I think I'm getting close. The last step I need to do according to config.txt.example is to "Enable fbcp-ili9341 in /home/tty2rpi/.bash_profile". I found the file in MC and went to edit it. There is only one line that is commented out. Do I just need to remove the hashtag on that line or is there something else that needs to be done? By ...

I updated tty2rpi on the RPi this morning using the update_tty2rpi.sh script. I noticed that it overwrote the custom graphics I had placed in the tty2rpi-pics folder. Is it possible to prevent that somehow or do I need to create a new folder and then change the path TTY2RPIPICS="New Folder" in the tty2rpi-user.ini file? Yes, just use the...

Yeah, that definitely goes to the "I assume that you are already familiar with setting up a Raspberry Pi". In the standard setup/installation of the OS there is missing anything to compile something. I left this out to save time and space for those who aren't using a framebuffer device and therefore haven't a need for that bunch of softw...

I've still got the MiSTer setup to work on as well as the settings for the smaller display I'm using which utilizes the GPIO pins. I didn't find an exact match for this size screen in the config.txt.example file. The one listed below seems to be the closest. Should I be compiling that driver and using these settings in the config file? NoName MHS ...

Hi all. I've finally gone down the rabbit hole of setting up a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W so that I can use tty2rpi on a 3.5" 480x320 display. It has definitely been a bumpy road so far. I have Unifi network equipment and the WiFi chip on the Pi Zero seems to be a little picky about my setup. It is 2.4GHz only, so I had to place it on a VLAN I hav...

Do you happen to know where those per core settings are stored on the SD card? It would be nice to be able to fix them in a text editor vs. having to go into each core while it's running and make the updates.

They are in /media/fat/config, but are binary and subject to change with core updates.

OIC. Good to know. Thanks!

So I swapped over the analog IO board and there were still issues with getting a stable image on the SNES, Genesis, and Sega CD cores. I even connected MiSTer to another Trinitron set I have and the issue was the same there. I did a Google search and found this EXTREMELY helpful post you created awhile back which goes through some setup steps for C...

I would bet the problems are direct_video related. Each core produces its own super resolution, some may be more or less compatible with the converter.

Gotcha. I’ll go back to the analog IO and see if those cores work normally on this TV set. Thanks!

MiSTer Consoles

I'm super sus if an NTSC analog SD TV can't handle SNES. I'd be more likely to blame your converter. But sure I think [SNES] should work for testing. I'd probably use video_mode=512,240,60,cvt for evener pixels. Come to think of it, you might need something higher to raise the pixel clock for the converter to work. Maybe 2048,240,60,cvt. Unfortuna...

MiSTer Consoles

If you're using direct video none of those settings should do anything. They are for scaled (non-direct) output only. You should be more specific about which cores you have in mind. Some default to sub-NTSC refresh, others work above 15khz like Ao486, others don't have any analog output like ao486. In these cases you want to apply a fix that is sp...

MiSTer Consoles

Hi all. I've got an issue where certain cores are "scrambled" when they are launched on my CRT. I've got it connected using Direct Video through a modified VGA to component adapter. I believe the issue might be due to some cores not being exactly 60Hz. I know these Trinitrons can be picky about the signal frequency. I tried setting vsync_...

Honestly, I think if you really need the ethernet IP to be static, I think it is better to make your changes to the DHCP config in your router. It should allow you to tie a specific MAC address (probably 02:03:04:05:06:01) to a specific IP address. My router is a ASUS RT-N66R, your options may look slightly different. Otherwise when the linux.img ...

any suggestions to why im getting this black screen issue on the current cores? Ive tried switching bioses, i get the saturn bios loading up but i cant launch any games. if you have a 4 chip ram then you are out of luck. 2 chip ram is best. V3.0 and v2.9 give the best compatability I thought I read somewhere that v3.0 ram might even have a slight ...

It has been this way from the beggining. You can connect directly from the PC <---->Mister or through a router pc<--->router<---->Mister. In fact I think the preferred method is direct connection. Open a terminal in Mister (press F9 login root, pass 1) type ip address and copy the ip that shows on eth0. That's the one that should go in Mame.ini I’...

