Re: names.txt - Proper System Names in OSD

I do think it would be good to have the Acorn computers named "Acorn Atom" and "Acorn Electron" in the menu so they are grouped together. That is the goal of the manufacturer variants. I use names_CHAR28_Manufacturer_EU.txt with datetime OFF myself and if you want cores grouped together then this is the way to go :) There is al...

Re: names.txt - Proper System Names in OSD

Hiya, I was trying to figure out why my ZX81 went away and the search led me here. I thought I'd offer my thoughts on the rename for what they're worth (probably not much). The input is always appreciated, I can't know it all and heavily rely on people from the different regions to help with the naming. I was living in the US at the time and the Z...

Re: names.txt - Proper System Names in OSD

For US regions the Sinclair ZX81 is now renamed to Timex Sinclair TS-1500 (because of the 16kb version). In the US a joint venture between Timex Corporation and Sinclair Research sold the ZX81 as TS-1000 (2kb Version, which this core cannot be set to) and TS-1500 (16kb version with slight bug fixes). This should prove more accurate for US version o...

Re: names.txt - Proper System Names in OSD

Recently I learned that the Sinclair ZX81 was named Timex TS-1000 in the US (see https://www.zock.com/8-Bit/D_ZX81.HTML and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_Sinclair_1000). There were slight differences in RAM amount (2KB RAM instead of 1KB). Would renaming the ZX81 for the US region make sense? The ZX81 core seems to support 1KB, 16KB, 32KB and...

I get things moving forward, but it just really sucks to update and then find things that used to work fine suddenly no longer work. There's, like, zero consideration for the user experience of using the MiSTer. This shouldn't have rolled out until all the other parts were ready. I understand your frustration.

Re: names.txt - Proper System Names in OSD

The 3D names may be an issue, but for now I will add them to the list with "3D" appended to the core name. It will be easy to change once they get a distinct name and in the meantime you can append the 3D manually.

For sure, thanks a lot, Moondandy :). I will add them all. Currently I am working on adding more columns to the CSV as well, to generate the so far missing common-names variants. That is a bit of work and I will do all that as soon as I get to it. These cores will be included then, too.

When defining a new controller with "Define Joystick Buttons", simply press any button for "DPAD Test: Press RIGHT" and then press F12 ("User").

Of those examples on that page, only genesis appears to require it.

For DKC using a soft scanline filter is a much better option. Well, "better", &...
