MiSTer closely outputs the frequency and resolutions of original PCBs. If you had the PCBs in your cab you’d have to regularly tweak pots to get an image. Simply tweak h / v hold until the picture stabilises. There are options in the MiSTer menus to force non-native frequencies but I’ve never bothered with them as accuracy is more important to me....

Hey I'm pretty new to MiSTer. I have an arcade cabinet with a 29" CRT monitor that I've hooked a MiSTercade into. Loving it so far and almost have it set up to my liking. One issue I'm encountering is that some arcade games have a garbled picture when I load them. Even the MiSTer menu is garbled once I load the core. In some cases it's a mild ...

Select button skips the current game. Just go to setup controller in SAM's menu and pick different buttons

Thanks. Didn't realize the coin drop would count as select but playing with that worked out.

You could leave the folder in place and add a link in /media/fat/

Genius. Took me a while to figure out to create a symlink on linux but that worked . Thanks!

Ok back with another conundrum. So close to getting it where I want. Right now I can press Start when a game is being displayed by SAM and play it. That's cool. However, I'd love to be able to just jump in my inserting a coin into my cab. When I do this, it registers the coin but it also seems to skip the current game and go to the next. Anyone kno...

It takes a little longer than 60 seconds but it works for me.

I had to run the script and let it auto configure. Not sure if that helps you.

Yeah turns out I'm just impatient. Took longer than 60 but started eventually. Thanks!

Ah ok, that makes sense. I'm guessing once I move the folder I won't be able to edit using the script, but hopefully I can just drop it back into favorites when I need to.

Hey really enjoying SAM so far. I'm wondering if it's possible to have SAM on by default when you turn on the MiSTer? I have autoplay enabled after 60 seconds of idle in the menu, but when I power my MiSTer on it doesn't start unless I manually run the MiSTer_SAM script.

add an underscore before the @

_@Favorites

Tried this but no luck. I only see those folders when I enter the Favorites folder.

Awesome script. I have a question about the file structure that I'm hoping someone can answer. I would like to have two top-level folders: One called "@Favorites" that contains all the goats and one called "@Currently Playing" that I change up more frequently. I can use the script to create the @Currently Playing folder within @...
