When I am configuring the buttons for a core, specially arcade games, sometime I don't need all the buttons, or my controller doesn't have enough. In those cases, to skip the button I need to press a button on the mister itself, or in the keyboard. But I wish there was a way to do so only using the controller, maybe it is but I haven't figured it ...

What is the checksum of the rom file? Does it crash randomly in the middle of the first mission?

it crashes (freezes) few seconds after start of the first mission.sometimes immediately, sometimes can take 10-30 seconds.
how do I find the cheksum of the rom file?

Has anyone tried to play Urban Strike on Sega genesis core? The game crashes just few minutes after start for me. my ROM is a good one from Smoke Monster archive.. it's such a shame because it's a good game and the best version of it.(the SNES version -including on original hardware-has very choppy low frame rate and unplayable) https://media.moddb...

Can somebody try playing the fighting game "Superior Soldiers"? I can't get it to work, it crashes soon after the fight begins. It was working fine with the older version of the core.

It crashes seconds after start of the round.happened in all of my 5 attempts to run the game.

@jca....Just ran a quick test...yes, if fb_terminal is set to 0, you don't get a terminal to run with the scripts... When the script(s) run in the OSD as in the video (when fb_terminal is set to 0), the scripts can't read input so they just continue running...this is great/ok for scripts that don't need input. @16Bitt...if you are not using a CRT ...

16Bittt

I must have missed something, somewhere along the line...but since when do the scripts run in the OSD? It's possible that the update_all script can't detect "input" when not run inside a terminal. If you have a keyboard, I suggest you try running the script from the terminal/console (F9, login, then /media/fat/Scripts/update_all.sh)...yo...

I give up: I cannot figure out what it is. I went into the settings and changed the Countdown Timer. You cannot set to anything you want, it just steps between a few settings. I choose 60 sec, saved the settings (somewhere but god knows where) see picture. Nothing changed in the ini file. :?: but I don't want to change the timer? that's not my iss...

You said the up button so I suppose you are using a controller. Is it mapped properly?

no I used both KB and controller,it has nothing to do with them.
after running update_all,there should be a count down timer,so you can enter setup by pressing up.
this doesn't appear anymore,and update_all starts straight away.

Like the one on the downloader github which is: [MiSTer] ; base_path is where most commonly installed files will be placed (cores, MRAs, Scripts, etc). base_path = '/media/fat/' ; storage_priority defines how this tool will use external storage during the installation ; of files that are designed for external locations (usually games & docs fi...

I have no idea but I would check a few things. It uses the downloader which is supposed to be in the Scripts folder but I do not see it on my MISTer. :?: It uses /media/fat/downloader.ini. Some users reported that the setting Aracade ROM DB was automagically disabled. May be something got screwed up in this ini file. I would start with a fresh one...

I cannot enter update all's setup menu by holding UP button anymore.
the countdown session never shows up and it goes straight to updating process.
I've already copying a fresh copy of the script from it's GitHub page to my SD Card.
any ideas why this is happening?

for me using Xbox contler layout for Genesis is unacceptable.it works for SNES,but not for Sega cores. I have 4 different contollers for Mister: wired Hori (Sanwa) Arcade stick for Arcade/NeoGeo, 8Bitdo SN30 Pro for SNES/GBA 8Bitdo M30 for All Sega games (and sometimes for arcade/NEOGEO/ATARI too) and 8Bitdo TG16 for PC ENGINE using these 8Bitdo's ...

Shinobi has a similar bug too..

These worked fine for me, except BC Racers has a corrupt map, at the top of the screen, when playing.

also Pitfall seems to be running at very slow frame rate

I remember playing 32X games on emulator years ago (on PC) can't remember which emulator since I moved away from all emulators long ago but I remeber it could run them fine. 32X has some cool games and some of the better/best versions of certain titles of that era. Pitfall Mayan Adventure, Mortal Kombat 1 & 2, Primal Rage, NBA JAM these had bes...

The Nintendo made controllers are just plain better build quality, I'm just concerned about their input lag. The Switch has some really slow polling that makes it a low priority, the pro controller reports a whopping 16 ms lag on Mister for instance. Don't know about the others but the M30 2.4ghz is quite good, 1ms wired and 5ms dongle. I personal...

16Bittt

but all controllers work perfectly just like a console experience,the 8Bitdo special bluetooth dongle is really neat,fast and easy connection with sync button unlike regular bluetooth dongles but you need one adapter for each controller. For what it's worth, regular BT dongles are pretty much just as seamless now. When using a regular dongle, you ...

16Bittt

There's probably similar mapping on the Nintendo controllers because they report as Nintendo switch pro controllers after all. If you focus on buttons both controllers have, you can probably make a menu combo. Maybe start+A or something, since the Genesis controller is lacking select. Or maybe even ZR+ZL since you probably don't want to use them m...

Yeah, I hear you. Right now I would love to have an OEM NES controller that both works and feels like it used to back then. My childhood ones are fairly fucked right now so I've been looking for good-quality rubber/silicone membrane replacements but very bad experience so far. Why can no one make good ones? (A question I often ask about modern d-p...

I'm very fuzzy about controllers. I can't believe some Mister owners just use a Playstation or Xbox pad with all cores and call it a day,I mean what's the point of investing so much on Mister if you don't care about controller layout and accuracy.. you might as well just use emulation..(controller feel/quality/shape and button layout is as importa...

I just checked and the joystick ID (VID:PID) is same for both pads.(I just looked at the joystick ID on Mister mapping menu,I didn't check any config file etc) does it mean I can't do anything about it and have to use a different controller instead of one of these two? If the MiSTer sees two pads as being the same, I believe that does mean you can...

I've taken the time to test this today, and can report the following: Using a SNES classic controller, and an 8bitdo M30 both connected by Bluetooth to the same adapter. Home was mapped to L+R on the M30 and to SL+SR on the SNES controller. I can activate the menu toggle from both controllers while at the main menu. When in a core, only P1 can pul...

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki/Main-Joystick-Mapping Note the information about VID:PID. These show when you configure a controller (as xxxx:xxxx).

You can map a menu shortcut to each and every controller you map, bluetooth, wired, or otherwise. I have half a dozen different controllers, and they all have a menu button set up and it works just fine. Different controllers can be recognized as the same type when they are mimicing something on USB, for example Xbox 360 or Switch Pro controller. ...

16Bittt

I'm surprised that there is no single response..

so everyone is just using one controller for all cores?
