There is a composite port (for composite sync) on the SNAC adapter for you to plug in your GunCon unless I'm missing something?

Back in the CRT-era we'd use CRT adjustment tools, they are plastic and non-conductive (be careful about poking conductive screwdrivers into appliances with mains/high voltage).

I did see someone has made a 3D model available to print.

It is a big ol' can of worms and honestly I think to save headaches it is just easier to go with NTSC ROMs where they are not region-specific releases. I am horribly oversimplifying the issue but: Some ROMs (pretty common on Master System and early Mega Drive) released worldwide and the version released in PAL territories just ran 16.66~% slower fo...

Yep. It just spins the disc initially to identify it and then loads the image from local storage, same as Zaparoo. Taki has said there are no plans to fork the cores and as far as we know SuperStation is the guts of a DE10-Nano reimplemented on a single board with an injection moulded case and ports for PS1 peripherals over SNAC.

AngelicLiver

Is there any information out there how the SuperDock is going to work? I thought MiSTer isn't supporting USB CD/DVD drives... USB CD/DVD drives work just fine but the cores need lower-level access to read the games directly, something that is not possible with the DE10-Nano and USB drives. Instead, this dock is effectively dumping your games to on...

Personally I've always found it to be a non-issue; just enable auto-save on each core and just get into the habit of using the OSD when you're changing games/cores or powering down.

That said, I'm sure I read Zaparoo were working on triggering saves when NFC cards were removed. It might even be implemented already.

AngelicLiver

Really looking forward to seeing a finished product. Taki is really, really awful at naming his devices though, it is baffling.

AngelicLiver

In most cases anything USB is not low-level enough to interface directly with the cores, they usually require very tight timings to function properly. It has already been suggested before that you could jury-rig some USB devices and through abstractions/scripts at the linux-level use those to dump/launch games. I think there has been limited succes...

Which format are your games in? Have you tried using the BIOS fetcher in update_all?

AngelicLiver

Very exciting, can't wait to see all your hard work!

AngelicLiver

It doesn't sound like you are very familiar with the project or how the scaler and filter system works. Please read the docs thoroughly ; specifically the section on Video Configuration . VRR, BFI, HDR are all things that are already supported but rely heavily on the capabilities of the display. As with a lot of things MiSTer, most of this is done ...

It's probably worth working through the steps in this video. I don't have the Tink 4k to hand right now but I did test this some months ago and got some incredible results.

Limited GPIO pins on the DE10-Nano. If you are using the second GPIO headers for SDRAM you can't use the analog IO board. It's an addon board for analog IO boards to output 24-bit video via the VGA port using a DAC. 24-bit DAC is for analog video output only. The digital IO boards do not have analog video out. HDMI isn't affected. You can still us...

I think from 2012, CAVE moved on from the 68000 and CV1000 based hardware and everything since was released on generic x86/64 boards. This obviously wouldn't be feasible on MiSTer and CV1000 has already been ruled out due to the SH-3 and custom GPU. CV1000 games: Mushihimesama Puzzle!

Yes. Everyone is aware.

Archive.org is on a go-slow following a DDoS/hack some weeks back.

We are spoilt for choice for cheap Chinese handhelds right now, I caught this video a few days ago going over the pros and cons of Anbernic's offerings. They do seem to have a form factor for everyone. Personally I love my Miyoo Mini Plus with Onion OS, very pocketable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_zMdyCjKu4&t=1109s If you're looking to sp...

DIP switches will not help with USB/WiFi.

I don't recognise the WiFi dongle but it looks like a generic chipset that should work. Maybe run through the steps here.

Which power supply are you using?

AngelicLiver

Details are very scarce, everything released publicly is on Taki's X account.

What we know right now:

It is codenamed the "Super R2"
It will probably have a 4:3 AMOLED screen
No concrete release schedule
Two "teaser" images have been released, presumably WIP CAD files

Yeah I'm also confused why you aren't using the JAMMA edge on the expander board.

If the image quality from the JAMMA edge is poor this board is entirely redundant? You may need to change your DIP switch settings for analogue audio?

AngelicLiver

This has been discussed ad nauseam. The short answer is no; there are not enough GPIO pins to access carts and CD/floppy systems typically need very low-level access to the drives to function correctly. The are some outliers like ADC input for tape decks, work on getting C64 1541 drives working over SNAC and Amiga floppy drives but otherwise no, it...

I'm not sure what info anyone but the vendor can provide as to availability? They are sold in batches and I'm not aware of any impending batches about to be produced. I bought one of the earlier versions and use it with a modified mini-ITX case, I'm very pleased with it. However this is quite a cottage-industry; I'm not saying you've missed the boa...

You can sign up for stock alerts on the purchase page, drop them an email or message them on Twitter?

I would still read up on setting up, running and updating your MiSTer. Running update_all will keep you up-to-date and can be configured (press down when prompted on running the script) to download additional cores and much, much more.

AngelicLiver

I will in some days get my mister allready set with all up. But my question is how can I add more cores likes this Neo Geo Pocket and othe ones in the easiest way? Read the documentation thoroughly , watch the video below and using update_all will download everything you need (except for the ROMs). Jotego 's beta cores require you to be an active ...

FM Towns is interesting but is pretty niche, the X68000 core still has a ways to go too. Unfortunately there are only a finite number of developers with finite resources and esoteric Japanese systems require a lot of research and hands on with the hardware. Whilst I'm sure a lot of people here would love FM Towns and Towns Marty it's a massive unde...

Not that I am aware of. As it was distributed as a conversion kit for Qix, that seems like the logical place to start.

I doubt it's open source but some of the work appears to have already been done producing these replacement boards.

However, scrolling is a lot smoother on original hardware (even though it scrolls in chunks). Seems to be MiSTer specific. I just checked this on my MV1C and can't see any difference in the scrolling, either on a CRT or through a RetroTink 5x. Have you tried an alternative vsync_adjust setting on your display? Failing that, I can't see any open is...

Hi everyone! I’m looking to delve into ways to enhance the sound capabilities of the Commodore 64 using MiSTer FPGA. Specifically, what are the ultimate methods or modifications that can be applied to improve audio output? Any insights on software, hardware, or configuration tips would be greatly appreciated! Improve the audio in which way? Output...

I am not familiar with the game on PlayStation but quite often these 'glitches' in the areas of overscan are quite normal, you'll see them in HDMI output as by default the core doesn't crop the overscan area (from memory you can change the screen crop in the OSD). Looking at captures of the game on YouTube from supposed real hardware this appears t...

I'll let the other thread you started wrap this up. Probably for the best, you already made me waste a week and $25 on a power supply that I didn't need when it should have been obvious it wasn't an issue with the power supply, since you only need that for multiple peripherals and hard drives. It's okay to not know the solution to every problem. I...
