Edit: Just deleted my huge post and want to focus on the main issue I am currently having... Star Wars the vector arcade game is trying to run at 640x480i @49.5 Hz. How do I get it to run 640x480i @ 60 Hz? I don't have a PAL capable TV. I had this same issue with Batocera and had to write a custom setup script to get it to configure properly for my...

Thanks for the suggestion. I think id need 3 of them, one to connect my router to an outlet, one to connect my mister to an outlet and one to connect my pc.. it would be cool if the developers could create a build that you can just connect an ethernet cable from the misterfpga straight into a pcs ethernet port. I am not an expert on powerline ethe...

I am sorry for your loss and you have my best wishes for you and the family. I am very thankful that you have returned and have lots of plans for the core. You are obviously very skilled, so I am excited for the future. At the moment, DK is the game I have been playing the most, and I am looking forward to watching the future changes come to fruiti...

I tested the SNES core and had no problems with it, it never lost sync. I was testing a number of older rbf files yesterday (as well as another HDMI cable, which made no difference) and even the first one of 2021 lost sync occasionally. It seems to be noticably worse in the 2023 and 2024 versions, at times every few seconds and then not at all for...

Make sure you don't have another old donkeykong rbf file in _arcade/cores on your MiSTer. That is what I had (probably an early test version with updated audio). Yeah, I am not sure the right method but I used to change the date of the RBF to like 2040 of the one from schendel before so when the real updates came through, schendel's would still ge...

The new version is not in updateall already?

It is in update_all.

The digital sound update is so much better than it was, especially for the digital/sampled music. I take it the samples from MAME were used or new samples captured. Great work. Great feedback. I am pretty sure that the music is NOT sampled. A number of fixes went into getting the digital non-sampled sound corrected. This was described earlier in t...

Tried the previous version of the core, restored the mister core to the stable version, disconnected my analog output, nothing makes a difference. Really odd, the previous dk core is from quite some time ago, so I should have noticed this problem much earlier. MiSTer SAM is happily running everything else without problems. It sounds similar to my ...

Haven't tried reverting to an earlier version yet. Only tried removing mra, rom and nvram, that didn't do anything. Haven't had problems with it before, it is a core that I use somewhat regularly. I have an iPad screen I can test with. I will try it when I get a chance. Here are the previous releases. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade-DonkeyK...

thorr

This version sounds really good. Sadly it has sync problems on my iPad monitor now, even with vsync_adjust=2 it keeps losing sync, with a vertical frequency of 60.6Hz (60.7Hz with vsync 2 for some reason). Vsync_adjust=0 used to work fine. Strange. Can/did you try a different version also to confirm it is fine? Maybe something else caused it other...

thorr

In case you missed it, Donkey Kong is back and better than ever! The music is greatly improved with the fixes from schendel's previous unreleased work (he previously provided a separate RBF to test), and there is now an option in the menu core to switch between emulated and sampled analog sound for the walking sound. All of these fixes are now incl...

thorr

If you use the HDMI out with the scaler (direct video 0) for the PC CRT, and the BVM on analog, then yes, depending on the resolution of the core.

thorr

SNAC support would be awesome and I would jump for joy. The only drawback would be it would be limited to one set of paddles, but that is fine with me. I prefer the 7800 core with the D9 over the old 2600 core with SNAC because I think the image on the screen looks better on the 7800 core from what I recall. I have beat the SNAC horse to death thou...

thorr

The benefit I see from it is moreso that you can avoid needing to have a whole PC + legacy video card with analog vga output in the mix. The latency is also an added benefit though. Yes, I totally agree. You just need a decent PC in the area with any video card you want in it that you can run USB and sound from. I already have one in my "retr...

thorr

It would be pointless using a Pi to do this. A Pi can already do what this core is doing, natively, without having to go through a network. You can even use original resolutions, and refresh rates, at 15hz, connected to a CRT. So can a PC or miniPC. I think the idea is that the MiSTer solution is lower latency than a local video card with all its ...

thorr

I am not very familiar with Mednafen so I looked it up. I think nearly all the cores it emulates are already on the MiSTer. I am curious why we would ever use Mednafen with this when we already have the cores available. It's not meant to be negative, but just a genuine question. Is there something Mednafen gives us that the MiSTer cores don't? Rega...

thorr

In my opinion, projects like this and almost anything else someone comes up with are absolutely welcome. In this particular case, it is a major accomplishment for passionate CRT owners. If you are not a CRT owner or only want MiSTer things to be completely self contained, this project isn't hurting you, just don't use it. Another example I would so...

I didn't tested my guncon2 on it but in theory will work as another input device. The reads from lightgun doesn't matter what crt they are on.

Thanks! I see that it is USB plus a sync signal, so that makes sense. I just ordered one from ebay.

thorr

Incredible. I am out of the loop on light gun options running from anything but the MiSTer. Is it possible to get traditional light guns such as the NES Zapper or the Playstation Namco Guncon working in arcade games and consoles even though there is a tiny delay involved? Maybe with run ahead or something? If so, how do you connect the light gun to...

thorr

Wow, I would never have expected it to be faster than a local video card. If that is true, that is impressive. Edited out my unrelated babble.

thorr

This does sound amazing. I finally got my Batocera running really well. Figures. LOL. I will definitely have to check this out. It could totally eliminate the need for the Batocera PC next to my arcade cabinet which could be amazing. Is it lag free over the LAN compared to a local PC? That is my main concern.

thorr

I don't know if it is the case here, or even relevant at all, but also make sure your dipswitches are in the correct position: https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_M ... eshooting/

So, I don't know what to do now. Can somebody point to an adapter that it's sure to work but it's available in Europe? How about this one? https://www.grooves.land/bicy-box-adapter-cable-raidsonic-icy-box-ac502-hdmi-typ-vga-adapter-pZZa1-2097477034.html It had a perfect rating on the spreadsheet. It doesn't come with audio though so you would need...

thorr

That guide is interesting. I am looking at getting a different adapter now, although my adapter is not on the list and it has a beautiful picture. They don't make them anymore.

thorr

I didn't read everything very carefully, but my best guess is the HDMI to VGA adapter you are using won't work. The MiSTer is VERY picky with what it will work with when it comes to HDMI to VGA adapters. Use this one instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS611LJ/

thorr

I suggest to add this to the core's github issues page. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NES_MiSTer/issues This would probably be the quickest way to get it. Be sure to request adjustable stereo separation, and maybe a toggle option to change which voices go on the left and right since there are different possible combinations because there are more...

By the way, has anyone bought the new Atari CX30+ paddles? I'm interested in them since the plastic on my original paddles is brittle after those 40 years. Hopefully they are improved or at least the same as the originals. I am thinking about it, but I don't really need them since I have several options already (original with original pots, origin...

Can't believe NOBODY is talking about Goldeneye being playable!

They are all busy playing it. The only reason I am here is because I never played the game except once briefly back in the day so I have no nostalgia for it. I watched a video of it today that made me want to try it though.

thorr

That one doesn't say anything about Intellivision, Atari paddles, Keypads or 7800 joystick support. I don't know if it supports them or not. The D9 supports pretty much anything with a 9 pin connector. According to https://rpubs.com/misteraddons/inputlatency the D9 has 1.704ms latency. Not bad.

thorr

So, it's confirmed that C64 and Amiga cores don't support SNAC? I don't know all the details, but at least the C64 supports SNAC for hooking up to a real floppy drive. I don't know if it works with joysticks. I don't know what SNAC support for other devices the Amiga core provides. I just use my 2600daptor D9 that works for many different devices ...
