Re: Forcing the MiSTer to display in 50hz on CRT?

Amiga, and ST look stretched Most Amiga games run in 50hz by default, and you can force 50hz for all games in the options if you use https://amiga.vision And if the launcher is unreadable on your screen, you can also force that to 50hz, but that’s a bit more complicated. I just tried a couple of games on the Amiga (after pressing F12 and selecting...

Re: Forcing the MiSTer to display in 50hz on CRT?

You can use the scaler to fake it (vga_scaler=1), but if you go that route, rather than outputting 50hz, you can instead adjust the scaler to add larger horizontal blank to 60hz output so it fits on your display. See this for more details, try the calculator to make a starting modeline, and then try adjusting the horizontal blanking parameters unt...

Forcing the MiSTer to display in 50hz on CRT?

Is there a way of getting the MiSTer to force all the cores to display at 50hz? The Atari 800, C64, BBC, ZX Spectrum and some others all look right on my TV (I'm in the UK), but the arcade cores, Amiga, and ST look stretched and the display from the MiSTer on those cores is larger than my TV shows (at the moment, I am having to go into the service ...

isn't that related to the 12v needed on scart to keep it enabled? I had something like this in the past with my mx7000

I have no idea at all. I'd never heard of that before even.

I'm no good with electrical stuff in that way myself, so I don't know where I'd go with that.

RTG Scart cable / Ini settings issue

Hi folks, I use a monitor, and I have a CRT also and wanted to get my MiSTer working on that as well. I bought a MiSTer VGA to RGB SCART Cable, plugged it in, and set composite_sync = 1, forced_scandoubler = 0, and vga_scaler=0. It still didn't work other than for a second or two and I could see on the CRT the MiSTer was saying change the framebuff...

Are you using unheadered roms by chance? The NES core relies on rom headers to set console up.

Ah yes, thanks.

One way of playing Pole Position on the MiSTer (at least for now) is the Playstaion rom called Namco Museum Vol. 1.

You'll find Pole Position on there.

After they are out of the beta phase, he will release them for everyone. Ah, okay. That's interesting. I'm curious, how often do we get new cores?

When Outrun loads up, it says "Beta Bin not found", is that the same for everyone else? I ask as it plays, but the graphics look a tiny bit odd (the shadow on the car has an outline etc).

Does your Mister show the Bluetooth icon ?
If it doesnt then your receiver is simply not being recognised.

Also Update the firmware on the controller either Via PC or plugging into a PS5

Where would be Bluetooth icon be? (I am still quite new to MiSTer, only having it a couple of weeks now).
