My experience with the MSX core hasn't been great... I don't think it directly supports floppy images or cartridge ROMs, so you basically need to set up a hard drive image with SofaRun similar. But, I don't think it requires finding BIOS ROMs or anything like that, at least. And it's possible I just haven't messed with it enough to make the experie...

Just want to add Xanadu (Dragon Slayer II) to the list of games potentially not working. For me, it boots to the title screen, but doesn't seem to respond to any keyboard or gamepad input, so I can't start the game.

There are a few other reports of random games having issues on the GitHub issues page, fwiw.

For one thing... which version of the core are you using? There is a version dated "2017.11.03" in the official MiSTer GitHub, which I think is automatically downloaded by the update script. Don't use that one. It's very old, and to the best of my knowledge it doesn't work. As far as I know, the only working core is being actively develop...

I've seen DOS 6.22 hang like that a couple of times when a program generates an exception. If possible, you might try running in the Windows 95 command prompt; that usually seems to give more useful exception output. Is it possible that this game requires an FPU? I think the couple of times I've seen a fatal exception on program boot like that, it'...

(Editing the thread title so I can keep this in one thread.) I'm seeing a similar issue in Ultima I. It sounds similar to what I was getting in U5, but neither forcing the speaker to beep nor poking the speaker port seems to affect the results in this case. Video is here . Note that 2, 3, and 4 all seem to work okay as far as I've been able to tell...

Ooh, I did not think about missing initialization in the BIOS. Yes, I can confirm that poking 43h with that value gets the speaker into a good state. This works with the standard ao486 BIOS as well as the modified one. The same issue and the same fix pertain to Ultima VI as well, fwiw. As a workaround, is there a way to include that debug command i...

Just wanted to point out a strange issue I'm seeing with Ultima V on the MiSTer here and make sure I'm not crazy, before I submit a proper bug report. Basically, Ultima V has fairly distinctive PC speaker sound effects. On the MiSTer, a lot of these effects don't play back properly, and just sound like clicking. I was poking at the Verilog code try...

プーさん、ありがとうございます‼ I'm very happy to have a device I can play these old PC games on. Just to report on my testing with some RPG disk images I happen to have on hand: Lagoon is crashing on boot for me. On emulator, it starts with a line drawing of the ZOOM mascot, as seen in the screenshot below. On the MiSTer, it freezes with just the yellow cursor i...
