which they clearly see as a threat to Analog output. Well, I mean there's only one secondary GPIO slot so it's one or the other. And we're all going to have a different opinion on what is more necessary. If you want Dual RAM, go Dual RAM. If you want Analogue, go Analogue. If you want neither, that works too. Just don't lash out at each other for ...

Hi everyone,

I'm loving the reviews of the various DACs here, but wondered is there a spreadsheet or similar I can refer to? Maybe if some of the issues are categorised? Or is there a recommendation based on budgets/etc.?

Oh and parsing YAML from Bash is like pulling teeth on a rabid warthog.

My mind has been boggling with how that was working out - I'll have to look at how you did it at some point! It's been a while since I got heavy with Bash script.

Not quite what you're expecting, but apparently Slackware still hosts old versions that support 486SX (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/linux-for-i486sx-or-at-least-a-compiler-732181/#post3571708) A Slackware mirror seems to exist at https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-8.1/ I don't know how far you'll get with t...

Well, you could definitely follow the progress of RobSmithDev on YouTube. He got an Amiga floppy working: https://youtu.be/_MYw0lLerBA Definitely possible, just ask yourself - is it worth it to have that many disks floating around? I for one would be happy with disk "sounds" 😁 This isnt about connecting a Disk Drive to the Mister. The id...

I don't think size is such a problem. The whole Amiga core uses about 1/3 of the MiSTer fpga and it comes with 68000 and 68020 support and AGA graphics. So a Falcon shouldn't take up 3 times of this. Back in the 90's Moore's Law was truly in effect. So transistor counts were going up exponentially. An interesting piece of trivia: The original Moto...

Hey there, what core on MiSTer are you using? (Genesis, SNES, NeoGeo, etc.)? I don't know if you'll get a response on the main MiSTer GitHub but maybe I can point you in the right direction?

Out of interest - exactly how much RAM is required on the second RAM stick to run all dual-RAM cores available today, and how much for this MK core? Are we talking the full 128MB? Or just a few KB/MB in practice? Right now the size of the second module is irrelevant, adding a second module just improves the overall memory bandwidth available on th...

There is no MK core

Just to be clear, I thought this was WIP. Maybe things have changed, and life is busy!

The only "correct" answer here is "whichever feels better to you." Doubling down on this answer. If you grew up with PAL then that's what you remember! That said, I'm going to experiment with both as time goes on. I think there was an example with the PlayStation where Gran Turismo runs better in PAL than NTSC, but my source fo...

I'm guessing it's unlikely, but will there be a version of the MMS that has dual RAM? Or a configurable version that allows either Analogue or Dual RAM (or both via HDMI and a scan converter)?

[nevermind, sorted now!]

And things like http://frogfind.com/ too! Out of interest, How'd you get your Win95 to connect and then actually receive more than a few hundred bytes of data?

I was reading through the "Overclocking for Neogeo" thread and found myself reading through a rather heated conversation. It probably would have helped me to see a "CoreDev" tag to understand the opinions. Not that us users' opinions are worth any less, but the tag maybe would add some weight to the conversation. Good idea or aw...

I've seen a few news's articles around recently such as this: https://www.eejournal.com/article/intel-plans-to-spin-off-fpga-group-as-an-independent-company-nine-years-after-buying-altera/ I wonder what this means for our beloved DE10-Nanos and if/what Altera may or may not do going forward. Maybe a new FPGA dev board post-Intel? Opinions/predictio...

Thank you both, those were my thoughts either way, to keep it as I remember or have what seems to be the best possible version. I suspect I'll just go ahead and play a few games in both PAL and NTSC and decide from there. I thought maybe there maybe some slightly different programming (e.g. PAL PSX Gran Turismo ran a touch faster on PAL than NTSC d...

So I've been using the N64 core with PAL versions of games so they're just as I remember them.
It occurs to me the NTSC versions will likely give me a few extra FPS but will I be sacrificing anything in particular on any games (any exclusives granted)?

cursedverses

What do you want to do exactly? You can use MGL files to customize a core name and change default values without recompiling. For example you can have an "Amiga 500" and "Amiga 1200" MGL files, both uaing rhe same exact RBF for Minimig, but starting with differemt options, and saving settings separately. https://mister-devel.gi...

Once the core is complete (if not already) is the core going to stay true to the original or are these extra features (eg Adaptive Composite Blend) going to be added on top? I personally love the idea of a true-to-the-original core, warts and all. Maybe if the old core was made available on a separate repository, there could be a way to choose whic...

I don't get why people are going full argument. It's an opinion. My opinion right now is "Dual RAM? Nah." "Dual RAM? Nah." would have been a much better response than (to paraphrase) "If you aren't going to accommodate me, then enjoy your obscurity". I simply find that attitude pretty entitled and disrespectful to one...

cursedverses

Again, I find this a weird perspective... rather than seeing a developer releasing a new core that people have been asking for as positive, you instead view it as their way of "telling people their configurations are wrong". Do you really think they are putting in months of free effort just to frustrate people with a particular hardware ...

Well Initially I had a 128mb Analog. When Dual ram was suggested for the PSX. I got another 128mb stick, a New Digital IO board and some replacement parts for the case. If I ever want CRT I will do so via the HDMI. That's fair enough, that's what works for you :) I liked the MMS for having better port organisation (at the back or the front and not...

Who's responsibility is it to accommodate you? enjoy carving a niche into a niche...

Nopes, I'll stay with the analog board and regular memory bandwidth. Perhaps one day it'll make more sense to change or more likely buy a second MiSTer FPGA. Exactly this. I love the multisystem I put my DE-10 into. If you're not going to accomodate those of us that have bought a fixed setup (aka the setup that works with everything else) well, en...
