MiSTer FPGA Forum

Yeah. I am going to have to get this controller. Can't pass up the dragon game.

Is it just me or does the Soundblaster sound off? I was playing Discworld and it sounded really off.

Surely, the HDMI port is not that touchy. I have plugged in the HDMI port on my working Mister numerous times while the monitor was running.

I still have not tried removing the IO board yet. I will do that when I get back.

I installed MidiLink and Munt is not working.

For some reason, The Dig will not work for me.

It freezes on the Pause menu when loading it up. I am using the latest pack. Just ran the update script.

Maybe I have the wrong memory setting?

I notice lots of games are working now.

I should have the latest core too. I ran the update all script.

Well, the image I made off the working card is too big for the new card.

So, I put the working SD card into the Mister that is not working.

There is still no HDMI output. So, it is a hardware issue.

I will try running it without the IO board. That might be messing it up.

If I'm reading this right, you have two MiSTer systems? If so, what happens if you boot the new one using the SD card from the existing (working) one?

Yeah. What I can do is make an image of my working SD card and flash it over to the other one.
I suspect something is going on with the Mr. Fusion installer.

Why in the heck is it asking for a CD Bios?
That does not exist.

I’m guessing it’s some debug code or hooks for something in the future. Or the Mister framework has some hooks in it looking for a bios and that’s a default naming for it? It’s to be ignored for now though.

Yeah. I bet it is the Mister Framework acting weird.

Yeah. I ran into the same problem today. They changed the file name on us.

For some reason, the latest unstable Mister binary would not work. I had to use the previous one.

I tried this unstable, Saturn_SingleSDRAM_unstable_20230829_04f601.

The fmvs in Panzer Dragon freeze and Death Crimson has a bunch of vertical lines on the screen. I posted the issues to Github.

Stonekeep will not start for some reason. Might as well use DOSBox on a PC.

It sounds like the old version of ao486 works better with this for some weird reason. That may be why there was an old one on my Mister.

I have not tried Nights yet. It is getting pretty exciting. The bios screen needs to match the region.

I tried the new build out. Panzer Dragoon Saga is running now. It does freeze on the cutscenes for some reason.

It looks like Sonic Jam fully renders now. There is some kind of audio issue.

Yeah. I was going to pop the new one on the Mister.

I did notice some things with the new core.
The merman area at the beginning of SotN turns yellow for some reason.
The Sonic World area in Sonic Jam is rendering white on the ground.

Is the current version of the core the latest artifact on the gitHub site?

The core is finicky about game dumps. It favors Redump releases.

Duckstation has no problem with this.

I played some Discworld and the Soundblaster does not sound right on it. It is like missing instruments.

Really, they need to add CD audio support to the core. Some games use it. The intro to the 7th Guest is missing it's audio.

Same here. For example Wolfenstein 3d and duke nukem are crashing. When I start them with an older ao486 version, they are working.

Which version did you roll back to?

Are the MT32 and Sound Canvas settings not supposed to work? Seems like it. I had adlib not work on me on one game.

I assume we just have Soundblaster 16 and Soundblaster Pro.

I got Wing Commander III to work. It uses the QEMM memory setup.

It had to be the weirdo. I bet Wing Commander IV also needs it.

Both of the Rebel Assaults crash. Also, confirming that Rayman doesn't start up. Really, it is better to play the PlayStation version. The PC version is missing music.

I am getting that impression of the AO486 core too. Way too many games are crashing on it. It is not stable enough.

I also tried to make my own games vhd with exoconverter, but lots of games were not working.

I ran into a couple of issues.

Wing Commander III just freezes after the wc3.exe is run.

Return to Zork locks up when you first get to the lighthouse at the beginning. You just get an hour glass and nothing happens.
