Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

Anyone's MiSTer SAM break in the last week, possibly due to a MiSTer update? Starting about a week ago my MiSTer SAM kicks in and randoms into a single game, and then gets stuck there as if I pressed a button to play the game that has loaded.

edit: Weird, I recreated my MiSTer_SAM.ini and everything is working again. False alarm I suppose.

Re: Sega Saturn Core in Development

I think it's all but confirmed now, but just to chime in .... upgrading my single 128MB ram from 2.5 to 3.0 (sourced from Mister Addons) made a ton of Saturn core issues go away. Nights now has music ... that was the first thing I tested :)

Sorry I don't have a PC CRT to check. Just making sure, did you update and reboot MiSTer after applying the setting?

I did yes. I also completely blew away SAM and reinstalled it using a fresh ini file.

Does the video player use the [menu] settings in the MiSTer.ini? If so would it help if posted that?

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

I tried sv_aspectfix_vmode = Yes and am still getting the weird aspect ratio on some, but oddly not all, archive.org videos. I'm wondering if some of the videos in the playlist are in a resolution that displays correctly?

I was able to catch it in the act today and recorded a video. See below: https://imgur.com/a/TWJjDO4

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

Thanks for the tip mrchrister ... I set it to HDMI but the videos are still cutting off at the bottom and there are letterboxes on the side. Should I comment out sv_custom_vmode="" and set it to a specific setting for HDMI mode when running a PC VGA CRT, like 800x600 or 640x480?

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

I love the new sam video support for playing commercials, such a cool idea! I am having one issue though ... I use MiSTer on a PC CRT, and every time I've walked by my MiSTer and caught it playing an archive.org video, there are black bars on the top and bottom making it look letterboxed, which cut off the top and bottom of all the commercials beca...

Re: Depricated.

Add me to the list of people who are out of space on their Top 300 A0486 VHD. Tried VHDResizer which resized the volume but not the FAT32 partition with the games on it. If I were to go down the path of creating a new VHD of 24GB instead of 22GB as others have suggested, how do I get the two partitions in the same state as the original Top 300 VHD,...

Re: tty2oled Soft&Hardware Add-On (Shows Core based Pictures on a Display)

I ran the update and now I get a black screen on my ESP8266 tty2oled. The firmware update seemed to work fine, but now my tty2oled boots with the tty2oled logo but then goes to a black screen, never showing the MiSTer logo. Core logos are also not functioning anymore .... just have a black screen after loading a core or arcade game. But once MiSTer...

Re: tty2oled Soft&Hardware Add-On (Shows Core based Pictures on a Display)

Greetings. I am now an owner of the same prebuilt tty2oled from www.antoniovillena.es as some of the other posters in this thread. I would have much rather built my own, but sadly I do not know how to solder. After following the Github doc for updating the ESP8266 everything is working great with my tty2oled ... except (you guessed it) ... MiSTer S...

I'm not sure if it changed on the MiSTer side via update_all.sh, or via a MiSTer SAM update, but my SAM is now correctly traversing all of the available cores again :)

Having a new weird problem with SAM where only Arcade games are being randomly selected ... not GBA or SNES or Genesis or anything else.

Wondering if a recent update_all MiSTer update broke it. Anyone else having this issue?

Re: X68000 Beta - Updates and Releases

I'm sure others have commented here - but I've just got the latest core for this and all I get is a garbled type screen. I can use an early 2021 version of the core and it's fine, but anything after about August and it's scrambled 'junk'. I can see the flashing cursor as scrambled output, so it's booting ok. Any knowledge on why this would be? X68...

I made a video showing what happens when the SAM script fails to load a game ... 9jThyY5.mp4 I kicked off SAM from an SSH window on my PC to show the issue. In the terminal window, this is the log that appeared at the time of the failed load: /media/fat/Scripts# Removing other instances of S93mistersam... Done! Stopping activity monitoring... Done!...

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

MiSTer_SAM has been working fantasticaly for months until I performed a recent update of the script and an update of MiSTer. Now it seems like it the selection process of a ROM bugs out on any system other than MAME. You can actually see the script fail to make it all the way through the directory structure ... it stops midway through the menu duri...
