Re: 0MHz DOS Collection 2024.03.20 Released

I'm contemplating adding a setname same dir option to 0mhz downloader, where every game gets it's own config file named after the mgl. Is this feature already in main and is it even a good idea to add this option to all mgls? same_dir attribute is not in stable main just yet, it’s still only available in unstable. That said, I think it’s a good id...

What are you using on your PC to achieve those speeds?
I'll implement aria into the script, it'll take me a few days though..

I don't think that's a problem with the downloader...Black screen indicates you're missing the ao486 files in the drv folder (that uodate_all should have installed). Do you have those on your external drive? They're all present and accounted for on the SD Card in /media/fat/games/AO486/drv: imgset.exe MISTERFB.DRV MISTERFB.INF misterfs.exe modem9x...

Re: 0MHz DOS Collection 2024.03.20 Released

We’d have to update the checksum when a new archive is built, but that could easily be put in a checksums folder on archive.org for an updater to use as reference. Or something similar.

This is a very simple idea of an updater. I mostly wrote it for myself and then decided to release it since it might be useful to the community. Please correct me if I'm wrong but the problem with checksums is that you need to download the files first in order to perform a checksum.. is there a way to do this on archive files without downloading?

It will only delete mgls that are not associated with any files. You can set the option here:

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

Something odd is happening: Even with ini file set to playcurrentgame to YES, when I touch a button on controller it is loading a different game, not staying on like previously working before. Already reinstalled but same result. It might be that your controller is not configured through SAM's menu, that means one of your buttons will be a "s...

Re: MiSTer Super Attract Mode (SAM) is now available - the first game screensaver for your MiSTer!

That's right. The /screensaver method is not supported anymore since there were only a few games that flynnsbit created.
Good point with the different directory structure. I will probably move it there as well so an ini option to customize the folder makes sense

Super Attract Mode now supports 0Mhz DOS collection.

  • Install 0Mhz collection
  • Make sure "/media/fat/_DOS Games" exist
  • Update SAM and enable ao486 in corelist

Hope it works for everyone! 0Mhz is an awesome addition to SAM!

I added a new way to keep MiSTer_SAM.ini updated with the current version of SAM. No user settings should be overwritten though. Did SAM change any of your ini settings or just delete a duplicate entry? Exclusion lists should get created in the the Gamelist folder once the option is active and you click the next button. the files are named eg "...

# Only works if controller has been configured in menu (or try default button "select")

Or just launch the game you want to exclude and type /media/fat/Scripts/MiSTer_SAM_on.sh ignore in SSH. Sam will create the exclude list for you. That sounds like something that would be great to have in the MiSTer remote app. Or better still, a SAM configurable button on the controller.
