Re: Taito Egret II Mini Rollerball/Spinner Controller

That’s weird, the egret II stick worked right away for me too, just have to map it like all other controllers. Pretty sure PC too but it’s been more than a year since I tried.

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

So I finally got a StarTech HD2VGAA2 after some tomfoolery where the Best Buy seller didn’t ship the adapter for over a week and then shipped me some no name $10 amazon special instead (money refunded right away). Of course first thing I did was take the StarTech apart, not turn it on. Seems this one has an ITE IT6693, instead of the IT6695. I can’...

Re: 9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄

Any recommendations for shadow masks for this? So many options. I guess you’re supposed to match the red, green and blue order of your display’s sub pixels with the appropriate filter(RGB, GBR, BGR, etc)?

I think the only Vention adapter known to have good measurements was the one with both VGA and HDMI outputs, and that one has been out of stock on Aliexpress for a while.

Ah ok. Yeah that’s the one I was going for. I thought it was some weird regional restriction when it said it can’t be shipped to me.

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

http://tinyurl.com/dacanalysis Just wanted to say I appreciate your efforts here. Canceled my order for the Tripp Lite P131-06N (didn’t know it’s the AG6200 and that can be had for less if I’m gonna settle). Tried to order a Vention HDMI to HDMI+VGA but apparently Vention won’t sell to Canada? On their Ali Express store it’s not available to be sh...

Re: A 1.0 Verilog Version of Nuked MD Was Released

So how cycle inaccurate is the current MD core? That is, what benefits will this new one have? Sorg seems rather enthusiastic about it.

I’m just really hoping for savestates. But accuracy for accuracy’s sake is great too.

Re: Data East's RoboCop 2 Announcement

Off topic but thanks to this I found out about the USB2DB15 encoder. I wanted a solution for using USB controllers on a super gun a couple of years now, I was going to try to make it happen with a chinese micro that has USB host but never really got to it. Excellent to see I don't have to.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003762212340.html We'll see as it's also in the mail. Any update ? Sorry, forgot to update. It's just ever so slightly smaller than the screen. Vertically about 1-2mm and horizontally about 3-4mm. I messed up a bit with the application, as you can see below. I should have centered it horizontally or pushed it fu...

Re: A Frustrating MiSTer Problem Solved

Well, you can think whatever you want, but it's generally accepted that 2A is insufficient and prone to causing system instability. You had severe system instability, and could not have been pulling more than 2A from your power supply. The conclusion seems pretty obvious to me. Just put a Mean Well on the sucker, or some other 5V4A dumb brick, and...

Re: A Frustrating MiSTer Problem Solved

edit: which belatedly explains OP's problem. The charger was defaulting to the USB minimum standard because the Mister has no negotiation circuitry, and that's not enough power. It's a brainless barrel plug, so you want a brainless power supply. 5V4A, 2.1mm. I'm not trying to be argumentative but I really don't think it's a lack of current that wa...

Re: A Frustrating MiSTer Problem Solved

Glad you figured out the problem. In general people shouldn't use power supplies made for cellphones and stuff like that with the MiSTer, it doesn't have a way to communicate with the IC inside the USB-C PD power supplies to take advantage of the higher amps, so you were likely getting 1.5 or maybe less amps delivered to the MiSTer then. According...

A Frustrating MiSTer Problem Solved

I've read of some other people having similar problems, so I thought I'd post this. TLDR; a PD/fast charging power supply may cause the MiSTer to not boot, need multiple resets on powerup and some cores to crash or lose sync. I bought the DE10-Nano on a whim after finding out about MiSTer back in May 2019 ($188 CAD lol), then did nothing with it. C...

Re: 9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄

My screen (2x mini hdmi) is in the mail, can't wait. Reading the thread I thought someone mentioned not being able to find a glass screen protector. I found this one, seems it should fit:
