OSD says I have MiSTer v210724 and C64 v210701. Weird thing is, I have been wrestling with this for a few days before posting and it has just now started working. I haven't changed any settings except for some SID settings. Very odd. Anyway, I won't complain, since it seems to be working now.

I have the latest C64 core dated 21-07-01 installed with the JiffyDOS ROM image and it will not load disk images. I mount the D64 file from the OSD, then press SHIFT+ESC or F7, but I get a "device not present" error. If I load up a slightly earlier version 20-11-08 of the core from 2020 with the very same JiffyDOS ROM image, then I can lo...

Yes, original NeXT hardware used Motorola 68030 and 040 processors, both 32-bit chips. There was also a 32-bit Motorola 56001 DSP coprocessor. The OS was then ported by NeXT to Intel x86 (486DX minimum required), Sun SPARC and HP-PA RISC architectures, targeting their 32-bit chips only. NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP always required 32-bit CPUs and never su...

I load the core, then bring up the OSD menu, choose the 'mount image' option, select OS image, use the 'reset' option in the OSD menu and wait. It takes a long time, but eventually the OpenFirmware boot prompt appears, then I type 'boot' and wait for the OS to boot.

Thank you, I've got it working now, this is very impressive. SunOS worked great, but NEXTSTEP is flaky. By default, it's detecting 256 MB RAM and that can cause instability, so I've booted up with the "-v config=Default maxmem=65536" kernel flags and managed to log in to the desktop, but it's crashing and logging me out and repeats in a l...

Hi, I’m new to MiSTer, but I’ve used SPARCstations and NeXTSTEP a lot back in the ‘90s, so I’m very keen to try this core. I’ve grabbed all the files from the FTP site and successfully unpacked the OS images for SunOS, Solaris and NeXTSTEP, but when I boot the SS core, it cannot find any of the OS images or the raw.img. Where should I put the files...
