MiSTer FPGA Forum

W4y9wFD.png Generally what I've seen in the community is that many of you are not very familiar with Linux and the shell. That is obviously fine, considering you did not build a MiSTer to play around with Linux necessarily. Regardless, perhaps there is something you would like to do on your MiSTer that requires a little more knowledge? Maybe you a...

Nice tool! i had not heard of it before so I will go ahead and install it on my servers. It's also available via Entware if you've got that installed on the MiSTer. Alternatively, you can also do this yourself by running du -sh <folder> Though.. it will not provide you with a nice interface, and you would have to script a little thingy to get a nic...

Some notes about the philosophy of this project: Why do I want full linux? Shouldn't I just get a raspberry pi? Honestly, I don't like appliances. Each to their own. I prefer appliances that are easily rebuilt/re-flashed/not special/etc. If i want to do linux things I have 3 PCs capable of running a heap of VMs and 3 Raspberry Pis here. My only co...

On Google Drive, the binary still downloads just fine on my end. You may have to reinitialize the entire thing by deleting the ".gd" folder and such. Or you can manually wget the binary from here https://github.com/odeke-em/drive/releases/download/v0.4.0/drive_armv7 . You can put this in "/media/fat/linux/" and rename it to &quo...

It's a cool project, but I think it doesn't add very much to the MiSTer. Most packages you want for CLI use are there. For anything missing you can use Entware (it works just fine). I got ZSH set up with "oh-my-zsh" and added a little script to open a screen with a shell via the MiSTer menu itself. That covers most of what I need for quic...

I've ordered a MiSTer and it's on the way, so I'm yet to experience it in its full glory but I'm reading up on what you can do what it. Apologies if my comments here seem ignorant. Would it theoretically be possible to create a hybrid N64 core? E.g. doing as much as you can within the FPGA and offloading some aspects to the ARM processor for softwa...
