MiSTer FPGA Forum

Hello Mr Puu, I have found where the problem comes from. It's the version of the main Mister that's causing the problem with your Core. With the latest version it doesn't work. If I go back to a previous version, it's okay @tontonkaloun, Well done, thanks for sharing your findings! Could you just p...

Thanks for sharing this python script, it worked like a charm and I have managed to extract the .rbf from within the folder!

Is the menu displayed when you press F12? If the menu is displayed, the core itself should be running. Since Zet is equivalent to 8086 / V30 / 80186, the BIOS of the model at that time is required. As for the era, if it is not the BIOS of the era of PC-9801VM and PC-98DO, the instructions related t...

I will test.

Same for me. Exactly the same. But it doesn't start/work.

Hi guys,
Same for me. No video at all at the screen.

@kathleen, I am afraid it is time for me to give up! I have tried the procedure several times now but to no avail. I have also tried with another MiSTer FPGA setup which I have got inside my arcade cabinet, just in case it was something related to some screen/monitor compatibility issues and again n...

@Alkadian, I've just uploaded the file cros4.adf in my Mega, could you please mount it as 1st floppy disk and retry. This is what RISCOS is looking for. I'm surprise that you still have this message after having entered the commands that I listed. Hi kathleen, Thanks again for the new file! It actu...

I am doing some progress here!

I have replaced the command

configure idefsdircache 32k with

configure systemsize 32k

and bingo!! It booted this time! But I am stuck with a new error message when OS 4.2 starts which is 'Please insert disc CROS4'.

I am getting there though

Hi Alkadian, Yes after resetting the core the HDF is still mounted and I have saved the settings just to make sure as you suggested. No I haven't got any error messages after entering manually the commands. Thanks! Hi Alkadian, This is weird, I'm still at work, when I'll have finished (in around 2 ...

Thank you for the guidance. I have changed my Mister.ini file to the following and it works 100% as expected. Spaces in the name are no problem and I did not have to change the location of the mra file for it to work.: ; lastcore - Autoboot the last loaded core (corename autosaved in CONFIG/lastcor...

Hi Alkadian, After having done the reset, have you checked that your HDF was still mounted ? Between the HDF mount and the Reset Ctrl+Alt+AltGr action, try to save the configuration (so, before the reset) to be sure. Unless you're sure that your HDF was still mounted. When you entered the manually ...

I would love to test it too! Thanks!

@Alkadian Of course but if you don't mind I'll provide you the link to get it by tomorrow morning (Belgium time). That would be awesome! Many thanks again! Hi Alkadian, As promised, here is the link where you can have access to the HDF that I used. The CROS is zipped but this time, once unzipped, y...

Maybe this is old news to most of you, but I just stumbled over this project: https://github.com/VitorVilela7/SA1-Root/releases Vitor Vilela patched the code of several SNES Roms that were plagued by slowdowns so that they make use of the SA-1 chip that was in fact a second CPU that ran much faster...

Many thanks for getting back to me. Sure, no rush and no worries I run in to similar brain issues :D ... HDD 0: CROS42.HDF ... @kathleen, Many thanks for your very clear instructions. Much appreciated! Sorry, just a question. I have got only a CROS42.arc which I have downloaded from one of your pre...

Please refer to the notes below which I put together some time ago: 1. Open the mister.ini file in the main SD folder. 2. Look for the line ;bootcore=lastcore. 3. Uncomment it and replace ‘lastcore’ with the .mra file corresponding to the rom you want to start with. For istance if you want to start ...

@kathleen, Thanks for re-sharing this. Can you please let me know how to mount the CROS42.arc? @Alkadian, I need to retrieve my notes to tell you how I did it. There is a while now and to be honest my memory makes me default (my brain becomes old :-)) I keep you posted asap. @kathleen, Many thanks ...

Yes ! Thanks a lot! But It's still the version with the "insert CROS4 disc" error, I was looking for the corrected version. Verry sorry it seems that I uploaded the wrong one, my mistake, this one should be the right one: https://mega.nz/folder/MT51lK4Y#c5jQWwRss19m8j1ofOK8Sg @kathleen, Thanks for ...

@shark800, I have just tested this core. It' s very cool! I like it a lot. I have just tried a couple of games which are Arkanoid and Jet Set Willy (Willie Walker) and they run very well included the sound. I do love the green colour screen! It reminds my first days with my beloved commodore C64. I ...

@shark800 ,

Thanks for sharing that. I will also test is as soon as I can due to my great interest in 'never tried before' old computers. I love learning new staff!

First of all thank you so much Jotego for your very much appreciated hard work! Well, I am also one of the lucky ones with no ram issues at all apart from Slammasters which it won't boot. Infact I have got two mister setups with two 128mb ram modules. So I consider myself double lucky :mrgreen: Any...

It's simply not working for me, I don't know why. EDIT: Got it working - I was attempting to set up the key swap between two different keyboards, since the one I use with Mister has no 'Print Screen' button. I just needed to have both keyboards plugged in at the same time to swap them. Thanks for t...

Very cool indeed! Thanks for sharing.

I have just placed an updated core in releases. It now allows LOAD and SAVE as it should have done. I also created a boot.vhd in Windows 10 disk management, Create, Initialise and format FAT32. I placed all the AtomArchive folders and files on it and it worked. I also formatted an 8Gb SD card with ...
