I had FB Terminal and Direct Vid on and they worked. Turn them off and they don't obviously. Certainly the Terminal.

Works fine on my CRT, pdf's too small to read like but they load okay.

Maybe, this is what he said at launch though...
"This week's RBF is only available attached to this post or in Discord. update_all will not get the new RBF due to some unexpected last-minute complications."

Wow, what a pleasant surprise from JT today. Spent too long (and too much) on this and Trak & Field in my youth.

It's Patreon only at this stage and not available through update_all yet due to "an issue" but having it running fine at this end!

Quick question as the CPC was the first computer I was ever online with (Prestel. Micronet 800) in the 80s. Is it possible to use the Amstrad core to 'dial' BBSs like you can with the ST and Amiga cores? Any help greatly appreciated...

Ah Kitrinx. Legend as ever.

Yeah for the reasons described by espo83 above. It just tends to make the solder go where you'd ideally like it to go

Yeah I actually meant with the iron rather than a heat gun. I only have a cheap heat gun and never truly trust the temps.. I'd be inclined to douse it in flux and flick the iron over it if you can get at it. It's prob failing from cracked joints from stress, bound to be a mechanical problem I'd bet. If you do go the wire soldering route, take some ...

You can do it! Soldering is the solution to everything. If you are unsure about soldering surface mount check out GadgetUK on youtube. he has tons of soldering repairs. Flux is your friend for sure. Go slow, it's good you are using a decent iron as opposed to charging in with a 12 quid job from ebay. If your eyes are going like mine, spend about 15...

Also worth pointing out, in case you haven't realised, Mister only runs relatively few arcade cores - 'Mame' is probably a bit confusing in that respect - Mister does not run the mame collection, if that makes sense? I'm not sure it does, just woken up!

Yeah I built a Daemonbite adapter and use an original Competition Pro or Zipstik with my Mister for CPC / Amiga type stuff. Easy to do and worth so much in terms of getting that original feel back.

Ah, keep the Amstrad if you can. You will regret selling it one day. I have a 464 and a 6128 and they are going nowhere. I also use my mister on a Panasonic 14" for Amstrad and others and it looks great. It's actually sat on top of an Amstrad colour monitor and they look identical when on.

Can't get a pic to show unfortunately

Sorted. Switched fb_terminal=1 and it works via HDMI now.

Yeah just on a CRT but I'll check via HDMI in the morning. Wonder if it's to do with fb_terminal=0 - will have a play around.

I think I might be losing my mind here. In the past I have got to Linux with F9, I am sure I have, but now F9 does nothing whatsover? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have something enabled I may have turned off in some ini or other over the past two years?

Yeah this ^^ I find this thread useful for things that are working to try out next.

All done manually and works a treat with multitrack games. Loving the hard work.

Yeah I have v.4 as well.

What files are in your neogeo.zip? Is it just?

uni-bios.rom
000-lo.lo
sfix.sfix

Or do you have more?

Still the cross hatch on the Aggressors rom... what files are in your neogeo.zip? The getter does download a huge one with lots of different unibios versions but I am using my own at the moment

I get the cross hatch even if I try loading a game that doesn't exist now, so I kinda think my bios/roms are working.

Yeah, I actually ran update all before and it downloaded a heap of those non-working roms which was annoying but I have since deleted the one I am trying and replaced it with a zipped version of my working Darksoft one..... Wasn't even getting the cross hatch yesterday so, well progress

Hey, looking for ideas. Not managed to get any of these running from the arcade folder yet - not gone down the symlink route yet as trying to get it working first. I'm zipping up a game from my NeoGeo folder and putting it in games/mame alongside a neogeo.zip I have created from uni-bios.rom 000-lo.lo sfix.sfix When I load a rom I can only get to t...

Fine for me too. Outputting via analogue with a 128 memory board.

Ace thanks. Not just me then! Going on hols tomorrow so I'm sure it will be fixed by next weekend!

Hey, might be me losing my marbles here but noticed at the end of Sorg's last update info that the Linux distro is now 7zipped die to Github file size restrictions. Anyway, ran update.sh and when it got the Linux part at the end I got a message saying it couldn;t be extracted as it wasn't a rar file and the update finished, seemingly without doing ...

Thanks mate. Yeah I've grabbed all my folders back off the card that way. Going to reset up now. Weird though, first time had any kind of problem with it in 18 months.

Not a newbie by any means but got a problem maybe somebody else has had. I don't generally mess with update_all, preferring to do most things manual but with the new Jotego distribution systemand the fact my arcade folder is in a bit of a mess I decided to delete all my arcade and run update_all to get a new set. I changed the settings so that it p...

I used to quite like faffing with all the beta stuff though. Made it seem as though I was getting something for my trouble. I don't use update all anyway. First time I did I didn't realise the name.txt was going to overwrite my own edited one and since then I like to be in control of what gets overwritten. Just me though I guess.

damn, i wanted a copy of sabre wulf

Old school!

So this is piracy, but you have to pay for it, but the money goes to the wrong person? This is so weird to me… This kind of comment is pretty unhelpful within the scene. Supporting Jotego for his dev work is no more piracy than downloading any core surely? He's not sidling up to you in the playground and offering to sell you copied cassettes for y...
