MiSTer FPGA Forum

On hardware side, there are some cheap Extrons that can center horizontally, you can read about them here.

Some later Trinitron models also have a "RGB centering" option in the menu which does just that.

Marvellous Seems some extra work was needed after all.

I don't know what you win spreading bullshits here and in other forums against me: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=46712#p46712 There is no dishonest info on my product page Coincidence. Interested parties might read my reply there and decide if it's "spreading bullshit" or s...

The challenge with phrasing a question in absolute terms [...] There is no challenge whatsoever. There either are extra artifacts or there aren't. Your reply is symptomatic of a ridiculous amount of obfuscating noise which was already presented here in response to some basic queries about a product...

If I buy this board, will I see any EXTRA artifacts caused by MiSTer cores + board itself?

I've asked this really simple question some time ago, and nobody has answered it yet. "Yes" or "no" only, please.

My adapter has not any issue. all adapters have the same issue. This is surreal :) Unfortunately I might actually need one of these adapters soon, so still would like to find out what the score really is. It seems impossible to do so in this bizarre thread, so if anybody has one and uses it to disp...

It's normal because all adapters have the same issue. You can buy, compare, make make a video and publish if you don't trust me. You miss the point completely. Perhaps all adapters do have the same issue, I don't question that. But that means there IS an issue. And there is no mention of that issue...

It's not a flaw. Composite video has these artifacts and are completely normal. Fixing in hardware is not enough. It requires core modification If you talk about "fixing it" then how can it be "normal"? Your explanation in the tweet says it's normal for FPGA, but this obviously does not make it any...

No, why do you ask? :) You're a funny guy. Nevermind :) Meanwhile, I'll definitely keep on insisting that it'd be great to see A1200 brought as close to 1:1, like I did in this other thread, since it seems there are reasons for doing so after all. And I'll most definitely take opinions of assorted ...

When 68000 is selected as CPU, the MiSTer will use the cycle exact Fx68k core from ljor, while if you select 68020, it will use the tg68.C core by tobiflex. So two different CPU cores. TG68 started out as a 68000 core, and 020 functionality was only added years later. It works amazingly well, but i...

Spreading misinformation is never a good thing. You can promote MiSTer without doing so.

It would be awesome to have tape/disk emulation.

I still don't really know what settings should I use. When I set direct_video and vga_scaler & scandoubler to 0, I get small, centered image. With direct_video & scandoubler =1 image is good on most cores, but ao486 causes my monitor to lose sync, there is no image. This core only works on direct_vi...

The screen rolls on my CRT-TV via component input.

Same here on my CRT TV via DV+RGB :/ How do you connect to the PVM?

Right, I thought there was one, from some other suggestion.

Can't really comment on the image size because I haven't got it to run on my Direct Video myself yet.

Could be you have NTSC enabled?

But the C64 on MiSTer is pretty barebones compared to the Ultimate. That's correct, but only if you're interested in connecting external hardware. Comparing software compatibility and general accuracy is another matter though, which is what "core maturity" refers to. Does FDD compatibility affect t...

I presume you are connecting to PC CRT monitor?

Didn't you say you hadn't actually bought one? So you don't even know what it looks like?? You mean I should buy it just so I can post in this thread, despite the fact that the guy who makes them has admitted that a problem exists? And that people who have bought it will have to buy another one soo...

Yes, there is a big difference between normal composite video and composite video with artifacts coming from modern hardware flaws. No, I wouldn't buy a PS4 if it had a serious flaw and I knew there is a revised PS4 without it coming out soon. And if people only learned about this flaw from some ran...

Yes. This guy is seller of MiSTer stuff and it seems he does to attack competitors. As I explain on that email, the problem is due to the core and it's present on all composite adapters on the market not only my one. I won't say me adapter it's the best, but I just receive this email from a client....

So would you say Unsaturated is the most authentic (OG NES+CRT) palette?

Not really, which should be obvious - the original machines and these FPGA systems don't have so much in common. The idea behind the whole "FPGA angle" is to have new hardware to replace old hardware, and to avoid certain issues with software emulation (latency and more). One of the big hype factor...

Ouch. I was considering getting one myself...
