Re: VGA Monitor Settings

When I use the Mister in my VGA CRT, I used the scandoubler option (forced_scandoubler=1) so the image I get is the one from the top line, original core analog output resolution, just doubled. To use the scaler, you should have vga_scaler=1, I tried it but I liked the other option better.

Re: Antonio Jamma Interface: Key Combo Control Keys to Insert Coin/Exit/Pause Game

It might be possible to do so programming the interface: https://github.com/antoniovillena/MiSTer_DB9/tree/master/DaemonBiteArcadeEncoder As far as I know, normally you can only assign a combination of inputs one function for the menu. But you can make the same button to do 2 functions, by using alternate buttons in each core. That way you can have...

Re: Toaplan System 2 Board

I am very thankful to pram0d for these cores, 5 really significant shmups, my fav one is Bakraid. I was hoping to also have Batsugun at some point, but it looks like it'll have to wait.

Re: Toaplan System 2 Board

I have been trying the new core versions, and I didn't find any difference. Bakraid still has music appearing and disappearing, and Sorcer Strike is missing many sound effects. I tried changing regions and didn't find any difference. I have also found out you can change the bullet colors in Battle Bakraid, by pressing formation button and a directi...

Re: Toaplan System 2 Board

I have just noticed there is a Type 2 Battle Garegga that among other changes, has "less realistic" but easier to see bullets. Is there some way to make it work in the mister?

Re: Toaplan System 2 Board

In Battle Bakraid, sometimes the music goes silent, or increases or decreases volume. Anybody else experiencing this? Other than that, the game runs perfect as far as I can tell.

I ran update_all some days ago and the same happened, I got the rbf but not the mra. I put the mra manually, and ran update_all again so I got the rom.

Game plays fine, but hasn't aged well at all for me.

Re: Anyone here into VR?

Tethering only comes into play if you take your VR out of the house, or into another room. If you VR game using a PC then you will be tied to that PC, and wireless doesn't come into play if you hang your cables from ceiling pulleys. I hang my cables on VR pulleys and wires no longer get in the way, it feels like a wireless headset with minimum hea...

Re: Cave Cores Not Compatible With Direct Video on CRT?

I just flipped my CRT TV (Sony Trinitron KV21M3E, RGB through Scart Euroconector), and while the Cave cores worked, the image was a bit unstable. Changing from 57 to 60hz didn't seem to do anything.

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

Usually because those other devices connected to the screen do not run at 2048×1536, they run at lower resolutions and get upscaled by the display. If you have e.g. a computer connected, see if it will work with that resolution with the old cable — I predict it will have the same issue, since it can’t handle that bandwidth requirement. I have done...

Use lower resolution. I have this problem too and I could not find a fix to it. For me it happens in all jotego cores. I want to try a new firmware but the risk of loosing the only ipad screen I have is too much for me. The point of the screen is to use the maximum resolution 4:3 of the mister, but I do agree in such a small screen it might not do...

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

We had people that had to try 3-4 cables until they found one that worked. HDMI is a mess for the consumer, just like USB-C. The one I use is an AmazonBasics one, but there are of course many variants there too. My cable is super short since I have it connect to a MiSTer that is directly below it, so it probably wouldn’t work for you, or I would s...

Re: N64 Core Possibility? (Update! Robert Is Working On This Core!)

Carts truly crippled the N64 from a consumer perspective, it missed a lot of 3rd party attention for that reason. That had to play in to the muddy textures too. Then Nintendo repeats basically the same mistake with Gamecube minidiscs. Its extra funny trying to put the 32X over the N64 though. The most impressive showing has to be what, Star Wars a...
