Re: White Screen?

I am not so sure of that: On my MISTer I have the Darsoft roms but I also have a few neo ROMs and I have no problem. I cannot access my MISTer right now but if I remember correctly I have the Darksoft ROMs zipped in the NeoGeo folder and each neo ROM in its own directory. For the neo ROMs they can also be in NeoGeo directory but I placed then in th...

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.

Re: USB Hub Occasionally Not Working?

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.

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

I mentioned Grant site because he gives technical information on these cores but these 2 cores have been ported to MISTer so it is better to look at the MISTer source. As an apart: this is thanks to Grant site that I own a MISTer. I started by buying the little FPGA board used in his projects, played with it, discovered the MISTer project and ended...

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...

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.

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

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.
