Re: "Define joystick buttons" too sensitive for combos?

Have you tried all of the different input modes with that adapter? Pressing a certain button combo will change the mode of the adapter (d input/x input/mac). I’m pretty sure the mac mode is the laggiest and either x or d input is the lowest. Thanks, yep, I'd already tried that. The Switch SNES Controller just doesn't work super great on MiSTer, ev...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

I've been eyeing the Acer ConceptD 24" for many of the same reasons listed for the Asus. It's $300 at Costco right now, not on sale, but I've been keeping an eye on a price drop. I like the wooden base a lot.

Re: "Define joystick buttons" too sensitive for combos?

Don't know if it's any help, but you can map the SL/SR buttons as well. I just mapped menu to one of those, and it works like a charm. Yeah, that's what I ended up doing ... the only issue is remembering that I mapped it to those buttons, as I use down+select to bring up menus pretty much everywhere else. Oh well. The SNES Switch controller feels ...

Re: "Define joystick buttons" too sensitive for combos?

I'm having this same issue with a SNES Switch Controller paired with an 8bitdo brick adapter (grey). All buttons map correctly but trying to do Down+Select for Menu automatically sets "OK" to the same key combo. Haven't been able to get it to map to that button combo, with Fast Polling on or off (doesn't matter). Is there a way to manuall...

Re: Direct Video HDMI to Component CRT 480i TV

Thanks for that link Thorr, I've also seen a few that look identical on Aliexpress and Amazon.

Also thanks for the offer Tofana. I was under the impression that the DB15 connector was only on the Analog I/O board ... I have Digital boards on both of my MiSTers. Do you have a Digital with a DB15?

Re: Direct Video HDMI to Component CRT 480i TV

Just heard from J-Tech Digital that the HDMI to Component/VGA adapter has been discontinued. "Hello, Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, this device has been discontinued. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns." Kind of a bummer. Hopefully a new model or alternative comes out soon, as I only missed orderi...

Re: Direct Video HDMI to Component CRT 480i TV

Thanks. I wrote to J-Tech's store via eBay to see when they are getting stock back, as it seems they sold out a couple days ago. They're the most reasonable price so hopefully they restock soon. A bunch of similar-looking devices are also up on Aliexpress but I don't want to wait months for one to arrive from China.

Re: Direct Video HDMI to Component CRT 480i TV

As the J-Tech is currently out of stock on eBay, does anyone know if this IO Crest device is the same? It sure looks like it to me.

I'm picking up a JVC D-Series 36D501 this weekend and would like to be able to use the component jacks with my MiSTer.

Re: 8bitdo USB adapter gets stuck and registers no input after hard reboot

I have been having the same issue for months. I believe it began happening in the summer of 2020 but has gotten worse lately. Have tried fast and normal polling, upgrading to a 4amp power supply, etc. For a while I thought it was the dc barrel jack splitter with switch. Haven't been able to track down the exact issue but have had the same thing eve...

Same thing happened to me with an Edimax EW-7822ULC, using the same USB hardware board. Had to RMA it with Edimax.

Re: Pre-Feature Request: Split MRAs into folders

I just don't like the _arcade-organizer structure. I much prefer to sort the folders not alphabetically in groups or by year (who remembers which year a game came out?), but by arcade system. CPS-0, CPS-1, iREM M62, etc. Unfortunately the updater ini line I shared, while it does keep all the files where they should be, it also creates a second /med...

Luckily I had a backup. Has anyone else tried the script today?
What was exactly the issue?
Did the same to mine. It dumped all the MRA files in the base _Arcade folder, not updating them where they were.

Re: Pre-Feature Request: Split MRAs into folders

I was asking on the classic gaming Discord about this very issue today, and figured something like a RECURSIVE_SEARCH="true" option would work if there's a way to get the MiSTer Updater to simply check for MRA files in any subfolders under _Arcade. I poked around the ini file a bit, and came up with this temporary solution. If you add thi...

Thanks for looking into this! I really wish that there was a simple way in the ini settings to do this for all the arcade cores that seemingly have the same issue.

Re: No Sound via HDMI

I have the same issue of no sound over hdmi with Gameboy and some older arcade roms, but only when connected to my Benq 1080p 144hz LCD monitor. It works perfectly without changing any settings on my LG OLED B7 TV. Seems some display devices just don’t like something in the old mono signal from those cores, so my solution is to run toslink audio fr...
