Re: Red Screen Issue

Yeah, it's analogue. That's why I was curious about DVI-I (which can do both digi and analogue I believe). I have one monitor that does YpBpr over DVI-I, so I figured worth a try. But I don't know if any non-CRTs use it in that capacity. Seems like a CRT remnant to me.
Have you tried VGA?

Re: Red Screen

Do you know if the monitors are DVI-I? Have you tried enabling YPbPr in the Mister.ini?

Re: Autoboot NeoGeo Core & Game

You can boot a core using the .ini file: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Configuration-Files I think auto-booting a rom requires it to be in the root of the games folder and named 'boot.rom' or an ordinal variation of that, but the cores might vary there. NeoGeo requires a few special rom files, so I have no idea if it would work. ...

Could the FM Towns Marty be implemented on the DE10?

The FM Towns Marty is a weird little system based on AMD 386SX architecture, but with a custom Fujitsu graphics processor. The system had some really neat exclusives, including variants on existing games that exist nowhere else (ex: Zak McKracken on FM Towns is completely different than any of the other releases graphically). I've looked a bit to s...

Re: Cannot get ao486 to boot VHD with MS-DOS 6.22

Did you run setup on DOS or did you just copy files? Did you use the 500MB blank drive from the repository or roll your own? What happens if you add dummy VHDs to the rest of the IDE devices? I know that some folks have had issues if some of the IDEs are unpopulated. (I know these probably seem like really simple and obvious things, but it's worth ...

Re: TG16 External Storage Project

I also created a TG 16 jewel case storage/shipping box for 3D printing. I'm not super well versed with CAD yet, but I've printed it and it works well.

Attached STL files. I put a non-logo version up on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4614822

The print takes about 7 hours on an Artillery Sidewinder X1 with 18% infill.

I'm guessing it's related to the CD ROM updates in Main and ao486. Check this thread for solutions: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1232

Some folks have luck putting VHDs in every IDE slot. I didn't and wrote up a full 'how to' on getting Win95 running.

Re: Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 and Playing Between 2 MiSTer's via Lan

I don't think, unless you can write a TCP/IP serial wrapper and client for the Amiga, that you'll be able to do that. I was literally planning on making a MiniUSB-MiniUSB crossover cable this weekend to test UART over the Console port between two MiSTers (but in ao486 for null modem Warcraft). That might work for this as well, if it works at all. I...

Re: Controller as a Mouse

The next troubleshooting step then, IMO, would be to grab a Main release from before last week, when a bunch of changes were made. Rename your current to MiSTer_back or something and throw MiSTer_20200907 in the folder as MiSTer. Note, this will cause instability with the new ao486 core likely so I'd just quickly check if it works in Amiga, then se...

This is probably silly, but is the controller in X-input mode? It's pretty easy to accidentally enable Switch mode.

Re: Networking Under MS-DOS

Well, I've found my issue. The ppp daemon defaults to <network>.254. I had a NAS on that IP so I was getting conflicts. I had to edit /media/fat/linux/ppp_options and change the last entry to local gateway(the IP of the MiSTer):desired client IP (in my case 192.168.135.1:192.168.1.198). After that, everything worked great!
