Yes they are. PSX core fully implements the official framework. In fact, the framework had to be closely tailored during the development of the core, so the two would be perfectly compatible.

Mind you, as the BIOS screen (and many games) are 480i, you may not get what you're usually expecting from 'scanlines', so tweak your settings accordingly.

Pramod Somashekar is indeed working on the V2 hardware with a focus on the Raizing boards in particular (I believe he's working on Batrider last reported) Problem is, people have been so pushy on him that he had to lock his Twitter feed, and now it's pretty spotty to know where he's at. Sometimes he's communicating with Jotego, so you can follow h...

Certainly it is, but someone's got to do it. Right now it would seem that there's no motivation for people who know their way inside the kernel.

Maybe we should stage a group buy to spark interest

What does not come indeed, is the specific _alternatives/_ASO folder, to which the Alpha Mission and Arian Mission mras have been relegated.

I guess we have to add them manually, until @theypsilon fixes the distribution repo.

There you go, fixed!

Hmm, I haven't taken mine apart yet, but I'm suspecting something like an Opti-PAC would be a better interim solution instead of an adapter.

Olá Ricardo!

Have you given a look at blue212's new PSX SNAC board?

Being utterly inept at assembling such a contraption on my own, I wish you could maybe take up producing these (for us in EU countries)

no. The script is set to seek from the 0240 dump currently.

Just wait for a day, and the merged romset which can be downloaded automagically, will be available
(in fact the already downloaded "aso.zip" is the one you want. Just the mras need to be edited to point to that)

Seek MAME 0.193 (split) romsets.

You'll want the alphamis and arian sets, before the mras get updated to the merged set which can be downloaded "automagically"

small suggestion

For those who aren't on the discord: ~1 day of patience will get you that though, and probably better

FYI, 32X no-intro set works impeccably with the core, and AFAIK that's the most freshly updated one out there

Great job in making automatic updates compatible with the downloader script! However, the correct entry inside downloader.ini should look like this: I don't have a github account, so I can't post an issue about this there, sorry

I'm surprised the url by itself didn't work though. It seems to play just fine directly with mpg123 Hey, whaddayaknow! Tried again today to verify and indeed non-secure, bare urls do work!

I think we should commission an original MiSTer theme

Anyone up for the takes?

Great job in collating and digesting valuable info which has been scattered all over the internets!

@LamerDeluxe thanks. My post was just to make the announcement. Over the years the quality of "MiSTer Updates & Changelog" has been going down: as of today 99.99% of arcades updates are never announced, I hope the disease is not spreading to other cores. These are updates to Jotego cores, which are not a part of main as you well know...

Someone on twitter I think*, particularly suggested the NES classic mini theme and I agree:

I'd personally wish for a Psikyo SH2 core, what with Gunbird 2, Dragon Blaze, Strikers 1945 II and many more!

That said, you can already get a taste of Psikyo-style arcade goodness with Strikers 1945 Plus on the NeoGeo core.

Currently no dev has announced an interest in doing the Psikyo 1st Gen core, so... no, not yet, although I think it would be doable inside the constraints of the DE10.

Thanks for that, it's brilliant!

Is there any way to make files loop?

Here's a contribution; some hours worth of 8-bit chiptunes (envelopes) taken from the BBC micro, courtesy of stairwaytohell

...the motherlode of vidya OSTs and BGM, can of course be found here!

What are some of the issues? I've been putting off subbing to his patreon for the betas since it seemed abandoned, but maybe it's worth while now? Mostly the fact that sprite scaling (zooming) has yet to be implemented. Also some issues here and there with tile alignment and popping sound. All except Guwange (which has severe timing issues), can d...

What games run on the current Cave core? All of the 1st party developed ones, except for Donpachi: DoDonpachi, Dangun Feveron, ESP Ra.De., Guwange... aand Uo Poko :) That said, all games bar the publicly released DoDonpachi mras, have issues. I'm glad that nullobject turned his attention again at the core; it was the one that got me into MiSTer in...

It is hard to describe but to describe it more precisely the spin of the trackball is not synchronous to what is happening on the screen. It is hard to stop and place centipede exactly which is a no go in the game sometimes it even moves in the wrong direction. When you control it with the joystick it moves smoothly and the way it should be but a ...

The Cave 68K core got updated some 5 hours ago today to the newest MiSTer firmware.

Is anyone here comfortable with Scala as to compile the .rbf?

I'm experimenting with this right now in Centipede;

maybe try to uncomment/add this line to your Mister.ini: I'm finding playing with that value gives noticeable results

So you won't be using the third pin with the Arduino headers. That means the fan won't ever ask for so much juice In fact, you can run it @3.3V

Are you sure your 5V fan will ever draw as much? Maybe it's PWM enabled, rated @260mA because of its capability to turn at very high RPMs. However with the DE10, you won't ever see temps comparable to PC chipsets etc. The popular Noctua NF-A4x10 5V fan most sellers provide for use with the digital I/O board (i.e. Arduino header connected), only nee...

Here, try this: Arkanoid also worked for me with the buttons, but I deleted the mapping because I hated the translation from spinner to trackball.
