Re: MiSTer Nuked-MD MegaDrive Core

This core is simply perfect. And it has become my default MD & SMS core, too!

However, adding !Genesis and !sms in downloader.ini also disables this core, which makes no sense. Someone else experienced this small problem?

Re: Are You Going to Re-Configure Your MiSTer Setup for Dual RAM?

No way. I am sure we will see MK on single RAM eventually, when more talented devs give it a try.
But I am not paying for a new setup just for a game (I am not interested in NARC at all).

Hello there, For years I suffered glitches in arcade cores and even SNES due to his incompatible RAM modules. Some months ago, I finally got a RAM module from other seller (there are many reliable sellers in Europe, like UltimateMister, Manuferhi, or RetroCastle on Aliexpress) and everything is working as intended. It's not only that his RAM module...

I am not in front of my computer, but having read your rdbtool code, I would first add both filesysyems PFS3 and FFS to the RDB. Since you format from WB 3.1, you can select DOS7 instead of the DOS1 that I posted for the WB13 PFS3AIO works with any WB version: I have been using it virtually on any release from 1.3 to 3.2.1 If this doesn’t work, to...

Re: HD Support for WB 2.04 and 1.3.3?

Once you create the image with RDbtool, you get an empty HDF with the PFS3 in the RDB. Nevertheless, there is the last step, because it is not formatted yet. Unless you format in FFS, but this would be redundant and not helping much, because you should format once again in PFS. Since you want to get a PFS3 image, you should format it with PFSForma...

So it doesn't work. The whole point was making an image that would function on both OS versions. If you can format it from 3.1 but then can't read it on 1.3, and have to reformat it there, that's not a solution to the stated problem. The process I (roughly) outlined is a lot more intricate, but it fulfills the requirements. I still recommend downl...

More information on this. Doing this formats a partition to DOS1, which KS 1.3 should be able to use, but it does not:

Code: Select all

xdftool test.hdf open part=dh0 + format Amiga DOS1
Also tried in HEX format:

Code: Select all

xdftool test.hdf open part=dh0 + format Amiga 0x444F5301
No way! Is xfdtool unable to do KS 1.3-compatible formats??

@Vanfel, I still reccomand PFS3AIO for any size even 256MB, because, as Malor quite rightly said, PFS works on any WB and with any CPU. It is also faster and, importantly, more reliable. In case you wish to go for FastFileSystem on the WB 1.3, IIRC the FFS version should be the 40.1 or earlier. In other words, you can use the FFS up to the the one...
