Re: Taito Egret II Mini Rollerball/Spinner Controller

Potentially as an interim I could bodge together a USB converter from the controller to something the MiSTer is expecting, like a mouse with multiple buttons or a Mr. Spinner device. Does anyone know of any Arduino-type devices w/ built-in USB host ports? Couldn't find anything online so I've picked up a couple of Pi Picos 'n USB OTG adapters; wish...

That thread on Github is on fire rn 8-)
For what it's worth, I put all the input information I could get via evtest (along with the VID/PID from lsusb) into the Github thread.

Re: Spinner/Paddle not showing up as mouse on SNES core?

*sigh* looks like it's basically by design; from the Github issue: SNES doesn't support paddles at all. Also, you cannot use this spinner as a mouse because MiSTer recognizes both these spinners and allow them work only as spinners. edit: A lot of the code between spinners, mice and paddles looks very well organized across SNES, NES, and Arcade co...

Spinner/Paddle not showing up as mouse on SNES core?

I've got a 32be:1420 paddle. It's the GRS USB Spinner that goes into a 28mm hole but I believe the shortly-lived Atari spinner has the same hardware. It shows up on MiSTer's input notification as a Spinner/Paddle rather than as a Mouse. Works just fine in both the Arkanoid arcade core and as an Arkanoid VAUS controller for the NES core, but on SNES...

GBA + vga_scaler on NTSC Television issues

The GBA section in my MiSTer.ini looks like this: [GBA] vga_scaler=1 vscale_mode=0 ypbpr=1 composite_sync=1 ;video_mode=320,16,30,34,240,2,3,22 video_mode=320,8,32,24,240,4,3,16,6048 ;video_mode=320,10,20,54,240,6,8,10,6400 ;video_mode=320,16,30,34,240,2,3,22,6400 I've tried all of the modes listed but commented out up there, in hopes of getting a ...

Re: Rolling picture with YPbPr

EDIT: (even though I haven't actually submitted this response yet): I just realized that **changing the channel up and then back down** fixes the sync for SNES/Genesis games. (still get that "slow roll" with some Genesis games) Thanks Shogun, glad to hear that worked for you. Unfortunately, no such luck here; I tried refresh_min=59, refr...

Re: Philips TV 15khz NTSC TV CRT Display Sync Issues on Some Cores but Not Others

I would love to figure out what the Neo Geo video chip is doing. It didn't even fall out of sync when I switched to PAL on this TV!

Re: Philips TV 15khz NTSC TV CRT Display Sync Issues on Some Cores but Not Others

Another quick hardware stat: I'm using IO Board 6.0. MiSTer's software was updated yesterday with the update_all script. I was able to further test this "black level" theory with the Gamma curve. I created a "TestSNES.txt" gamma profile. I basically tried raising the black level until loading a new rom would immediate come up sy...

Philips TV 15khz NTSC TV CRT Display Sync Issues on Some Cores but Not Others

TV Model: Philips 20pt6441/37 I came across this problem today. Namely, that Philips TVs don't seem to get a good sync signal from some of the console cores. The most notables are SNES and Genesis. The Neo-Geo and Turbo Grafx cores (along with SMS I believe) don't have this issue. Basically, it looks like Philips TVs are using a shade of black to d...

Small Warning About Brook Zero Pi Firmware Update

The Brook Zero Pi just got a firmware update to 1.1. The biggest change is the addition of Nintendo Switch support. This would typically not be a big deal, and only a plus, but there's a rather annoying caveat that appears to affect the MiSTer: 1. The controller has 3 modes. Hold K1 while plugging it in for Switch mode, and P1 for PS3 mode. Hold no...

Viability of Wii remote with 2 light bars? (4 total tracking lights)

Does anyone know if there are any WIP projects for tracking a Wii Remote on MiSTer with dual light bars, or simply 3-4 tracking lights? It would allow for perspective correction and actual 1:1 lightgun calibration, so I was just checking to see if there was anyone already kinda running up against setting this kinda thing up. I've seen proof-of-conc...
