I received my screen protectors a few days ago. Really great that they were available again. I thought they'd be out of stock permanently. I was on eBay for unrelated reasons and saw a suggestion to buy more. I have all I need, but I wanted to share that info here since several people have asked about them after they went out of stock. I'm glad yo...

The glass screen protectors that I previously recommended are available again!

I just love this community so much! You're all awesome, and this is great!

This reminds me of Mario Paint! Back when it was first released, Nintendo encouraged players to use their VCRs to capture their work since the ability to save that work the cartridge was very limited.

Considering it was commonly thought the N64 was impossible on the DE-10 Nano, development ending because it can go no further than it already has should in no way be considered a failure.

This is a triumph! I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!

Excellent work, Robert! I hope you enjoy your well-deserved break.

Unrelated but just wondering if you have to hold down the button for low gear? I thought it would work as a switch between low and high but in my case I have to hold down gear and accelerate to be in low gear and release the gear button for high gear - not super intuitive - am I doing something wrong? That's correct. I verified this with Jotego be...

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 the slot. I'm not sure what you mean. How does a second microSD card connected via USB help? You're not plugging the microSD card into any USB slot. You're using a microSD card inser...

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 the slot. Actually grabbing it isn't made any easier by doing this. I will most often manage files over the network unless doing so is going to take far longer than just plugging the ...

I guess the formatting of the ID just seemed weird to me. It looked like a placeholder rather than a valid code. I might try it without the underscores anyway.

PistolsAtDawn

;Specify the N64 Save's Cart ID or MD5 checksum, as it appears in N64-database.txt
; If you do not already have N64-database.txt, please download it

[CART_ID]
CartID = NPO___

Is that the right CartID?

I would be in support of another section for discussion. Just because there is only a moderate amount of traffic here doesn't mean there can't be some sense of community. With the addition of the Groovy MiSTer core, we have more reason than ever to start talking about software emulation end games not yet given the FPGA treatment.

SD cards, especially Samsung's, are often counterfeit. Did you get yours through Amazon? They mix their own stock in with their marketplace sellers' stock - which isn't verified. That's how people will sometimes randomly get a fake. Amazon used to have a specific Samsung Evo Select model that was only made for and sold by Amazon. Those would always...

I love this! Thank you!

PistolsAtDawn

Hmm. Well... I will not claim to be an audio expert. Perhaps you are hearing something that I cannot!

How does the PlayStation version of this game compare?

By the way, I have been listening to the soundtrack all day at work because I love this game!

PistolsAtDawn

I am away from home right now, but I saw this website linked to a similar discussion on this forum by the user "held". https://raylin.wordpress.com/downloads/md5-sha-1-checksum-utility/ The above site shows you how to check the checksum (also called the hash) of your files on a Windows computer using a free program (the download link for ...

PistolsAtDawn

You're welcome! Before you spend money (which I doubt is necessary), I would at the very least find the checksum values of your game files to see if they are different from the ones I listed. That's the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to determine if it could be a slight difference in the files responsible for your issue. If you are not sure how ...

MrsBison - so as not to derail the other topic on the Saturn, I am replying to you again here. I am not having the sound issues (I don't think) you've described. My MiSTer was purchased in January of 2022 as a complete kit from MiSTerAddons.com, and I believe that means I have SDRAM revision 2.9. I have an aluminum case on my MiSTer, so I can't see...

Hopefully sound fix Castelvania :oops: I've been playing the new "Ultimate" Meduza team release of Castlevania, and while I will not claim to be an expert on the Saturn version of this game, I have not noticed any sound issues. I've been playing with headphones on the whole time. Sound issues with the Saturn core are typically due to old...

PistolsAtDawn

Was he making this core without a MiSTer in his possession? Did he maybe just need a new one?

Really glad he's safe. I can't stand that the war is still going almost two years later.

I think I still have my NGPC buried somewhere. I was really excited to get it at the time. That is until I couldn't get any games for it. You just couldn't find any in any of the usual game stores, and then it was just gone after that. I think I played Capcom vs. SNK the most, but the other two games I had just weren't great, and I honestly can't r...

PistolsAtDawn

Happy new year everyone! I've purchased usb-c version of the screen from Aliexpress and really enjoying it so far. However, still have some questions. 1) Although the included hdmi cable is trash (already ordered the higher speed 2.0 cable), it seems that bundled black usb-c cable is decent and can potentially be some sort of a "thunderbolt&q...

Does the controller have slow responses when plugged in via USB? Might be worth a quick check to rule out a hardware issue with the controller. USB is no problem, plus this is my favourite controller, so I kinda use it everywhere I can on the regular. Works totally fine through USB. I'll do a short temporary update saying initial impressions of th...

PistolsAtDawn

Very exciting!

PistolsAtDawn

See if the controller has an available firmware update. That's solved issues like this for me in the past, but this is just a first step. Something in my gut says it won't be that easy.

PistolsAtDawn

Cool! Thank you for this! I believe I fall into the "just wants to play" camp and not the "retro purist" camp. In fact, I can't think of a single thing where I'd consider myself a purist, so this sort of utility is perfect for me. I have limited time to dedicate to playing games, and therefore spending time learning about platfo...

PistolsAtDawn

I'm really thankful for this core even in its current unfinished state. I'm also thankful for all you rascals here with your strong opinions, even if we sometimes forget to be polite to one another because we get a little too passionate about this hobby. Robert, you told us we'd have maybe one game playable by Christmas, and here we are with a huge...

I wrote the original MAME driver for this hardware (note I didn't implement the rotation used in Galaga Arrangement - is it even there now?) I own the Vol 1 PCB and had the SMT graphics ROMs removed temporarily so they could be dumped. Someone else dumped the Vol 2 ROMs. The graphics processor is the Yamaha YGV-608 - a multi-layer scrolling tilema...

today i noticed, after mounting all folders under games/, the update_all script is failing due to a permissions error on /media/fat/games/Apple-I. it update runs fine if i unmount the shares (via nfs_unmount.sh). it seems like permissions for Apple-I is set the same as everything else under games as far as I can tell. drwxr-xr-x 4 dbus dbus 7 Mar ...
