Re: Elan Enterprise Core Release Candidate by RW FPGA-Dev Team

To get you started....Enter dos by typing :exdos Then from there is fairly close to old msdos/pcdos (h:, cd folder...) and to load .com/.exe files it's load tetris.com . Home key/button is Pause/Hold, End key/button is Stop. The second link in ron's original post (szergitata) has some info and it also mentions that they did a post already detailin...

@ Grabulosaure, Thank you so much for this new release. Finally Solaris booted perfectly fine! When you get a chance, could you please advise if there is anything I can edit/change in order to visualise the characters correctly on the screen? They all appear in a sort of very low quality in my case. Thanks again! EDIT: I think I have got it! Applyi...

Re: Zero Wing by Toaplan Arcade Core Released

Does anyone know if there is an mra file that removes the red flashing effect in Zero Wing or if this could this be added as an option to the core in some way? I know there is a cheat in mame which disables it. There you go... This patch can be applied to eproms and run on real hardware as well. https://github.com/atrac17/Arcade_Offset/commit/969a...

Re: How do you re-create a video console?

One thing I would say, my problem was, looking a bit and then trying to look at something else, or thinking some different hardware would allow me to 'get it'. In the end the only thing that let me get it was building it on a breadboard first and then doing it in Verilog. That's why I'm trying to shorten that learning curve in my videos. I think y...

This happens with all Sega16 alternatives, the zip is too old.
Yeah, I have just noticed that as well. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity do the commands work for you while using the 'original' MRA? Thanks.

Did somebody manage to setup the buttons for this core?

I have been trying a few times but to no avail. No matter which button I assign to start and coin, none would work.

Thanks!

@Flandango,

I would love yo try out your core. I have downloaded the .zip file. It seems to contain only the .rbf file.

Thanks

Re: SparcStation Core

For SunOS and Solaris I use the old SS.rbf. For NeXTSTEP and Linux Etch I use the New SS5.rbf. SS20.rbf is waiting for anyone making a NetBSD image to test with 3 CPUs. ;) Until now I did not do much with the different OSes, I just test that they work, don't destroy the disks and can reboot. It takes so long doing that. For example this morning I ...

I had no problem with NeXTSTEP, I did it from the GUI, I have to check where it is but it is there. The same with Linux but it is difficult to find it, I have to re-upload the disk as I destroyed it last time I used it. For Linux it can also be done from the terminal but there is a little trick: the shutdown command is in sbin which is not accessi...
