I still can't use this core, until my SDRAM board arrives, so I can't check this for sure.

So, where does it go?
That is the correct location

OK, my SDRAM board finally arrived, and I can confirm, that is the correct location, everything works like a charm!

Hello All - I'm new here, and to the MiSTer in general. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and have been really digging it. Can someone help me out with this core? I can't find the readme/any documentation on how to set it up. Would love to try out Super Mario Bros Special, but I'm at a loss of what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hell...

Removing the /games folder completely from the SD card, worked for me. Also, the external HDD takes some time to spin up, so I turn it on and wait a little, before turning on the MiSTer.

Thanks!!

Hello, I'm trying to browse my external HDD over FTP too, I see some people on youtube that do it, and I can't, same problem as riblad_om, if I go to usb0, 1, 2, etc., they are just blank or non access. Also, I can't see the stuff I copied on the /games folder, directly on the MiSTer. My HDD is 4TB formatted as NTFS, GPT partition type. Do I have t...

Of course, the original DE0-CV does not have DDR SDRAM on the ARM core side.

That's my problem. Ok, I'll have to wait until my SDRAM board arrives.

Thanks!!

I have I/O card. So 2nd SD is installed with disk images. Yes, F11 displays the SD Card utility. It just goes to black after selecting a disk and reload the core.

(and sorry, I meant SDRAM board in my last post)

I'm also getting black screen, but after mounting a disk and reload the core, nothing shows... already activated auto boot of the disk, and also changed terminal to basic with no disk at all, I don't get any output. Does this needs SDRAM card? Mine is on transit.

You can. Do it this way:

1. Cut/Crop the image to 4:3
2. Add this to the end of your INI:

Code: Select all

[Menu]
vga_scaler=1
video_mode=320,16,30,34,240,2,3,22,6400

Done!

AmigoMexicano

Yes! Found out on the facebook group. Trying to test it, once the family goes to sleep haha

This core needs SRAM card? The one I ordered is taking some time to arrive...
