Re: tty2oled Software Add-On with USB/SD Support (Show Text/Pictures based on loaded Core on Display)

I'd a similar issue some days ago after finishing and testing my MiSTer-AjSTer setup. 'till finishing up the whole setup (including mt32-pi by USB cable via user port and tty2oled) I've used a MeanWell GST40A05-P1J power supply and this was working fine. But after completing the setup with the official USB hub (Y-cable from power supply to MiSTer ...

Re: Is CD+G possible?

Hi folks, I'm curious to see these running. I've grabbed some CD+G CHD files (linked from this thread) and loaded them up in the MegaCD core in MiSTer. I get music but no graphics, even after selecting the CD+G option in the CD player app. Am I missing something? The MegaCD BIOS version appears to default to is a Japanese v2.00, so I'm guessing &qu...

A little off-topic, but if your microwave is leaking badly enough to disconnect your 2.4GHz clients it may be time to buy a new microwave! I had this problem with my last oven, manifesting in the Echo in my kitchen stopping playing radio/music whenever I used it :-D

It's a TTGO ESP32, way over-powered for this job (I'm sure it could be done with an ESP8266, but it's a nice form factor and it was a decent price on Ali).

I just wanted to say thank you for a really amazing project. I got all my parts in the post this morning, soldered it up and got it running in less than an hour. Really impressive stuff. I particularly like the transitions between graphics, it adds a little bit of shine to it.

Re: MiSTer IO Board doesn't fit DE-10

Yeah, that plastic header definitely shouldn't be there on the IO board. It's standard for it to be there on pin headers that buy for building kit yourself, but shouldn't be there on a MiSTer IO board. Does it work as it is? If so I'd be tempted to add some spacers between the brass stand offs and the IO board to give it some extra support and leav...

Re: HDMI CEC and the MiSTer.

The CEC blocker adapters are essential if you're having ARC issues with your MiSTer and AV system. There's enough back-voltage from the TV to my MiSTer that, even with the PSU disconnected from the MiSTer, the MiSTer gets enough power to partially operate some components and messes up the ARC/HDMI signalling and somehow blocks audio from the TV to ...

Re: Reset MiSTer using a USB controller button combination?

It's also possible to wire you own reset button without having an IO board. Pretty much everything but the VGA output of the analogue IO board can be access directly via the GPIO pins on the DE10-nano mainboard:

Re: Reset MiSTer using a USB controller button combination?

There's resetting the core and resetting the MiSTer, which are different things.

It's always worth searching the forums (or Discord) before you ask ;)

Re: Lets actually try Hybrid Emulation

The mister process typically uses ~100% of one CPU core on the HPS side. That can vary, depending on what it's doing, but input polling and disk IO are very processor intensive. This is in part due to Sorg never intending anything else to be running and has caused problems in the network throughout testing that I did for loading large disc images o...

This is in no way a guarantee that a wifi adapter that matches any of this will work, but should help inform you as to whether it *might* work. NB. this is only valid for the MiSTer release 2103...

Re: Problem setting up mt32-Pi hat

Where's the "noise" coming from? The mt32pi should be sending it's audio output back to the MiSTer over the USB cable, and MiSTer mixes that into it's regular audio output via HDMI or whatever you're using on your IO board. You've got an IO board and the MT32pi connected to the User IO port that *looks* like a USB port (but isn't), haven'...

Because *most* Bluetooth headphones incur about 0.5-1.5 seconds delay between the audio being sent and it being played back on the destination device. If you're listening to music you'll never notice this as it doesn't need to be in sync with any video on your screen. But if you're watching TV or a movie on your device you'll soon notice that the a...

Re: Old article regarding FPGA Pentium

To try and put into perspective: the 486SX which we have in ao486 uses 1.2 million transistors, the 486DX (with FPU) has 1.85 million transistors, and the first P60 Pentiums (basically two 486DXs on a die) had 3.1 million transistors. And as dshadoff has pointed out, the current ao486 core is a tight squeeze!
