Are you sure that before going to the NeoGeo core you didn’t open an arcade core or something?

I didn’t open any other cores beforehand.

SNES - 21.07.13
NeoGeo - 21.07.13

Hello, not sure where to post this since it involves switching cores: It has happened twice to me now that after an extended session of playing the SNES core and then switching over to the Neo Geo core, I have observed corrupted graphics on screen, like cycling screens of garbled graphics while the OSD displayed over it just fine. One of the times,...

Go into an area, kill a bad guy level up, leave comeback and do it over and over again.

Wouldn’t that only work if the battle encounters aren’t randomized, which they usually are? Plus if you get a back or pincer attack for example, this would throw your recording right out the window.

Can you uh... describe/show the issue?

Unless you’re outputting to CRT monitor that supports the exact same refresh (hz), you’re bound to see a frame skip once in a while. Most LCD monitors don’t refresh at the exact same rate, hence frameskips.

I wouldn’t exactly label “audio that is painful to listen to” as marginal. It’s so out of pitch it triggers the same reaction in me as the worst of The Voice contestants.

Yes it’s a very well known issue, documented here:

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NeoGeo_MiSTer/issues/60

Sadly there hasn’t been much activity or drive by core authors to fix it.

This has been fixed with the latest update!

@paulbnl @AtomicShroom I have posted an updated version of SNES which may fix the problem : End of input and begin of output during the same clock cycle. http://temlib.org/pub/mister/SNES.rbf http://temlib.org/pub/mister/SNES_border.rbf diff --git a/sys/ascal.vhd b/sys/ascal.vhd index 2d21b35..f157e9f 100644 --- a/sys/ascal.vhd +++ b/sys/ascal.vhd...

@AtomicShroom: Can you specify one game that exhibits this even when not being actively played so we can duration-test ourselves (without playing for 4 hours)? I tried with Super Mario World this morning and I was able to reproduce it by just leaving it idle for around 4 hours. Since the demo scrolls to the right it’s very easy to notice. Disconne...

Update:

I can confirm it happens with the NES core as well, so it’s probably MiSTer-wide and not isolated to the SNES core. Again same: Let a game run for around 4 hours, then tearing starts to occur.

i know theres a wall of text to read above, but i have basically the same TV as original poster, Q70r, and would notice odd tearing/artifacts/issues as well. this was remedied by switching to a dedicated computer monitor (Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx) instead of a consumer HDTV. and yes, i play specifically SNES for extended periods of time (mostly ...

Why would I do that? The goal here is 100% accuracy. I shouldn’t have to turn that on to resolve an issue that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Welp I had the same thing happen again while playing Tales of Phantasia for around 4 hours straight. Was absolutely fine before that, then it started tearing. As someone suggested, I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable and it didn’t do anything. I loaded another SNES game and it persisted. I switched to the NES core and loaded a gam...

This getting way confusing. So, the update_all script that comes bundled by default with the MiSTer setup image, will it one day pull the jotego cores once they become public or does it absolutely need to be modified in some way for that to ever happen? It can be confusing and it is becoming madness: As of today JT cores are distributed via the up...

The game Kawasaki Superbike Challenge doesn't seem to work. I get nothing but a black screen.

Is this known? Rom is from No-Intro rom set and works fine in emulators.

Hello, I've encountered a strange issue using my MiSTer with an 8bitdo controller and was wondering if it's something known and/or that should/can be fixed? I'm using the 8bitdo SN30, which replicates a SNES controller, but also has joysticks. The joysticks are fairly close to the D-Pad/buttons, so every once in a little while, inevitably I will ac...

Ohhh this looks like exactly what I need, thanks! Though having to go through commandline is a bit of a hassle. I was hoping I could pop my SD card onto Windows and have a visual interface where I can easily just select the files I'd like shortcuts for and be done with it. But oh well... Just save this script and copy it over to your /media/fat/sc...

I'd like to be able to organize games by category. For example I'd like to have a folder that contains only the best games for each system, but also one that contains all the games, including the best ones. The only way I see this being possible right now is by actually duplicating roms, which wastes valuable space. Is there a way to use shortcut f...

Coming in to the NeoGeo core from the other ones, thinking it would be just as flawless, starting one of these games I've never played before, thinking "Wait, what? They shipped that game with the music all out of tune like this? Weird.", and then realizing from this thread it wasn't actually meant to be, is kind of both reassuring and co...

Not sure what I did but for the moment my TV has stopped trying to recognize the MiSTer every time I power it on, so issue resolved for the moment. *fingers crossed*. Check your INI file Either you read my post wrong or I didn't express myself correctly, but what I meant is that the problem is resolved. The TV no longer enters its "new device...

If I disable CEC on my TV, it no longer sees my AVR. Unfortunately it can't be disabled on a per-port basis. It's all or nothing. That's awful! You could try an HDMI switch in between the TV and MiSTer. Might fool the TV into thinking it's already detected what's on that HDMI port. Not sure what I did but for the moment my TV has stopped trying to...

Have you tried ALT+F12? Well first of all the very idea of having to use a keyboard goes against the kind of simplicity I’m looking for. But beyond that it doesn’t change anything? It brings you to the core selection menu, but doesn’t hide settings/options in any way when in the OSD? Am I missing something? When you say it's cluttered, what are yo...

I wish there was a way to toggle a fool-proof simplified "User friendly mode" or "Party mode" UI that would hide most anything that isn't picking games and starting them. Hear me out. Typically a bunch of friends of mine and myself rent cottages throughout the year, one week-end here and there, so we can throw big parties and ha...

No luck unfortunately. What I ended up doing is connecting the MiSTer directly to the TV using the Lindy CEC-less adapter. I get a signal and everything works fine, and no CEC interference either. However due to CEC being disabled, my TV recognizes the MiSTer as a new device every single time I power it on and enters the "Attempting to detect...

Have you played a single rom for 4-5 hours straight? yes of course, ive grinded thru kaizo hacks for quite a while in one sitting. 4 hours with 1 rom loaded and no switching cores/restarting is something i probably do the most on the mister. my current setup im using now is with a computer LCD monitor. but, when i was using my 4K TV (samsung q70r)...
