Re: Breakthrough for the ao486 core announced - Cache

open the mounting screen for it and then hit backspace. It probably needs a hint on that screen to hit backspace to unmount. Let me see what I can do. One of the latest commits implements this same thing we were discussing. Did you have any input in this, flynnsbit? https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/commit/790b5a56cfcbd6e5e5551388162e0e0...

Re: Anyone using an X-Arcade?

I have a tankstick as well and it runs with most all arcade cores I’ve tested it with, except in the ao486 core - Doom does not recognize it as a joypad... so that was a snag. Anyone here know what would be most optimal (e.g. mode3/Dinput or mode4/xinput) to allow doom to recognize the tankstick as a joypad, but still allow me to assign say the esc...

Re: MIDI sound using software synths?

I'm having issues getting MiSTer FPGA to talk to a Raspberry Pi running munt, (actually, running MT32-PI ) and I was wondering if this change was actually in place for everybody. This change will (likely) be in the next SD installer, so its not currently in place for everyone... However, this bug will effect very few games... Regardless, this chan...

I noticed that as well, almost as though it ‘took time’ for that option to ‘kick in’. Perhaps it was a fluke from testing all of those dev cores for the past three months😂

Re: TI-994a How-To

The TI99 core is a great core, however I think there is no harddisk support, so Tunnels of Doom is out of the game (which is one of the best TI games btw). Or am I mistaken here? Yes, it's correct. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no disk or tape support in the core. :-( You cannot run Tunnels of Doom, Adventure, etc. since it's not possible...
