Does anyone know how I could manually add the feature to just auto save to the SD card when SRAM is written to? Just about every console flashcart does this automatically and I've never had an issue with cards and they're so cheap at this point I really don't care as I don't believe it's even an issue. I'd just like this ability myself but unsure o...

One consideration: DOSBox-X has Fluidsynth and MUNT built-in, so you can get the same result as the AO486 plus MT32-Pi, with *probably* better stability. I don't particularly trust the AO486 core. Thanks for the suggestion, I tend to avoid dosbox though because of how inaccurate it is with speed, but for a game like this I suppose it would be fine...

2560x1440 (widescreen 1440p) now also seems to be supported. That should allow the GBA to integer scale 9x So try setting video_mode=14 in the ini file if your 4k monitor supports it. I remember when this was found out using an ini setting, but this would randomly crash my mister, but I was using the stock power supply then. Is this still an issue...

FeelsDuckMan

Yea it seems to boot fine, but I'd hate to commit to a playthrough to have some sort of game breaking bug. I'll give it a go.

FeelsDuckMan

How is the performance? I was thinking of doing another playthrough and would like to try it on the mister if possible vs using DosBox. I didn't see it on any compatibility lists nor in the top 300 games release.

I have DS5 and is not good for using. :-( Disconnecting or not connecting after start, after Reset it still press Down on D-pad and many more. Bluetoot connection is poor and has disturbing lag. I am using it with USB cable. Lag is better. I preffer DualShock4, has much better behaviour. Yes. This does not seem to be a great controller to play ret...

Have you tried turning on/off sync on green on the I/O board? Also did you set YbCbCr=1 in the mister.ini.

EDIT: I see you did set the INI. Try the Sync on Green switch on the I/O board.

Picked a Dual Sense 5 up today. Has anyone else experienced disconnects via bluetooth if the controller stays idle for a very short amount of time, like 30s-1m. Mine disconnects if I'm not constantly pressing something. Is this a general bluetooth setting on the mister that can be changed or is it a Dual Sense 5 issue?

FeelsDuckMan

It’s actually pretty easy, and in my experience there is no noticeable latency. https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3527 The one thing preventing it is there seems to be a bug with MiSTer that cuts off a small portion of the right side. Not sure if its been fixed. Someone should file a github report so it will get the proper attention ...

Alright, understandable. Thanks.

FeelsDuckMan

Would it be possible to add the image rotation to the analog output? It'd be nice to play the vertical arcade SHMUPSwithout having to flip my crt to its side. Is this something that can be done feasibly?

FeelsDuckMan

Does this core still need darksoft roms or does it finally support decrypting original roms?

Good to hear, nice that I can use the old method until the shadow masks get implemented. Cheers.

I wouldn't expect video filters to get much more sophisticated on the DE10-nano; it has no GPU. Remember: the cores don't even support basic bezels/borders because they'd be too taxing. Yea, I began to realize this after making this thread and looking into how filter files were created. Unfortunate, but I'm still happy we're able to enjoy what we ...

The first question is rhetorical. But I guess that went over your head. My reply addresses the ridiculous of your request. Composite Blend and Gaussian blur isn't the same as dot crawl. One simulates the color blending on a CRT, the other (what you asking) is noise on the line. Just convert your video down to composite video and use a dollar store...

Just tried Reshade Retroarch CRT effects on MAME and it almost makes me think of selling my Mister. Totally atmospheric, it feels like gaming behind glass. I love all the crazy artefacts it can do. The rolling screen distortion is crazy! Yea, I'm guessing it won't be possible because the Mister doesn't use shaders to simulate the affect, just filt...

LCD grid look can be done with the normal filters for about 2 years now. Those filters appear to be gone from the official repository where update_all.sh grabs them from, I'm guessing it's because the shadow mask filters were implemented. When using the update script, all those LCD filters are now missing in my filter folder. So I'm unsure where t...

Been enjoying Tonuric's Gameboy Color Light LCD look, looks great to me on Genesis. I just wish the GBC/GBA core was updated so the so I could use it on an actual handheld, haha.

Topic says it all. I'm curious if it's possible to replicate the NTSC dot crawl effect using Mister filters.

Hello, any ETA on when GBA (and some of the Arcade cores) will be getting the additional Video Processing filters that were recently revamped? Right now the GBA core works with the default filter but you cannot select a shadow mask, which is unfortunate because I really want that LCD grid look when playing GBA. I tried looking at the source for the...

Would this be possible to implement? I got a lot of animated pixel art gif's I'd love to use a wallpaper for my Mister. Apologies if this is already implemented as I tried to use a gif and it did not work.

Do you have the MD5 off of each ROM (the working and non-working)? Do the glitches occur on original hardware? (JP MegaDrive) I have a JP cart of this and it does not happen on a real megadrive. I've had this exact same glitch happen when using the mister onboard DDR3, but using the SDRAM solved it. Unsure what caused it in this situation, I guess...

FeelsDuckMan

I only had that issue when I wasn't using SD RAM module. If you use the onboard mister RAM this can happen. Make sure that core is set to use the external SD RAM.

It's strange. I don't get the disconnect issue as long as I am continually pressing buttons, but even something as short as a 20 second period where I don't, it happens as close as 4 foot to the device also, and it will disconnect and then try to re-sync. I was playing on my bed a good 10 feet away and not once did it disconnect while I was continu...

Does Blood and Shadow Warrior not run properly? Surprised these two are missing in a Top 300 DOS compilation. Anyways, thanks for the effort, I've been using this and playing Sim City 2000. I feel like a kid again. Cheers.
