To anyone with a Retrofighters Brawler64, How do you map the controls in the Mister main Joypad util ? All I can do is get d-pad, thumbstick, a-button, b-button, and the triggers to work, no other buttons work, so I can't select anything for "Select", and "Start". Also, do you just skip the C-buttons ? Because the Joypad util d...

Just FYI it looks like a new version was released on 10/20/2023. I have not tested the new updated version yet.

I have a similar problem with a different wifi adaptor (also recommended). I purchased this recommended wifi/Bluetooth adaptor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YDFZWT8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Everything was working fine until the latest update, like others in the thread. Bluetooth works fine, wifi will locate the ne...

Make sure you have wired your buttons up to the iPac properly. I am currently using the 1.55 multimode firmware on my iPac 2. This is the relevant part of my MiSTer.ini file: ; JammaSD/J-PAC/I-PAC keys to joysticks translation ; You have to provide correct VID and PID of your input device ; Examples: Legacy J-PAC with Mini-USB or USB capable I-PAC ...

I don't have experience with the Ultimate I/O board, but I can confirm that my Ultimarc Spintrack spinner works just fine with an iPac board. As well as the joystick and buttons. I did have to make some changes in the Mister ini file (No merge vid/pid) but once sorted it worked just fine. My spinner does not work with breakout, but works 100% with ...

I have 2 Arcade 1up cabinets that I have gutted and replaced with MiSTer. 2 joystick, 6 button fighter type cabinet with monitor in horizontal orientation. 4 way joystick, spinner, vertical monitor for the old school Ms. Pacman/Donkey Kong/Arkanoid type fun. The best is to limit the controls and play the games as intended. In my experience the huge...

Not sure if I should create a new post or not, but I have a question for the group as well regarding cifs mount and best practices. I have 3 MiSTer set ups and was thinking about consolidating all of the roms into one place on my Synology server. I already have cifs set up on the Synology for the PSX and SegaCD drives, but was considering adding on...

My understanding of things: Update - OG method of updating the main Mister OS. update_all - Newer fancy method of updating the Main Mister OS, Jotego Cores, Mame and HBMame files, Filters, cheats, TTY2OLED files, linux etc. Can be controlled with ini files to customize its options. You can also set up update_all to use the downloader script for upd...

make sure you have the latest rbf and jtbeta.zip file. I get this message when I have an older rbf file and the correct jtbeta.zip file. You can get them from Jotego's Patreon link.

It looks like the original list came from Mame. Here is a list I have curated for games that exits on Mister. This is in no way complete or verified in any way. May also cause cancer in lab animals. Use at your own risk. SPINNER/Wheel: Arkanoid (World) Breakout (TTL) Breakout Crater Raider Demolition Derby Discs of Tron Forgotten Worlds Kozmik Kroo...

For anyone reading this in the future the button or buttons you set up at the beginning for menu are the secret for getting autofire to work. Since I have the OSD/Menu button hardwired up to my I/O board I never set up a button combo for menu. I redid the setup for my iPac and set a menu button combo. The autofire now works as expected. Hold button...

Can someone please explain how to get the autofire to work properly in Mister? No matter what I do, it doesn’t seem to work as expected. According to the following site: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Input-devices#auto-fire Autofire should work like this: “Any defined button (except d-pad) supports auto fire feature. To activate ...

These are my current work in progress MiSTer “cases”. B9EzFF8.jpeg 6DKi7SM.jpeg se1vvfY.jpeg Still have to finish the layout of the Ms. Pac-Man control panel and make the light up marquees. All controls have been updated with proper Sanwa/Happ parts. iPac 2 and Spinner are from Ultimarc. A proper 4 way joystick for Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong makes...

I am not OP, but can add to the discussion. I have updated the update all script as directed and it is working as expected. The beta core for the update all script is only the Sega System 16 core at the moment. The CPS2 beta is/was distributed the old way. My setup is with the default options (_Arcade folder, games/mame folder etc) hitting the load...

There may be some strangness in the robotron core as I have been unsuccessful in getting this to map properly to both sticks. I can play street fighter with no merge and have everything work perfectly but for some reason robotron specifically does not work as expected.

First of all thanks for the core. I hope that there will be a solution to flip the output so I don't have to play it upside down. Keep up the good work!!

Did the rom change at all either? I am having some visual rom corruption issues as well. Using the latest dkong rom from my merged mame set shows a different MD5.

Thank you for the guidance. I have changed my Mister.ini file to the following and it works 100% as expected. Spaces in the name are no problem and I did not have to change the location of the mra file for it to work.: ; lastcore - Autoboot the last loaded core (corename autosaved in CONFIG/lastcore.dat) first found on the SD/USB ; lastexactcore - ...

I have been working with my MiSTer and loving its capabilities. It is currently sitting in a Ms. Pacman cabinet and serving as the frontend for that cabinet. I want to be able to boot directly to Ms. Pacman as default. I am aware that the Mister.ini settings can get this to work. I am confused on how the format is supposed to be laid out. I can get...

I too had issues with the iPac in my arcade cabinet with MiSTer. Changing to a newer firmware version that supported x-mode made things work much better. Holding Start and button 3 for 10 seconds will switch the iPac into x-Mode.

I can also confirm the EW-7822ULC, Edimax AC1200 works without any issues. I just needed to add the network name and password and everything just works as expected.

can you show a picture of the actual board hooked up. I just picked up some Daemonbite boards to replace my iPac controller. Looking for guides/options. THanks.

I have an issue where the colors for Ivan Stewart's Offroad seem off and wrong. Red seems more pink than red. I have tried different palettes and it does change some of the colors but none seem actually correct. Is there something off, or are the colors for the NES version of this game just "off"? I do not notice any issues or problems wh...

I have used an Ultimarc spintrak spinner connected to an iPAC2 to play arkanoid without problems.

Does this new fix allow for changing of the second player buttons/remap? Particularly looking to play Robotron correctly.

Look at the Update all script by Theypsilon. https://github.com/theypsilon/Update_All_MiSTer. It will look at all of your mra files and go out to the internet and download all of the appropriate roms to make it all work. I believe you need a merged rom set to get the games files to work properly. You can also look into the Mame-getter script to jus...

Start coin 3 action buttons I can't think of a game where you would need more than 3 buttons unless you are playing driving games with the spinner. (Quick google search states that there is a Star Trek game (Star Trek: Strategic Operations) that uses 4 buttons) Missile command would use 3 buttons and a trackball. 2 actions buttons would cover you f...

I am using my Ipac-2 in straight keyboard mode, not doing anything fancy and use it almost exclusively for arcade games.. here is a labeled picture of how I have it setup. I play Robotron a lot, have had great luck. I think the key is how you setup the right joystick. I have literally used every button on the Ipac-2, all 32.. Kinda funny How did/d...

I am still having issues on some games and need to tweak/test a few different options. For history and scientific research purposes I have a 2015+ I-PAC2. I think some extra info from the people that have things working would be helpful. My main goal is to play Robotron with 2 joysticks as the original was intended. I have heard of this working fro...
