Thanks again. I removed anything with loop1xxx, there were 8 entries. Still get exactly the same error in the screenshot.

You can skip the double script that is there and download the one in the update folder. If you do that and I change the update script again then you will have to update it manually. Grab the one here, change the base path, and test: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flynnsbit/Top300_updates/main/_mister/update/AO486_Update_Top300_updater.sh Thanks...

Is your disk NTFS or exFAT? Also do you have an ao486 folder somewhere else as well, like the root of your mister? SDCard is NTFS. No other ao486 folder anywhere else. Even tried to see if it was case-sensitive, but no change. The games in the pack run great, and work perfect in ao486. I can see the files, the script is looking for, by logging int...

ok, I did it. Wow... Incredible work dude! I've successfully updated. Thanks Just in case anyone else runs into this issue, just make a file called "AO486_Update_Top300_Pack.ini" in the same folder as the .sh script with a single line in it: BASE_PATH=/media/fat of course, you wanna change the path to suit your setup. mine was /media/usb...

No issues with the mouse. I’m using a standard Logitech 2 button usb mouse with scroll-wheel (which also functions as a third mouse button). Thanks for the post, Paul. The mouse works on the first click, then I can't click anything. For example, I can open a disk drive, then one click on a folder and then nothing, no matter what I do. Weird. Perha...

I have a box set of GamesMaster on DVD (classic UK video game themed show) and playing these on a CRT is almost like watching them live again. Me too. I also have them on VHS, and they're the original recordings I made back in the 90s, along with an almost complete Bad Influence, Bits, Computer Show on Sky, etc.. But, I'm not hankering for a watch...

But their original format wouldn't have been interlaced DVD, it would have been 35mm/70mm celluloid film. And then there are the aspect ratios such as anamorphic, Academy format, Super 35, etc... viewing these on a 4:3 CRT TV isn't how it was meant to be viewed. I mean, I wouldn't watch Star Trek the Motion Picture on a poor quality VHS rip, on a C...

Is there some other easy way to play an iso on an old tv through rgb scart? But why would anyone want to do that ? Not trying to be funny, or anything. But, for years, we've been asking for better quality, higher definition movies, and now we have them with Blu-Ray Disks, or H265-encoded rips, or remastered movies using original celluloid transfer...

The only issue with this BBC core is the lack of floppy drive support, so no loading of .ssd or .dsd disk images.
The BEEB.MMB format is a convoluted way of using a BBC Micro. On a real BBC B, the BEEB.MMB format is an older way of using modern sdcards on the BBC. Thankfully, we now have Gotek Flashfloppy drives, or Retroclinic USB harddrives.

Ahh, I see. I had, or still have, the official Sony Scart grey cable, and it didn't have a way to plug in the Guncon.

I thought the Guncon was composite only ?
Anyway, this looks great. I have a couple of Namco Guncons boxed up in storage with my old PSX, will have to get them out.
How long are we from a purchase, if you don't mind me asking ?

They all work fine on real hardware. I have tried them with my BBC Master 128k, ADFS, and an external Gotek Drive with the Flash Floppy firmware.
My Master is fully modded out with a 4-way switchable Multi OS, Raspberry Pi Multi-Core Co-Processor, RetroClinic Compact Flash drive, and the Flash Floppy Drive - so it's not a stock BBC.

You mentioned it as if it only focused on Amiga and not C64. But I mentioned it, and that is all that matters. Fool. Guys, can we have a civilised discussion in this thread please. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that's not particularly useful or warranted here. I never asked to be called a liar. I mentioned CAPS, that doesn't mean I meant anyt...

Thanks nat. I will put in a order a bit later.
One last thing, I ordered the SNAC adapter and 5 add-ons from you, back on 25th Jan. All working great apart from the Atari 2600 one. After a bit of googling, it seems I need the ADC-in board and a 3.5mm audio cable to use paddles ?

In the meantime, I will add the built mt-32pi hat to my store, so those who already have a suitable USB cable or are happy to source one themselves can purchase just the hat, I will get this live and added to the website by the end of tomorrow (22/02/21). Hey Nat, did you sell all of them in one go ? I just tried to buy one, and it says it's only ...

I did mention that, at least bother to read my post.

It's a real shame the C64 doesn't seem to have a preservation project like the Atari 800, has. The Atari 800 preservation project, much like the Amiga CAPS, preserves original disks to the ATX format, and original cassettes to the CAS format, and not a single crack intro in sight. Not all work on the Mister, but most of the good games work great. A...

Sorry to bump this, didn't want to start another Win95 topic, but is there any kind of video acceleration supported ?
Either 2D or 3D acceleration. Would love 3DFX support, but I doubt there is room left in this core.

Here is a list of 4-way arcade titles, not all have a Mister core, but those that do should be relevant.

I like those ideas above, especially the disk drive track number, tape counter, etc...

Here is my temporary setup, until I get some proper mounts for the Dell. The Mister is in a plastic case under the Philips Monitor. The CRT is a Philips CM8833 Mk2, the menu-only resolution is slightly too high for the Philips, but any lower and the Dell LCD goes mad. The Dell is a 20" 2001FP LCD, and is only for cores that won't output a 15hz...

Does onyone knows which font is used on the "Moon Patrol" Logo? I like to rebuild it.

Does this help ?

It does the same on a CRT at native resolution.

Thanks. Just got to find mine, now.

Very Nice.
But is Q*Bert the same without the Votrax chip ?

Have you verified your tap images are working ok ? Are the zipped ? or unzipped ?
Personally, I would log into your mister from a PC, check in the config folder if there is a C64.cfg, and delete it. That way, you will start from a fresh cfg.

If you turn on tape sounds you can hear if the tape is starting too soon. None of my tapes were loading, then I turned on tape sounds and it turned out that the tape was playing before I managed to type LOAD. So now, I type LOAD, first, then load a tap file, then start it. Works every time.

Sorry for the bump, but I had similar problems to the guys above me, in that, I couldn't get a picture on my Philips CRT, but that older version "Archie_20201101.rbf" now works. But, I have mouse movement but no mouse buttons. I am using a PC multi-button USB mouse, which works in most cores I have tried, but in the Archi core I have no b...

Got my Mister last week, I have mine connected to a Philips CM8833 Mk2 via VGA to Scart. I also have a SNAC adapter + all the SNAC add-on connections for NES/SNES/ATARI etc.. The SNES SNAC adapter works great, I tested many SNES games with a real SNES pad and games play just like my own real SNES. But, my Super Scope 6 is in storage, as I don't hav...