Hi! I tried to make this "Groovy Mister Core" work on my setup here, but something seems to be wrong. Why don't I get the bouncing rainbow coloured ball after starting the "groovy.rbf"? The menus do seem to work. My mister does have a working network connection via dlan... I changed the mister file like advertised by lou on yt....

You mean the "soft reset" from ESP's touch menu? Then could be...if no or no stable communication established to MiSTer (the tty2tft Daemon) weird things can happen.

Actually I'm talking about doing a soft reset of MiSTer using the "Reboot [Hold --> Cold Reboot]" option at the bottom of the second menu page for each core.

MiSTer Consoles

I have noticed that if I go into a core too soon after the MiSTer boots that the Uno has trouble pulling up the graphic for that console (and subsequently for each game I launch). Do you think that is an issue with the Uno or perhaps with MiSTer still undergoing some booting processes and failing to write the core name for your program to grab? It...

After cleaning up and last handcraft on fixing small things it went public now! Just run update_tty2tft.sh on MiSTer and enjoy zillions of new pictures for consol- and computer cores now! (Same goes to tty2rpi but it will get it's own announcement later) BTW looks like I've found an old but small bug and not noticed so far: When returning to Menu ...

MiSTer Consoles

Thanks again for implementing this functionality RealLarry! Do you think you will add the game image matching to the TTY2RPi project as well? I'd still like to give that one a try at some point. It definitely sounds more robust and flexible than the Uno based displays. Yes, and it is already implemented, but not yet published. Almost all tty2* pro...

MiSTer Consoles

Thank you both for the report! Looks like I'm/we're already at or near the finish line!? I'll do a review and cleanup the next days if nothing unexpected will be repoted. I think I might have asked this before, but is it possible to access the SD card in the Uno module through a USB hub connected to the DE-10 using FTP like we can do with other de...

I tested the new script today as well. I basically had the same experiences as Kevh182. Everything seems to work extremely well for the most part which is very cool. 8-) There are occasional delays with loading a new image when you move from a game that doesn't have an image available to another game/core that does. However, that's a fair compromis...

I sent you a PM with your ROM/Picture request. When I was adding some artwork last night, I noticed that the updated script seemed to fix the issue with the Mister menu taking away the game picture and reverting back to the core picture. once i get some more artwork transferred to my TFT, I will do some more proper testing. I'm thinking about doin...

MiSTer Consoles

Woah there! That was way easier than I thought: No new line of code, only an addition to an existing line (plus some optimization). New version attached for your satisfaction. A new version already? :o Looking forward to testing it out. 👍🏻 What “new” behaviors should we expect with the updated script? In regards to using png images I think I can j...

MiSTer Consoles

I did some brief testing with the new script this afternoon. So far everything seems to be working brilliantly. I took a few images for different games, resized them to fit the display, and converted them from png to jpg. When I launched the games those images magically pulled up and they looked very cool on the little display. 8-) I did have some ...

Wow RealLarry. You work fast! I am going to play around with this on my lunch break today. Very excited to give it a try.

Looking at things closer. "CURRENTPATH" is the folder the game lives in. I am not seeing the filename show up when "log_file_entry" is enabled under any of the additional files it creates. I noticed the same last night after enabling that option in the ini. It's much cleaner though with just the name of the game file (minus the...

MiSTer Consoles

Would using the roms filename in order to simplify the process for matching artwork to a specific game that has been launched make it easier? Not really. Think about the naming, PacMan for C64 for example. You'll name it "PACMAN.D64". But what about "pac-man.d64" ? (uppercase/lowercase doesn't matter). Or "pacman (namco).d...

MiSTer Consoles

We have discussed this in the tty2oled thread some time ago. It is possible and there are settings for that in mister.ini but we have paused this idea for now until we've found Columbus egg: How to and who guarantees the exact needed game title and/or its checksum? The code of tty2tft and tty2rpi is already fit for that task: you send and command+...
