MiSTer FPGA Forum

I tested the game with a recently acquired Logitech G920 wheel and pedals. I was able to get the game to play using the setup, but found that during gameplay the pedals would get confused. Basically, once I tapped the brake pedal, it would then require me to hold the brake pedal in order for the acceleration pedal to work. Any known reason why thi...

The Spectrum Recreated support has been merged into the main core! Sorgelig did mention that ZX80 mode has a completely different layout to the ZX81, if that core also gets official support. I have no idea how popular the ZX80 is, I don't think anyone familiar with it would expect it to work with the Spectrum keyboard. GREAT NEWS, thanks for your ...

@Sorgelig I beg you to reconsider. The market for these keyboards may not be huge, but most of us are NOT using MiSTer as a dedicated Speccy solution - that doesn't make a (togglable) input device undesirable or not useful! I don't think anyone advocating for this *wants* to use it with other cores - we just want to use it when we run THIS core! I...

EDIT: Not because MikeS1 didn't want to do it, but because it turned out to be easy to do

Sure, it's exactly the right think to do, thanks a lot!!!

I've sent MikeS1 a DM about this, hopefully he will have some time to help out.

Thanks!

Just received this build from MikeS1, please test it.

Just tested, it perfectly works, THANKS! Maybe MikeS1 can merge the pgmeno patch in the main code?

Yes, while I haven't been able to configure it as a controller, the basics work. The home button is F12(menu), the directional pad works and the center button is execute. That is about as much as I have been able to get to work. This at least lets me navigate the cores, launch roms and menu of course lets me get out of the game. Outside of having ...

Is F12 working?

yeah, PM it to me or hit me up on Discord...

PM sent!

Here it is (the regular core, not the composite one) with the latest framework changes and the rebased patch. Not sure what's new, but apparently the VGA_DISABLE thing was part of that update. Hi! Pgimeno! Your core works perfectly in the regular one version; in the composite version it starts correctly but it lacks, in the menu, the two options t...

Ok, so today I've created a 512MB hard disk with 1024 cylinders in 86Box, I've made Fdisk on it with Compaq Dos 3.31 - the only 3.3x Dos that supports partitions of 521MB. I've formatted, made "sys c:", then copied the content of the 3 floppy disks Compaq 3.31 Dos to C:\, then copied the new mymenu.exe for PCXT in mymenu folder together ...

Hi @pgimeno, I've found a ZX Spectrum Recreated Keyboard at last and it work beautifully with your patch. One question: can you also update the latest versione of the MikeS1 core (https://github.com/MikeS11/MiSTerFPGA_YC_Encoder)? Because to use the Zx Spectrum both in composite and with the rubber keyboard would be a dream! Glad you're enjoying i...

In general, is it possibile to run a 512MB HD image with Compaq Dos 3.31 in this core without issues? I've noticed some random issues like no correct label for disk C... Have you tried makng a snaller disk to see if it works? Maybe the problem is with that Compaq Dos. Sure it can be, but I think the best way to play the games from 1981 to 1987 is ...

So going through the INI file, it seems like we need to remove the TURBO options so only the "slow" one remains? # TURBO=Full - 486; $A100 # TURBO=Med - 286/386; $A1A0 TURBO=Slow - XT 8088; $A1A1 Remove them all... because changing speed on PCXT is not supported (yet) Other than that, I suppose we'd need to review which screensavers and ...

Thanks! I wil try!

Is it possible for the MiSTer?

I've tried with the SegaMegadrive 2 composite -> rf adapter using the last VGA -> composite adapter made by Antonio Villena for the latest MikeS1 cores but I get no signal on my CRT Trinitron Tv.

But that requires Long file name Fat32, isn't it? It needs a LFN driver otherwise it is limited to 11 chars for directory names. DOSLFN is not compatible with XT computers, however, LFNDOS can be used when LFN is disabled. I have corrected some keyboard issues when running on the PCXT core and translated the UI drawing privatives into assembly and...

New version of Ondra SPO 186 core with Ondra Melodik is available now. Ondra Melodik is new HW for old Ondra computer. It is a "sound card" with SN76489 chip. Here is link to HW author pages https://github.com/72ka/OndraMELODIK where you can find gerber files, visualization, demo application and many more. And here is link to his demo ap...

In PCXT, keyboard input was buffered in the shift register. However, in PCJr, the data signal is input directly to 8255. If we want to implement it in MisterPCXT... we will need to create a converter. It seems like it would take a lot of work, maybe in the future it could be assessed. We would only gain another small catalogue of PCjr exclusive Ta...

Can anyone else check but I have used the supplied zImage_dtb for use with the OUTRUN core but noticed that on 2 seperate Mister setups I have here the USB ports are no longer showing as having anything being plugged into them and my WiFi dongle no longer works. This have been confirmed on my Jamma Expander and Mistercade setups Changing back to m...

Fantastic! So do you plan to support the PCjr hardware also?

If anybody is interested in trying out the new Tap loading core, you will find it attached. It should work with most TAP files but there may be a few out there that may not work. If you come across any of those, please let me know and I'll look into it. Also, there are programs that are split amongst multiple TA* files. Those need to be combined a...

As promised I've created an adapter based on MikeS1 schematics. It has the same size of my other adapter, so I can reuse the cases. Sale link here:

Bought!

Your wish came true in record time

Yeah, thanks to Pierco, I've asked it!

Thanks!

Hi all! I've searched in the official Readme of Spectrum Core, I've read this thread https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=1458, but still I can't find a tutorial on how to use the DIVMMC feature. So far, I've copied the ESXDos files boot on a real SD card FAT16 formatted inserted in the second SD card slot either in .VHD image, renamed ESXMMC.BIN...
