Aww, thanks! Works like a charm.

I quite like the new options. The Alternative core selection is nice too, which means I won't see Motocross Championship and Doom 32x nearly as often, and instead a ton of cool C64 Crack-tros!

The BGM doubleplay bug is still there, btw. But my "fix" still works too, lol.

Is the "Flip Screen" option in the OSD menu not working for you? Maybe you toggled it by accident?

Otherwise, selecting "Service Mode" again will count as the "TEST SW ON" the menu is looking for.

Anyone else having a reset glitch?

I can't get through the Damnd fight. The 2nd time he jumps back and whistles, the game resets.

It also can't get through the 2nd loop of attract mode, as a reset happens whenever the subway stage is shown.

Well, the script seems to be totally fine without it, at least in my possibly fringe case.

Guess I'll just snuff out that line every time you update the script, lol. Maybe I'll figure out how to set something up in the .ini

I'm using mode 13 and "vscale_mode=4". The latter will make it jump resolutions a little bit to scale correctly, but it seems to deal with anything I throw at it but I can't say I've noticed any framedrops and it looks glorious. It's been running for hours now... and no drops, at least on this core! (Which did have some trouble in the pa...

Yup, this is all I got. :/ #!/bin/sh echo "***" $1 "***" # Startup MiSTer_SAM - Super Attract Mode [[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/.MiSTer_SAM/MiSTer_SAM_init ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/.MiSTer_SAM/MiSTer_SAM_init $1 & # Startup BGM [[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/bgm.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/bgm.sh $1 But hey, thanks to ...

It's still doing it. :( :cry: I reset SAM, uninstalled BGM, did a cold reboot, and double checked my directories to make sure all traces of both scripts were gone, then I ran mister_sam_on.sh and installed bgm.sh through that menu, and got my settings back how I wanted. Other than things running smoother, I'm still getting the same results, unfortu...

By "Reset SAM" do you mean delete it and get a fresh copy from your GitHub?

Not sure how it could be old, since it runs and downloads an update every time I launch it via the script.

Hi Wizzo! Thanks for your help. I downloaded the new script via the way that MrChrister mentioned, and it started playing two songs immediately. Here is my ps ax from that moment: PID USER COMMAND 1 root init 2 root [kthreadd] 3 root [rcu_gp] 4 root [rcu_par_gp] 5 root [kworker/0:0-pm] 6 root [kworker/0:0H-kb] 7 root [kworker/u4:0-wr] 8 root [mm_pe...

Sorry to not be more of a help here. I only use pls files in music dir because i use bgm to listen to internet radio. If I have some time I will try with mp3 files if I get it to play twice. It's all good. :) I'm grateful you're helping me in the slightest. Here's what's in my bgm.ini [bgm] playback = random playlist = none startup = yes playincor...

I've not done much with SSH, but I'll poke around with that when I get home. Two scripts running is the only thing I can think of. I noticed the SAM script will say "BGM service is running" once the first song starts, but then the second the core launches is when the 2nd one starts. EDIT: Okay! Got to poking around in it. Sure enough, it'...

I was wanting it to play in Menus, but not during game while SAM is inactive. It used to work this way. Perhaps that wasn't intended... So I tried going to the original BGM script I had before you integrated it into SAM, (it seemed to disappear from my list for a bit last night for some reason) it showed no song playing while one song was playing, ...

Good News: BIOS are all working again! :D The volume controls also seem to work great, turning back off when ending SAM and everything. Bad News: When you reboot back to the menu, there is no BGM... until SAM triggers again and then you get that "two songs at once" problem I reported last night. It seems you can avoid this issue by doing ...

So I decided to try something else on my monitor just to rule out a power/control board issue. I hooked up my Analogue Super NT and ran Super Mario Kart (JPN cart) for over 40 minutes without a single problem. That brings me back to the MiSTer as the likely culprit. I've read a lot of conflicting information online about what video settings to use....

Okay, new problem. Now it's trying to play two songs at once while SAM is running. (Basically a stuttering mess where each song tries to take turns every half seconds.) Once you press a button and the core reboots, I'm back to how it was, with the song still playing in place of the game audio. :( Turns out it just needed to be rebooted... heh. See...

Only the Sega CD's and the PSX's BIOS files are on a connected USB drive (and that's where the CHDs are too.) The TG16CD's BIOS are on the same drive and not having any issues. All the rest are on the main SD card. I definitely appreciate the core volume thing, especially since BGM plays at such drastically different levels than the core, usually....

That's strange, vsync_adjust=2 works fine for all cores on my system using the iPad screen (Ali Express version). I wonder if your screen intermittently going black is due to insufficient power; how are you powering the screen? I'm using the included power adapter to power the screen. The MiSTer is getting its own power as well. I've tried unplugg...

I'm not sure if it's certain cores at this point or just happening equally overall, but the one I've been testing tonight and having it happen is Aero Blasters on TG16 ('cause it's at the top of my romlist )

I got my pre-assembled kit from LazerBear last week and loving it! Only thing is I seem to have some random screen drops. My vsync_adjust is set to 0 (can't get good results otherwise) and I'm using video_mode13, of course. The screen will go black randomly and then come back soon after with the blue/white popup showing the video information. No re...

Ever since the big new update, the BGM no longer stops when I press a button. (The usual core reboot does happen, however, so I know it tried to stop the script.) The only way it will is by rebooting back to the menu and running the Mister_SAM_off script or launching another core manually. I also seem to be having a problem with games not actually ...

Looks great! But I'm having a hard time getting this to run, or indeed, any of the Cave cores to run anymore.

I'm getting a "Mode Not Supported" from my monitor, which usually means I need to add a line for vsync_adjust=1 in Mister.ini, but that doesn't seem to be working. (I assume this core is just called "Cave?")

You Have Given my Beloved DE-10 Nano Covid with these Draconian Covid Measures ! Feels Bad Man! Feels Bad! :oops: These Updates are Mandatory ? ...Ignoring the way you've worded this, I'm guessing you have a BlisSTer Board? I was having problems when I updated last night. The new Linux clashes with the stock BlisSTer firmware (which isn't "of...

2. Check to see if you have a leftover MBC file in the directory for that core. If you do - delete it. That's a temp copy used during the loading process. If the MiSTer can't overwrite it for some reason then you get the same game for that core every time. I seem to get that a lot for SegaCD. If I delete the !MBC directory, it'll be random for a l...

Looks like they finally updated the Mac script at long last. When I did it, it was over a year old and all the file structure had changed significantly with many of the cores. Luckily, that was easy to fix. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt especially if you're not familiar with Terminal commands. Just take it one line at a time, and you'll get it up a...

Very nice. These themes are good. Very MiSTer-ly.
