At the point you are running a diferent CPU on the Cart its not really a game for that system anymore. Depends on your definition. The Super FX chip in Super NES cartridges was a 16- Bit RISC processor running at 21 MHz that made the SNES render 3D polygons. This chip was running cycles around the 65C816 8 Bit CPU that was clocked at 3.58MHz max (...

Thank you for the info Chris. I had no idea their were games you can play on the 2600 today that cant be played on MiSTer. Will the core ever be abe to play these games? Or is it just that the MiSTer is not compatible with the hardware in these games? cheers The board Galagon uses has an extra ARM CPU on board. I doubt this will be implemented. As...

Chris23235

Hi guys, just getting into this great core for this 1st time, has anybody managed to get the homebrew game Galagon to work for the 2600 in the core? Any reason why this wont work on the core but works on the actual hardware? Thanx :) Galagon uses the Melody Board, the cartridge has extra hardware on board that enhance the possibilities of the 2600...

Not fully fixed for me, but much improved. I still get some cracking whenever the sound is inititalised (e.g. after loading). It's very short, but audible (only tried DualSDRAM now). I was referring to the menu sounds...never heard it on load, but wasn't listening for it, either. Yes in the menu it is fixed for me too. Not sure if the small audibl...

Great!

Does somebody have Q*bee? Isn’t available anymore.

The game is still sold in physical form

So i have an N64 USB pad that i bought ages ago Im not sure on the manufacture as theres no marking just says 'Made in China' on the top of the pad. The pad works fine in Windows but with the MiSTer it doesn't detect any movement when moving the analog stick up and down!. Any ideas why this happens? Make sure you didn't map the analog stick in the...

Chris23235

The game was a KS2 backer reward it will be made available for backers first but I am pretty sure it will come to KS1 Nexts/clones at a later date.

Thanks. So, if I were to purchase a usb-midi Interface, like a Roland UM-1, would the ST core with Cubase be able to use it for input and the MT-32pi for output?

Yes, this would work. I use a OTraki Midi USB converter for this, it works in the same way as the Roland UM-1.

Chris23235

Hi all, I just got an MT-32pi, and it is finally set up and working well. It was a bit of a process, thanks to a defective SD-Card, voltage-draining power switch, and some gain-staging issues. The MT-32pi is connected to my IO board via the user port, and I have the standard MiSTer MT-32pi hat. Anyway, I have it working with the ST core, and with ...

I got a KS2 sdcard. Made an image of it and it works perfectly with the MiSTer core. Firmware 1.44, Nextos 2.08. Only Core 3.02 would be cool as games like Atic Atac and certainly future games not working

As far as I know all SD cards contain the necessary cores for both FPGA models.

Just tried Exhumed on the 20240222 nightly and sadly it's not fixed in the DualRam or the SingleRam core.

Very interesting - confirmed. That means whatever is causing that click is something different.

Cool game, too. =)

Very cool game, discovered it recently myself because of a YT video about the Saturn core.

The clicking may be fixed now:

EDIT: OutRun also works properly again.

We just have to wait a little bit longer

Chris23235

First it was very promising as latest firmware was on it - but the games that are delivered with that new batch do not work flawlessly on the MiSTer core as it obviously checks it’s a real Spectrum Next and the MiSTer core doesn’t pass that test and the games doesn’t work. What? The creators of the Next have encouraged folks to spin off and port t...

Chris23235

Yes, playing the games that come as an extra for the batch 2 buyers results in a message after some minutes that these games are only for batch 2 buyers and if you want to continue to play it you have to buy them. So there must be some kind of hardware check on the Spectrum Next that allows these games to verify the computer they are running on. T...

I let Daytona USA run through the demo loop twice and didn't hear any audio abnormalities. It is indeed louder by intention (see "fix output levels"): https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Saturn_MiSTer/commit/762210a7adaf641f5b6a9d3068ec7efc640b901a My description should have been more detailed. The Daytona demo sounds fine (mostly), there is...

Chris23235

Audio on the latest nightly build (20240217) seems to be louder then before but I get cracking noises on both dual ram (2.9) and single ram builds while it was fine before. Can anybody confirm this (tried Daytone USA and Exhumed).

This thread started nearly 4 years ago, why bump it up ?
4 years ago, the Amiga core wasn't as good as it is today, so it might have had slowdowns in 2020.

The core wasn't affected by slowdowns back then either. The Minimig was able to simulate an A500 by around 2008 and the current core is derived from this project.

What exactly is "Retro Controller USB"? Google doesn't give me an adapter when I look the term up. The first one. I did that and it works (although I tested it only on my PC as of now). Here's a modified diagram with the correct cable colors in case someone is using an aliexpress DB9 joystick extension (but check the colors first). CHECK...

Chris23235

I wouldn’t call it pointless. I quite like a few of the Next games. I guess Armakuni talke about Sorgelig who pointed out several times that he doesn't see the purpose of a ZX Spectrum Next. @CartoonDonkey Sounds like quite the argument for buying the real thing to me. Problem is that this is nearly impossible as they are only produced on demand t...

I wish i remember better - could old TV have the bigger afterglow effect, and computer monitor less, using a better phosphor composition? In general the afterglow effect on a consumer TV and an 1980s RGB monitor was more of less similar. But in the 1990s when VGA monitors with higher refresh rates became the norm the afterglow was weaker due to im...

I purchased this pad at a very good price (10€) and the quality looks very promising, much more than my Tronsmart Mars from years ago. But, I don't get rumble with it. I tried connecting it with B button prssed, but no luck. It should switch to X-input Do you have any clue? You have to activate the XInput mode to get rumble, from the 8BitDo websit...

Just been getting back into playing more games that i used to play on my 800xl in the 80s. i was playing Commando but i cant figure out how to throw the grenades? I thought it would be space bar or fire 2 or 3 on control pad but nothing seems to work. i also looked for game instructions for it but cant seem to find any for this game online. Anyone...

Chris23235

Any news to this core for MiSTer? Looking at the video above your post it seems there is nothing to do, the current core already supports the Videopac+ G7400 games. Seeing the menu, it seems that this is for the Mist and not (yet) for the Mister unfortunately. Ah, my bad. You are right. So familiar with both machines that I didn't realise it.

Chris23235

I bought a cable with the barrel connector on one side and USB on the other to power the Mister with a small USB power supply. Plugging the cable into the USB port of the power supply is easy and reliable.

Chris23235

I don't seem to have the option for TOS 1.06. Where would I find that to add it, if that's what I need to do? Just google for the TOS version, they are easy to find. The games you listed should work fine in all versions. With disc versions don't go over 1MB as some games were not comfortable with to much RAM. Which versions of the game do you try....

I have a wired 8bitdo pro 2, and I discovered today that the vibration only works if the core is set to DualShock, so maybe try that?

That's expected, none other controller then the DualShock hat vibration on the PSX.
