Thank you Sorg!

@barfood, btw from you video it looked like your mister composite was very good. Are you experiencing "moving dot crawls" with the AV's adapter? Some hours ago I've ordered one but after reading those long thread I'm confused. Is there any video showing that? I mean I've found a relative recent video about it (1 month ago) that looks ver...

Has there always been a vga to composite adapter? Or is it a new thing? Has it been made specifically to downgrade the mister signal? It has been available for some time from https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/product/vga-composite-s-video-adapter/, however it should be noted that this adapter currently generates inaccuracies in the composite sig...

I have AV's adapter, I'll try to capture and share the test results tonight. Thanks, it would be great! Here you go! The video is still processing, but by the time you see this post it should be viewable: https://youtu.be/4kIeOnPOVd0 Please forgive the rough filmography, hopefully it provides the insight you were looking for. :) From my eyes, the ...

While I get where OP is coming from, this is asking a lot from MiSTer devs for little in return. If this feature would mean so much to you, consider this alternate possibility: 1) Buy an alternate SD card to use at parties. If it gets messed up, nothing of value is lost! 2) if an alternate SD card is too expensive, back up your SD card before the p...

Where are such filters found? They don't seem to be part of the official filter list: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Filters_MiSTer

How so? In my experience it generally leaves any areas without checkerboarding alone. I tried turning on the adaptive blend in the Genesis core but it didn't seem to make a difference, even in games like 3D Blast where the SG's dither blending would be obvious. If nothing else I'd love to understand what I'm doing wrong. Does it require some confi...

Filled, looking forward to the results

PROBLEM + SOLUTION: My Wi-Fi stopped working after updating the MiSTer OS, and I found out that the rtl8188eu* files have been deleted from the /lib/modules/4.19.0-socfpga-r1/ and /lib/firmware/rtlwifi folders. The steps I needed to do to solve this (from https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/MISTER-CUSTOM-WIFI-DRIVER-COMPILATION-GUIDE) ...

Reading about the XBAND, it makes me really curious if we could recreate the schematics of those modems and use them in our MiSTers to play online...

At this point, you might be better off buying the HDMI -> Composite + S-Video adapter from Antonion Villena (even though its Composite signal is not ideal)

This thread makes my heart warm and fuzzy. Thanks so much for your generosity, Gyruss, I hope a lot of good will come out of it!

I'm surprised you had issues with NeoGeo. In my experience, running the Update_all script was all I needed to get all the bios and my games running. In any case, welcome to the family!

Stepmania is miles above what you could do with a DDR Core, I suggest you check it out! It's already easily available, free, and support custom songs from the community.

Wow I am absolutely blown away by the builds you guys have made. They are not the most practical space-wise, but they are a joy to look at. The digital GE clock in particular caught my eye :) Here's my simple 3D printed case. I chose red, in honor of the SNK red cabs! I'm eyeing the aluminium case from MisterAddons, but I'll wait until my case does...

Nice find! Can you link your PR, or is it already merged?

I'm having trouble with my wifi dongle that used to work for a long time. I followed the setup in that thread and it was working initially, but now I'm getting errors all: IPv6 kernel autoconf disabled and wlan0: waiting for carrier before entering my wifi password. The connection doesn't seem to get established (I get /dev/tty: no such devices or ...

Thanks for your efforts, elvis!

So if I understand your results right, the "NES classic" palette is the closest to matching the AV Famicom? If so, that's very interesting, I never gave too much thought to the NES classic palette since it wasn't made by a community member.

Semi off-topic, I wonder if the American NES outputs different colors than the AV Famicom. I have the AV Famicom and Mister hooked to the same TV with a splitter box. Switching back and forth between the two, I can't find a palette that visually matches the SMPTE color bars from the 240p test suite of the AV Famicom.

The .ko file from user ioev, as well as these installation instructions from the mister wiki (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... TION-GUIDE), followed by running the wifi.sh script, worked for me! It does not delete itself either, just works perfectly after this setup.

So would you say Unsaturated is the most authentic (OG NES+CRT) palette? I have not been able to compare side by side yet, but I've been playing the NES over a CRT for over 20 years and it's the one that strikes me as the most authentic...scratch... accurate to my experience when using an NES on my own NTSC monitors. However, the palette of an ori...

I'm using the Unsatured or the pvm palette at the moment. The Sony CXA is very colorfull, maybe I need to get used to it. Looking at Super Mario, I played this on the NES, but also in de arcades when I was a kid. I don't remember exactly how the colors where for the arcade version. Arcade colors were quite ugly. You can check with the PC10 palette...

I personally keep switching between Unsatured V-Final and Pixeltao v2 (from the downloadable custom palettes). I like how faithful the Unsaturated palette looks compared to an NTSC CRT, but I love the satisfying reds of Pixeltao.

Out of curiosity, which ones do you use? Any special reason?

Some discussion on the adapter on Atari-Forum from Oct 2019: https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=37611 I do not know if this still accurate, though. Edit: Appears to still be accurate as of earlier this month (Aug 2020), per this tweet: https://twitter.com/cunyfidefins/status/1293265021904932864 Ugh... I have a composite adapter from Anton...

I've got a solid noob question for you guys: how can I boot Windows from DOS? I have DOS 6.22 all setup and working, but I'm more insterested in Windows 95/98. I tried downloading the Win95.vhd from the everdrive pack on archive.org. It gave me an error "Disk I/O error. Replace the disk, and then press any key". I then tried downloading a...

I found my LEDs would not light up when the SD card was not inserted. Is your MiSTer working fine while the LEDs are not turning on?

I believe we're talking about the same port (see attach). I never noticed the pwr1 on the board! Then, what could be powered from this port?

SOLVED: It's by design, a USB socket that only outputs power, does not read data. Original post:-------------- There is one port on my USB hub that doesn't seem to work at all: it's the one next to the power plug, on the side where there is the HDMI connector. There is no green light next to the USB port when I connect something in this port, but a...

That's a new tentative rule implemented in the latest MiSTer update, and it confuses a lot of people especially in arcade cores, since you don't try to press any other button but the coin one in those initially.

Ahh! There it was. Thank you, it works for me
