No problem.

CPS1/2 has 224 active lines in a 240 line signal. It's the same thing with most of the NTSC consoles. This is correct behavior.

That should do the trick. If you look at the top of that page there is a link to a default ini file that has all of the options included. Vscale_mode is line 9.

Yes, it would be in the mister.ini file. I would suggest reading up on it here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... tion-Files

Do you have vscale set to anything other than 0?

Your latter assumption is correct. None is unaltered stereo. Imagine none as LEFT and RIGHT are mixed as LEFT is fully left and RIGHT is fully right. 100% is LEFT and RIGHT are mixed fully in the center. Everything in between is some percentage of that mix. This is mostly helpful when using headphones, especially for cores like the Amiga where the ...

As far as I know the Amiga core does not support the vertical crop option in the same way as the console cores. The Amiga supports a vast number of resolutions, so the core allows for adjustments on a per resolution basis. There is a script that can set the proper zoom/crop for each game. More info can be found in this thread https://misterfpga.org...

This is fantastic. My day job is working with people with disabilities and I love seeing that things are capable of working with adaptive equipment such as this.

Not only that, but I imagine there are countless possibilities with this controller and some of the more in depth sims playable on the ao486 core.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned as far as software emulation goes is variable refresh rate. VRR setups (like Freesync and Gsync) typically solve the issues with non standard refresh rates of games as well as the added lag of vsync. Of course VRR support does not instantly make an emulator accurate or lag free, but for some emulators this tech ...

I see no reason to be skeptical either. As far as the Mister menu, srg320 mentions in the comments that it is not the Mister menu, but just a placeholder menu.

I took a crack at this, well, 4x at least. Please let me know if I am doing this the wrong way. I went into the overscan preferences in WorkBench and adjusted the PAL setting to be 270 pixels tall (1080/4) and then set the width to 676 (270x2.5=675, but WB would only allow for 674 or 676). I then used the Misters image adjust to maximize the visibl...

That's really interesting. Thanks.

Question, did the Lynx have a refresh rate that varied constantly throughout gameplay (like modern VRR?) or just each game could run at a different, constant, rate?

In the filters if you go to the misc folder there are the two scanline folders (sharp and soft). Within them you can find from 10% to 100% I believe.

Foxbat, on Mister it means the alternating scanlines themselves are 100% pure black.

This is great news, thanks so much FPGAzumSpass. Had one for a long time and loved California Games.

Finally finished up my MiSTer stick and case. gU9WoOw.jpg The case is nothing special, just a metal project box. Right now it's a pretty minimal setup, but it is what works best in my setup. I use my monitor's built in USB hub and selector switch to share my keyboard, mouse, and joystick between devices. It has plenty of room for expansion, so mayb...

I had lots of problems with most of the arcade cores when using a USB drive. What I ultimately did that, so far, has not had any issues was to put only the games folder on the USB drive, except for the mame and hbmame folders, which I left in the games folder on the SD card.

Thanks so much to nullobject for this core. I have never before been able to 1CC this game......and I still can not This was the game that introduced me to bullet hell shooters back in the day and it brings back some great memories.

jca, do you happen to be using the USB version of the update_all script?

I did have a thought, does your new monitor have an overdrive feature? If so, try adjusting that. I know on my monitor if it is set too high it does cause some weird issues.

If not, maybe post your mister.ini.

Is Slam Tilt using an interlaced mode? Try setting your Workbench to Pal HiRes Laced and see if it has the same effect.

That weird movement is because of the uneven scaling. Some people call it shimmering. There is nothing wrong with your monitor. If anything, it may be more noticeable on your new monitor because it might have less motion blur than your older monitor. Try some of the filters (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Filters_MiSTer).

Mahen, Yes, if you disable all filters you will have uneven pixel scaling even if you have vscale=1 in the mister.ini. That only applies integer scaling to the vertical axis, hence Vscale. Loot at the picture Chris23235 posted. Notice the checkerboard pattern is very uneven. This is not a bug, this is just the nature of scaling. The Amiga Workbench...

Ok, so that isn't an issue with your monitor, it is because the Amiga (and most everything else as well) has non square pixels. Try using some of the filters (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Filters_MiSTer) to see if they alleviate the problem for you. I would start with Interpolation Sharp and go from there. You may even find that with the filters...

Just so I make sure I understand what you are seeing correctly, the pixels are uneven. basically not all the same size? For example, in your image, the letter m. The "legs" of the letter are not all the same width. Is this what you are talking about? And it is especially noticeable when things are scrolling?

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but the integer scaling mode is only for the vertical axis. The horizontal will not be perfectly even because most retro computers and consoles did not have perfectly square pixels, especially when scaling to the correct aspect ratio. It would be especially noticeable on the Amiga workbench since, by default...

If the small border are on the left and right sides that is normal. Not all Neo Geo games used the full width of the screen, which is why there is the cropping option of 304px or 320px wide. Setting it to 320px will probably fill the whole screen, but some games may show unwanted garbage on the sides. Actually you'll probably find various games on ...

How well does your monitor handle 4:3 resolutions that only match up on one of the axis (1280x960 or 1366x1024)? I remember I used to have a plasma TV that had non square pixels. It was a 16x9 screen, but the resolution was 1024x768. I remember that feeding it a 1366x768 signal still produced a very good image. Obviously not the most ideal solution...

I've not used direct video so I can't say for certain, but if it outputs the original signal then it would be outputting a 400p@70hz signal, which the L5 series can not display. I've had both a 14L5 and a 20L5 and can say it won't sync to old DOS video signal timings. I remember it also didn't particularly like 640x480@60Hz from a modern PC either....

Fantastic page. Thank you very much.

How does one actually load the drivers in for this on Win95? I've tried the Device Wizard with no luck. This might not be 100%, going from memory. Click the Start button and go to Control Panel, then System. Go to the Device Manager tab Expand the Display Devices and select the current one (probably VGA?) Click Properties. Got to the driver tab Cl...
