Still setting up my shiny new Mister. Realised there's also an MPT-03/Arcadia core, which is the very first "touch" with anything video game related in my life ❤ Unfortunately the Arcadia core does not even show the menu, when hooked up to a Sony BVM CRT :( All the other cores see to work just fine. Is there anything I can do to get this ...

The offset options in the OSD seem to work very nivcely, somehow I had not noticed those. Sorry

Latest Mister and cores. 2 pcs of daemonbite controller based 8-button arcade sticks. I'm really sorry, but for the life of me, I cannot grasp how I should get both controllers mapped, so that I can actually play arcade cores, which have a separate Start button for 1 player and 2 players, in 2-player mode. I have tried both system wide mappings and...

Thanks, actually all the computer Cores seem to autocenter very nicely, but some of the horizontal arcade cores are "way off". This happens both using RGB and separate sync and the same signal converted to Ssnc-on-green and configured properly on the BVM. Weird. I did not realize there would be centering options in the core's OSD, I'll lo...

Just noticed that the horizontal centering is quite different between cores. On a Sony BVM some cores are almost 1/3 of the screen to the right while some cores are beautifully centered with the same BVM settings.

I haven't seen any autocenter option anywhere, but that does not mean it would not exist

For the moment OCM doesn't support OPL4 maybe someday.

Ok, that explains it. Thanks for the info

Sorry, second post for today, but after this Ill keep silent for a while

I presume the current MSX core does not have OPL4 support, right? At least I cannot find anything related anywhere. The cool new MSX2+ adventure game Sales Discontinued requires OPL4 to work

It runs roms directly, you can also load tapes.

For MSX2 games the only way is to make your own vhds or update the one you have.

Ok, I'll update the VHD file Thanks for the help

Mister runs like a dream, but I realised that apparently it's at leat a bit different regarding updating the files for your MSX core, when compared to e.g. Amiga core or AO486, which both use MisterFS.

Is there any other way to add files to my MSX core's boot.vhd, other than update the boot.vhd on my Win10 computer and upload it again to the Mister?

Woops, sorry. I see what you mean. This is specific for only a few cores it seems. Track&Field is one of them - apparently the mapping of keyboard controls is seen by the game as player two input. coin and start etc do work, but the left/right/center buttons on keyboard are then assigned to player 2. And player one is stuck with the one atari ...

Try mapping both keyboard and joystick from within the core. MiSTer will store the mapping for your joystick, it will not delete it when you remap again for the keyboard. It really works. I use atari one button joysticks as well. Sorry, but for some reason it does not work at least for Track & field and DDII. I noticed that Track & field w...

It's pretty straighforward, albeit slightly confusing at first. Map joystick and when finished mapping, simply remap again using keyboard only. Your joystick mapping will stay intact and you can use them both at the same time. Thank you, unfortunately I cannot get it to work for some reason. This is what I do: 1. I first map the joystick (one butt...

My Mister works perfectly, but I don't understand how can I map two different controllers at the same time? I mostly use Atari-style joystick with computer cores, but arcade cores require way more buttons --> I'd need to maps some kays on the keyboard in addition to the joystick already mapped. Could some one walk me through how to do that? Current...

Hmm, sorry, not quite sure, what you meant. Should I add a specific display configuration settings in Mister.ini for the favorites script, e.g.: [favorites] vga_scaler=0 fb_terminal=0 vsync_adjust=1 video_mode=512,38,66,64,224,12,20,6,10689 Not quite. You'd still leave it is [Menu] not changed to favorites. If there's already a [Menu] section in y...

Been tinkering with my shiny new Mister setup, and I have to says it's a totally awesome piece of hw/sw 💪 I'm thinking of buing two separate (and wired) arcade controllers and there are plenty of options apparently. I've built some controllers back in the day, but would really like to have a (pre)assembled ones this time. The question then moves on...

That would be a dream come true. Thank you soo much, no matter what happens in the end 💪 Unfortunately it sounds like I can't ever make it work with the default mister setup but you can try set these settings and see how it goes. See the third point down: https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM#features Let me know if that doesn't work and perha...

Sounds like a totally awesome script. Just tried it, but I presume it requires higher than 15Khz resolution to work? At least I just get a brief flash of text on the screen and then nothing. fb_terminal=0 is there in the Mister.ini. Running a Sony BVM, so no vga resolutions available 😢 I will look into this. I don't actually own a CRT or know much...

Ah, did not know the disabling of the basic stuff. Works like a charm! Thank you soo much

Running the latest version and tried with .atr and .xex. The game seems to load, but ends up with black screen and stays there no matter what

Any ideas, how to get that running?

Thanks!

It's a multi load game, handling of which on this core warrants further investigating. I've had problems with it for some time. You can grab the disk version (from Spectrumcomputing.co.uk, for example) and use it in the +3 mode, it works fine. Well, sort of...it's a slideshow. Changing core speed to 7Mhz makes it actually playable. Thank you 👍 Man...

Hi, setting p my mister and just transferred lots of games to the sd card. I then tried ZX Spectrum core and one of the famous (back then) 128k games, e.g. Outrun. For some reason I cannot get it to work, tried .sna. z80 and .tap. It always loads just fine, I can set the controls, but after trying to start the actual game, it drops to the "bas...

I had two MiSTer.ini files one configured for the BVM (analog out) and another for the PC CRT (HDMI to VGA). And switched between them within the menu depending on the monitor being used (there is also a keyboard shortcut). I've attached the two ini files one for BVM and one for the PC CRT they have the extension "doc". Name one of them ...

Ok, thanks for the info Could you describe in detail how you used the different ini-files/display in practice?

Building a Mister setup gradually... The plan is to run horizontal cores on my Sony BVM20F1E and vertical on a linedoubled VGA CRT on its side.

Is it possible to force line doubling only on the other output (VGA or HDMI) or would it even be possible to force it per arcade core?

Thanks in advance

Is there any 4:3 lcd, that would be 50Hz tolerant and also available as new? I'd say there isn't :/

1920x1440 is pretty close to the resolution limit on Mister. Obviously you can't output 1920x1920 with the current scaler chip. 1920x1440 is of course sufficient for 4:3 horizontal games, maybe you can output 1440x1920 for the vertical but you'd need to add that line to each individual vertical arcade core. Aa, ok. Thanks for the info, did not thi...

Hi all, been following Mister right from its beginning, but still pondering the ultimate setup, I should get me. I currently have a BVM20F1E in good condition. As you probably know hat's quite a beast in many ways :) I'm really struggling with the space here and maintaining the CRT's is a real pain in the long run. I've been following the discussio...
