MiSTer FPGA Forum

I've been working on a soon to be released input tester core, which I only created because I have a plan to work on a new more unified input system for arcade cores and need something that'll be quicker to iterate on. The test core is here is any of you fancy giving it a review - critiques/suggestions always welcome! https://github.com/JimmyStones...

To make matters worse, IMHO, it seems some cores have standard MAME input removed in other words making the user experience worse, on purpose. MAME got this figured out a decade or more ago. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade-Pacman_MiSTer/commit/3dcf9411731695329f52591447165d4d2cb8ede6 And yes, the input system needs to be reworked into someth...

Have you tried ALT+F12?

I participated in the survey, however I do not think it will identify what I believe is the a fast growing "demographic" - people like me who are only/mainly interested in arcade cores and likely running them in real arcade cabinets.

We need a part number/source for the 40pin RA connector. I've been previously searching for something like that, but couldn't find it through the 'normal' channels.

Looks like a routing error on this version, pin 1&3 are VDD supply pins, but share a capacitor. Pin 37 is a signal pin tied to VDD, but has a capacitor which probably should be on one of the supply pins.

Solution for JVS CRT cabinets, like the Naomi Universal, posted here:

I wrote the firmware, so yes I'm aware

My original post was not about JVS, but rather how the HPS/Arm core communicates with the FPGA cores. The use of a a standardized bit field, like JVS does was suggested as an alternative to virtual game-pads and had nothing to do with RS485 transmission. It seems now that MAME keyboard layout is defacto standard without doing a lot of remapping, me...

Jotego just posted an update about full support for MAME keys, so should be no need to do the vid/pid keyboard->gamepad hack

Having issues with the input system, so wanted to have a poke. It's not exactly clone and compile.. The docker stuff gives me errors on step 8 when doing make build : Step 8/31 : RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install -y autoconf automake bash-completion bison build-essential ca-certificates checkinstall curl fl...

Just updated my mister to give it another go with the JVS-PAC 2, I defined the VID/PID in the mister.ini, fired it up and with an external keyboard via F12 go to the Define Joystick stuff, when I'm asked to press DPAD right, mister crashes: Input event: type=EV_KEY, code=293(0x125), value=1, jnum=1, ID:16d0:09ab:02 FileOpenEx(open) File:/media/fat/...

Hi, was playing around with with the new CPS1 cores with this device that I make, and couldn't get it to work properly. https://irkenlabs.com/jvs-pac2/introduction I'm not 100% what the link between the ARM and the FPGA is, but I got as far as https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/blob/master/input.cpp It seems there is an 'impedance mismatch...
