MiSTer FPGA Forum

Speaking of, forgot to mention this - it's a very worthy read (even if you think you know it all! :

Agreed - that's a shame. It'd be nice if you could shift video modes without tinkering with fine-grain refresh rate.

Well, sometimes. There are plenty of examples of SNES games where square pixels in the native 8:7 aspect ratio produce true circles, while a 4:3 stretch of that makes ovals. That feature very obviously varies by developer, so you can't just blanket state that one or the other is truly correct. Of course I can. The target display of an SNES *does n...

Posting in Newcomers because I'm assuming the answer is obvious and I'm just daft. :) Ideally, I'd like a "hands-off" approach to regional video output (to HDMI)...so in a more refined example, I'd like US Genesis games to display at ~60Hz, and PAL Genesis games to display at ~50Hz without intervention. vsync_adjust=2 comes close, but unf...

Sorry for being this harsh, but it's getting rather ridiculous. The current spate of devs don't want to implement it, and that's fine - I have no issue with that. But if people want to discuss relevance, and are not just being criticized - but *judged* - for pointing out that _yes, that's really how it was, no matter how much you wish it were othe...

The same is absolutely true of 4:3. *NO* video chip from that era produced square pixels, yet that's how they were drawn - artists had to actually take that into account and compensate for it by drawing art stretched 'thin' so it would appear properly on a 4:3 CRT. "Pixel perfect" (or 1:! square pixels), in retro terms, is *inherently wr...

Ah, I missed "Main_MiSTer' - thank you!

No, it's just historical accuracy. Any software pre-EHB works fine on OCS Agnus.

(Meanwhile the RGB out was super clean and absolutely gorgeous. Personally I'm in the Sorgelig camp on this debate, I don't see why people want to deliberately destroy their picture quality for some dubious argument about composite output being the "correct" way to render those graphics (it's not), but to each his own...) Could not possi...

Where's the right place to file a (minor) MiSTer framework bug report?

It's worth noting - because it's strangely misunderstood to this day - that there were *three* MVS regions (USA, EUR, and JPN), but only _two_ AES regions (EUR - effectively English - and JPN). This is important because the UniBIOS setting of AES/USA was literally impossible in the real world (on unmodified hardware), despite games working perfectl...

The first one, and no, in that order.

This approach is necessary to have, for example, a game-specific BIOS.

In Karateka, I can move left and right, and I can stand up (and bow), but when I try to run (stand/up + upper-right), I go right back into a fighting stance. Any clues on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks to you both - sorted!

I followed the directions for serial support (UART Connection: MIDI, MidiLink: Remote, Type: TCP) and loaded Striketerm 2014 (confirming baud to be 2400), but I can't get basic communication with itself working - typing anything at all just results in the same C= graphics character being printed. Something is listening, because "at" resul...

Primal Rage is extremely unlikely - the protection is not fully understood to this day (and the creator has adamantly refused to help).
