I still can't tell the difference between unstable cores from here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Saturn_MiSTer/commits/main/ I know the hex at the end of the filename corresponds to a github commit, but when I look at the shortnames for the commits, none of the IDs ever seem to match. What am I missing? Hmm... You can find the output on the bui...

Anyone have an issue with Turok 1 (Rev 2) (MD5 039875b92c0e4fef9797ec1744877b17) not loading if the Pad 1 Type is set to 'ControllerPak' on game boot? As soon as I change the Pad 1 Type to something else and hit Reset, it loads right up. Didn't see this mentioned here and the Vampier spreadsheet says it's 'Playable' (it is) but with no notes about ...

I see on srg320's Twitter there's a note that the 20230922 update has "Fix bios loading." I wanted to see if the boot.bin quirk was fixed, so I renamed it back to boot.rom. Tada! No more manually loading the bios. No more "BIOS NOT FOUND" error. Just boot the core with the boot.rom file in the Saturn directory again, and start g...

I'm also confused by the dual SDRAM "requirements" of late... I've only done small core tweaks to try and understand how this all works - I'm no dev. I understand the dual SDRAM is required for bandwidth, however we have geniuses like FPGAzumSpass and Jotego who can tinker and make everything work on single SDRAM... from the outside, as a...

This is @d18c7db's core. Seeing as Gauntlet, authored by d18c7db, was added to the MiSTer repository I don't see why the System 1 wouldn't be added once ready.

Hi, I have problems with this core, I have the latest update but I can't get the total sprites of the game, only sound and titles, am I doing something wrong? thanks.

This was fixed today: https://github.com/d18c7db/atari_system ... r/releases

MadDog

im in the boat of lets get something "as good as" current software emulation (with the added benefit of no input lag, original refresh rate, and no sound latency) and use what MAME has, and then make updates with the real chips as they get traced Getting the CPS3 was a stretch anyway. I'm more in the boat of "leave it on MAME until ...

@Aspie me too. Same issue with Turbo Out Run too. Same here! @Aspie, @ Bumtree Are you sure you have the right rbf? When I open the OSD the page displayed is the one with "DIP Switches" at the top and Reset at the bottom, I can go to the next page is the one with Core at the top. Try deleting config/outrun.CFG and config/dips/Out Run (si...

Not sure if Model 2 (particularly 2A) is possible, let alone Model 3... but we've said this before about many cores that we now have today. One can hope!

MadDog

Not sure about anyone else, but I've been playing MegaCD A LOT (1-2 hours daily) with the test MiSTer OS for the NeoGeoCD core, AND listening to CD audio on the MegaCD core (3+ hours daily in the background) to see if there are issues - and I can report none!

When using a non-merged MAME set and using the alternative, Performan (US).mra, you need to change line 25 . From this: <rom index="0" md5="none" zip="perfrman.zip" type="merged|nonmerged"> To this: <rom index="0" md5="none" zip="perfrman.zip|perfrmanu.zip" type="merged|nonm...

G'day! Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 what pixel repetition support offers? What it is? What are the benefits? I use filters and shadow masks like crazy to get "that retro look" on every Core. I have pretty much everything set to V-Integer to ensure the filters and shadow masks apply properly. On a few of the console Cores, I use th...

Seems the Wiki has moved?

The wiki on Main_MiSTer has been locked and is now out of date. Should the URLs be updated?

Hi, Many thanks @mikesimone3 for supporting this new game! I just get a black screen when I lunch the game. I have also tried to install the new .mra file manually but to no avail. Could someone please confirm? Thanks! Confirmed. If you build from the repo it works. The core was updated , but no new .rbf was added to the Releases folder - only the...

I can't seem to figure this core out. When I load up any game, it just shows all sprites on screen, kind of like when you pop a new battery into the real thing. I cannot get past this, no matter what button I press on the keyboard.

You'll need to grab the 'Gallop' and 'Cosmic Cop' MAME roms, then Line 22 in the Gallop MRA needs to be changed to the following to work correctly:

Code: Select all

<rom index="0" zip="gallop.zip|cosmccop.zip" md5="none">

I would correct this, but I'm not sure how to contribute in GitHub.

MadDog

Ah. That's where I forgot to check - the bug reports. Thank you, wark91. Will wait for a fix one day...

This is an interesting one. I've never come across a rom I couldn't load. I can't seem to play Shigesato Itoi's No. 1 Bass Fishing. Just opens the rom to a black screen.

Can anyone confirm?

i think there's a problem with the repo. During the build process, there are some relative paths to seem to leave the project folder. For example: Yes. You need to grab the 'Saturn' repo and the 'SH' repo. Saturn: https://github.com/srg320/Saturn SH: https://github.com/srg320/SH Put them in the folder above the Saturn-mister, and start your build....

The downloader.ini is disobeying me.

Another update!!

MadDog

Looks like the latest Shadow Mask update has removed the "Old TV" option from some of Jotego's arcade cores. I'll miss that feature. So much nostalgia! Same reason I love having the composite blend on the Genesis core.

Any suggestions for filters & shadow mask combos to achieve a similar look?

Thanks!

Does anyone know what the 登録 key is mapped to?

The 登録 key on the X68000 keyboard is often used to toggle on MIDI mode in games (hold the button while the game is booting). It's right next to the 'HELP' button the X68000 keyboard.

In one of the latest Linux updates, Sorg mentioned to run "updateboot" if you updated directly on the MiSTer. viewtopic.php?p=20721#p20721

I did update directly on the MiSTer via the 'update' script. How do I now run the updateboot command on the MiSTer to make sure it has updated fully?
