Hi all, I have a serious problems to follow all these configurations. I found confused the thread with many configurations and I cannot swap between multiple pages and links. There is someone that can help me? I have purchase 2 led panels, 1 trinity board and a module sd, after I have flashed with Arduino, but with some errors, also the wiring is ...

Just came across this very interesting and affordable USB controller released by Pine64 for their Roshambo console. I like the combination of a SFC/SNES lower and modern dual thumbsticks. If only it was a 6-button fighter design! Does anyone have any experience using these? https://pine64.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Roshambo-gamepad-3.jpg https:...

Managed to get it working - I just had to put the GBA into controller mode using GBI Player on a GameCube or the GBA-as-Controller utility (requires a flash cart) first then connect it to the Mayflash adaptor while it's still on.

amazing! i gotta dig up some old hardware and try this!

sold out!

They most likely did it that way so it can fit in a slim case. You can always modify it by swapping out the pin header for a female header or using a female header on the PI and using it as hat but then you'll need to either not use the case or design and 3D print a new case to fit the protruding PI. You may be able to get a hold of low profile he...

Missus

all of that makes perfect sense but why didnt you make the pi-MMS a normal/removable pi hat? soldering it down -onto a header- is... strange

Missus

Hello, the Multisystem can be set to be a USER port (3.3v signals) or the SNAC port (usually 5v for game controls etc). Multisystem does not require the use of the SNAC level shifter board as we integrated all that into the Multisystem, just selected by J17. To use a MT32Pi on the Multisystem all you need to do is have J17 jumper set to be 3.3V (P...

Careful, isn't one of the header on backwards/upside down or something?

I seem to to recall a previous post...

Found it, false alarm, its the robot kit that has the flipped header:

I wanted to add information about a usb-c cable that will -not- work with this screen in case others are looking for similar solutions.

This cable does provide power and turn on the display but it will not also display video:

Many thanks for your offer, but I'm residing on the other side of the northern hemisphere, in Germany to be precise. But I read a 'lil bit about setting up a Chromebook, and as long as you can "open" it to gain full access, everything else should be a more-or-less standard setup of Linux. A culprit could be the graphics driver, but that ...

Missus

Thanks anyway; contact me if you need help in setting up your Chromebook for tty2rpi (maybe I should get a cheap one for myself for some handicrafts). Thanks @RealLarry If you're in the states, I'd be happy to send one your way (sans power brick, dont have any spares) if you'd like. Otherwise I will post here once i get a chance to dig in. BTW thi...

That would be very nice to know, indeed. I'd say if it can run a Linux and has the possibility to drive a display, it will work. Whatever hardware, whatever display, whatever Linux. The hardware and software requirements are very low as it is already running on a RPi1. ill volunteer to test! i got a few MrChromebox'd flashed machines with HDMI sit...

has anyone set this up on any other 'fruit' pis?
would be nice to be able to use a cheaper/more available sbc!

after reading the documentation, kinda seems like this could work on any linux sbc or pc even!

Yeah I finally got the SNAC adapter and it's awesome getting to enjoy lightgun games on my 31Khz CRT monitor! My 15 Khz consumer trinitron is so much fuzzier so it always sucks needing to play lightgun games on that.

so what was the one weird trick?
the 100% black scanline mentioned before?
or it 'just worked' as you originally postulated?

Missus

i just built one too, works great.
thanks for the writeup and code folks!

But I still have no idea why you opted for exotic, pretty expensive and exotic RISC-V board instead of easily accessible, cheap, well knowed Raspberry? Raspberry is also convenient choice due to MT32-Pi.

easily accessible, cheap, convenient... raspberry pi?
did you just time warp back to 2020?

Can you please tell me if a standard 5v USB port with a USB-A to C cable is capable of powering that screen? If so, I think I'm going to order that one. Thank you in advance! Yes you can power the screen from either port as you describe. I tested A-C, and A-micro while Passing HDMI input and both worked as expected. I tend to agree that the usb-c/...

Missus

Thanks TT - yes, I think the power splitter comes with the USB board from misterfpga? Coming back on the controller subject, I was watching this super helpful YT video from the brilliant Esoterica: That seems super simple with just one of those boards at £7 odd each for each controller and a few jumpers to a D plug. Is it really that simple? Anyon...

Pi-MMS back in stock finally!
I was able to grab one, can't wait to check it out!

Welcome! Before you decide on parts for the 'stack', check out the MiSTer multisystem board, especially since you don't have any hardware yet. It combines and 'consolizes' the mister and various addon boards. Has everything you could need to get started, all you need to add is the de-10 nano. Here is the manual: https://www.retrocollective.co.uk/as...

[quote="Allan Theo" post_id=67394 time=1673454160 Totaly agree, i have a lot of Famicom accessories and i would like to use them on MiSTer with a DB15 SNAC adapter. This is something we have hope to see in a near futur ? [/quote] I've been meaning to order this and try, but don't know if it will work. Good luck! https://ultimatemister.com...

Viewing/found this thread trying to get 2 player paddles working on 2600 via SNAC after finding a set at a used game store.

I found the unofficial/deprecated core solution, but it still kinda feels like i stepped in $#!+, haha!

Another +1 vote for native 2 player paddle in SNAC in 7800 core!

Question, does the software support multiple screens? Ex. multiple tty2tft, or perhaps an tty2oled and a tty2pico at the same time? Not in it's current state, but could be easily extended to. Good to know! I suppose I could have looked at the code a bit more before asking :) Pointedly, many thanks to you as well, RealLarry. Great work. Enabling us...

Could someone try my generic tty2x Script Daemon with this Display. See: https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tty2x I'll ordered this board (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCPGG812) and will help test.

Alot of effort for something thats essentially useless. The time is set from the internet on boot anyway

thanks for your opinion?

not everyone has their MiSTer always networked/internet connected. what would you propose those users do?

Missus

Well from what can be seen the components look ok. I bought a cheapie on amazon that didnt quite fit the connector and needed to be pressed in hard. I even broke a bit of plastic around the de-10 connector because the rtc connector is not an exact fit. That said, the module works and stays in place just fine. Double check you are fully seating your...

I also noticed some aliexpress sellers offering a touchscreen model. I dont need the touch capability but would be perfect for protecting the bare lcd panel.

I found and ordered this:

I finally got the two screens I ordered. One uses the dual mini HDMI and the other is USB-c with Mini-HDMI. They are amazing little screens! A couple of things about the USB-c model: My laptop will power and display a picture from one USB-c cable, great for a portable or second screen. Additionally, there are two usb-c ports, while one is marked as...
