MiSTer FPGA Forum

Hi, I can see you guys are working on a higher level, but, I’m trying to get the core working but I’m struggling with the boot.rom. I’m trying to follow this thread but it’s a fair few IQ points beyond me…. It seems like once upon a time the boot.rom I need to get this running was in the SW folder on github but it doesn’t appear to be there now. A...

Workaround I use for shared folder: Boot the NT in MS-DOS mode, run misterfs there, copy the files then reboot in NT mode afterwards.

MS-DOS client, ircjr from mTCP suite is working also fine, been able to connect to ##MiSTerFPGA channel without any issues

On Minimig, AmIRC 3.6.2 works as well, tested with MiamiDX.

PC-OS2W400.vhd - OS/2 Warp 4.0. I hope this is possible :) It is, see also these findings on OS/2 thread (https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?p=46068#p46068). I couldn't make SLIP/PPP to work no matter what, always throwing SYS3175 error. Modem connection works (tried Pmcomm and also Terminate 5.0) to connect to BBSes and such (https://www.youtub...

Wow, that was unexpected Thank you @eriks5 !

To my surprise, Panzer General 2 works better on NT Workstation 4.0 than on Windows 95/98 :shock: It will not be on full speed on some animations (we're still on our ao486 after all), but the sound is ok, does not get looped/garbled like on W98. Moving troops, attacking etc plays authentic enough, and overall, it makes an enjoyable experience. Savi...

Thank you for the new "toy" ! :D Tried SymbOS for a bit, works quite nice, no major issues (unless i opened quite too many windows lol) Short usage: mount the 256 megs VHD, then C+F9 After reset, type ":LOAD SYM" and hit Enter. Cursor is driven by controller, but you get used to it, same as on MSX core :) Small capture here : ht...

I made successful PPP connection :) I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I haven't been successful. :oops: When I click on Dial-Up Networking for the first time, it prompts me to install it. Maybe I'm missing a setting while installing and configuring Dial-Up Networking? I'll keep trying. :) When you first click on Dial-Up Networking, it will pr...

I made successful PPP connection :) *Sry, in the heat of the moment, posted it in guides and Videos thread, and this is just a rapid how-to, some steps (not important) i may skipped in the description below. After some refinement, I guess it can be merged with the proper install how-to thread How: After all finished to install as per @alexoughton's...

I made successful PPP connection :) How: After all finished to install as per @alexoughton's instructions, open My Computer and click on the Dial-Up Networking. As networking support is not yet installed, you will be prompted to provide the location of "rascfg" related files. Mount the Win NT 4.0 CD-ROM and navigate to /i386 folder. There...

So far I have been unable to boot anything, I always get "No valid state has been set by load or init-program". Before I give it a rest and finish my new MISTer setup I have a few question? What is the version and date displayed by OpenBios? At this time I have 1.1 from 4/30/2020. At one time during my experiments I think I saw 1.4 but I...

So I was never able to find the Tonton collection on the internet but I was able to finally find a collection that has every game in it's on .hdf format. Does anyone know if I can combine them into one file? Also, I assume I just start up the core, mount a .hdf file, and reset the core and I can play the game correct? Check Pezz82's YT video from ...

Small how-to (the way it worked for me) 1. First create the VHD file directly on MiSTer (either by F9 or SSHed on it) cd /media/fat/games/ao486/ dd if=/dev/zero of=<nameofvhd>.vhd status=progress bs=1M count=400 I made 400 Megs ones, no reason for me to make them larger, as they are for testing 2. Set L1 cache to OFF (rest of the settings should be...

And it does work in OS/2 Warp as well ! For this, I just copied the rodent.sys and the other mouse related files in the C:\OS2 folder and adjusted Config.sys as below screenshot:

Update: got mouse working on OS/2 Connect ver 3.0: 1. Got Rodent 1.0.13 (rodent_1-0-13.zip) from https://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/mouse/index.html 2. Unpack it and create a floppy with the archive contents (WinImage utility to rescue, then rename IMA to IMG) 3. Install OS/2 WITHOUT mouse support 4. At the "Advanced Options" screen, sele...

