Re: Let’s Make Amiga CD32 Support Happen (Update: It Works!)

Hi Folks, sorry to dig up an old thread - wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some simple instructions/download to get this going? I noticed the archive.org link had been taken down.

Mac Basilisk II

Hi - has anyone got this working on the Mister? I downloaded from GIT but all I get is an error regarding shared libSDL libraries and have come to a complete halt.

If anyone has this working Id appreciate a few tips! Thanks

Re: Archie Core - ArcElite Controls

Well, somehow got it working. Right clicking on the Elite icon in the taskbar allowed me to change over from Mouse to Keyboard Controls. I think doing that then enabled the Mister to let me use my joystick too. So pretty much sorted if Im honest.

Archie Core - ArcElite Controls

Hi Folks, I really want to play the "Ultimate" version of Elite, ArcElite, on the Archie Core. The game runs fine - but it only seems to work with the mouse and a few select keys for the basics - hyperspace, views and so - but I cant control the speed of the ship or steer it - with either the keyboard or joystick. Has anyone managed to ge...

Re: Roadshow TCP/IP Stack on Minimig

The odd thing here is that my WiFi adaptor was not connected to, or associated with, my wireless network - so it wasnt an IP issue - simply that I had the dongle plugged in. My RJ45 connection to the network worked fine too. The DE10 obviously had an issue with both sets of drivers being loaded irrespective of a network connection. This is an issue...

File Navigation

Hi Folks,

Quick question on Mister navigation - my Hard drive files are on an external USB drive and my core's on the SD card. For reference I am using the Archie core. When I select a hard drive I cannot change volume to move onto the external USB - is this by design or am I missing a key combination?

Re: Roadshow TCP/IP Stack on Minimig

Hi Folks, just a quick update. I found the solution in another post - probably something that needs to be pinned IMHO. Turns out if you have both a wifi dongle and an RJ45 connected this doesnt work. Even if, like me, the wifi isnt actually configured to connect to anything (I use it for Bluetooth). My solution was to unplug the RJ45 and connect th...

Re: Roadshow TCP/IP Stack on Minimig

Hi Folks,

Ive been trying to get this working but when I execute PPP_Dialer I get the message "Error: Connection attempt failed (Resource Allocation Failure, Transmission Failed - too many retries).

The network connection on the Mister is fine and I am at a loss to explain it. Has anyone see this before and can advise?

Thanks

Re: VGA Monitor Settings

Thanks folks, Those explanations make alot more sense. As it turns out, even with a good mess with the settings, my Minimig core was giving me ghosting whatever I did so I ended up using a HDMI to VGA adaptor for my CRT (which feels like a bit of a cop out, but the picture quality on my crt is way better). I am left wondering if I have a poor quali...

VGA Monitor Settings

Hi, I have hooked up a 14 inch VGA CRT to my MiSter via the analog VGA port and it looks great. I want to optimise the settings and I think the basic ones are letting me down. Its max resolution is 1280x1024 @ 60Hz so right now I am using setting #4 in the ini. However, on the MiSTer information screen it tells me that its running at 60Hz Vertical ...

Re: NTSC 1084 Monitor

Well, finally got the monitor hooked up using a home made RGB cable (6 pin DIN). Interestingly when using it with Amiga NTSC mode works great BUT PAL flickers noticeably (Im not talking interlaced mode here - just Hi-Res). I wonder if its because Im using Horizontal Sync only (for composite). Perhaps I need to connect up the vertical sync too.. Any...

Hi Folks, just getting back into my Spectrum and want to get started on something like Elite but I have to confess I am not at all sure how I save state or game - and honestly I am not sure if its just me being a bit stupid. Does anyone have any advice?

NTSC 1084 Monitor

Hi Folks, I just came into possession of an NTSC Commodore 1084. I am wondering how to connect it to my MiSTer as it has a 6 pin DIN for analog RGB and an 8 Pin DIN for Digital RGB?. No SCART unfortunately. I appreciate there is a mod for the monitor to add a SCART but I wondered, for the short term, how these monitors are typically connected up us...

Hi Folks,

Im running my Tron core through HDMI and am getting a little bit of annoying garbage at the top of the screen and a little flickering on the main sprites - is this typical for the FPGA implementation or should I be looking into my configuration? Many Thanks

Hi Folks - try as I might I cannot get minimig and Scalos to work - I’ve tried 3.1.4 and 3.2 with varying degrees of ‘success’ but all of them end in tears. Has anyone a fixed approach which gives a degree of success?

I plan to use my Mister for retro computing - Amiga mainly. Just ordered the parts but left pondering the storage requirements. Would you all recommend a single big SD card or a smaller SD supplemented with a USB hard drive?
