Man, this system must be the hardest ever considering the time it's taking. I mean we got a PS1 and N64 core since it's announcement.

If you give it to Robert Peip, he will do it in 2 months tops

Both of you shouldn't act so entitled and toxic.

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? Reg...

Lots of things could be done in theory.

Whether or not it should be done is still relevant because at the end of the day someone with development skills with free choice to do what they please would be the one to implement it.

that guy that is working on MK looks like he is doing KI for mars he has the arcade board

Would be interesting to see it running one of these days.

BlisSter won't allow lightguns to work afaik, whereas SNAC will, so suggesting it as a replacement of SNAC is not always going to be appropriate. Also, BlisSter does not have any meaningful advantage over many modern usb controller adapters such as the following: https://www.tindie.com/products/timville/triple-controller-misteranalogue-pocket-adapt...

In general whenever I start a new arcade core I just map my buttons there in that core once and then I don't have to think about it. It's pretty quick when you get used to it. Part of the issue is that each core is made by different devs so the button mapping won't be 100% consistent between them, as the button indexes and how it's mapped sometimes...

Does the PSX core still get any benefit from dual RAM modules? Or any other core for that matter?

It gets a measurable but completely imperceptible marginal accuracy boost to sound timing.

Could just do it with some cheap jumper wires.

Do you have any screenshot examples from a capture card?

aberu

It's not possible and it likely won't be added as an option. You should just get a longer cable and put your left speaker in the left position and your right speaker in the right position.

aberu

Both SCART and Saturn-type cables have been known to get the Left and Right audio signals swapped, so also good to confirm with the user regarding their cable type.

I believe this is what you are looking for? Someone else please confirm.

The rated operating temperature of the cyclone v soc on the de10-nano is -40°C ~ 100°C, it's the automotive rated chip. It should be fine.

aberu

Well there's a few things going on there... Hot to the touch is a function of the thermal conductivity of the material and how fast it can transfer heat to your fingers. Aluminum is a very good thermal conductor. So a minor change in temperature may be more apparent. There has been more added to the framework and more added to the Main MiSTer binar...

I never said anything about the core needing a fix. MSLUG2 clearly has a performance issue that people are trying to solve. So a 3rd party core, unstable or not is a good option to have. I was reading up on it because I heard X was quite similar to 2. There was talk about hacking X to be like 2 here but I wonder if anything came of it or that it w...

What needs to be fixed about it? The core meets timing requirements when I compile trbocode's latest version. I don't think doubling the clock is anywhere near the equivalent of what Koston's mods to his own boards are though. The current build is like clocking the board to 24MHz which is a bit excessive given 12MHz is the default. The crashes you ...

You need specific drivers for Windows 95 for joystick support typically (going off of memory here). Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Device Manager. Check to see if the com ports have any errors and check to see if the game controllers have any errors. It's usually because you need to install some kind of game port driver which I don't th...

If you are using the latest unstable release of the Saturn core, did you make sure to also use the latest unstable build of the Main mister binary?

There were changes to both today to make CHD loading also work. You have to have both updated if you are using the bleeding edge unstable release of the Saturn core.

I'm a big fan of the Dualsense as an all-rounder. I have gone through testing and trying out dozens of controllers and it's the most solidly built, very low latency over bluetooth, and just feels the best in my hand. The only time I think I need anything else is just for N64 for which I use the RetroFighters Brawler64.

Try this one for me:

MiSTer.ini: (16.65 KiB) Downloaded 102 times

aberu

Yeah that is not expected. dvi_mode being enabled only makes it so audio is not transmitted over HDMI, that's it. It really shouldn't impact hdmi video when turned off at all.

Can you post your whole MiSTer.ini here in case there are other anomalies?

If students learn how to use these technologies from these companies, the companies stand to gain more influence among young engineers, and it helps round out their sales. The branding thrown on the box and materials that come with the DE10-Nano aren't that unusual for dev boards, especially educationally-targeted ones. To be honest, the word "...

I see no particular change to DE10-Nano nor Altera's direction for at least 2 years. I do. There's zero benefit to Intel to continue the FPGA education program that made the DE-10 Nano possible in the first place. I suspect the very last of them to ever be made has already been manufactured and is in inventory. This, obviously, could have a profou...

First off, thanks so much for the responses. Unfortunately, this is exactly how mine is setup, with CHD files in individual games folders for each region. It must be some issue with my BIOS. But that seems strange since my BIOS were added via the update all script. Are there any tricks for launching a game? also, I tried using other BIOS files but...

aberu

Why not? This might be normal.

Each core's resolutions will vary, not only by core, but often by the software that is running on the core (the roms).

What core are you referring to with a 640x224 reported resolution?

aberu

This is not quite correct though. An FPGA is a real-time computing platform. A CPU, even without an OS, will never be a true real-time platform. True, you can get very, very close with software running on a CPU (even with an OS). I cannot tell the difference between bsnes / higan and MiSTer SNES. But the MiSTer will always be "more accurate&q...

For RPi4 as a NAS, I would suggest checking this out:

https://github.com/danmons/retronas

I use it at home and it works great.

https://github.com/danmons/retronas/wiki/MiSTer-FPGA

I use it with a cheap Western Digital external 14 TB hard drive.

Do note that if you use WiFi it could introduce latency that might cause some issues in CD cores.

aberu

OK...this is crazy strange. I don't think the core has changed since I last tested (the day before the question about composite blending was posed)...and it was DEFINITELY adaptive, because the difference is visually quite obvious. I just retested, and it indeed appears to (now?) be full-screen blending...sort of. With blending on or off, watch th...

I want to tryout some scripting on my MiSTer. When a game is launched to get the core, name and path and doing a HTTP get for example with these variables. What is the most robust way to achieve that? Having a sample script how to do it or some references would be great :) https://github.com/wizzomafizzo/mrext Wizzo has a lot of this happening in ...