Thanks to @friendly.joe, I've found out that OS/2 is somewhat running, so did some tests: OS/2 ver. 2.0 works fine with mouse support, been able also to connect to a BBS with Softerm terminal client and UART in Modem mode. Installation works fine afaik. Starting version 2.1, mouse is no longer detected and L1 cache should be turned OFF in order to ...

As Caldor also suggested, better use a file manager for ms-dos :Dos Navigator, Norton Commander etc. I use Dos Navigator to simplify file access Just get either one, and copy them in some of the folders from IDE 0-1 Top 300 Dos Games (I have mine in E:\Utils). If neither of these file managers are ok to you, just use dosshell. It is as well present...

I think the README files cover that:
"THE EASY WAY
Extract minimig_module_5.14_prebuilt.tar.gz into /media/fat
After each boot run: (yes best to add this to boot scripts...)
cd ./minimig_module
./setup"

I didn't try it yet, will do after I finish to polish my VHDs with 3.2 AmigaOS, most likely this weekend

http://guide.abime.net/home3.htm -should give a start for WB 3.1. Also I would recommend A1K forum (a1k.org). Great source of links/programs/guides/a friendly bunch in general. Mostly German, but I use Google translate and I'm ok with that and it's being my main source of links for a while. As for software repo, of course, the Aminet.net is a great...

When it happened to me a week or so ago, the solution was to delete the old C64.cfg file.
After that, all came back to normal (using standard C64 kernel). Maybe it helps.

I suggest to use the 5V 4A Meanwell power supply, you can get it from Ricardo (ultimatemister.com) or Nat (misterfpga.co.uk).
Think I got mine from Nat, no problem whatsoever using it for powering my MiSTer and MT32-Pi

Here's what keys are mapped to exit whdload keys, from what I've played around: Help key - F11 (eg. Prince of Persia) PrtSc - * on numpad - most of the games (eg. High Seas Trader etc etc) F10 - F10 - second used key (eg. Gods, Lotus 3 etc) Esc - Esc (eg. Never Ending Story 2) Del - Del (e.g. HeroQuest) NumL - PgDn (eg. Midwinter) Think a game requ...

I'm not familiar much with wifi adapters, rarely using wireless connections. But yes, Orange/amber light usually reports an issue. Maybe try to set it to use only 2.4 Ghz or 5Ghz and see if you get any more disconnections ? Another idea is to check if you have (and can) update adapter's firmware ? Might be a solution, might be not, some cases I saw...

Out of curiosity, have you tried using an ethernet cable instead of Wifi dongle ?
I have my MiSTer connected with cable, static IP reservation on router and no issues at all while connecting to it from my Windows PC.
As for SSH/SFTP client, I use SecureCRT/SecureFX bundle, no issues encountered.

I'm curious too, as I won't be needing the physical cd.

I used flynsnbit "8GB_DOS71_QEMM.vhd" and just installed the game on it. After work, I'll fire up the MiSTer to check if I made some other settings. Later edit: This is how skull.cfg looks like, I just had to run setup.exe and it auto-detected : [DIGITAL] DeviceName = Sound Blaster Pro DeviceIRQ = 5 DeviceDMA = 1 DevicePort = 0x220 Device...

I've no clue tbh. Try downloading the util,zip from eXoDos and use the roms/soundfont it provides maybe ?

I use hdmi sound and have connected a 3.1 audio system to connect it to my monitor, sounds fine...

If you use a separate audio, I think the audio cable should be in MiSTer.

Hello, Received today my MT32-PI hat, worked with no issues. Just plugged the hat on a PI 3 I had around, connected the USB (short cable) from MT32 to MiSTer I/O port and followed the instructions from https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi#-quick-start-guide as : -extracting the mt32-pi.0.9.1-1.zip to the root of a small SD card formatted FAT32 -modi...

Got the MT32 PI today, safe and sound, can't wait to give it a run.
Thank you , Nat, awesome service and fast delivery ! (Cannot say the same for Romanian Postal services, but that is not something you/me can control )
