MiSTer FPGA Forum

Thank for the response guys,but I really don't want to use SFTP because it takes twice as long (in my setup). From my limited understanding everything is bound to "root" in the MiSTer and this goes for the sdcard "/media/fat" too.Its not possible to chown files/folders because of ExFat: /media/fat# chown ftp:ftp my_folder chown:...

All I wanted to do was copy large files and not use SFTP because its slow. Forgetting that FTP is ancient, I forgot to switch to passive mode, so my firewall was blocking the ftp-server's attempt to setup a connection. Pffft... After switching to passive mode I could login anonymously, but ended up in /home/ftp with read access only. Or login with ...

Didn't someone started a hybrid for the Amiga, could something like that be done for AO486?
eg: porting DOSBOX and offload graphics,sound or other parts to the FPGA? or something like that.

I got confused by this post: "Well the partition is mounted with sync, so it should write to disk asap like @Malor pointed out. I have seen no ill effects yet since it has been disabled (before my last visit here, so a couple of months) but YMMV." I did not realize the disabling was referring to the script. Yes I proposed disabling the /...

USB external drive also overlays the SD card with the updaters, the same as in the firmware.

Does it use bind mount ? because that is a far better option than I initially suggested, and would negate my deprecation request/suggestion entirely.

I'm not sure what you really want to do. If you want to browse for a game instantly after selecting the PSX core...no that's not possible, as the video out is not stable and you would not see anything. Also, the HPS/Linux part doesn't yet know what type of files it should even search for. But i'm wondering how long that takes for you. Core load sh...

Maybe its just me but I'd rather have my roms on a SSD.

@jca
Yeah and no, so I'll gather my thoughts and do some more investigation before I say something stupid

Good catch on the reset, although I think that is a problem either way. It could still be syncing when the button is pressed.

It still leaves the scripting argument.
And how do we measure sd-card writes?

Yeah, I thought so too.

Malor wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 11:08 am The /media/fat directory is already mounted sync, so the 5-second sync script probably isn't doing much of anything.

I disabled it on my setup, at least the green light stops flashing so frequently.

How's this coming along?

Righto.com? That word "righto" always reminds of this one : https://youtu.be/watch?v=SjS4Y82yw8Y

Can someone point me to the unstable update script for this core?

Thank you.

This might be a very spoiled request and not even doable but: Is it possible to select a game before loading the core? I find myself often waiting on the core and then browsing through the library. I figured that it could load while selecting a game. I'm well aware this could be a chicken&egg problem however I thought it might not hurt to put i...

I find "/media/fat" to be a problem when data resides elsewhere. Should we start using a symlink "/media/MiSTer" to point to the actual data folder? Benefits: path independent scripts that work on sdcard and usb easily switch from sdcard to usb storage by updating the symlink drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Jan 1 1970 cifs drwxr-xr-x ...

Wow, this has been a while I hope everyone is doing OK :D I finally have some spare time to play around with the MiSTer again, yay! The MiSTer linux image has a sync script that syncs every 5s which in my uninformed opinion is hazardous to every SD-card. So I started a search and found that embedded devices (where power can be cut off at any time l...

Did it work out ?

YEAH!, you were right, I had some boot roms laying around in the BIOS/SNES folder.

Thank you so much

For example, I have done this: mount --bind /media/fat/opt /opt To be able to install Entware generic armv7 binaries. I don't recommend you do this unless you understand Linux well enough, but installing Entware stuff gives you a package manager (opkg) allowing you to install many standard tools. I've installed GCC, mosh-server (nice SSH alternati...

This is probably an easy one, but its driving me nuts.
When I load the snes core it boots into a game, unfortunately not the one I want to play.

Where can I change or disable this?

Thanks

Quick question: can MiSTerFS from ao486 be easily ported to PCXT ?

According to wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer_XT Also known as IBM XT, PC/XT, XT Type Personal computer Release date March 8, 1983; 39 years ago Discontinued April 1987 Operating system IBM BASIC / PC DOS 2.0-3.20 / PC/IX / SCO Xenix / Minix CPU Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz Memory 128–640 KB RAM Storage 10–20 MB hard drive Graphic...

Mine came in today, and I can confirm that it does what it should.
My CEC-issues with other HDMI devices are no more

Because its not a diode and the current goes both ways iirc ..

Wallpaper's really taste-dependent, everyone's varies. Wallpaper suitability also varies by the resolution a person runs their MiSTer at, and can take significant storage space if nice clean PNGs are used. That said, the MiSTer's built-in wallpaper choices are spartan to the extreme. Maybe a small (relatively neutral in content?) wallpaper starter...

I don't think so, just lots posted here to grab and use, some nice stuff posted through this thread. Too bad, I wish they would add them to update all. I mean it updates all right ;) EDIT: Extracted 111 wallpapers / 99MB from this thread and bundled them. I probably missed a few and there might be an avatar or two floating in there: MiSTer Wallpap...
