Re: Problematic Game Typed From a Program Listing

@emuola, Just tried your game and it works on my side. I'm using the core VIC20 from the 31th march of 2023 on a VGA LCD monitor, I can enter to the game and control the player between the cars with the (Z) and (/) keys. Just noticed that I had to set [Screen center] option to [None] otherwise the screen is flickering Thank you so much, it was the...

Problematic Game Typed From a Program Listing

I'm trying to run this game typed from the legendary Finnish MikroBitti magazine. It works with a real VIC-20 of the fellow who had typed it and kindly sent me the files, but with the latest VIC-20 core my IPS Dell loses sync and says it cannot display the image. Other VIC-20 games I've tested work just fine. How could I get this working? What coul...

I would first have a thorough read of the wiki and specifically the configuration of MiSTer.ini and display specific video modes.

You should also check out atract17's repo here, there is a preconfigured .ini for 1280x1024 LCDs with integer scaling here.

Thank you so much, I hadn't found that repo before πŸ‘

Best settings for 19" 1280 x 1024 (5:4) IPS?

As there are tons of things one can adjust, I'd need some advice how to get the best out of my display, namely Dell 19" 1280 x 1024 IPS. I've tried a lot of different filters and settings, but I'm kinda unsure if I completely missed something here :oops: Something I's need to change in the .ini?

Sorry for being a complete idiot, but for the life of me, I cannot figure this out. I found official Spectrum 128k etc manuals online, but they claim the DSKs should "just start" after reset - but they won't.

PC/XT: pcxt31.rom Not Working, Others Are?

I ran the Python scrips and the roms were generated. For some reason if I specify the pcxt_pcxt31.rom as the rom for IBM and choose Reset and apply, the core does nothing. With e.g. pcxt_micro8088.rom it does reset and then start. What could be wrong with my configuration? :oops:

Should something like this happen again you could always pull out the SD card, boot your computer from a Linux installation USB stick and use the live USB environment from that to do your edits in the SD card.

There is no problem accessing this file but you have to do it under Linux. SSH into MISTer and vi /etc/dhcpcd/conf or whatever editor you want to use. It is what I did to set my MISTer in fixed IP.

Found this, but where is the /etc/dhcpcd.conf on the SD card? I know my way around Linux filesystem, but how can I actually access it? Network configuration is now done with dhcpcd. You will have to modify the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file to setup a static ip. Add something like this on the bottom of the file: interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.0.XX...

Are you sure your monitor has its internal options set-up to respect the original aspect ratio sent to it, and not stretch it?

Re: KFC 15" CRT via HDMI-VGA adapter and scanlines?

If, as I understand, this KFC is a 31KHz PC monitor, you can just use the Video Processing Filters from the OSD. I'm stuck with a VGA PC monitor as my only CRT atm and this is a sort of compromise (I use slightly tweaked PVM / JVC presets). It's neither fish nor fowl really, if we are talking serious CRT addiction ( I really miss my consumer 15kHz...

...is that Kentucky Fried Chicken? :p 480p scanlines are tiny, even when visible its never as honking big as 240p. Standard Definition sets were aimed at 480i, the gaps in 240p are visible mainly because it was never a resolution intended by the TV industry.
