Total newbie to this core. How do I set it up?

Swainy

Top stuff, thank you!

Swainy

Hey guys, I’m having trouble getting the most recent release of Zero Wing working, all the other games at https://github.com/va7deo/zerowing run fine but when I try to boot up Zero Wing I get the following error message.

I’ve tried a couple of different roms.

Edit, now sorted!

Swainy

Much better! It does go out of range when you go higher than 21 on H-Position but it’s pretty much perfect at that point on my CRT anyway.

Will do!

So possibly the Mister-X core is wrong? https://www.retrorgb.com/misterfpga-sega-system-1-2-core-expansion-by-developer-blackwine.html It certainly seems that way according to that article. A few of Jotego’s core’s also have borders either side of the screen on CRT’s (Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2, Robocop, Bad Dudes). Makes me wonder if the timi...

Swainy

So Chameleon has dropped but on a CRT the image is pushed well over to the right of the screen and when I adjust the H-Pos it knocks the picture out of range. Tested this on a few different TV’s.

Good question.

Swainy

I use a CRT TV via VGA/Scart and on quite a few arcade cores I get borders either side of the screen. This can be seen in here in Wonderboy that uses the Sega System 1 core by MiSTer-X. tuTSiW2.jpg Now obviously on an arcade monitor you can easily adjust the size of the image. Anyway yesterday I tried the Sega System 1 core by blackwine and noticed...

Swainy

Cool. Just have the game a quick test, seems to be running well. Only thing is when I run it on a CRT via VGA to Scart the picture is shifted to the right of the screen and adjusting the H-sync doesn’t move it over to the middle enough.

Cool. How do I do that?

Swainy

Hi all, I got this PSX Snac adapter this week from https://MiSTerFPGA.co.UK and it works great. However I’m not sure how I’m supposed to save games when using the Snac adapter?

I’ve put a blank.mcd file in my PSX games folder but when I try to mount the file it doesn’t appear.

Swainy

Thanks guys, all working now for me too!

Swainy

I can’t seem to get this core working.
Grabbed the bios file from this site: http://www.madrigaldesign.it/creativemu/roms.php

Plus some games, renamed the bios to boot0.rom but I’m just getting a multi coloured screen via hdmi & a blank screen on my CRT.

I know that this has been talked about before but I just wanted to appeal to all of the guys who develop the arcade cores for the MiSTer, guys you are doing a sterling job but please please please include a flip option on the vertical games for CRT users if possible. Lots of games have this option in their DIP switch settings but unfortunately not ...

Swainy

Looks great although it wouldn’t display on my CRT.

Use one of these instead https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254514471844?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=47HsXjQYSm6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=s3JYtdlvTwm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY What's the difference between this cable (I noticed the description specifically says that's it's not for use with MiSTer) and...

Hi guys. I’ve got a problem, each time I run the core it automatically starts to load up Project X by Team 17 Software. What can I do to stop this? Project-X is setup to auto reboot the core and select the correct memory profile (EMM). If you are bouncing the core while in the game and not exiting the game back to dos like you should it won't ever...

Hi guys. I’ve got a problem, each time I run the core it automatically starts to load up Project X by Team 17 Software. What can I do to stop this?

Swainy

Well a different FPGA is being used for the newer models of the real Next so that might be the cause.

Swainy

It is beta but it works on a real Next. I always update both the Next & MiSTer at the same time usually.

Swainy

The latest firmware can be found on their GitHub page: https://gitlab.com/thesmog358/tbblue

The error says that machine is not supported.

Swainy

Just a word of warning, the Next core doesn't like Next firmware version v1.42. You get an error message if you try and use it.

Swainy

Yeah worked great for me when I tested it earlier tonight.

Swainy

Anyone else getting an ED error message as soon as you start the core?

Edit! Ignore me. My external drive was just being a bit slow.

Swainy

Well I guess that the same could be said of the ZX Spectrum Next, which I own but hardly use since the core was released on the MiSTer.

Swainy

I see that some people have started receiving their Mega65’s. I assume that the software is final now?

Maybe it’s something that I’m doing wrong but other games seem to be saving fine. What region of Driver did you test? The one I’ve tried is the USA release

Swainy

Yeah I’ve not been able save Driver. When you come back to it, the save is blank.
