MiSTer FPGA Forum

@aperfectcirclefan I'm particularly interested in knowing how it handles scaling of non-native resolutions like 720p and 1080p upscaled to 1200 (even more specifically with fake scanlines a la Retroarch scalers, the SNES mini and the like, where I expect distortion to be at its worst). From all accounts unscaled native resolutions look fantastic - ...

Yes.

venice wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 2:54 pm The use of „ttyuseack=yes“ is fully working?

Yes.

Invariably, this kind of problem requires reflow of the MiSTer I/O board pin connections.

Pressing "Y" not "B" when connecting the 8bitdo Pro wired joypad is the key! The rumble feature is verified working in Metal Gear Solid in the Options section. That's a good way of checking. Is yours doing what mine is on that test and vibrating once but not continuously? That's not right. Yes, it vibrates once in either high o...

To anyone with the Asus ProArt PA248QV: How does it handle 720p and 1080p content? It's clearly near-ideal for MiSTer, but I use my gaming display for other systems as well (RetroPie, classic mini consoles, etc.) that display fake scanlines at 720p and 1080p native resolutions. This works out fine on 1080p (being either a multiplier of 1.5 or 1.0),...

Is your display working normal with the tty2oled daemon script? Yes. Which Hardware do you use (MCU/USB Serial Chip)? How do I tell? It's the one sold here: https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/product/tty2oled/ Do you use the tty2oled mode with „ttyuseack=yes“? Yes, otherwise I get the corruption I described (double-printed text in the center) Six...

L3+R3+Up (in-game, not at the boot screen).

Does anyone have:

the Myarc-FDC-80Track DSR (crc32 7BF4862B) provides access to 3.5" Floppy Images

^ this as mentioned here:

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/TI-99_4A_MiSTer

handy?

The screen corruption with ACKs off isn't just timing issues. When you have the display show game titles, it does interesting things like paint the title name twice, once in the center of the display and again at the top.

Could it be related to cable length? My USB cable to the LCD board is a good six feet.

The Spanish one, but I have just tried with the US one (the one from Redump that is NOT marked "Rev 1") and it worked all the same. I saved to memory card after the garage test, then saved the memory cards to SD, then reloaded the core and the game and selected "Load" and the saved game. I could continue with the bank robbery m...

Run the Ultimate tool (on Windows) and crank the vibration all the way up to 5 bars. It's still VERY weak, but improved over default.

No, but some of the same people were involved.

@Dacaskos It definitely does not, because the game, well, doesn't. It's flight stick only (which is a very different animal from any version of Analog pad or Dualshock).

There is at least another game which has known Memory Card saving issues , so looks like there's still some inaccuracies causing issues there. If this is 100% reproducible, then please create an issue on Github! In the process of being VERY pedantic about documenting the issue on github, it actually saved. It appears to be something with the game ...

(following up on my own reply) May have found a bug - "Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1" simply will not autocreate a memory card, autoload one, or manual or autosave one, period. The green User/Save light comes on via the I/O board when the game tries to first save (upon launching one of the arcade games) and goes out when...

AtomicShroom wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 1:00 pm By default the core automatically creates and mounts a new empty memory card for every game, and the uses that memory card subsequently. Did you try mounting it manually in the OSD while the game is running?

It does? Where? I can't get it to even save to a memory card I've mounted manually.

Where is it creating these empty memory cards?

Sorry for such a basic question, but is tty2oled supposed to do anything outside of SAM? I was expecting that it might change the display to reflect the active core when actually playing games, for example, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Ignore - just updated restarted and voila, it's doing exactly that! =)

In most games DualShock controller starts in digital mode for compatibility reasons due to many early games being completely incompatible with the analog mode. You have to switch to analog manually with a button combo (L3+R3+up or L1+L2+R1+R2+up depending on core settings). Duly noted - but shouldn't Analog controllers disable vibration entirely, ...

A bit confused about DualShock vs. Analog settings - in Gran Turismo, analog driving controls are only available in Analog mode (NOT DualShock!)...but vibration still works (if enabled). With the setting of DualShock, vibration works, but no analog control. Am I missing something obvious? My expectation was that DualShock would be analog+vibration ...

I'm assuming this is for compatibility reasons, but any chance you can expand on what titles work better with the later firmware than the original versions?

OK - on a similar clone I have, it actually radically changes the input mappings, it doesn't just "turn on analog". Still not sure what the purpose is (or how it can be made to work usefully on MiSTer, if at all).

What function does the Analog button have on these?

Does the CD-ROM BIOS skip (with 'regular', unmodified BIOS) no longer work? It did for a little bit, but now PC Engine CD BIOS doesn't seem to be auto-bypassing anymore.

@seastalker The OG PS1 controller wasn't DualShock and in fact had no analog at all. It was followed a few years later by a flight controller (yep!), then an analog controller (imagine the DualShock without motors), and finally the DualShock, which more or less became the gold standard design ever since.

I'm looking to be as authentic as possible. That being said... - Is there a USB adapter for the SCPH-1200 where the analog, rumble and analog/digital switching functionality works as expected from the controller? - If not, will SNAC provide this? - If neither of the above are true, does the DS3 (as close as you can get to authentic with USB, I thin...

Literally just got my TTY2OLED today, and SUPER excited about getting it working with SAM...one obvious question is how do I keep my art up-to-date with all the amazing work in this thread?

This core has had some nice updates this year, for those that may have missed it. The keyboard is working properly again, and SE mode has been brought across from MiST too. This is interesting...pragmatically, from an emulation point of view, what does the SE bring to the table? I read up on the specs/improvements over the Mac Plus and very few se...

OK...I do, sort of. My NES folder has three files:

boot0.rom
NES.zip
FDS.zip

I think you can guess what each contains. LOL

NES works with SAM, FDS doesn't (but does if launched manually via menu, of course).

qq re: fds - since there's no dedicated FDS core, how does that work/get triggered? (Another way to put it - where do the .fds files need to be, and can they be in a self-contained ZIP?)
