The new core works so well - we can play French obscure RPGs now!

Ah yes - I had that issue with screenshots too

I made a Mastodon account, but still not sure what app to use on Android; they seem to have different features.
For Bluesky it looks like we need an invite... if anybody wants to invite me I'll join

I have some disk fixes to test..

Some tests I've done:

• Speed test (Birth of the Phoenix custom loader): sector/track read works at expected speed

• ACS game creation: worked with 2 disks

• Wizardry1: able to create characters

Working great so far!

I'll push an update to that when I get a chance...

Did you ever get a chance to post an updated version? I'm curious to try the latest for my new Book8088

What was removed from the Pocket version? It still feels very complete. If were to guess .. it has no demos?

The scaler is normally only for the HDMI output (it can be turned on for VGA via INI , but not the default setting)

So, yes, I expect the unscaled interlaced output to work as the original console

Worth checking the SD card. Some cards refuse to write if they are fragmented or corrupted. See if it still happens with a fresh SD card.

Check the filesize, some BIOS used by PCXT can only boot the smaller 360K images

I'd love to see Super Mario Bros and the Zelda G&W games on this core... although no idea what kind of hardware it would need on top of what already exists

I have run Shapeshifter with 1080p on the core, so its definitely not just the workbench that works with RTG.

I'm not familiar enough with the config to help, but at leaat it suggests the implementation is functional for gaming.

Might as well just do a whole core just for that game

Woohoo! This is great, looking forward to it!

a lot of the other categories are highly subjective and made just to make it a bit more fun to explore the game library based on various perspectives.

that's totally fine... and I like the appoach. Mostly i was asking to keep the same "spirit" of selection. Would you guys prefer highlights or a more complete list?

Results: 3DO, CDi, N-Gage, NDS or the N64

I think it's the 3DO, it sold a few millions and has some unique quirky games that sold well.

But even if I'm wrong. I'm happy to have a new core coming up for any of those systems. Can't wait to dig into a new game library!

I'm fine with anything. I enjoy all "garbage" systems as much as the popular ones, if the dev is motivated to work on it and the system has games we can try out.

i'd love to see an Alice90 implementation for completeness (but not holding my breath)

Joycons work with MiSTer so assuming its the same bluetooth protocol, it should work too.

When I was able to play Quake II on the PSX core, I thought to myself it should also be possible in ao486.

It's not a fair comparison though; the PSX version was optimized for the hardware and used a GPU, which does not exist in ao486. Not sure if a 3dfx voodoo 1 would work with a 486, but it would be hard to write and fit in the current core.
