MiSTer FPGA Forum

Great video from flynnsbit about mt32-pi and MiSTer integration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEyNDPc2Bug

Is there a primary ASCAL repository? I tried looking on temlib.org, but did not find it.

That seems possible. See this example: viewtopic.php?p=8182#p8182

Edit: Same problem with NES core except scandoubler has no effect. I retested scandoubler on SNES core and it does have effect and i think it is because with scandoubler disabled it outputs 512x224 and with scandoubler enabled it outputs 256x448. The difference in horizontal resolution surely has some effect on the scaler. But shouldn't the core o...

Its normal, that's interpolation between the black letter and blue sky because you aren't running an integer scale on the horizontal axis. But that also happens when i'm using custom 512 or 1024 pixel wide video modes (with vscale_mode=1). This is what confuses me. If that is still correct, then everything is ok and i just need to use the the no i...

I looked for H2testw source code, but did not find it. I did find another tool on github: https://github.com/dkrahmer/MediaTester

I have been manually verifying cards (fill with known data, verify file hashes), but this could save some time.

Per the post: "Only the first 32MiB of memory are tested."

According to this thread, it looks like if you can plug in another keyboard with the key to map at the same time as the keyboard without it, you could map the key.

If you bought the ram addon from a seller, try reaching out to them.

If you are having issues with 48mhz sdram, it could be because of that update.

As asked, no. If you are OK with working with different output resolutions, you could switch video_mode to be a mode too small to be scaled more than 1x. Related to that, is if you want the x-axis to not be scaled, you would likely need to use the custom aspect ratio feature, on cores that support it anyway. Normally, the x-axis would be scaled to ...

Is this the Scandoubler FX setting?

Some things I found out trying to diagnose the "repeated input" and "no input" issues: When I had the 1ms (1000hz) polling, unplugging/replugging the USB receivers would fix the issue, sometimes requiring unplugging/replugging multiple times. Attempting to reset USB devices via software did not help. I tried this python script: ...

Try these.

From what I understand, any time the resolution in either the x-axis or the y-axis is not an integer scale, you can get shimmering in the respective axis. The integer scale setting in mister is only guaranteed for the y-axis, and the x-axis is scaled according to the aspect ratio, which may or may not result in an integer scale. My understanding is...

The 64:49 aspect ratio at 448p will give you 585x448.

If you are trying to find out which files you need for a specific arcade game, you can look at the mra file in a text editor. There is a rom entry with names of zip files that will be searched, and part entries with the names of the individual rom files in the zip files. The main mister "alternatives" mra collection appear to include both...

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Is there anywhere on the Wiki where I can read what is the meaning of hfp/hbp/vfp/vbp? Cant seem to find it, and I dont know exactly what to use here. Cheers, hfp=horizontal front porch hbp=horizontal back porch vfp=vertical front porch vbp=vertical back porch The front/back descriptor appears to be in relat...

Interesting, can you or anyone else help me convert this to a mister videomode?: Modeline "1920x240@60" 31.96 1920 1952 2072 2104 240 245 248 253 -HSync -VSync This site has a modeline parser: https://www.epanorama.net/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html Paste the modeline into the textbox in §1 and click the import button.

May be doable when the OSD is shown, probably not from an in-game pause. Otherwise, in general, not sure how you would distinguish between, say, a pause screen, and a long running cutscene. I personally switch inputs to my roku, which has a screensaver, if I have to pause for a few minutes. I do get temporary retention from some games from regular ...

My picture gets distorted at the top in 512 and 320 is a bit too low for my liking. The default resolution you get when not using the vga scaler looks great but I would love to have background images. You could try something a bit different with an "ultra-wide" resolution. I have heard of doing this from people using raspberry pi for som...

If you are using the scaler, you may be able to adjust the hfp/hbp/vfp/vbp video_mode values to center the image. Some discussions on the concept, although for different products/platforms: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8673/how-to-center-image-of-retroarch-with-pi-outputing-240p-rgb-via-hat-board-gert-666-to-pvm https://shmups.system11.org/v...

Could this possibly be accomplished in a similar way that the arcade cores load specific modes when you start an .mra file? You can set specific settings per game for arcade roms as the core reads the settings bqsed on rom name. Maybe this could ve done in a similar way to load settings for SMS and GG separately? I like that idea. Perhaps if we co...

I have a monitor which has 1600 x 900 resolution, but I cannot find MiSTer settings for this anywhere. Does anyone have them please? I found a site , that will parse the timings from a Xorg modeline. I found several (varying) modelines when running an internet search for modeline 1600x900. You could try some of those and plug the numbers into the ...
