MiSTer FPGA Forum

MiSTer is great, thank you Sorgelig!

V'Ball:
- VGA output
- Sprite visibility fix
- Fix sound reset

V'Ball:
- game speed
- screen flip
- other small fixes

V'Ball Technos Japan:
- new core

RX-78:
- added missing keyboard keys

Yes I know, the core still needs work for 32k cartridges and that's why I have not uploaded Sekigahara ROM on archive.org.

I think a fantasy console could be a cool project for MiSTer but I don't think it's possible to replicate a Pico-8 or a Tic-80 on the FPGA side. They are just game engines with built-in tools, there's no CPU behind them and additionally, the LUA interpreter makes it very difficult to port on FPGA. If you really want a FPGA core then I think we need...

RX-78:
- New core by Pierco & Alanswx

I would have to create a ROM decoder for each type A game and enable or disable decoders in MRA but yes it's possible. About B, C and Z, they have different architectures unfortunately...

I started the MiSTer core. I'm only focusing on RodLand for now. I have a couple of projects to finish so don't expect it to arrive soon.

I would remove the rbf & mra files from the sdcard and run update all again. I had a similar issue but the update all fixed it.

Q*Bert
- fixed 8:7 aspect ratio.
- added diagonal joystick option.
- added vertical flip option.

We tried 8:7 with Alan yesterday and I added the diagonal joystick option. We will push another release soon.

Q*Bert:
- New arcade core.

As soon as Q*Bert core is finished I will make the GnW my priority. I think the core needs to be renamed to GnW_SM510 at some point. Additionally, I would like to experiment with the framebuffer as video output. It makes sense for LCD screens but I need to see if it's possible to start the core on framebuffer and how it is possible to share segment...

Sprite decoding is giving me a hard time

Thank you for testing! I will test on my side tomorrow and will update the script on the repository: https://pastebin.com/vmm6mRmi

:( Fails to load, I/O Error Annexion Ecologie Alice Galaxion Pillage Cosmique Plan de Vol Tank It seems to be a problem with the conversion tool. The first block of 8 bytes of the k7 files is inconsistent. I need to modify the script so it checks first if the first bytes should be ignored or not. Maybe something like: k72c10.py: ... with open(file...

Tandy MC-10 / Alice 4k:
- New core.

I started to look at the PCjr schematics and I think most of the HDL modules exist. The problem is the graphic adapter (mc6845), I don't think it has been reversed or implemented and I can't find good documentation about it.

It's done, I added the two cores to the main repo.

Epoch Galaxy II & TomyTronic Scramble:
- New cores added.

Yes, I'm sorry, I wanted to make a first release of the Supervision core before going back to G&W. I also worked on the HMCS44 MCU so I should be able to port some new VFD games to MiSTer soon.

Thank you, I'm glad to see you tested it! About low res images, this is because of the LCD, which does not allow for a tile based approach for VRAM. Unfortunately, the limitation of block ram on MiSTer forced me to use low res images. Maybe a FPGA guru can jump in the discussion and help? Can I use the SDRAM to create a VRAM pixel based? Will it be...

Only SM510 games are compatible so it should theoretically work with: Turtle Bridge Fire Attack Snoopy Tennis Oil Panic Donkey Kong Mickey & Donald Green House Donkey Kong II Mario Bros Rain Shower Life Boat ... and other SM510 non-G&W games I will try to implement the SM511 later. BTW, audio is working now :) My current problem is the joys...

Yes this is correct, I made a script that merges the ROM, background image and the mask for LCD segments. I was fixing some bugs with the MCU last week and I will now start working on sounds. It should be a straightforward task as the piezo buzzer signals are also generated by the MCU.
