Re: Help With Analog I/O & Component Video Output

If you were playing with vga monitor earlier you may have changed the scandoublerfx setting in some cores. That will force 31khz output even if you have forced_scandoubler=0. You'd have to go into those core's menu and turn off any such thing. Still the menu core has no such option so if that isn't even working... Good tip and still worth a look i...

Re: Help With Analog I/O & Component Video Output

I have composite_sync=0 in my ini. There is also a new setting for SOG that needs to be set in there if you have a newer board along with flipping the SOG switch on the board. vga_sog=1 ; 1 - enable sync on green (needs analog I/O board v6.0 or newer). Thanks for the info. I'll try composite_sync=0. vga_sog=1 os only for newer v6 boards that can d...

Help With Analog I/O & Component Video Output

Hello all, I am looking for some help with setting up my MiSTer to use Component Video output via the Analog I/O board HD15 connector. No matter what I have tried, all I get is a garbled mess on my Sony FD Trinitron Wega (KV-32FV26). Any other component equipment I have tried works perfectly fine on this TV. It has gotten regular use for a few year...

Re: MiSTer No Longer Mounting My USB Drive at Startup

Welp, believe it or not, after changing nothing in my setup (aside from running "update all" every few weeks, my MiSTer is back to ignoring the existence of a USB drive for games. The drive mounts fine in Windows and contains the correct files and folders (I never altered them, I have made NO rom related changes in months). I took two 32G...

Re: MiSTer No Longer Mounting My USB Drive at Startup

I used exFAT previously and had file corruption issues with it off and on. That's why I switched to NTFS. It has been much more stable since then, for me at least. I'm used to dealing with case sensitivity issues on other unrelated setups mixing Linux and NTFS so I'm conscious of that issue whenever I add/remove/change files. As far as efficiency i...

Re: MiSTer No Longer Mounting My USB Drive at Startup

On the MiSTer sdcard do you have your games in /media/fat/games/snes, etc...? Do you have cores in /media/fat/_Console (or _Arcade/cores, or _Computer, etc...). I know there was a different method of putting your files there that some people used way back when where it didn't match this structure. Not sure if that was directed at me or FPGA64 but ...

Re: MiSTer No Longer Mounting My USB Drive at Startup

when using an external SSD there is no /games directory. I found I had to put the directories directly at the root of the USB drive. So rather than have /games/c64 on the ssd I would need /c64. When I did that the SSD content overrides whatever was on the SD card. I found no way to merge the ssd and sd card data. If the SSD has the directory then ...

Re: MiSTer No Longer Mounting My USB Drive at Startup

that makes more sense for your issue than mine.
All my ports were getting power. all non-storage devices worked fine. Even the SSD I was using blinked it's access light when the MiSTer menu core loaded as if it was being read, it just wasn't having its 'games' folder data merged with the SD card 'games' folder like it should be.

Re: MiSTer No Longer Mounting My USB Drive at Startup

yeah.
All my ports get power when I try them and all send/receive fine with a different device like a controller or wifi plugged in. It even briefly talks to the drive on boot - the access light flashes just after the menu core loads as is typical when it's working as it should.

Re: USB Hub Broken After Last Update

Ok I tried some things out. 1. I booted from the original Linux SD (which came with the Nano DE-10) and tested the USB hub. Mouse and Keyboard did not work. If the Mister update broke anything at least this should have worked in my opinion. 2. I connected the Nano DE-10's USB OTG port directly to my PC. According to the Nano DE-10 manual this shou...

Re: release_20210831 USB hub doesn't work.

I have two MiSTer setups as well. They are both using identical generic USB 7 port hubs. The Linux changes caused the hub and attached peripherals to no longer be recognized on my newest DE-10 Nano (purchased a few months ago). However, they are still recognized on my older DE-10 Nano which I purchased years ago. Per the thread below it appears th...

Re: USB Hub Broken After Last Update

I don't know if this is of relevance to your particular issue, but whenever the linux image gets updated in the main repository (which you should check beforehand as a precaution), always run the official update script instead of update_all. The system must be rebooted immediately before any subsequent write on the SD card, lest you want to risk c...

Re: release_20210831 USB hub doesn't work.

I have 2 MiSTer setups. One with the original official USB hub and the other with the latest version of the official USB hub. I have updated both of them to 210831 and the hubs work fine with keyboards, wifi dongle and xbox controllers, which I always keep connected to both. I may have a generic OTG hub or two I can test with for you. Need to check...

So, today, with my Mister fully up to date I finally installed this driver to test it out. My XBOne controller/chatpad/usb receiver are up to date as of today as well. I got the controller to pair and function in general, but I thought the point of this setup was to use the chatpad keys as additional controller buttons? I can't get any chatpad keys...

Re: Kinda sound issues with core

I have the same issues with this core and the GBA core (but no other cores). even the bios "bing" sound has sort of a reverb-like stutter as does all audio in any games. The issue occurs throughout all of my testing across both mid-to-high end Samsung & Vizio TVs as well as on full size and portable HDMI monitors with audio. In all ca...
