today i noticed, after mounting all folders under games/, the update_all script is failing due to a permissions error on /media/fat/games/Apple-I. it update runs fine if i unmount the shares (via nfs_unmount.sh). it seems like permissions for Apple-I is set the same as everything else under games as far as I can tell. drwxr-xr-x 4 dbus dbus 7 Mar ...

That's not a bad deal. It's a shame that it's only the themed controllers available. I was about to order one until I saw that.

Are you using the updated kernel with the new driver included in it? AFAIK, it was only released via Discord.

I own a Virtual Boy that I'd be willing to donate if a sacrificial model is necessary for the effort. Any devs interested in that, please PM me.

It's always preferable to play with default settings, but for some reason about a decade ago, it became popular for people to replace the music on rips with louder music, and this is also the reason why there is a "CD Audio Boost" setting on the core (note: "Off" is normal console behaviour). This will of course have an impact ...

Along with the DS4, the DualSense controller is pretty good. I'm also very pleased with my 8bitdo SN30 Pro+.

But no matter the controller's quality, sometimes you just can't really substitute for an original controller because of the design. For example the Intellivision or N64 controllers just don't map well to a modern gamepad (IMO).

Any recommendations for shadow masks for this? So many options. I guess you’re supposed to match the red, green and blue order of your display’s sub pixels with the appropriate filter(RGB, GBR, BGR, etc)? I've played with options pretty extensively on this screen, and at least a couple resemble CRTs that I actually used back when. Everyone is goin...

Very odd. If it were me I would setup a fresh installation just to eliminate possible causes.

Have you tried to put those problem games locally on the SD card and running them from there instead of from your network share?

I still can't launch any games on this core so far... I know it's still a nightly build, but I don't understand why I am not able to launch games that people can already play... I tested with serveral BIOS, followed many guides, the only game I can launch is Parodius with no music, and Burning Ranger but I'm stuck at file selection. I even tried t...

edit: whooops sorry for the necrobump, didnt notice that was a september '22! I wouldn't worry about the bump. I've seen that the preference is to continue discussion on the same thread rather than starting a new one even years later. So given that, I don't think you committed any transgressions, and I think your message was a good addition to the...

The "Bit mythology" strikes again in 2023

I love how people are shocked to know that the Og Xbox was "a 32bit system".

The Intellivision was a 16 bit system in 1979!

I have a NSO N64 Controller, and it works great once you get the updated linux kernel in place that has the driver needed for it (available on Discord). Prior to that, the controller will "twitch" random input making mapping it and using it in games difficult. I can observe this happening on a different linux PC as well, so it's something...

Nobody answered you, so I will attempt that: The FPGA cores we have strive to resemble real hardware. Features like that in software emulation aren't simple to translate to FPGA logic, and since it's hard enough to get an accurate core written, extensions such as that are not really in the cards. Features like save states are simple to implement in...

I wholeheartedly agree. The screen only seems small at first glance. Add that stand that LamerDeluxe recommended (I got one, it's really nice) and you can adjust it for whatever perfect angle you need. After that the screen's resolution makes all the filters and shadowmasks look fantastic. It feels bigger than it is after that's all setup.

The first game is already playable on this core*! That's astounding progress in such a short time!

Robert, you are a machine!

As an owner of the same display, I would also appreciate your proposed option. As for an immediate fix, and it's probably a good bit of work, but: you could move your games to a USB drive or network drive and have separate SD cards for the OS, one for each display. Then you'd just change the SD card when you change displays. Thanks for your reply....

Yes makes sense,without haptics the battery life should be much better,I only used Dual Sense with PS5.but it's D-Pad is still the biggest disadvantage for retro games.it's bad.the Xbox Series controller D-Pad on the other hand is very good for 2D games.the best D-Pad of a modern controller. Isn't it funny how no matter how many generations of gam...

PistolsAtDawn

I think a Dual Shock 4 (V2) will be a much better option for Mister,the Dual Sense D-Pad is really bad for 2D games,and personally I felt DS4 was more comfortable and more ergonomic in my hands vs the Dual Sense. also Dual Sense has very poor battery life (at least on PS5) and you won't be able to use it's haptic features on Mister anyway. I can c...

For the USB-C version, I got a 196 x 147 mm glass screen protector from a seller on eBay that fits well (just a small gap on the sides) for $7. Center it well enough and it's super hard to tell it doesn't completely cover the screen while you're playing. The full actual screen size is 200x150mm for this screen version. I couldn't find a glass prote...

I just received my dual USB-C version today. Wow! This really is a great little screen! Shadow masks look AWESOME on it. Much less noticeable than on a 1080p screen. The included HDMI cable works fine with my MiSTer so far, and I'm able to power the screen from the USB ports on the MiSTer using a USB A to C cord (Anker). I am using a beefy 6 amp po...

Which Bluetooth adaptor do you use for the PS5 controller on MiSTer?

Just some cheap generic thing (inateck brand). Here's the usb device info:

Device 007: ID 0a5c:21ec Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0

PistolsAtDawn

The MiSTer can be picky about HDMI cables, even per display in my experience. Have you tried other cables?

PistolsAtDawn

FPGA devs, uh, find a way.

People still use FileZilla? I stopped using this when it became a spyware delivery service. Off Topic, FileZilla/Spyware refers to the Windows download only, but imho there not so much difference if using a spyware program on a spyware OS ;) SNCR yeah, yeah Mr Linux user, now go find me a software for Mint that will allow me to reprogramme all of ...

I think most people would be happy with an N64 core that plays well even if we can't have one that's fully accurate on the DE-10 Nano's specs.

Very exciting news indeed!

PistolsAtDawn

Very impressive work, Sergey! I can't wait to give this a spin!

PistolsAtDawn

Bump n Jump on Intellivision is an excellent port, even better than the NES version IMO. Would be great for a community challenge. I host the ones on the MiSTer Discord btw- currently we're doing Pirate Ship Higemaru :) I agree it's a good port. Most of the Intellivision's were. The club is inactive for a lack of time on my part and participation ...

PistolsAtDawn

That's an exciting list of games! I'm especially happy by the prospect of The Simpsons and Parodius DA!
