Re: Copy One Micro SD Card to Another?

This worked great but took 8 hours for 512GB:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/rdisk4 of=/dev/rdisk5 status=progress bs=16M

Copy One Micro SD Card to Another?

Would it work to use dd to copy one card to a second card for a second MiSTer? If so does anyone know the right dd command for that?

Re: Best way to Favorites from within a game?

You're right. If I go to the Core menu I can get back to Favorites by going up a few levels.

Re: MiSTer case upgrade

Instructions for installation or instructions for use?

Do you think the old case can be retrofitted? Mine is happy to swallow microSD cards.

Best way to Favorites from within a game?

What is the best way to get back to the Favorites menu from within a game? I've been selecting Reboot from the menu but there must be a better way.

Re: Persistent 8.8.8.8 DNS

Several solutions there including the above which I'll assume would be overwritten at the next update. I'll see if I can get the router to assign static DNS.

Persistent 8.8.8.8 DNS

Is using the following in dhcpcd.conf the best way to set a static DNS address:

domain_name_servers=8.8.8.8

Will it be overwritten the next time I update?

Re: MiSTer case upgrade

The newer version of the MiSTerAddons case should at least prevent the microSD card from falling in which is good. That sounds great. Any reference online? Any ETA that you know of? I find that another microsd card inserted into a USB reader makes a good tool for removing the microsd card in the aluminum case - or at least getting it ejected from ...

Loading core and ROM together

Has there been any discussion of allowing simultaneous loading of any matching core and ROM? So for example you could browse and launch console games the same way you do most arcade games without first loading the core and then separately loading the ROM. I haven't tried the NFC solution but it occurs to me that it must have this kind of functional...

Re: MiSTer on PC CRT and BVM

HDMI to DAC to PC CRT, and VGA to RGB to BVM will work optimally with the same MiSTer config?

I'm reading that I should set forced_scandoubler=1 in order to use the PC CRT (from HDMI output in this case) but will that setting interfere with VGA output to the BVM?

I'm not sure what that is.

With some games I do have to define buttons (and BTW I always or usually have to redefine the buttons each time even though I a...

Re: N64 Core

I set up a new MiSTer today and added N64 to downloader.ini and updated and the controls weren't working correctly. They worked correctly with the same controllers and no config on my previous MiSTer. Could that be an issue with the core?

Re: N64 Core

The N64 core was working for me a week or two ago but when I try it now I get a black screen after loading a ROM. I tried updating to the latest core from 12/20 but it's the same. All I did to get it working originally was add the db_url line to downloader.ini and run update_all. I don't have a N64.CFG file in /media/fat/config.

Re: Is OEM Best for N64 & NES Controllers?

It looks like NSO is wireless or USB but I'm looking to connect through Reflex Adapt for low latency so for N64 I'm thinking Brawler64 or Hyperkin Captain.

Is the OEM NES controller still reliable after all these years or should I be looking for a repro and if repro which one?
