Re: Neo Geo CPU Overclocking?

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...

Re: Neo Geo CPU Overclocking?

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 ...

Re: Joystick Support Under Windows 95?

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...

Re: Saturn Core Does Not Launch Games

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.

Re: Best All-Round Controller

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.

Re: No video when dvi_mode=0

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.

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...

Re: Video Info On CRT TV 15Khz

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?

Re: The “Cycle Accurate” Conundrum and Is There a List of Cores That Are?

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:

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.

Re: Questions for users without an IO board

When I was building my third one I used the 40mm version of the one Calolo posted until I received more parts. I used this one in a little 3d printed arcade cab that wasn't really designed for anything bigger than an RPi4. 40mm fans will run a bit quieter and are more readily available, so that is probably the right way to go for your design.
