Re: 8bitdo Pro 2 Wired USB Xbox controller not working?

Not that it's any help to someone that already owns this exact controller, but the SN30 Pro series all work perfectly with MiSTer. No real benefit to having the Xbox branded version when the original already works, unless you also want the Xbox features to use on that console.

Re: Is it possible to switch MiSTer.ini and MiSTer_alt.ini with "Reset / OSD / User" buttons?

No, but you can switch with a shortcut on your controller. Select+up/down/left/right switches between them MiSTer currently supports up to 3 additional INI files that can be toggled in the OSD menu, either by going to Misc. Options (press left while in the menu) or by holding the menu back button on your controller and pressing a direction. This is...

Re: Some Scripts Stop Working For No Reason At All From Time To Time

I don’t think any of this matters. WiFi is just not something that is reliable on MiSTer. As someone who has only ever used WiFi and has never had it be anything short of rock solid, I'll respectfully disagree. I think that the majority of users probably use WiFi only, and presumably it works well for them as well. Or maybe I'm just lucky, but if ...

Re: Some Scripts Stop Working For No Reason At All From Time To Time

What's your MiSTer setup? OTG hub, or USB board? If OTG, is it self-powered, or just powered form the micro USB port? If USB board, how are you powering it? Just through the micro USB port, or do you have a Y splitter for the DE-10 nano's power? What's the rating on your power supply? Do you have an inline power switch?

Yeah, with adaptive scanlines and shadowmasks, the only major thing I see missing is alternating scanline fields for 480i content. I've officially boxed up my PVM at this point and just play on my plasma set.

Scanlines that get thicker/thinner based on how bright the pixels around it are. Will look more authentic. But we need the cores to be updated--you can get betas in the Discord I believe.

Re: Power USB Hub v2.1 Direct From DE10 Nano?

How can I wire power from the De-10 nano to the USB hub directly? You should be able to solder to the thru-hole solder pins below the power jack, and pass that through to the USB hub. You're effectively tapping directly into the DC adapter just like you would with a Y-adapter. There's a USB hub out on the market that does that--the USB hub has pro...

Re: Possible to manually wire some IO Board functionality direct to the DE-10's GPIO pins?

If it's going into an arcade cabinet and you don't need dual output (analog and didgital going to two displays at the same time), direct video is 100% the way to go. In fact, you'll get better quality output than you get on the IO board. Analog IO board is really only suitable for people that want dual output. And since you won't be able to access ...

Re: Film Grain / NTSC artifacts

Artifacting I can understand to some extent, but film grain? I guess it woudl add a retro aesthetic of some sort, but an entirely unnatural one. Film grain comes from the actual filming and processing of video on film stock. Video game consoles would never have anything like that. Maybe you're looking for something more like composite/RF noise?

I think so. Very cool. 8-) Which logo is displayed on the screen when the screensaver runs? Testing on the unit I got from you now.

I think most of the dongles with a Realtek RTL8821CU chipset should work with the latest update.

SNES contorllers have been tested and are equivalent to Pro controller latency, ~15ms. BT M30 polls ~11ms, for comparison. 2.4 M30 is also right around 11. M30 is only getting down to 5ms wireless if you're using a DB9 adapter, not the native USB receiver. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KlRObr3Be4zLch7Zyqg6qCJzGuhyGmXaOIUrpfncXIM/edit#gid=0

Re: Where would the second ram module go on the digital IO board if/when required

Plug the module in there, flip one of the switches on the DE-10, and you're set. PSX core runs on single RAM, with improvements with two sticks. Based on what we can see in the nightly builds now, single RAM for PSX is a shoe in, and the second stick will likely just be for some performance improvement. Saturn core is still far enough out that I wo...

Re: MiSTer Multisystem - All-in-One System

MT-32 uses the serial port, which the Multisystem has. If you don't go Multisystem, you'll need an IO board for that. SSD will use the USB ports, so no issues with conflict there.
