Hi! As far as I know Jotego is already working on a "Twin Cobra'" core. I guess he has a working board for this too. But you can ask him yourself about this. Help is always welcome. Is Jotego actually already working on it, or is it in the pipeline? Because then it could still take years. Personally, I think if it is only planned for som...

I would assume you would want keyboard -> Atari MIDI in-> cubase -> atari MIDI OUT -> MT32pi but Im not familiar with the MT32pi so YMMV anywway: Here's what Im using. Atari MIDI IN, THRU, ATARI MIDI OUT x 3 PXL_20240304_224209558.jpg Yeah, that MIDI adapter is fantastic, I followed it's development. The thing is, the mt32-pi doesn't have MIDI con...

It deleted a duplicate entry that I had added manually to the basic settings, I didn't see the existing one in the next section and for some reason a text search didn't find it.

I haven't noticed exclude list files, only blacklist ones. I should be able to check that tomorrow.

LamerDeluxe

It is incredible how easily we can play Amiga games and demos on the Pocket, thanks to AmigaVision, when its only other computer cores are PDP-1 (not sure if it even has more than one game) and VideoBrain. And you need a dock and keyboard to use the VideoBrain core properly.

LamerDeluxe

But then you'd also need a USB to MIDI adapter for the mt32-pi.

LamerDeluxe

Also interesting for events, where you don't want people messing around in the menus, while enabling them to select a game to play in a super easy way.

LamerDeluxe

Where are the blacklisted games added? I'm looking at the blacklist files in Scripts\.MiSTer_SAM\SAM_Gamelists but I'm not seeing any updates. Wait, my MiSTer_SAM.ini file keeps getting reset to a version with that option removed, why is that? EDIT: Never mind, I added the option to the ini myself and didn't notice that it was already there, furthe...

LamerDeluxe

Oh yeah makes sense. I added a new ini option: # When pushing "next game" button on controller, do we want to ignore the game that is currently on. # Only works if controller has been configured in menu (or try default button "select") ignore_when_skip="yes" Thanks! That will be really handy to filter out games that d...

Added a M82 mode to SAM. Turn your MiSTer into an M82. Available through the menu (presets) or the ini (m82=yes) Added a Next button for SAM which let's you skip games with your gamepad. By default it's "select" on your gamepad. If it doesn't work, try Configure Gamepad in SAM's menu Please make sure to update with SAM's updater. The nex...

LamerDeluxe

Or just launch the game you want to exclude and type /media/fat/Scripts/MiSTer_SAM_on.sh ignore in SSH. Sam will create the exclude list for you. That sounds like something that would be great to have in the MiSTer remote app. Or better still, a SAM configurable button on the controller. A button for adding for favorites (for checking the game out...

I had the pleasure of encountering this exotic computer at the local Commodore club meeting last Saturday.

Wow! What a beauty.
Comparing with the same decade computers (C64, Spectrum, BBC....) it's a unbelievable design.

It really is, the design looks quite ahead of its time.

I had the pleasure of encountering this exotic computer at the local Commodore club meeting last Saturday. such a great looking machine.. coupled with the obligatory WHSmiths CPD8300 :) I like how the UI has the same colors as the hardware. The compartment for function key labels is a nice touch. And the Atari CX40 style joystick looks cool (too b...

I had the pleasure of encountering this exotic computer at the local Commodore club meeting last Saturday. I had brought my MiSTer and remembered that there's an Enterprise core for it.

Let's hope it can be added to the official cores soon.

If you also want to be able to connect paddle controllers, I can highly recommend the Daptor PDL. However, the C64 and Amiga cores sadly currently only support the custom MiSTer adapter.

I tried Windows build of groovy_dolphin and it's pretty good! https://github.com/m-dahl/groovy-dolphin/releases 480i is slow for me (on Mister side) but 240p is nice. Sound is a bit hitchy and some image glitches here and there but looks great and feels nice overall. Forgive my ignorance ....but....what's exactly the point for groovy-dolphin? As f...

I had already done all of those steps and arrived at an odd looking menu with F11. Trying to boot the drive from that menu didn't do anything. Good to know it has built-in instructions, I'll have a look at them. Odd indeed. When everything works well, after doing "Load DIVMMC" from OSD you should see the esxdos boot sequence, then core s...

I also have no idea how to run this on the Spectrum core. Trying to run it on the ZXNext core just gives me a 'cannot load TBBLUE.FW' error. Adding that file to the games/ZXNext folder does nothing. To recap, on the ZX Spectrum core you need to: -unpack it to /media/fat/games/Spectrum and change the extension name to .vhd. -make sure you have the ...

Yeah, neGcon and Jogcon are working great here as well, fantastic to be able to use them with the PSX core. I wish the sync connector worked, because the light flashes when shooting don't mess up my monitor's sync. That is what happened all the time with my real Playstations, on every CRT I have, ruining my aim. I guess something odd is going on wi...

LamerDeluxe

I know that the Gameboy Advance and Lynx cores have it (I requested three frame blending for the latter one and Robert kindly added it). I would expect it to be possible, unless it is somehow tricky for CRT display oriented systems. Found the commit, feature is called flickerblend there https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/AtariLynx_MiSTer/commit/5222a...

LamerDeluxe

Glad to hear that you got it all working perfectly now! Sounds like the old memory module indeed had some mechanical problems, that could explain it. Enjoy your MiSTer!

Everything worked perfect for me too out of the box until lightguns were involved then it would go all weird.

So your Retrocastle adapter is also not working with a light gun?

LamerDeluxe

Good job! That is a neat looking solution.

LamerDeluxe

I managed to troubleshoot the solution over on the discord. All my problems were because of a jumper on my io board next to the io port being set to 3.3v instead of io. I hope that helps you too. ps. i use an aluminum case and desoldered my second usb as well Good to hear you solved your problem! And thanks for the tip! I'll have a look at it, tho...

LamerDeluxe

Wow, odd how that looks better than on a CRT.

LamerDeluxe

Your post reminded me that I have a GunCon and I have the Retrocastle PSX adapter as well. Somehow it doesn't seem to work with the GunCon. Buttons work, but aiming seems to do nothing. I plugged the GunCon sync plug into the adapter. Measuring with my scope, there's no signal coming from the sync connector on the adapter. Checking with my multimet...

LamerDeluxe

I use SAM as well on my CRT monitor and I think it is just a temporary loss of sync, while cores are switching. I don't expect this to be harmful.

LamerDeluxe

The shadows blink on the Nuked-MD Megadrive core too which is based on the original chip decaps, So possibly is the same on original hardware too True, but i might suggest that blinking shadows implementation expects some postglowing from CRT luminophore thus appearing as grayed area. I just tried it a CRT and the result is the same, so it is just...

LamerDeluxe

Really fun to read your first impressions, enjoy your MiSTer setup! The 8BitDo Neo Geo pads are great. If the idea of having it randomly displaying all your games for a lot of system cores sounds interesting to you, look into the MiSTer SAM script. It is really fun to have it running in the background. I use it in combination with a TTY2OLED displa...
