Re: New computer core to be ported on DE10 : Rockwell AIM65

Sorry, too busy these days.
The problem comes from the low resolution which also implies small fonts.

Re: New computer core to be ported on DE10 : Rockwell AIM65

I don't have too much merit, I just tried. I am still learning FPGA programming, I don't know anything about the framework except that it is where the hardware dependencies reside. The SokIt uses a framework derived from the MISTer one so it seemed logical to first replace it, next was to change the chip model and redo the chip assignments. I am fa...

It looks like there was some corruption on your SD card. These files contain the data from the corrupted files.

Re: Analog IO board colour depth

If I am not mistaken it uses a resistive DAC, the more colors the more I/O pins needed and also the resistors have to be very accurate.

Re: New computer core to be ported on DE10 : Rockwell AIM65

On HDMI 1080p it looks horrible. This is the reason I first though the keyboard was sending garbage although the character typed seemed to appear. After that I started to try to figure out what was send by typing QWERTY. Q and W gave a ? and when I typed E it went into the editor. :D The core works but on HDMI it is close to be unusable.

Re: How to Monitor update_all Changes?

For Jotego arcades which are usually pushed on Friday I try to announce it.

Re: How to Monitor update_all Changes?

In real time you can ssh into MISTer, cd /media/fat/Scripts and ./update_all.sh.
Or afterwards ftp into MISTer, goto /media/fat/Scripts/.config/downloader and look at the downloader.log.

Re: New computer core to be ported on DE10 : Rockwell AIM65

On the first test I made I though I was in Basic, it was not so. I was in the monitor. Looking on @shinymetal6 Github I saw I had to type 5 to go into BASIC.

Re: New computer core to be ported on DE10 : Rockwell AIM65

Correction:
I though the KB was "sending" garbage. This is not the case: the font looks horrible on 1080p and the core seems to send other characters after the typed character.
I tried again without loading Basic.
Here is what I got.
I don't have much time so feel free to make some tests.

I tried to compile the project as is but I had some trouble. First the path to the roms and font are fully qualified and did not match the location of these files on my system. Example: .INIT_FILE("D:/SVN/verilog/Projects/aim65/aim65_quartus/rtl/aim65/ROM/monitor_z22.hex")) I wonder if these names can be relative and not absolute. I also ...

Re: Arcade Coin Acceptor via Daemonbite?

This is also what I think with the current being low and thus not requiring the resistor. I also saw such a circuit.
Here is a web page for 5V to 3.3V. I don't really know what to think about all that.
