Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Absolutely! I had to experiment for a while to work it out, but here's my video_mode line: video_mode=1920,48,32,80,1200,3,6,26,154128 I haven't found a weird refresh rate that didn't work natively yet, but I will definitely update if I do. Thanks for sharing this - not really having experience of editing the .ini file can I just ask a question, I...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Thanks for the tip on this one - after a lot of research I've decided to give this one a go, it's a little bit pricier in the UK but still seems like a great option compared to what else is out there.
Arrives tomorrow.

Re: 8bitdo Gbros adapter

So, I decided to just go for this since it was fairly cheap and available on Amazon with same-day delivery and I've tried a SNES Classic Mini controller and the 8bitdo 2.4g for SNES classic (both with the adapter just wired into the MiSTer because why waste the batteries...?). So far I've been really impressed - everything feels super responsive to...

8bitdo Gbros adapter

Hi, is anyone using the 8bitdo Gbros adapter ? I don't see it listed on the amazing input latency doc and was wondering how it performs? As far as I can tell it can be used wired or bluetooth and has Gamecube and Wii/NES Classic/SNES Classic ports so could open up the use of the the classic mini console controllers or even some of the third party w...

Re: Building MiSTer SMDB Packs using a Mac

Thank you BigMac2 - I finally got it working.

I hadn't done the chmod 755 so I did that then still had the same issue. Then I removed all spaces from any of file/folder names and all the " from the command and after a bit of tweaking (like making sure I was running in python3) I've just managed to get the first one to work.

No I definitely didn’t do that step so I’ll give it a go tonight.

Thanks!

Re: Building MiSTer SMDB Packs using a Mac

The SmokeMonster packs scripts appear to work on my setup, I'm on Catalina and I used brew https://brew.sh/index_fr to install the latest Python and required unix tools. Thanks - good to know that it works and I'm not wasting my time. I have downloaded and installed Homebrew. Did you need to use dos2unix on the scripts first? I'm probably making a...

Building MiSTer SMDB Packs using a Mac

Hey - I'm totally new and have just got my MiSTer up and running and love it but I was hoping to use Smokemonster's packs to organise my ROMs and haven't been able to get this to work using a Mac. I've tried using both the scripts and the GUI linked from the main GitHub page but can't get either to work (the GUI just does nothing when I say build)....
