Yeah, on the ARM side would be useful too, and it would be easy enough to include mpv in a recompile of the linux kernel. Not sure how well it would run anyway, but I'm hesitant to do anything custom because I want to keep it simple and just use the updater scripts and don't want any breaking with every update. I believe the Cyclone V is capable o...

Like cameras, what the pros always say is that "the best camera is the one you have with you", whether that be a simple point & shoot, or mobile phone, or DSLR... and I find just replacing the word "camera" with "computer" or "console" works equally as appropriately. I recently got a Dell 2007FPB. It's a ...

If you plan to use cut a USB cable, make sure it's a USB 3.0 cable cos you need all 9 wires/pins.

So can this be done easily leaving the IO board on? No, because the IO board will cover up those GPIO pins. The USER port is bringing those pins out to make accessible. So you can just splice a usb cable with jumper wires to go from the USER Port to the pi. It's equally as easy if you have a soldering iron. There are of course other methods availa...

Yeah, I've already gone down the MT32-pi rabbit hole. It's nice down there! The sound is awesome. I just connected the pi directly to the MiSTer and was sold as soon as I heard the first few notes of the Monkey Island intro. I took it apart though because I wanna use the IO board on my VGA. Thanks for your info, I was mostly just asking about the s...

I figured it out recently based on posts on this forum. I don't know where the guide is though. You'll just have to do some digging/reading. I got my Windows 95 installation booting with the hd mounted on 0-0. I never did get the cd-rom or file sharing to work properly though so I took a step back from it. I'll try again in a few months when there ...

Oh geez, I was somehow hoping for a more concise "definitive top-100" than even more games I have no hope of getting through.


I have a question... When you start a game and you have a bunch of options like EGA/VGA adlib/SB/MT32/CD like in monkey Island 1... How do you know which one to pick? It is just trial and error?

I wish there was a guide showing me how to use the build scripts. I'm lost

Another thing I would like to add is that I too believe that the "Minimum" core should be left as-is, with future development focused on the refinement of the original Amiga experience.

I am however, all for a brand new separate Amiga core that is more future-oriented and focused on pushing the DE10-Nano as far as it can conceivably go.

Interesting read QuartexNOR. I'd love a more "future-oriented/forward-looking" Amiga core. May I ask, what's stopping you from creating this core yourself or gathering a team for this? You at the very least seem well positioned to at least outline the requirements/vision of such a project and get the ball rolling. In many ways, Amiga seem...

ETA Prime on YT did a video on the Wavshare AMOLED and he had terrible luck with it; getting tonnes of screen tearing, albeit with a Raspberry Pi which suffers terribly with screen tearing regularly.

Ultimately, if I were to invest in a MiSTer handheld, I would want it to be in the dream resolution of 1600x1440 resolution like the analogue pocket. That is only a 3.5" display, but I personally think that's big enough for a handheld and more space could be dedicated to front-facing stereo speakers. This display is available on AliExpress her...

Not working properly for me in Windows 95. I can see the files Windows I created on my Mac but I can't read or write to the shared drive. With Windows 95 you have to run MiSTerFS before you start Windows 95. Did you do that? That is, adding it to a boot file. I think for Windows 95 the boot files or otherwise empty. Worked for me to do this. But y...

I set up my Mac Plus core over the last few days using the instructions on the core's repo page. There was a lot of trial and error, but here are some hints that will maybe help someone else: 1. The disk image that they link to in the repo is for 6.0.5. If you just follow the default install instructions, you will also need a Disk 2 and Disk 3 (&q...

@akicus, I've read the thread, and seen your Instagram. All super impressive stuff and I'm really looking forward to this case, and judging by the work and level of attention and care you've shown thus far, I think it would be a disservice to your project to just throw it on the market and for there to be any shortage of supply due to a limited pro...

Hi all, I downloaded all parts of the pack but when I attempt to unzip only the first part unzips and the others do not. I have them all in the same folder. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I downloaded parts 001-017. Please advise. I had to combine all the parts into one file using 'cat' before unzipping. There are many ways of joining them ac...

ok, I did it. Wow... Incredible work dude! I've successfully updated. Thanks Just in case anyone else runs into this issue, just make a file called "AO486_Update_Top300_Pack.ini" in the same folder as the .sh script with a single line in it: BASE_PATH=/media/fat of course, you wanna change the path to suit your setup. mine was /media/usb...

2048 x 1536 is also a nice resolution if you have a display the supports it.

For a 1440P display, you're best off setting the Mister to 1280 x 720, for perfect 2x scaling.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but seeing as MT32 support is vastly more prevalent on the PC core, I guess it's kind of appropriate. Disclaimer: I'm a total novice when it comes to MIDI and DOS games. After a week-long journey, I've finally managed to experience the joys of MT32 audio (spoiler: it's amazing) and I used only...

Looks like Warcraft II doesn't like my D: CD drive hack. Just change the drive letter in the configs to F:\ and it will work. Here is a video on the process and changes you need to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsm_Z25sb9o&feature=youtu.be Don't just change the war2.ini in the base directory or the run.bat will just overwrite it with t...

I feel like I'm going a little crazy. I've downloaded the eXoflynn pack from archive.org, and everything is works. Now I'm trying to update with the script [v.0.9] but I keep getting told that the script "couldn't find disk image". That's fine, I'm running the VHD from an external USB SSD formatted as an ext4 drive. Here's the problem: W...

Oh, I just remembered: on my PVM, the image is not-centred and to the right a bit, but the H and V CRT adjustment doesn't seem to function. Maybe it's just me, not sure. It works in the CPS1 cores.

It's finally out and open sourced.

God damn it's just like I remember from my childhood. It plays beautifully.


Apparently there are still some issues to be ironed out, but it definitely plays better than any emulator I've ever tried.

I tried the 12V/1.2A... all I can say is "WOW!". The term "night and day difference" is very appropriate here. The screen is now exceptionally vivid. (I didn't pay too much attention to the dim screen as my PVM arrived just a few days after I got the iPad Screen, but due to the dimness, i was gonna dump the iPad screen... Am I g...

I bought a 12V 3A adapter from Amazon with a 3.5mm connector and an adapter to convert that to the 1.35mm connector on the HDMI converter board. I updated my mister.ini with settings for the iPad 3 display (1536p) and attempted to boot. No video on the iPad display and the two LEDs near the power connector on the converter board are flashing.

good to know, thanks. So many hidden commands and features to learn!
