since then, feels like witchcraft. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

Looks great! Will try it out first thing tonight. And, Happy Birthday!

Hi! Is there no Flickerblend option in the Neo Geo Core? The Monitor I use with Mister is really sensetive to static flickering (the Life Bar in Samurai Shodown IV for example). I might just be missing it. If there are none. Are there other options to mitigate this problem? Maybe by using a different filter. All the help/guidance I can get is much ...

Awesome stuff! After looking at the games he wants to work on down the road I joined the Patreon immediately. But to be honest, just getting Nemesis on the MiSTer is reason enough.

I agree with everything already stated. For me it's mainly ease of use and the awesome range of systems that are now available to us. I was for a long time way down the rabbit hole of trying to get the perfect image and sound out of old consoles and computers. Sometimes I had fun searching for the perfect cable, great looking CRTs or the best optio...

I have the Asus ProArt PA278QV that seems to accept everything I throw at it. It rotates in both directions which is nice. I've only had it for a month so I have not had the chance to test everything. So far, so good.

DiamondDave wrote: ↑Sun Jul 25, 2021 1:12 pm Anyone else having an audio issue with KQV?

When booting the game and selecting option 1 (SB16 audio), there is no sound on the Sierra startup logo and no dialogue in-game. The background music is present but nothing else.

Same here.

Love this pack. Awsome stuff! Jones in the fast lane keeps crashing on me (soundcard issue. soundblaster). Everything else I've tried works like a charm. Thank you!

Thank you for all the fantastic work you do!
