I do have a real n64 with everdrive and no expansion, but Nintendo did very bad for pal version and video output is crappy on modern tv. S-video fixes it a bit, but not as a real crt.

Mine has a sad story: we played a lot with it and goldeneye with a friend who died by cancer. So for me it's like remembering such afternoons.

jordi

There's a mess with mame. Looks like you are using old/incomplete dumps for such games.

jordi

It's not a fair comparison though; the PSX version was optimized for the hardware and used a GPU, which does not exist in ao486. Not sure if a 3dfx voodoo 1 would work with a 486, but it would be hard to write and fit in the current core. Yeah a 3D card would help, but I do remember that with the original Quake game, I played that on my Pentium Pr...

jordi

Wow !
one of the exciting but not successful consoles

It has these unique ports like NFS, Wolfstein, Road Rash, Another world.

jordi

My understanding is that the ao486 core uses most of the resources of the FPGA so there is not much room for implementing anything else. (I'm not sure how many resources are required but I think Jotego's OPL is smaller than some of the others?) After researching and talking to some of the core developers, I thought an alternate solution would be u...

jordi

I don't have the knowledge or skills to modify the FPGA core but I'm not sure if there are enough GPIO pins available. Here is the OPL2/OPL3 LPT pinout: 1: A0 -> /Strobe CTRL-0 2: D0 <-> Data0 3: D1 <-> Data1 4: D2 <-> Data2 5: D3 <-> Data3 6: D4 <-> Data4 7: D5 <-> Data5 8: D6 <-> Data6 9: D7 <-> Data7 16: /WR -> Init CTRL-2 17: A1 -> /Select CTR...

jordi

I've been pushing for better OPL2 or OPL3 support as well. I'd love to see a hybrid solution (ie. Nuked OPL running on the ARM core) or external OPL2/OPL3 chips (ie. Retrowave OPL3 via USB, or OPL2/OPL3LPT via LPT but this might require too many GPIO pins?) I'm not sure how many GPIO pins are available, but connecting something like the OPL2/OPL3L...

jordi

Disappointing, but fair enough. Was my dream to integrate a hardware-based OPL3 into my music studio, taking advantages of all perks of MiSTer like shared folders, SMB, USB MIDI etc. There is the "RetroWave OPL3" project however! It's similar to the MT32-pi, houses an authentic OPL3 chip on-board and plugs into a PC through USB. https://...

What is the thinking behind him putting all his cores in the one github repo? I thought the general thought for larger projects is you don't do that. Going to make checking and logging issues messy.

Does anybody know what config/autoexec settings I should use to get MyMenu going on this core? The one I have on an old hdd from flynnsbit hangs when "swapping". I also thought about using the Simple Dos Launcher posted above, but I think there might be a problem because it seems you need to choose the right startup file per game during ...

I noticed when playing Rainbow Islands that the music slows down when the screen gets busy. Is that normal for a 128k Spectrum? And if not, how do I adjust the settings so it's right?

I don't remember about this game.

Did it had AY music or beeper music?

jordi

there may be software that uses both cards simultaneously, and in the absence of two monitors This reminded me of the GB2P and GBA2P cores: https://www.retrorgb.com/2-player-gb-gbc-gba-custom-cores-for-mister.html These cores have a feature where the HDMI and VGA video output of the MiSTer can show different screens. Mabye some code can be reused ...

Amazing, thanks, look forward to trying this out. Anyone know of a good list of games that support Hercules?

Mobygames is not allowing filter right now

But there you have a list of games in the thread

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=61035

A vídeo with it

It could be useful for games like 4ds stunts, and some tandy games that required powerful cpu.

jordi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_SN76489 No, wait, this doesn't mention Mac. I'm pretty sure Mac never had a sound chip like the Atari ST has a sound chip. That it only had D-A and software mixing. Are you sure sounds are really missing? You have a game that plays a sound on other Mac+ software emulators that are silent in Mister? I...

My schematics for a Mac Plus doesn't show any kind of real sound chip.....

https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads ... und.41778/

It is mentioned here with schematics

jordi

Oh, wait, you're right. SE/30 is 68030, which Mister is not, for sure. I don't know about verilog, but I asked for help some days ago It looks that Mac core doesn't have an implementation of this chip that mac plus has. But colecovision chip does it! https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ColecoVision_MiSTer/blob/master/rtl/sn76489_audio.vhd So (from my ...

Seriously no one notices the missing audio chips?

Hmm, I've been playing "The Oregon Train" and it has been kind of quiet. I did make it all the way to Oregon, so no stability issues that I can see. I'm using System 7.5.5

Yep, lode runner is very noticeable. e.g. It's missing all the lasers sound

The Linux kernel read the device info from the device and (I'm not 100% sure) it looks like it's being supported as an Xbox 360 pad (unless you had one of those connected too).

Did you try it?

Thanks for your reply!
I did connected also a xb360 pad, so it's normal it's recognized.

Not sure if atrac17 could give some light over this?

jordi

You should ensure you are not running preset at unstable speed option.
Could you reset configuration and try again?

You should then share a screenshot of actual values so the core author is more aware of why and when happened

jordi

Did you noticed this game?
It's funny how the Genesis was capable of games like this one or final fight

viewtopic.php?t=5813

But it is not even clear how to use it

So far not so good. First I installed the mouse which can be useful for games. As I use MD-DOS I started with Mouse.com which seems to work. Next I tried to load it high, LH did not say anything but did not load it high. It tried LH /S with the same result. Next I tried CTMOUSE from the repo, starting EDIT crashes PCXT with a black screen. This ve...

So far I have been playing with BIOSes, OSes, HD images and FD images. Now is time to play with something else, games for example.
I am looking for recommendations for a few good games using the Tandy video mode, along with setup information if needed. Thanks.

The best is Simpsons, also TMNT, California games, Batman, Castlevania

Does it mean that my 'Guillemot Force Feedback racing wheel' is directly supported?
