For those who're itchy to play "Zero Wing" (not "Out Zone" yet I'm afraid), and still haven't been able to make it run, try this:
Just dump the .mra's directly under _Arcade and the .rbf inside _Arcade/cores. It's a couple of iterations behind, but it's working

actually... he he's been persistently refusing to open a Patreon, all the while people were insisting for him to do so.

That's Toaplan v1 alright. There's another guy, Pramod Somashekar, who's been working on the v2 hardware with focus on the Raizing boards, but he has locked his twitter because people have apparently been too... pushy

You need to get the core from the #test-builds channel, not the one in #unstable-nightlies

You might have enabled phone verification at some earlier time. It's not so much that individual server ask for a phone number, it just turns out that if some verification method is enforced on the server; the end user has to provide a phone number. I believe those who have registered before a certain date (a couple of years ago?), are not forced ...

Thanks to @ theypsilon , we now have the ability to use exclusion tags regarding what gets downloaded with each update. After today's spontaneous "reorganization" of the ludicrously bloated stitchwork showcase Shadow_Masks folder, and the arbitrary "deprecation" of the only filters I care about (namely Jovec's), my downloader.in...

[...] Spinners end of month. Boa noite caro Ricardo, I'm wondering if you got wind of this: Hori_potential_combined_controller.png Maybe I'm dreaming, but I'm sure you have the skill to come up with something much better; i.e. a combined spinner-trackball- rotary joystick * controller which would cover all most of our possible arcade needs :mrgree...

Dear Macro,
Please correct the typo in the last release. The downloader script is pulling the penultimate core each time, and it's-a-driving me crazy

The most faithful (i.e. "correct by the numbers") mask I've encountered among the tenths, is @ LamerDeluxe 's Realistic->Slot->Slot Bright . However, it doesn't yet take into account different resolutions, nor does it use luminosity coefficients. The result is that it looks overlayed on the display, much like most of the other respected e...

At least now I know that the update script did not mess anything. [OT] Since yesterday, the 'downloader' script features opt-out tags/exclusion filters. Quite handy, and very granular as well. Look here for the details on how to set it up. [/OT] On topic: I think I've dug out every -correct- image needed to build boot.rom , except graphfont.bin . ...

They are not compatible. ghogan42 or someone else will have to create new composite blend filters from scratch. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Filters_MiSTer/pull/32 They're not called "composite blend" filters. But they're there, inside the interpolation folders. Try them. I get that people don't have much time, will, or inclination to...

Looking forward to the ‘adapted’ versions. These just got merged! Onto manually re-adjusting each and every core (with trial-and-error)! :lol: Remember; you'll want interpolation in the 'horz' field (' Upscale - Recommended ' is what I uh, recommend; they're Gaussian sharpening filters), and scanlines in the 'vert' field. Presets in the root of th...

Dacaskos wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 3:26 pm Is there a "safe" way to rollback Mister updates?

Yes, just download the previous Main_MiSTer file. But why would you do that?

In the ' Horz filter ' field, select ' From file ' and then choose one of the interpolation filters (or the scanline filter you were already using; it won't matter, since only the "blurriness" values will be read). In the ' Vert filter ' field, choose one of the already existing vertical scanline filters; ' Scan filter ' setting, you can ...

That's a highly speculative question I'm afraid. Currently the only lightguns functioning with LLAPI BlisSTer via HDMI cable/adaptors, are the NES Zapper, plus recently AFAIK, the SNES Super Scope/Justifier etc. (but only with the revised cable and firmware). That said, since I don't own any lightgun, I can't attest to their 'cross-operability' so ...

I've got a few of these PCE adaptors built (in UK), give me PM if yr interested =] I've finally (f*k customs) received mine after 2 whole months 🥳 Thank you both @ gojira54 for the impeccable job, and you @ dshadoff for the expert design! 👌 PSA: Meanwhile, I... ah, uh... discovered that turbo/auto-fire switches do work via the standard 'open colle...

Maybe you'll want to PM jotego himself re: your question?

I don't see how anyone else here could comfort enlighten you...

Your .ini looks fine to me... maybe set: refresh_min= refresh_max= ...to your panel's specs. Also, try to reload the offending cores once or twice without rebooting, and see what happens* *There's a known issue/bug with DoDonPachi, as selecting 57Hz in the OSD forces precisely that with HDMI. Assuming your panel supports it, try to directly feed-in...

You too bazza!

Merry Christmas to everyone

Yeah my bad, you'll want this instead:
That's the disk extended color BASIC (v 2.1)

Still, I cannot fathom how to load disk images; all 4 reported drives won't let me boot to any .dsk. Maybe there's a command we need to enter at the prompt

Which monitor? The Nitro XF243Y you're quoting, or the ASUS PA248QV the thread's all about?

If you're talking about the later, then maybe double-check your HDMI cable, as mine syncs with everything I throw at it, to a T.

aahh, what the heck. Here's your hint:
Please note; Cartridges work fine, cassettes load fine, but the extended disk color BASIC rom included (last version 1.4 from 1985), gives me trouble mounting .dsk files. Go to TRS-80 Color Computer Archive, to test your luck with the plethora of dumps

Did I say thank you? Thank you Jos! Your masks are the most faithful out there! I'm partial to your first endeavor; I'm using a 1920x1200 panel with the MiSTer, and while all the 'Grid' masks are mathematically correct so to speak, I'm getting the best results with "Thin RGB Stripes v2", and "Squished VGA v2". Please preserve th...

Woah! Thin RGB stripes v2 look spot-on! All that remains, is to curve my monitor and inject some radioactive matter into it (you know; for the glow)

Update! due to the X68000 beta core release: ChōRenSha 68K (of course) Mahou Daisakusen (better than its CPS2 sequel: Dimahoo , IMO) ZugyĀ (kinda twin-stick shooter feeling, but highly recommended nevertheless!) *There's also Xadlak and Xadlak Plus , but they won't (properly) run currently. Disclaimer: I'm only quoting titles not already present in...

It should read:

Here's what you need:

OK, then maybe try these*:

*those are taken directly from my working setup

That's because you're using an external drive. Try moving the bios files into the respective SD card folder (media/fat/games/NeoGeo).

Try launching the .mras directly (from under 'Arcade').

I believe there's an issue with symlinks created by the arcade_organizer script.

Thank you Sorg, Rysha, wark91, and everyone else involved!

I guess this core is the closest we'll get to the Sega 'zoomer' titles; Space Harrier plays awesome! ...while Super Hang-On refuses to run

Also, Chō Ren Sha for life!
