Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

Thank you, that does indeed seem to fix the issue on my Mitsubishi PC CRT!
Can also check my consumer Trinitron (Direct Video > active composite/S-Video adapter) later this week if needed.

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

Have you tried the old Genesis core? When using the Benfei or Moread (CS5210), my PC CRT doesn't like the 320x224 modes in Castlevania Bloodlines and other Genesis games over Direct Video + Forced Scandoubler when using the Nuked core, but it works fine on the old core (non-Direct Video with the Nuked core also works fine). I'm guessing this might ...

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

It has a MSRP of 80,000 yen though ($536 USD at current exchange rate), so one could probably buy several HDFury3's for that price.

It also doesn't work for HDCP sources (not that you would need it for MiSTer, but it's nice for systems like PS3).

is the Tanita Twin Stick compatible?

I'm assuming the Tanita Twin Stick is compatible with MiSTer since it's a PS4 controller, but was curious if anyone had tried it yet. http://www.sanwa-d.shop/shopdetail/000000000074/ Not that I was planning on buying one, I hate artificial scarcity bullshit (they only produce a limited amount in each batch every few years despite using preorders).....

Re: SNAC adapter with USB on both sides?

RetroCastle does sell SNAC adapters, but I don't see the level shifter.

I assume their PS1 SNAC would be safe to use without it though, since PS1 controllers use 3.3v.

Possible Screen Rotation Bug?

Started up the Master System core for the first time in a while, and for some reason the screen was rotated 90 deg clockwise (so I would have to rotate my display counter-clockwise, which I don't think I've ever done).

I've also noticed this in R Type, so I'd like to see it fixed as well.

Might be a good idea to make a GitHub issue, I assume it's more of an issue with the main MiSTer rather than any specific arcade core.

Tried the composite blend on the new core, and it definitely blurred the image a good bit, at least on the analog output. Maybe not as blurry as a real Genesis over composite, though.

you should get a mister board with vga output

Only if it has a scaler in it. Pretty sure the OP's Benfei adapter is just a DAC, so it shouldn't have any lag.

Yes the Mister will fallback to 60hz mode for those cores on a 60hz monitor.

Nope, I have vsync_adjust=2 set and both the MiSTer's OSD and the monitor's info display shows the correct hz, and the monitor is displaying it without dropping frames or judder so it would seem to be an undocumented feature with this monitor.

Re: Image keeps going blank for 1-2 seconds on Dell G2724D

My Samsung S80A is listed as a 60hz monitor, but it displays 75hz from Wonderswan and 70hz from DOS just fine (it doesn't seem to like 50hz signals though). So you might not need to get a high-refresh monitor for cores like those.

Re: Save States Master List

It would certainly be nice if save states were implemented in more cores, particularly Genesis, SNES, TG-16, and some of the arcade cores. But it's understandable if no one wants to spend the time implementing them, as it looks pretty difficult.

Re: 9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄

Got the version of this monitor with VGA input a while back, and a nice bonus is that it will display 240p RGBS from a retro console (although the Genesis I tried showed some strange vertical line noise and fairly thick borders) if you have a cable or adapter. Obviously not needed for MiSTer, but it's nice to have if you still like to play original...
