Re: MT32-Pi and the Pi Zero 2 W

For those of us who own a real SC-55/88, is there some kind of way to connect them to the mt32-pi and get the sound from either MUNT on the Pi or the real Sound Canvas or does it kinda defeat the purpose and completely overcomplicate the setup ? :-) Pretty fan of my real SCs... As for the GUS, oh yes, that's a must for the demoscene, high quality m...

Re: Ethernet: A thought on a contribution

Hi everyone !

Would love to get my Amiga or MiSTer (when I get another one) online for Aquabyss (new online Amiga game) and IMP (Infinity Modules Player). Two contemporary essentials :-) In my memory UART was too slow / unreliable :-(

cheers !

FreeSync & Amiga Core

Hi everyone ! I do not have a MiSTer anymore ATM but I remember mode switches between interlaced & non interlaced (for ex. in demos) were interrupting the sound & leading to a delay (while the screen was switching mode). I'm pretty sure it makes no difference, but just in case : as FreeSync / Adaptive Sync was implemented meanwhile, did it ...

Re: RTG Support Picasso96 2 or 3 ?

Yep I kinda have the feeling it's not only RTG related but maybe a combination of issues, as, when it occurs, it also affects AGA screens.
Would be super cool if you could try for a few days without the vadjust file !
Take care

Re: RTG Support Picasso96 2 or 3 ?

Thanks so much for taking the time to carry out those tests ! Most appreciated & helpful !

Regarding the gray screens issues, do you get them only when using RTG ? Do you use a minimig_vadjust.dat file ?

Cheers !

Hi everyone ! Did any of you notice that using the vadjust file (provided / generated by MegaAGS for 4x scaling) did trigger some bugs in the Minimig core ? (especially in combination with RTG).

Jump! Demo 1.0 : Crash if RTG Enabled

Hi everyone ! The first demo version of the incredible Jump! game is available (for A1200 + 6 MB) ! http://amigajump.com/ There is an issue though. It crashes on the MiSTer when started from an RTG mode (on OS 3.2.1 + P96 2.x). After switching to an AGA mode : no issue. I did notice a friend starting it from RTG on his Vampire standalone and it did...

Re: Amiga RTG Support (Update: Shipped!)

I've filed a bug report regarding my random corrupt / gray screens in RTG mode but it's kinda approximate.

Does anyone here encounter this issue as well ? To make a better bug report ! That's pretty annoying as it happens once / several times a day.

Bumping this, just in case, someone has made the test meanwhile (upgraded to P96 3.x) ? I tend to get RTG crashes (after modes switches / rebooting : gray screen needed a complete MiSTer reboot) - although I need to test in the long run with DCache disabled. Would have liked to try P96 3.x to see if it makes a difference. (also, maybe v.3 supports ...

Hi !

Yes, this is LOW resolution but my eyes do not bleed anymore ;) Alternatively, you can create a 960*54...

Re: What happened to the Baud Settings [OSD]

Hm, okay, I'm not supposed to set it this way anymore.
So my question would rather be : is it possible to add a baudrate value to the OSD list ? (230400 for faster PPP with the minimig core, it currently only displayed 115200 bps -- would be super useful for imp3 online modules player :-)

Re: PPP Network with miamiDX

As of today, is there a "cleaner" way to set the serial speed to 230400 bps for the Minimig core ?

It takes quite a while to download modules in imp :-)

Hi Gibs ! Thanks for the reply !!
Are your custom shadows mask appropriate for small scaling factors, like 3x ?

Do you have some favorite scanlines + shadow masks combinations for the Amiga core, at 3x/4x/5x scaling factors ?
