Re: Adam Computer (Coleco) by AlanSWX Working !!!

Released!!!

I know that it doesn't load the Adam cartridges, and there is some spurious keypress thing the first time. Otherwise it is fairly complete.

Re: New MiSTer Help Function Not Working

Hi guys, I'm trying out the new Help menu to open md files but I get an error that says: /media/fat/linux/glow: No such file or directory. Do you know if there is a way to install glow to have this working? I've ran update and update_all scripts already but I have the same results, also I've some filters enabled for update_all but I'm not sure it ...

Re: MiSTer Google Slides PDF Project

I looked at the changes that were made to the sheets. Lots of great ideas. However, I just regret the lack of harmonization between all of them. My favorite style remains the one for Amstrad CPC6128: image of the computer,keyboard and pictures (2 pictures). it keeps as much essential information as possible on the first page: commands, keyboard, r...

Re: MiSTer Google Slides PDF Project

Brilliant idea, but not sure why you are calling them "Cheat" sheets ? Load "*" Run How is that a cheat ? It's a command. I decided to change them to "Overview" instead of "Cheat" -- see the ones I actually released. But a cheat sheet for VIM or some tech is usually just a quick summary of commands on a piec...

Re: New MiSTer Help Function Not Working

The help feature uses the Framebuffer mode in linux. So you need to make sure you have framebuffer displayed on HDMI or somehow working on the CRT. I have two monitors hooked up, and it keeps the CoCo3 running on the VGA, while the PDF is on the HDMI. Ok, so do you confirm it can't work on CRT analogue only? I haven't tried to get Framebuffer work...

I probably have an off by one issue when I made the FPGA code. Do you think we can correct it with the PNG? Or should I try to go into the core and fix it? I need to look at the code again.

Re: Mac Plus update

On a slightly different tangent, does anyone know if it's possible to get networking going? Might be interesting to set up an Appletalk server on my network using something like RetroNAS. The Wiki doesn't mention networking at all, so I'm assuming it's still too early for that. The Mac Plus serial works, tested using ZTerm, and the PPP works with ...

You probably exited the joystick setup too early. You need to go past the mouse and keep going. It will ask about the analog sticks a second time.

How did we forget Centipede!? I remember trying to do that right at the beginning but it uses NVRAM and the original author hadn't implemented it, and I was clueless :D Given I have a working simulation of it now, and understand so much more than I did a year ago, it should be doable so I'll put it on the to-do list. Check the MiST version too and...
