Thanks for the reply, is there something special about the placement? I tried this but it didnt seem to work; ; use specific (VID/PID) mouse X movement as a spinner and paddle. Use VID=0xFFFF/PID=0xFFFF to use all mice as spinners. ;spinner_vid=0x1BCF ;spinner_pid=0x0005 [arkanoid] spinner_axis=2 spinner_vid=0x0ae4 spinner_pid=0x0701 spinner_throt...

Nope. Within the core you can skip every button you want, even the first to the right. Just press the menu button you assigned in the main OSD to skip any prompt. see video attached. Please check on your own mister what you claim before you answer here again. Thanks Thanks. This is useful information. I do not think it is necessary to be so harsh ...

I guess that the old 32MB SDRAM expansion will be sufficient for CD games, right?

I do not think that ultimatemister sell button spacers. The case that I bought from them does not use such spacers. Instead it has a separate set of buttons on the top plate that are connected to the 5 pin header on the io board.

Have you considered manually trimming the height of the spacers that you have?

It is perhaps not exactly what you want, but you could use "setname" to give each region its own configuration files and game folder. For example: <mistergamedescription> <rbf>_Console/NES</rbf> <setname>NESPAL</setname> <file delay="1" type="f" index="0" path="Elite (Europe) (En,Fr,De).nes"/> </mis...

I was actually referring to mapping within a core, not MiSTer main. The very first command (usually right) can't be skipped, so you need to press one of the five buttons on the controller to proceed. Once you have done that, further commands (directions, etc.) can be skipped, but the button that was pressed initially can't be assigned to anything ...

I can confirm as well. I suggest that you file a bug report: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/TurboGr ... Ter/issues.

I wanted to use the rollerball as a mouse in the SNES core. The rollerball itself works out of the box if mouse input is enabled in the core menu. The issue is mapping the mouse buttons. I found a workaround by using the mouse emulation feature: In the main menu, go to define joystick buttons Press one of the small buttons as Right in the DPAD test...

Does one need to keep one of the 5 buttons mapped to "Right" or could one erase the mapping as lamarax seems to suggest?

After identifying the device by assigning Right, you press F12 instead of assigning Left. Then you get back to start and can undefine Right. Obviously

Yes, from the readme:

For CD-ROM game all cheats must be zipped into a single zip file and placed inside game's CD-ROM folder.

A common mistake when initializing the controller setup in the menu, is using a different controller or the keyboard to define buttons. Once you go in the setup screen, just push one of the Taito mini buttons to let MiSTer know of the vid:pid id of the particular controller; then erase it and skip functions according with what's available. Push an...

There is only one developer who has implemented savestates, and he is busy with a new core. So it will likely not be added to the Genesis core in the near future. With regard to saving backup RAM, just set autosave to "On". The saved data will then be written to the SD card each time you open the OSD. Of course, it is only of use to games...

Arcade cores are loaded through MRA files which can be downloaded at the same place as the RBF files. In names.txt, you then use the name of the MRA file instead of the RBF file.

This line here is curious "I can tell you it's using different width for different subsystems :)" - does he mean that the core covers different systems (i.e. how the Master System core also covers Game Gear) or is this a technical thing I don't understand? Look at a PC; they call Pentium a 64-bit system, it is, but they also have 8-bit c...

My first thoughts were directed towards 3DO or Virtual Boy. However, based on the clues that he has given on his Patreon page (including a screenshot), my bet is now on a different beast. With this in place, I'm now able to try and run all kind of homebrew or original software. While most fully-fledged programs won't do anything yet, being able to ...

Mount the ATR or XEX file in the core menu. Then press F10 to boot. See https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Atari800_MiSTer#disks.

Some ideas for narrowing down the problem:

Is DVI mode enabled in the ini file?

Code: Select all

; set to 1 for DVI mode. Audio won't be transmitted through HDMI in DVI mode.
dvi_mode=1

Have you tried connecting another audio device such as head phones?
Have you tried using the Dell soundbar together with your main display (with DVI mode enabled)?

Have you tried the Mega Drive port of Speedball 2? It is supposed to be a good version.

As far as I understand, Turbo Tap was not the name of any controller but the adapter that allowed multiple controllers to be connected. I have therefore assumed that the Turbo Tap option in the core menu simply enables using multiple controllers.

It appears that our benevolent ruler has granted your wish: ini option to disable autofire
Unless he gets second thoughts, the new option should be available in the next MiSTer release. You will need to sacrifice the autofire feature though.

There are some cheat codes that I can share...

Sound Test
At the title screen, press I, II and Run.

Start with 100 000 power (10 lives)
At the title screen, press II, I and Select. You will hear a chime. Then press Run to start the game with some extra "power".

The sound is very similar to Circus Lido by the same publisher/developer Uni Post. I quite enjoyed the other game although it lacked some final polish.

Is there some good write-up on Uni Post and the history of this unreleased game?

Look at the following section in MiSTer.ini: ; These parameters have the same format as video_mode. ; You need to supply both PAL and NTSC modes if you want vsync_adjust to switch between ; predefined modes as a base. This will reduce the range of pixel clock. ;video_mode_ntsc=0 ;video_mode_pal=7 Uncomment and edit the last two lines. If you have a...

Regarding the function keys, there was a fix implemented in the Linux kernel a year ago that should enable them by default: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Linux-Kernel_MiSTer/pull/15 . Check that you are using the latest Linux built. Regarding Spanish keyboard layout, you can try remapping the relevant keys through the main menu as suggested here:...

Cheats for PC engine CD can be found here: https://gamehacking.org/system/pcd . Download the ones you want in MiSTer format and place the zip file inside the same folder as the game's CUE/BIN or CHD. Alternatively, you could use a script such as the official Downloader to fetch cheats for all systems. EDIT: Just read that you are not using MiSTer b...

Cheats for PSX games should be placed in the same folder as the CHD file. See how-to-use-cheats-with-cd-rom-images.

Also, check that data cache is off. See Cheats Not Working.

You will either need to remap the PSX buttons to not use the triggers or change the OSD combo to buttons that you would never press simultaneously during game play.Nevermind.

And did you set system type to PAL in the core menu?

yeah, I did. Do I have to also turn the auto-save function on each time I play and then enter the OSD before turning it off? I am not that familiar with the SNES core save functions I'm afraid. The auto save option will be permanent if you save the settings in the core menu. Thereafter, the only thing that you need to remember is to open the core ...
