Today the framework got promoted to stable with many updates, but alas the couple of lines of code needed to make the spinner functional (with Arkanoid at least), are still missing :( Here are those lines by @ theypsilon , in case anyone wants to compile the newest MiSTer binary with the fix incorporated inside input.cpp : 5111 if (data[0] & 8)...

New garegga.rbf is out with changed SDRAM settings. Check it out if you're still having "bad rom" issues.

Sorry for pissing on your party guys, but can you inform me where one can source an OG LS-30!?

There's this recent HORI concept incorporating a rotary stick, but a surviving LS-30 one can get hold of is akin to buying the Mona Lisa

Any one getting a bad rom when trying to run garegga, tried the rom downloaded by update_all and the mame combined rom still the same i have all the same files on another mister and it works and all the other games the core supports work its a bit odd. I know it sounds silly, but did you try to power off (not cold reboot) and then power on your Mi...

I never thought I'd see the day on my MiSTer!

Onward to Dogyuun, Batsugun (...and maybe Truxton II), then I'll die a happy man!

Since I've started using the PSX core, I've had this odd issue where the main menu (where you manage memory card/cds) is shaking, like the menu text is flickering up/down quickly. Open the OSD, scroll down to " Video & Audio ", then from within change " Deinterlacing: " from " Bob " to " Weave ". Save se...

In order to combine tutor1.bin with tutor2.bin from the MAME .zip using Windows (so as to not get a condensed 16kb, useless bios rom), make sure you launch command prompt instead of PowerShell. Cd /D to the absolute path of the directory you're hosting the files, and then simply copy and enter: copy /b tutor1.bin+tutor2.bin Tutor.rom ...exactly as ...

You can always try the original Kempston "Competition Pro" joystick. Its rubber grommet/pivot is so thick you won't hear anything

I've been through a number of tethered headsets (with the OG Vive as my first foray), my standard always being outside-in tracking. I keep the Valve Index as the best all-rounder.

It seems like the rotary board is showing as a keyboard. So when you fire up the test core, it registers each turning "notch" as a different key press? If that's the case, then it's up to the developer of each individual core (which was originally built around a rotary joystick), to implement a "keyboard translation" control sc...

Does the test core report the rotary controls as being a mouse wheel [WHL]? If so, it's probably an issue similar to this.

@theypsilon (the update_all script guy) has found a solution, but this hasn't yet been amended inside MiSTer's linux kernel.

lamarax

Darren's on fire! Thank you for keeping us updated. I daily peruse Darren's github to see what's new. However, having to enable unofficial_cores inside the update_all script to be current with these awesome cores, comes with a downside; all the old, redundant MrX_8B cores get downloaded as well, and this messes up with the file structure.

I noticed Gameboy has an option for all the sprites casting a shadow. I'm wondering if that could be done for GNW core as well? Game Boy renders in a square pixel grid, hence the particular mask filter producing that "drop shadow" effect has been possible (that's why it requires both horizontal and vertical integer scaling for it to work...

Not to mention simulating liquid crystal "ripples" if you push too hard on the screen

I've updated the archive with slightly adjusted .svg alignments for Donkey Kong, Life Boat and Mickey & Donald.

It's quite hard to preserve the original aspect ratio of the segments, while having them fit to the backgrounds correctly. I found out that working with numbers instead of going by eye, gives better results.

...and his SNK triple Z80 core.

Little recognition has gone to the guy's efforts, although his output is top to begin with.

Right now I'm enjoying 'Athena' and I'm having so much fun!

Thank you!

I fully agree with you. We need a central place open to anyone who wants to collaborate. I thought archive.org might be a good solution for long-term storage but uploads seem to be limited to one account only. Does anyone have a suggestion? I suggest that Tonton copies my content into his repository/folder, so then I can happily delete mine altoge...

That's the one in the archive; problem is, the input map is not yet supported by the core (just like with "Fire Attack").

On another note, I've added Rain Shower

Ashfall wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 7:56 pm The Rainshower svg has the IDs reversed for the two layers. Open in notepad++ and find id=layer1 and id=layer2 and change them to the opposite.

Great find, thank you

As for the anti-aliasing bug with dual screen games, I suggest using:

Code: Select all

[GameNWatch]
vscale_mode=1

...in the .ini, and Interpolation (medium) as a filter for now.

lamarax

both packs only provide 15 out of 18 between them unfortunately. I wasn't able to convert Rain Shower unfortunately; the .svg's included in the MAME romset came out blank in the tool. As for the other two omitted, those use a weird display format, sorry :( The core is only going to improve from now on, so I guess we'll have to redo the conversions...

If anybody's looking for the missing SM510 games, search for "Game & Watch MiSTer FPGA" in the archive

Before the post mentioning editing the mra I already had downloaded the rom from 0.244 merged and it works. As I don't really understand all this mame stuff do I have to do something like changing the version in the mra from 0229 to 0244? No, I think 0244 CRC doesn't match that of the 0229 set. I got it working only once with the 0244 set, and the...
