Re: Wonder Boy in Monster Land Core not Working

It only works with the unofficial core from Blackwine, it is not part of the official release.

Re: Flight sticks

I am not sure your method would work: renaming the core does not do much besides renaming the core.
It will use the games/ao496 and all the configuration files will be named ao486..., including input mapping.

Re: Flight sticks

Regarding the custom keybinds, I am thinking about making duplicate cores for the various games that need it. Basically copy the ao486 core to a "WingCommander" core and just have the one game on the hard drive, and set up and save my custom bindings. There are not that many games that need it that I care about so it seems doable. I woul...

Re: Just Starting Out With MiSTer Some Basic Questions?

Set aside the primary et replace it with the 512MB one (after having prepared it using Mr Fusion).
The secondary SD card is used only by very few cores and is not even necessary as these cores can also use disk images from the primary SD card.

Re: Not being assigned an IP ethernet?

I always avoid moving the SD card as these connectors are fragile. I always use WinSCP and recently someone said to switch WinSCP from the default SFTP to FTP; this improve the speed considerably.
It is still slow but who cares.

Re: Not being assigned an IP ethernet?

I also forgot to mention the cross-over cable. I did not know that you had a Wi-Fi dongle on your PC so your PC will get a regular IP on Wi-Fi. When you connect your MISTer to your PC via a cable I suppose at that point your wired connection on your PC will get the 169... address because it does not see a DHCP server. By giving fixed IPs to your MI...

Re: Not being assigned an IP ethernet?

You need a DHCP server somewhere, IP addresses do not come out of thin air. If you check the IP on your PC it will be something starting by 169.
One solution would be to connect both your PC and MISTer via a router. If you want to use a direct cable you would have to give a fixed IP both to your PC and MISTer.

Re: Taito System SJ Core Released

Yesterday I did not have a chance to try anything, only did the update. Today is early morning and I just loaded the first 2 mras, planning to test everything later on during the day. Thanks for the tip. Instead of duplicating the rom I edited the mra and changed the rom name to junglek.zip.

The mras where not in the right place in the repository, this is fixed. You may also have run the update all script too early before the roms where made available in Arcade ROMs DB. Run it again.

Re: External USB Hub?

MISTer has only 1 USB port usable for controllers (and other devices) so a USB hub is generally used (it must be an OTG hub). As long as you use a cable which does not go over the limit there should be no problem. The signals go at near light speed on the cable so it won't add delay.

You also have this IP problem. How do you power the MISTer and the hub? Are you using a splitter? Do you have a switch on the 5V?

Re: My MiSTer Keeps Changing Its (Wired) IP Address All of a Sudden

Strange! Last Linux update was 05/01 so I suppose you would have noticed the problem earlier. If you did not change anything on your router there does not seem to have any reason for renewing the lease.
You could put your MISTer in fixed IP and see what it gives.
