MiSTer FPGA Forum

The VHD is on an external USB HDD attached directly to the MiSTer. Not mounted other than the update script.

Thanks, but it doesn't help. Still: The strange thing is the "loop*" which is readonly even after remount:

Can you tell me what the solution was? I'm dumb to linux...

Don't forget: Playstation is coming to town....

BTW MiSTer look gorgeous on Plazma !!!!

Changing the "fb_size" from "Automatic" to "Full size" in the "INI Settings" solved the problem

calling fbset, it says that
mode "512x384-0"
Seems it is the half of the resolution I set previously (1024x768), but don't know why

Ok, I know it is a Linux thing, but I'm not really famailiar either with Linux nor the current distribution.

My plasma monitor doesn't support the 1280x720 on its VGA input, so I had to set it to 1024x768 (video mode 1).
The problem with this is that when I'm switching to Linux, the shell is not able to display 80 characters.
Is there a way to overcome this (ie. narrower fonts or changing the DPI somehow)?

I can confirm now, that the sound is ok. Superb!

Thanks. Will check that ASAP.

It seems, that the sound effects are ok, but the music during the "get ready go" is somehow distorted...

Can you please provide the download link to the latest core? I also have sound distortion... According to this readme, it was updated on 2nd of may: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade-Astrocade_MiSTer EDIT: sorry, I've just seen that there is a newer core - https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade-Astrocade_MiSTer/blob/master/releases/Arcade-Astr...

The above is the way to resolve this but any game which supports this would be changable in the DIP settings (arcade only). Also please don't do that if it's an original Point Blank, they are getting hard to find! You'd be far better off I think selling it to someone as a project (if it's missing guns, game etc) and buying a generic JAMMA cabinet....

It can be done super easily with a 3-4 minute hack of the yoke wires on the CRT tube. You just need to identify which axes need to be mirrored, and then snip and flip the wires for those yokes on the monitor itself. If you didn't want the permanent change, you could always try to wire up a switch to control flipping. Some monitors from that era ha...

It is PointBlank/GunBullet: https://arcadedirect.co.uk/point-blank-arcade-machine/
I was planning to add sticks/buttons to it and use it with MiSTER

I have a Jamma cabinet in which the display can be seen through a mirror. Is there a general option to display everything mirrored in order to see the picture right in my cabinet?

Thanks,
