So basically emulation has some extra checks it can perform, thanks.

I think there is a good chance you posted this earlier on the board which I presumably read and forgot about

Nice paul :D try the latest update, you could shave off another second It seems to also differ based on what version of MiSTer/Linux you are running. But I updated yesterday and its even faster now: This is without the WIFI-dongle (consistent): 00 seconds to see static 07 seconds until I see the mister menu with blueooth ready Wow, I love this proj...

Is it possible to automatically select correct joystick port when loading a disk/cart?
Like from a database or from the filename (MyGame[j1] or MyGame[j2])

Wow, I just had to update when I read this, is there anything left at this point :?: Next you're starting to invent stuff :lol: I like it! PSX: - multitap 4 digital pad emulation added(from markun) - analog joystick input option added(from markun) - direct video stability(from paulb-nl) - fix memcard timing (fixes 007 and Ace Combat 3) - fix bus ro...

TLDR; Did someone release a wallpaper pack for the MiSTer?

When you eventually get to mounting floppy images. Please look at the "transcopy" disk format, because it handles "copy protected disks" like weak bits, extra tracks, different sector sizes etc..

Just something to consider

held

Just as verified ROM dumps are required for the cartridge based consoles, disc rips require the same level of precision and verification. It's the "downside" of FPGA being as close to real hardware as it is. It's not going to ignore slight imperfections the same as software emulation does. When all else fails, compare to a verified copy ...

From switching on at the power my times are: 0 seconds to see static 6 seconds until I see the mister menu 15 seconds until wifi becomes active 22 seconds until Bluetooth becomes active Excellent post, I recorded mine to see how it holds up This was when I noticed it being slow: 00 seconds to see static 06 seconds until I see the mister menu 31 se...

After some experimentation:
* when I remove the WIFI-dongle its faster
* when I plug my BT-dongle in in USB5 instead of USB1 its significantly faster (5+ secs)

Can someone shed a light on this ?

held

I've been changing my setup and I notice my bluetooth takes longer to be ready.
Now this could be OCD-ish but I remember it being faster before.

So whats a bad/normal/good boot time ?

I believe PiGUS and MT32-Pi are using the same baremetal boot environment so I could see how it might potentially work on the same device. But I guess the question becomes: is the PiGUS needed? I didn't own a Gravis Ultrasound so I may be misinformed but I thought the main OPL synthesizer output wasn't any different from SoundBlaster cards; just d...

I saw more posts from different cores last week complaining about some color/tint/hue interferance. Maybe it has to do something with the MiSTer main? At any rate I manually replaced unstable main with regular main however the problem persists. I'm thinking about uninstalling PSX unstable and PSX official, then doing a clean install of PSX officia...

Update from Dale on the Pi Zero 2 W.

Just saw this, and had to reply:https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=88440
Could we switch between MT32 and GUS ?

Is your MAC address different or the same each to time you reboot?
If its different, you might want to set it via the "scripts" menu.

This is just speculation but I think some of this stuff can be automated using AI in the future.
If IA is ment to replace humans in other processes why not here?

Too bad, I also have two toothbrushes.. but they do not make me brush faster.

How about offloading parts that need not be in the FPGA to an RPI4 module via the USB/IO connection or would this be too slow ?

Quick question: I read "there is not enough room in the FPGA" a lot on this forum, usually when the question is to emulate systems from 1997 or newer. (n64, dreamcast, etc) The DE-10 has its limits, but could those limits be broken if a second DE-10 nano is added to the stack? Some form of parallel processing? and would it make a real dif...

Thank you for that elaborated explanation, that must have taken some time to write. But I was hoping on a more practical solution :shock: Like pitching DOSBox versus AO486 to see where the software breaks in the core. I'm no stranger to x86 assembler, although I'm not great at it, I can find my way. So I was thinking of stepping through the softwar...

Do you want to skip all the intro's and loading sequences?

Topic says it all: How to debug in/the AO486 ?

I think my interest lays mainly in the 486/DOS-side of things not the core itself, but I assume there is an overlap

So lets say a program does not run in AO486, but does in DOSBox, and lets pretend in this scenario its something easy.

How would I go about solving that issue ?

held

When it comes to the AO486 core, some say that it is quite close to full capacity, and this is after the core having been optimized several times by Sorg and others. I have seen it said several times that x86 is very complex compared to other CPUs in consoles and other computers. But I still suspect much can be gained if a new PC core was started ...

I have no idea what you are saying, sorry :/ Afaik DOS4GW searches PATH for a newer version, and runs it when found bypassing itself. So I do not understand why one would start hacking into the game executable. Besides I can run Warcraft II fine with the "dos32a war2.exe", bypassing DOS4GW completely. Thus the same should work for a newer...
