Re: MiSTer Nuked-MD MegaDrive Core

MiSTer SNES core is also cycle accurate There's a HUGE difference between cycle counts and implementation/integration accuracy. The Amiga core is cycle accurate in 68000 mode, yet still has flaws in the custom chipset implementation. I'm not even sure why people continue calling out cycle accuracy in the Nuked core...pretty sure the older core was...

Could someone link the old RBF? The update nuked it and it's gone from the repos, I just want to do some A/B.

Huh, this core replaced the old one already? That is odd. I wonder if it has all of the original options already.

Re: MiSTer Nuked-MD MegaDrive Core

Original schematics of chips are often not available. One option is to open up a chip (which is a tricky and specialized job), then photograph it using a microscope and painstakingly translate it to the FPGA by hand. I imagine the last part could theoretically be sped up by using AI at some point in the future. One problem with this method is that ...

Re: Let’s Make Amiga CD32 Support Happen (Update: It Works!)

I made a few attempts to add CDDA earlier this year. The IDE implementation in MiSTer is a bit different from MiST. I converted some of the MiST chips to MiSTer format, but due to time constraints, wasnt able to finish it off. Im not sure if the chip conversion is the correct way, or simply instead to add the CDDA parts from MiST into the MiSTer c...

Does it work on MiSTer wirelessly via both Bluetooth and 2.4ghz or just 2.4ghz (with the dongle)?

I've just tried it and it works perfectly via Bluetooth as well.

Which retailer did you buy it from in Netherlands?

I bought it at Nedgame.

Re: 5x Vertical Crop & Video Filters Showing on CRT - Damaged DE10? [Solved]

AFAIK cropping settings should not affect analog output. However it is up to the developer of the core to add this functionality, so it might happen with some cores.

Re: Strange Ghosting on LG C2 OLED

Do you have a motion smoothing option enabled on your TV? I'm not really expecting that to cause that effect, but you never know.

Another thing I was thinking of, is incorrect de-interlacing order, caused by PAL/NTSC field order differences, but it doesn't look like that.
