Re: Update all script and Jotego cores

This getting way confusing. So, the update_all script that comes bundled by default with the MiSTer setup image, will it one day pull the jotego cores once they become public or does it absolutely need to be modified in some way for that to ever happen? Update_all.sh does not come bundled and is not the official update script. Update.sh is the bun...

Re: Digital IO Optical Out Not Working

Where did you get the board? Sounds like it might have an led that's not suitable for optical audio installed.

Re: DAC/headphone amp for MiSTer recommendations?

Thanks everyone. I ended up getting a magni too. Wish the Loki came in black too as that would make this the perfect little setup but my whole desk/motif is black and woodgrain. I have a Loki and I very rarely ever engage it. It's a neat toy, but it's actually not very useful unless you're trying to fix a specific problem. The magni was a good cho...

That's what I thought. OK, I'll go back and re-examine everything again. Appreciate the input Nat!

Re: 128MB SDRAM w/ AS4C32M16SB-7TCN

Thanks for the reply Nat. I have looked at everything under a microscope and I didn't see any issues. I will give them another inspection though just to double check. I saw some comments on the old Atariage forum about making sure they're very clean so I gave them another scrub last night. No change. Matthew there's some stubborn flux behind the pi...

128MB SDRAM w/ AS4C32M16SB-7TCN

Has anyone used the AS4C32M16SB-7TCN chips to make the 128MB SDRAM boards? I looked at the specs and they looked to me like they would be an appropriate substitution, however I'm having issues with them. They test just fine in memtest - I can run them overnight for 8+ hours and they operate at 140MHz without any errors. But when I actually play a c...

Re: I/O Board 6.1 Low volume from 3.5mm jack

Pretty sure that Jack is line level, not amplified. It's meant to go into an amp before a loudspeaker or headphone.

Re: Linux Games

MiSTer is a hardware preservation project, not software. I would think this would fall way outside the goals of the project. Just my thoughts though.

Re: Are these 3 8Bitdo bluetooth controllers working with one single usb adapter?

Hey outatime. I think your confusing 8bitdo's different products. The Bluetooth versions can connect to the MiSTer using any of the supported Bluetooth dongles. The 2.4GHz versions will only connect using the 2.4GHz adapter that comes in the box with the controller.

2.4Ghz is not the same thing as Bluetooth add far as 8bitdo is concerned.

Re: MiSTer highlighted in INPUT magazine

I agree. I think the author tried to actually put out a factual article and missed on some very small points. All in all I think this was a decent read. It's miles beyond the drivel that comes out of some of the "major" gaming news sites, that's for sure.
