MiSTer FPGA Forum

I have looked into this further and it is possible with a little effort as demonstrated by using cocktail cabinet mode. Gorf and Moon Cresta both have cocktail cabinet modes and are able to rotate the display the other way for Player 2 so the vertical refresh timing comments above are not the constraint. The original game and the core can do this w...

There is nothing to edit.

I think it is a temporary fix to get it working.

Coin and P2 is not supported at this time although they register in the test mode.

Could they be converted to Scalable Vector format SVG and make use of that rather than bitmap?

Vector graphic overlay would be more fitting for a Vector System

I ran it with overlays on a Dell 2001 FP 1600x1200 monitor last night and it is almost perfect.

I tested it by placing a Minestorm overlay over the MiSTer display to compare overlay sizes.

Make sure you have any monitor stretch / fill functions off

Hope we can somehow "connect" the rom and the overlay at a later time. Maybe with an additional config file or a simple naming convention?

If you leave it as is then there is more choice to try other overlays.

Unzip the Overlays to a folder called overlays. Copy this folder into the folder where Vectrex Games are. Place the new Vectrex.rbf in _Consoles folder (I renamed mine as VectrexOvr.rbf) Start Mister and run the VectrexOvr core Minestorm boots with no overlay Select F12 to select game and load an overlay file.

I played Myriad, Arcadia and Omega race a lot as a kid. The VIC has a lot of enjoyable games, I also like Gorf, Choplifter, Radar Rat Race, Jetpac, Skyhawk and Robot Panic, plus lots of others. Too bad many of the best ones are not included, but it makes sense, as there are a lot of arcade ports. You can play them all from USB Stick ;-) Yes, lucki...

Yes but does your MiSTer have a lovely Vic20 Keyboard with PET keyboard font on sculpted keys (never produced like that but cool) and off white case with Tan coloured function keys? There have been conversions of The C64 to Raspberry Pi so no reason not to put your MiSTer into The Vic20 :-) The Vic20 also has licenced some more of the old games. Th...

you cannot modify MRA that way. If button is not implemented, it can't be added through MRA. Core needs update. We have Inviso working with changes to the MRA but realise this is not the correct way to deal with it. Invisio is confounded with Start P1 doing it this way....but it makes the game playable. Please could you take a look at the core for...

@Sorgelig

I tried this as you can see above and StartP1 and Inviso are confounded.

Please can you take a look and see if there is something missing in Stargate core, it is not the same as Defender

Thanks.

I could only get it to work with a 720 time out and I have a 200Mbit connection

Worth implementing just for that!

I would donate to get that up and running.

Xbox 360 has a Minter VLM as well with 4 gamepad control.

Nuon too I think.

Nippur72 has compiled an unofficial Vic20 core for MiSTer and I have tested it and Berzerk MMX+ now has speech.

Check out "B17 Bomber" with a great accent on speech

@Locutus73

Update script fails even with PARALLEL_UPDATE="false"

I have run this for a few days and get 85% through download and then it fails.

I created updare.ini with PARALLEL_UPDATE="false" and tried a few times with the same result.

release_20200618.rar is the problem file

Is there a fix for this issue?

These pong type and simple graphics games are fun. Some were 10 variants of Pong, others a bit more advanced

I always wanted the one with the motorbike jumping game that ran left to right on three lanes on the top middle and bottom of the TV to build up speed then jump barrels I think.

I had a GP32 and still have a GP2x and a Pandora.

They are all interesting machines for homebrew and emulation but not very mainstream so will have little interest for many I think.

Why not dig out some documentation on the device and place links in this thread.

p.s. Retitle the thread to GP32

Yea its really a nice effort .. and thank you .. I love showing my son some of the video games I grew up with .. and we had a ball playing them .. for that.. there is no price and no words that I can say to really convey my appreciation.. This is what it is all about, sharing with the next generation before ephemera is lost. Great Post ericgus09 T...

If you added Inviso after Hyperspace the try adding in L to the string sequence A,B,X,Y,L,Start,Select,R

I suspect what you did was add the term but took over the assignment to Start

The Vic20 core on Mist / Mistica has been updated with fixes for this issue. Can the MiSTer Vic20 core author look into these?

Nippur72 on the Denial forum has a solution to some Vic20 issues in FPGA.

Have you tried adding the text? Might just be missing in the MRA from a copy paste from Defender?

All of those controls are available on Ultimarc to US, EU, UK

I just bought an illuminated trackball and Tempest Spinner - very nicely made.

https://www.ultimarc.com/arcade/buttons/goldleaf-pushbuttons-rgb/ I can highly recommend these, they are silent unlike microswitches. Illumination is great and if desired can be illuminated bezel with a black button using a replacement plunger cap. I plugged my MiSTer into the Jamma cabinet today and the picture was great even without changing the...

Not sure if this is useful but I saw the link in FPGA Arcade Yie Ar Kung Fu readme and thought it might be of interest

https://opencores.org

Out of stock but now here

CastleManiaGames.com

It does hundreds of the things you want but not Missile Command yet.

Defender and Robotron are very good as is Joust.

Lots of options for a large portion of the older arcade and many computer systems from EDSAC to Amiga

https://www.ultimarc.com/

I have just tested my OptiPac and Trackball and this works as a mouse with MiniMig to control the mouse cursor.


It does not work with Centipede but I don't think the core accepts trackball yet.

If you want to run VGA into an arcade monitor then have a look a the Ultimarc JPAC it has a clock dividing circuit.

Please note I have not tried this with MiSTer....yet but I think others may have.
