MiSTer FPGA Forum

That's the first I've heard of that forked core, looks interesting and would be cool if someone wanted to add some of those features into the main core who are more familiar with it.

Sounds great, but how does it work? I tried to just fire it directly on my CRT but only get scrambled image.

Try it on an HDMI display to be sure it's working right on your system first.

That file is just documenting how it works. Mappers aren't added by a specific file, they have to be emulated/simulated with code.

Here ya go

Kevtris also documented Mapper 124

It doesn't seem to be supported by any emulators that I can see.

Audio is critical for me so this is an advantage that an old CRT doesn't provide anything to me. The smooth scrolling on the scaler is pretty much unmatched given the amount of options you get with it outside of maybe 1 super expensive external scaler.

No, there is no feature for this.

Have you considered lending to a serious museum?

Most of the time doing this will mean it will sit in a basement useless collecting dust for decades.

It's currently targeting the Kria SoM platform.

Of all the parts of this project, writing Windows drivers for it have been the most painful.

Hahah, I could have predicted that.

Did you already try a new MicroSD with a new MiSTer image flashed to it and all?

Arcade: Joust 2, Inferno, Mystic Marathon, Turkey Shoot, Tropical Angel

- Updated framework to support new IO board.

Just what I've been wanting all along

Tested out a bunch (but not all), I only ran into one issue. Albion doesn't load directly into the game, the CD mount isn't detected.

EDIT: Worms also wouldn't launch, it did not detect dos4gw.exe or maybe the version is wrong for it.

New Core Release developed by ModalModule

GBMidi - Game Boy sound chip from the Game Boy core controllable via Midi.

What's better will depend on what you find out when you test it. Even from just one tv model to the next it can differ.

The newer version of the MiSTerAddons case should at least prevent the microSD card from falling in which is good. I use precision tweezers to get the microsd card out of mine, and yeah I just use ssh and SMB to administer the files on the card if needed.
