Re: Best Controllers to Use?

Is there a good 2.4ghz playstation or xbox style controller for MiSTer? I currently use 8bitdo M30 controllers and love them.

Re: VHD works on MiSTer, but can't be mounted on my PC?

My Windows 98 ISO did not boot without the boot floppy.

Re: VHD works on MiSTer, but can't be mounted on my PC?

This topic really interests me. You can't just copy the files from one vhd to another and have it boot. The new vhd will not be setup to be bootable. The new vhd needs a mbr (master boot record). I won't be able to try anything until Wednesday or Thursday night. These are the steps I would try: 1. Create new VHD 2. Format the new VHD using fdisk. D...

Re: VHD works on MiSTer, but can't be mounted on my PC?

I use 010 Editor. It has a 30 day trial. Open a mountable vhd and compare it to one that won't mount. It makes me wonder if fpgafan used a compression tool or something.

Re: VHD works on MiSTer, but can't be mounted on my PC?

I tried to inspect a fpgafan vhd in Hyper-V and I get errors as well. I don't have time to try, but you could use a hex editor and compare the headers and footers of a mountable vhd to a fpgafan vhd. I'm guessing that the mister might skip some of the header when mounting.

Re: Multiplayer Family Games

Thanks @Jimi399. Talking about Secret of Mana. I found a 3 player Rom hack for Trials of Mana: https://www.fantasyanime.com/mana/som2downloads.htm

I remember beating Secret of Mana with friends as a kid. The memories of that game are amazing.

Multiplayer Family Games

Hey friends, I'm looking for more family multiplayer games. We have a lot of fun playing Super Bomberman 3 on the SNES, 4 player and even 5 player with company over. We play it almost every night and even my 5 year old is getting competitive at it. What are some other good multi-tap games to play as a family on the MiSTer? We also enjoy playing Son...

Re: Must Play Metroidvania Games

@C-R-T - Ufouria looks amazing. I had never heard of it. I had forgotten about Goonies 2. I'm adding both to my playlist. @malice - I had no idea that Cave Story was ported. I love Cave Story, I'm going to give the port a try. @hiddenbyleaves - I'm playing Popful Mail now. It's an amazing game. @darksakul - Faxanadu looks amazing. I remember seeing...

Must Play Metroidvania Games

I'm on a Metroidvania kick since I got my MiSTer in March. I've beaten Metroid II, Zero Mission, Castlevania II English Re-translation (+Map) hack, Circle of the Moon and Wonder Boy III (actually I'm playing Dragon's Curse on TG16). I'm almost done with Harmony of Dissonance and I'm wondering what I should play next? I will complete Super Metroid a...

Re: Why I hate emulation.

I've tried to play Yoshi's Island emulated for years. I've tried it with ZSNES, SNES9X, all the retroarch cores, raspberry pi, etc... I was never able to get into the game. It felt like the SNES just wasn't powerful enough to handle such a complex game. I guess that I never played it as it was intended. My friend was over when I got my MiSter and I...

Re: devil's crush ball sticks to flipper

I played the game for 30 minutes last night with zero issues. I used the same rom on SD card, HDMI and 128mb SDRAM.

Re: devil's crush ball sticks to flipper

I'm new and this is my first post. Sorry if this is a newb answer. Could it be a bad rom? Is the rom zipped?
