Really fun to read your first impressions, enjoy your MiSTer setup! The 8BitDo Neo Geo pads are great. If the idea of having it randomly displaying all your games for a lot of system cores sounds interesting to you, look into the MiSTer SAM script. It is really fun to have it running in the background. I use it in combination with a TTY2OLED displa...

I know that the Gameboy Advance and Lynx cores have it (I requested three frame blending for the latter one and Robert kindly added it). I would expect it to be possible, unless it is somehow tricky for CRT display oriented systems.

The VGA output on the analog I/O board provides 18 bit color, a good VGA converter on the HDMI output provides 24 bit color. However, there are now PWM test cores that use multiplexing to achieve 24 bit color on the analog boards. Still, a good analog converter could potentially achieve better color accuracy. If I'm not misremembering, the digital ...

Make sure you don't have another old donkeykong rbf file in _arcade/cores on your MiSTer. That is what I had (probably an early test version with updated audio). Hmm... I deleted the rbf file and update_all downloaded the same (old) dkong from 230316 again and installed it. Is it possible, that this is an error because I have the DB9 version from ...

Odd how vsync_adjust=2 doesn't fix it.

vsync_adjust=2 is the least compatible mode (but fastest); 0 is most compatible (but adds more lag).

Ah yes, of course, I might have been sleepy enough to actually enter 2 instead of 0, I'll have to try that again.

I tested the SNES core and had no problems with it, it never lost sync. I was testing a number of older rbf files yesterday (as well as another HDMI cable, which made no difference) and even the first one of 2021 lost sync occasionally. It seems to be noticably worse in the 2023 and 2024 versions, at times every few seconds and then not at all for...

Tried the previous version of the core, restored the mister core to the stable version, disconnected my analog output, nothing makes a difference. Really odd, the previous dk core is from quite some time ago, so I should have noticed this problem much earlier. MiSTer SAM is happily running everything else without problems. It sounds similar to my ...

It is is update_all. That's strange... I did two times update_all and I can't find this option to change the sound from samples to emulated sound and back....? Donkey Kong US Set 1 Make sure you don't have another old donkeykong rbf file in _arcade/cores on your MiSTer. That is what I had (probably an early test version with updated audio).

I'm using an 'outlet switch power plug' which is a single outlet with a switch, that works better than an inline switch in the low-voltage cable, as that causes a voltage drop.

Like this one, but in black: https://www.kabeldirect.nl/doorvoerstek ... t-wit.html

This version sounds really good. Sadly it has sync problems on my iPad monitor now, even with vsync_adjust=2 it keeps losing sync, with a vertical frequency of 60.6Hz (60.7Hz with vsync 2 for some reason). Vsync_adjust=0 used to work fine. Strange. Can/did you try a different version also to confirm it is fine? Maybe something else caused it other...

In case you missed it, Donkey Kong is back and better than ever! The music is greatly improved with the fixes from schendel's previous unreleased work (he previously provided a separate RBF to test), and there is now an option in the menu core to switch between emulated and sampled analog sound for the walking sound. All of these fixes are now inc...

I just received the RetroCastle adapter today and to my surprise it has a housing. Not the same as your design though. Looking at their Aliexpress product page, I see that is now an option that costs more. So I was lucky, really nice gesture. Heads-up for people getting one, the VGA port on it is male, so you need a female to male VGA cable to con...

Really awesome project, he made great progress. Also IPF support is being worked on as a result of the fixes he made to the pulse timings. Its an exciting time Yeah, that is great news as well. I'm really impressed with how he got everything working with the limited amount of available user port lines. I have a Greaseweazle and it's a cool experie...

Ok, I must be dense. :? Robotron is shown to have autosave support for high scores. I don't see any option to enable/disable in the in OSD. If I save settings then high scores are saved, but otherwise high scores are lost. What am I missing? If I'm not misremembering, that was the way highscore saving worked initially. Later on an auto-saving opti...

I will check this out.

I just received my RetroCastle YC adapter and the VIC-20 core with composite output looks impressively accurate.

Really awesome project, he made great progress.

LamerDeluxe

Yeah, it would need added communication. The emulators are already customized for Groovy support, so who knows, it might be doable. If it only showed the currently playing game in text, it might not be interesting enough. Should be doable with some communication to @psakhis ;) I might make a ticket for it, but hopefully he will be able to get cont...

LamerDeluxe

Odd that it failed so completely all of a sudden. Have you jiggled the switches on the DE-10? Sometimes they fail to make good contact over time.

The 128MB 3.0 module would be a good choice, older versions apparently have more of a chance to have audio problems with the Saturn core.

LamerDeluxe

This one for Groovy! I'm not very happy with that artwork, It is truly not a Van Gough, but better this than nothing for now. Thanks! At least it is already better than just a text. I was wondering too about what it should show, on the one hand it would be cool if the core could somehow show the name of the game being streamed, on the other hand t...

That is great news! The firmware update yesterday was a nice surprise, so soon after the much awaited 2.0 version.

LamerDeluxe

The PDL version even has a 'MiSTer' setting especially for the 7800/2600 core.

LamerDeluxe

I synced the repository just now and noticed audio is being worked on, awesome (I see a menu option for it as well). I didn't get it to work yet, but great news anyway.

The front end looks like a great addition as well.

Im currently using a SNAC with ADC and this core : Atari2600_SNAC_20200726.rbf Does anyone know where someone in the UK can obtain one of the working adapters mentioned without shipping from the US? Are these devices open source? I'm in the Netherlands and just bit the bullet and ordered two Daptor adapters from the US. Found out the D9 had ground...

LamerDeluxe

Kitrinx develops the 7800/2600 and if I'm not misremembering, wasn't interesting in adding SNAC paddle support.

Support for the Daptor D9 and PDL (recommended to avoid grounding related jitter) is fantastic in that core and works with up to four paddles.

LamerDeluxe

Hahaha, that is bizarre, can't blame you for not expecting that to be the cause of the problem.

LamerDeluxe

Flood is a really fun game, the James Pond games are also good.
