Actually this may be happening on regular DE-10 hardware too... was there an update recently in MiSTer main?

It is the same on regular DE-10 Nano, it has been there for years and it is not a bug. Horizontal scanlines are generated by a vertical filter.

It does look surprisingly decent for the era!

A Super Cassette Vision core is on its way, see https://gitlab.com/ReverendGumby/SuperC ... ion_MiSTer. It lacks audio at the moment but it will get there.

The core can run Sega System E games.

The game has a save feature, does it not? You could try deleting the save file (in saves/SNES) in case it has been corrupted or there is an incompatibility with the new core. Just a thought.

SHould I basically use space to get through all of the buttons apart from OSD and then configure the inputs on the n64 core menu?

No, only press Space when asked to map buttons that you do not have or do not want to be mapped. Otherwise, they will be undefined. You likely want to map at least the menu navigation buttons.

The MiSTer menu button (aka OSD button) can be mapped in the main menu. You should have a keyboard plugged in alongside the controller before selecting "Define joystick buttons". If it asks for a 2nd joystick, press Space on the keyboard to skip and continue to the next step.

See the wiki for more information.

I’m still having this issue. Is there somehow I can add the cores manually?

You can of course download the mra and rbf files from github and place the them in the appropriate folders.

NOTE: If you manually add custom databases, you might want to make sure that you also have a [distribution_mister] section. That way you'll still be downloading the content from MiSTer Distribution together with the content from the custom database/s that you introduced.

Unlike mupen64plus, I believe that the MiSTer core only accepts roms in big endian format. Check that your rom files have the extension .z64 (not .n64 or .v64).

It would be nice to get the game working on MiSTer. Consider opening an issue on github with your findings.

Jotego's NGP core has now been released to the public. It is still only in monochrome and somewhat awkward in loading roms, but it is nice to get something out.

Indie Retro News cover many new indie releases for old systems with a focus on old 8-bit and 16-bit computers.

Most games will work on MiSTer. A notable exception is many new Atari 2600 games that need an ARM chip (see this post for a compatibility sheet).

Is there an FDS BIOS file in games/FDS? If not, copy boot0.rom from the NES folder to the FDS folder.

I have 32MB ram, can this be the issue?

Yes, Ogre Battle 64 is likely too large for your setup. As it says on the Github page, 32Mbyte SDRAM can only be used for games up to 24Mbyte in size.

The need of more RAM for the new N64 and Saturn cores finally made me decide to upgrade.

Make sure that you use the latest unstable version of MiSTer Main (dated 20231011 or later) together with the unstable Saturn core.

BBC Bridge Companion!

...as well as Neo Geo CD and Irem M92.

As of today, the following cores support savestates:
AtariLynx
GBA
GameBoy
NES
PSX
WonderSwan

...and the filename for the CDZ BIOS is neocd.bin.

I guess that the old 32MB SDRAM expansion will be sufficient for CD games, right?

I can confirm that 32MB SDRAM is sufficient for small and large CD games.
