Erm...what on earth is that UI?

That's Wizzo's Remote.

Flandango

Yup. Looks like it relies on the loader...which isn't working

Flandango

The loader for the game tries to identify what emulator you are using and seems to hang. I am not sure how it runs on a real machine for comparison but if you want to at least get into the game, don't load the first program, load MI instead:

Code: Select all

LOAD "MI",8,1

It will take a while...you should see the led on mister stay on for a while.

Hey @flandango just wondering if you have made any updates to the F18 and TIPI cores recently? I am keen to get back into using these and any other cores you may be working on....:) Seriously if you need someone to do some detailed testing I am happy to help. 👍 Sorry Mnielsenau, I haven't had much free time to work on any of the cores. Thanks for ...

Flandango

For a core, that uses SDRAM, to use the other GPIO, you'll need to first make a modified Mister Framework which will use the different pins for the sdram, and of course not use them for their current I/O functions. Once you make that modification, you can recompile each core you want to use with that framework and, if done right it would work...but...

Flandango

Then use a utility that calculates crc32 checksums and you should get the 50060ecd value. Mister doesn't have the crc32 command pre-installed so you'll have to find another method. Zipping is the method I always resort to in absence of a crc32 command, as zip/unzip are usually available everywhere: zip p5a.zip p5a unzip -v p5a.zip Great Tip! It ne...

Update All for me grabbed the MRA's and the Psychic5 world rom. It didn't grab the .rbf nor the Japan ROM. The Japanese MRA still seems to start, after I grabbed the .rbf file from Github but it is missing a file. The MRA for the Japanese version has an outdated checksum or reference to a file that is now part of a...larger file. The p5a file it's...

Flandango

How can I create a script to automatically detect whether the output is analog or direct video and adjust the main menu rotation accordingly? You can't really. Outside of modifying Mister's Main to possibly detect if an HDMI connection is present and then maybe selecting a particular INI, which isn't something feasible, there is also no way (at le...

Flandango

Since you are getting the 3.3/5v on the RPI, then it's getting the necessary power. Double check to see if the SD card is still good (it can get corrupt if it's powered on and off repeatedly) and post the configuration file. Only other thing I can possibly think of, to see if the RPI is good or not, is to use a mini(micro?) hdmi cable to hook it up...

Flandango

If you have a multimeter, I suggest you carefully check to see if the raspberry pi is getting power (at it's gpio ports) while it's plugged in to the MMS and powered up. Now, I do see you mentioned that you powered it directly at one point....hopefully it wasn't plugged into the MMS at the time....I am not sure if the Pi-MMS board has any protectio...

Flandango

When first powering on the unit...do you see any lights on the Raspberry Pi?
If so, at least you got power to the RPI. Next is check your MT32 configuration. It's been a while since I built my (standalone) Mt32Pi so I can't be 100% sure, but I don't think it worked with my oled and Mister without modifying the configuration file.

Flandango

While you are at it, might as well post what is in Scripts/.config/downloader/downloader.log

Flandango

Sorry, I didn't try anything past loading the game and going just past the intro. Do you mean just loading disk 1 and seeing the initial "choose input" screen? ("Enter the letter of pointing device [...]") To load the actual game you need to use 3 disks. Sorry, just want to make sure we're on the same page and curious why this ...

Flandango

Sorry, I didn't try anything past loading the game and going just past the intro.

I tested both the Ultima image and the Zork Zero (the one you linked above), renamed both to DO files and they work each time I booted it up. I tested the following scenarios....1- Initial Load of core, 2- Reload the core (by going to OSD->Core and re-selecting the Apple II core) and 3- by doing a Cold Reset via the menu. I did it over and over and...

... it only loads sometimes... even if renamed. Doesn't it happen there?

I did not do intensive testing on it but once I named it as DO, I booted it up about 8-10 times and it worked every time.

Flandango

@Newsdee: you have to rename https://archive.org/download/apple-ii-play-it-by-year-collection-v-0.1/Apple%20II%20PIBY%20v1.0%20-%20Games%20A-Z.zip/Ultima%20I%20%281981%29%2FUltima%20I%20%281981%29%28Origin%29%5BSingle%20Sided%5D.po to .DSK, and then it loads half of the times you try. As a .PO file, it never loads. That particular image is not act...

Flandango

There does seem to be an issue with the core when booting with two floppies mounted. The 1-disk version of the game is 800k image (3.5" floppy), which the core doesn't support. However, you can convert it to an HDV image and it should boot. Not sure if the game attempts to save or not so I don't know how it will behave down the line. Here is t...

Flandango

I use MAME. The command line I use is mame einst256 -flop1 XXXXXX.dsk -flop2 XXXXXX.dsk.

Flandango

Sorry for late response. I haven't had much free time to look into it but I did get the chance to fire it up today and check out the demo you mentioned. Not displaying correctly is an understatement. I'll have to look into the cause of it and see if it's something I can tinker with. As for the border issue on the 256 side, it's not directly support...

Flandango

The cores are setup to use Quartus Prime 17 (Lite or standard if you can afford the license).

Flandango

Ok try this one.
I still need to look at it closely and see what can be done to where timing constraints are met properly each time the core gets compiled before I feel comfortable submitting it Pierco.
Oh...and sorry for the LONG core name....

Flandango

There is some kind of screen problem, possibly with the scandoubler, in 256 mode I'll see what I can do, but I don't think I can get to it this weekend. This one is a bit tricky due to having to handle two video processors at the same time (TMS9918 for the TC01 and the TMS9938 for the 256) and meeting timing requirements can be a pain, even betwee...

Flandango

Had some spare time this weekend to take a look at this core and see if I can figure out why the sound wasn't working right and I think I found the cause. Attached you'll find an "Experimental" build that, from what I can tell, fixes the sound issue. I also added an additional drive. I can expand it up to a total of 4 drives if so desired...

Flandango

Both the C64 and the C128 should be able to load the D81 images as long as you provide the appropriate 1581 rom files for the C64 (the C128 has it included with update_all).
The only difference of course, at least with the Ultima V, is that on the C128 core, if you boot it up from C128 mode, it will enable the music track.

Flandango

Glad you got it working

Flandango

And how the heck did you do this? Did you go to C64 mode? If so, how? I tried using Load "*",8,1 and I get a long running break. You cant do that in C128. No don't go in C64 mode. When you first load up the core, it should be in C128 mode. Press F12 to open the OSD, mount the Disk in Drive #8 Then either press CTRL+ALT+ALT or from OSD te...

Flandango

I haven't tried Ultima IV but I have played some Ultima V Remastered on the C128 core using the D81 image and it works, music and all. I never got a prompt to Clear Memory or anything of the sort after attaching the D81 image and resetting the C128 core...just the Loading and then black screen for a couple of minutes (definitely not 10 min though) ...

Flandango

I'm not sure what the difference is since I haven't looked into it further than what is on the website/article posted up above with the QAR files.

Here you go. Found two versions, so I compiled them both without modification.
