MiSTer FPGA Forum

That looks like a great one for CHD files. I don't see any BIOS files there though. I tried searching but nothing relevant came up. Where do you find those?

Got it. In that case is Saturn compatible with the gamesmenu script? I don't think gamesmenu would know how to match rom and bios.

BTW is there a favorite source for Saturn stuff on Archive? I'm having trouble finding something that doesn't nearly always end in a failed download.

My Neo Geo roms aren't zipped but each game is a folder with several files in each folder like you described. Is gamesmenu incompatible with that layout? I should find individual .neo files instead?

I've definitely run those scripts several times as I've tried to get this working. I remember there is a Generate Menu option in the gamesmenu dialog and I've also run that several times. Does Neo Geo work for you with gamesmenu?

Is there a separate BIOS file for each game? Where do they go?

I'm trying to play Saturn games for the first time. I dropped a few CHD files on the Saturn folder but trying to load them I get an error something like CD BIOS missing.

Not sure what you mean. How do I rerun the organizer?

The Favorites and Gameslist scripts work great here except with Neo Geo. They don't seem to pick up those games and instead act like the folder is empty. Any way to fix that?

This worked great but took 8 hours for 512GB:

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

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?

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

Instructions for installation or instructions for use?

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

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.

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.

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?

Games Menu + Favorites FTW! So cool!

Ok I'm hearing about the Retro Castle case which should be available soon.

I'm using the misteraddons enclosure but access to the SD card is difficult. Is there a better case?

I'm actually using the Favorites script. How can I use it to launch a game this way?

Working great!

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?

Shouldn't MiSTer scale the HDMI output for the PC CRT regardless of the core resolution?

Can I connect the analog IO MiSTer to a PC CRT and BVM at the same time and play on one or the other without changing configs?

Ah yes, computer cores. That makes sense. Weird that some old arcade cores are VGA too.

Are there any cores for the MiSTer with 31kHz games suitable for a PC CRT?
