What's the value you have it set to?

hum. I see the glitch now too. I swear it was not there before. (in any case - 8MB fastram should be more than enough)

I fiddled a bit, trying to see if Turbo Outrun would load at all, used the manual for the Outrun upgrade kit as a reference (https://arcarc.xmission.com/PDF_Arcade_Manuals_and_Schematics/Outrun%20Turbo%20Supplement.pdf) The game boots, but does not load the graphics set. I assume this is because the jumpers are not set as instructed in the manual. ...

One of my all-time favourites too. Thanks!

Cartridge in .stc format is supported

I have had numerous glitches with a lot of games in the WHDLoad collection on my Amiga1200. Dogs of War is one of them. It's just the way it is, there are so many hardware combinations possible, you are bound to strike a condition triggering a bug or glitch all the time.

This looks awesome but I guess people who don't already have an LS-30 are SOL, Seimitsu doesn't appear to make them anymore and the last ones on ebay went for $500 for a set of 2 untested ones. Doesn't look like the one from Happ is easily available either. Am I happy I bought my set for 120 euro not that long ago. And they came with an arcade cab...

Last time I ran the script was yesterday. I just ran it again to see if it would download the core and it did: No changes: _Arcade/Penguin-Kun_Wars.mra No changes: _Arcade/Penguin-Kun_Wars_Japan.mra Downloading 1 files: _Arcade/cores/PenguinKunWars_20221002.rbf Must be some gremlin.

Just noticed that joystick support was added. Thanks!!

I like how the book is under an open source license.

It currently doesn't have joystick support. Unlike most other systems of that era, they didn't have dedicated Joystick ports but instead used the parallel port to attach two analog controllers, each with a keypad. Was there much software for it that supported joysticks? I just can't seem to find information on what games supported joysticks. Every...

I could not get a joystick to work btw, but I assume the problem is with me

This core allowed me to load in my msx tapes. I am very impressed with the work done so far. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I figured out my issue. I had to Edit the MISTer.ini file and change this Setting: vsync_adjust=2 by default this is set to zero which has the most lag and 2 is the best Setting if your display supports it. I changed this Setting and played a game and scored over 500K and only Lost due to my own mistakes. EVERYTHING worked just lik...

Great looking setup :) Thnx :) Ahh I see , it's impressive what these old monitors were capable of (I did'nt know about passthrough) that makes sense. I'm sure i've seen a big HD flat screen type monitor running next to a PVM though. Although thinking about it i;m guessing there would be a RGB - HD lead? (or possibly the HD monitor may even have h...

I have one of these as well. But with no software around, I never really used it. I will definitely revisit this machine now with the core available. Many thanks!

You can use only one kind of output signal at the same time. So it's either HDMI, or VGA, or RGBs. If you want to use both your pvm's, all you have to do is use the r/g/b+sync outputs on your 14" one and connect those to the 9" monitor. These pvm's do passthrough.

You need this cable:

r/g/b go to their respective inputs on your pvm. hsync goes to ext sync in.

You can also use a vga-component cable of course, and then toggle the small SoG (sync-on-green) switch on your MiSTer board.

Somehow the keyboard does not seem to work for inputs. Mapping from within the core works fine, and keypresses are registered, but after mapping in-game keypresses don't do anything. (5 and 1 for coin/start for instance). Do others see the same behaviour?

rsync is the best way really. Just don't use compression (-z) , that will significantly impact the transfer speed.

It's in here. https://github.com/atrac17/Arcade_Offset As stated a few times earlier in this thread.

I was looking over this yesterday. I have not tried it yet. I was wondering how it would connect a CD drive to the Turbo Chameleon 64 that this core was developed for. But I had not considered that the TC64 Minimig core had not gotten any kind of CD support yet, so this is digital CD image support I think, with CDDA support. Connecting a physical ...

The flickering is an interlacing effect, to simulate transparency with other 'layers' in the game. It's a relatively cheap effect which works well on crt monitors, less on lcd screens. Flickerblend would get rid of those transparency effects as well.

Delay accounting is not cheap, which is the main reason why it was disabled in the kernel I assume.

Yes, in rotated monitors scanlines should be vertical. But there is a catch somewhat: scanlines are not that visible really on an arcade monitor

Nope, unless you build the converter yourself and reprogram the outputs using pwm. Technically possible, but since nobody did it so far, chances are that it did not really work out in the end.

Out of interest: is there any input latency with the JammaASD board?

So possibly the Mister-X core is wrong? https://www.retrorgb.com/misterfpga-sega-system-1-2-core-expansion-by-developer-blackwine.html It certainly seems that way according to that article. A few of Jotego’s core’s also have borders either side of the screen on CRT’s (Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2, Robocop, Bad Dudes). Makes me wonder if the timi...
