It's easy to edit SVG graphics in Inkscape, and adding a drop shadow is simple. I did some tinkering and found that it looks great, but the core does not show the shadows once compiled. I think the rom file is looking for specific elements in the SVG and adding the drop shadow layer breaks it. Sounds like you're close. Hopefully there's a solution.

I noticed Gameboy has an option for all the sprites casting a shadow. I'm wondering if that could be done for GNW core as well? Game Boy renders in a square pixel grid, hence the particular mask filter producing that "drop shadow" effect has been possible (that's why it requires both horizontal and vertical integer scaling for it to work...

The PNG background images have fake shadows added. SVG is not possible to do shadows, since it's vector graphics. It's a good effect to simulate a real Game & Watch. Since others have already compiled those I focused on the no-shadow version. On a real Game & Watch that I have, the shadows are dependent on room lighting. Sometimes they are...

Search for "18 Game & Watch Games For Mister FPGA" on the archive to get an all new updated pack. Backgrounds are new (a bit higher resolution), no borders. No shadows in this one. Mario, Mickey & Donald backgrounds tweaked so the dual screens match up. I didn't know what you meant by "no shadows in this one". I didn't ...

That's strange, it's not on my system after several updates now... In my update all settings, I selected to download the DB9/Snac versions, might that be the cause that I don't get the core automatically? I'm afraid I don't know much about any script, just downloaded some "update all" script and it's worked for me. Hopefully someone more...

Can someone enlighten me where to find it? Does it have a special name or do I have to activate something special? Sorry ... Do you mean where to find the core after it is installed by the update all script? Mine is under consoles and it has the name "GnW" right below Genesis and above Intellivision. Sorry if I misunderstood your questio...

Sounds great. I'll be sure to add this file to my game and try it. Saving without a hassle will certainly make the game just about 100% playable without problems, except for the mouse freezing before leaving the apartment at the start of the game. I finished the game a few weeks ago, not sure if the dart game in the pub might need a special hand, a...

Possible solution, but not by changing any settings. I was using the keyboard keys to move around, namely Home, Page Up, Page Down, End and Insert and Delete to take actions. I did not use the mouse because I knew from multiple tries with different configurations that it always froze. So, once the computer turns over control to you and you are in H...

you can try changing some things around in the ao486 core using https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_MiSTer/blob/master/releases/drv/sbctl.exe sbctl.exe: set Sound Blaster configs. Supported: I5,I7,I10,H5,H1,T4,T6 then set blaster= in your autoexec.bat to match it. These kind of lock ups can also be memory related to make sure you are excluding /...

First post. I searched the forums and found two posts related to my problem and neither had any solution, so I thought I would bring it up here with some settings I tried and the results I got. If I'm posting in the wrong forum, sorry, I tried to do my research and newbie forum seemed not the place, ao486 seemed like the right place since the game ...
