Maybe your power supply is not strong enough.
It gets power from a cable I received with the pi. Do you have any recommendations for either pi or mister for suffient power. Because i either power it with pi ,with hat turned off or power with mister through the user port wirh hat turned on.

This jumper here, needs to be moved, so it connects IO6 and I/O.
The jumper on my digital i/o is connected properly. The 3.3v peg is open.

Thanks for the tip.

Unplug the Pi from the MiSTer, power up the Pi with the Pi power supply (NOT connected to the MiSTer).
Does the MT32Pi logo show?
The logo doesn't show, even with the pi turned on and the mt32 pi hat turrned on or off, without being connected to the mister.

Re: Game/ROM List for all Cores

Sure there different cart releases, but there not always that many rom versions Sometimes the US, Pal and Japanese games is the exact same rom. Hence why some roms have multiple regions in it's rom name. 10 Yard fight for example might have 5 to 7 different versions of the cart but there rom is the same for each. Early NES games are also have some...

treat it like a community sourced thing, like MP3 tags in databases already.

All of the games don't need all of the metadata perfectly filled in right off the bat. Aberu, can you please explain what you mean by communit...

This is my guess too. That it may be possible that even if the cart (outside shell is different meaning serial #, graphic, labeling etc) the rom inside is exactly the same as the NTSC title.

SG-1000 roms don't have a region issue, but do they distinguish between NTSC & PAL. even though most were released in Japan?
