Re: PlayStation MiSTer Core Repository Created

im glad to see such quick progress with this core, but if the dual SDRAM is needed, this will hinder several peoples setups who use SNAC, active cooling, VGA for other cores, dual SD cards, and the user buttons kind of puts the playstation into a standalone MiSTer setup at that point, or having to purchase a separate MiSTer specifically for the pla...

is it still giving you a black screen.. if so.. have you got an on/off switch on your power cable. try powering it without the switch adapter this was my first assumption as well, a faulty power supply i had a similar issue where if i cold booted (no power, then started the MiSTer by plugging in AC adapter) the MiSTer would boot fine but if i did ...

Re: Problem with new MiSTer

aww, sorry to hear about that man :(

i would at least, as a last ditch effort, attempt to re-connect everything on the MiSTer, make sure everything is connected well/securely,
and try a different power supply

(selling it will be quite quick)

Re: Super Mario World intro chime/screen & Link To The Past intro chime/screen errors

yes, that makes sense, and is what i had discovered as well. some HDTVs respond quicker to resolution/refresh changes, and others take a couple seconds to change which lead me to ask if a custom core option could be implemented, where we could set a certain amount of seconds to wait to load the ROM, so that the resolution and 60.08hz signal can upd...

yes, that is a great real world example of how well FPGA gaming matches original hardware, regarding input lag. kind of drives home the point that FPGA gaming is as close as you can get to the real thing (and IMO, more versatile and subjectively better) heres a reddit post that compares shinobi running on original hardware and compares it to some c...

you are on a MiSTer message board, so our opinions will be biased, but as someone who has personally used basically every single kind of emulator from ~2001 and up, various emulation handhelds, softmods for PSP/3DS, and retropie; once i got a MiSTer, it formed a new "standard" for hardware emulation which is 2nd only to original hardware....

hmm, thats kind of what i was thinking too. probably a display issue at this point oh well, it is just that first brief intro piece of the boot sequence, and it is a minor issue. the screen/core works fine past that point in low lag. i was hoping there could be a custom core setting to allow for an additional second or two after loading a ROM, wher...

Re: Super Mario World intro chime/screen & Link To The Past intro chime/screen errors

Do you use a soundbar? I see audio delays (not with MISTER specifically) where if there is no audio (which there isnt on mister menu) the moment audio starts it kinda "wakes up" the soundbar. So you will miss a tiny bit. no, no soundbar with my setup. its hdmi in to the TV, and digital out to an amp/speakers sounds like a issue local to ...

F***yeah!
guwange was the first cave game i played back when MAME was first starting out, and they got the 1st gen cave titles to run.

the game blew me away with its bullet hell gameplay and weird bosses.

Re: Daemonbite adapter problem in 2 player mode

was going to say the same as paco.
i would just use 2 separate adapters, as running 2 controllers of one board does add a tiny amount of input lag (~2ms as suggested by porkchopexpress)

2 separate adapters is also how i run my bartop with 2 arcade sticks

to add to the confusion and point again to the SNAC firmware needing an update -

my same SNES controller that doesnt work via SNAC on the MiSTer, works just fine with a daemonbite adapter on the MiSTer.
so, yeaahh, not sure whats going on with the MiSTer and SNAC. some OEM controllers work and others dont.
