MiSTer FPGA Forum

Yep, we're pretty spoiled already :) But that would definitely be cool for the demoscene and to get proper (not downsampled) mixing in some games -- Paula still sounds better than the SB in quite a few scenarios. Anyway, each time something is achieved I feel extremely lucky considering how niche all this is. Grateful and a bit ashamed as I have th...

There's also an option which remaps RESET as CTRL + GUI + GUI (that is to say, CTRL-WinLeft-WinRight equals CTRL-AmigaLeft-AmigaRight).
Didn't have to set key-menu-as-regui. This latter is useful if you only have a single Windows key + a "menu" key.

Sorgelig fixed in the upcoming main binary.
Now both versions (unpacked & regular) work

Hi everyone ! I noticed that the Creeping Me Out demo crashed when using the recent Minimig core update. That's a new brillant Scorpion game. You can find the demo here : http://mixelslab.com/cmo-hex-night-amiga/ I filed a bugreport. Can you guys double check ? For some reason, it works on the n-2 Minimig core but only the "unpacked" vers...

I'm kinda hijacking the thread but I'm looking for a simple way to send chords progressions to external MIDI hardware (like a Volca FM which is a good piece of hardware but has a super limited sequencer).
Which piece of ST software would you advise ? (never used an ST MIDI app )
Cheers !

Hi ! My primary HDF (WB) was still booting but my secondary (Games) wasn't. Started HDToolbox (& modified the device tooltype to scsi.device), saved the modifications, rebooted, and it worked.

Edit : oops, Filezilla corrupted the MiSTer file upon transfer

Could it work by any chance with the multiplexed SNAC implementation of Antonio Villena ? You could ask him in the sellers area ?

Hmm, too bad I only had one mouse back in the days

Hi everyone ! If I'm not mistaken, the current default integer scaling factor for the Amiga on the MiSTer in 1080p is actually 3X (286 lines with overscan according to the OSD) and not 4X. I was really shocked when starting DOS games in 320*200 because they were scaled 5X and it looked ultra chunky. (so I added some fixed borders but it only plays ...

There are tons of sound options already : left & right SIDs, OPL 2 sound expander, filters, digimax

I love the work done on this core too ! Thank you, Sorge !

I temporarily worked around this by specifying a vscale_border of 140 to get a 4x scaling with perfect scanlines on the DOS core. Obviously, it only works if games use a 320x200 resolution. Of the game is in 320x240 (ex. Blackthorne) scanlines look bad

Hehe, yeah, I'm an ST/Amiga guy and was shocked back then when seeing the same games on my friends' PCs. They looked way blockier

Hi ! That's an impressive piece of work and definitely ultra useful for people who weren't really into DOS back in the days (skipped from the Amiga to Windows 95 directly).

Could someone get Fast Doom (1&2) to work with sound ? I tried all memory profiles, no luck - whether sc or sb, which work with the regular doom version.

Just to be more accurate : in the past, when enabling both vscale_border and integer scaling, what would happen was : - for instance, if you used a 1080p mode with a border of 50 and a 240p core - it would find the biggest possible multiply of 240 in (1080 minus 50) - in this case : it would make no difference as it would still be a factor of 4. Bu...

Hi ! Thanks for the reply ! Hmm, the behaviour must have changed then, because it used to work along with integer scaling. Thanks for the suggestion but if I use lowres = 4x I cannot apply the scanlines properly to the base picture but only to the upscaled one ! Tricky one Indeed ! :) Would be awesome if there was some "max scaling Factory opt...

Hi Sorge ! Actually, unless I'm mistaken, it's not applied in any core ATM ? I'm trying to make the DOS (or SNES, Neo Geo, Genesis) core use a smaller form factor -- 5x is too much for me, I want to stick to 4x as the Amiga core, easier on my eyes, less blocky... The picture is closer to what I used to have on my small TV back in my childhood when ...

Hi, yet another MiSTer MINI purchase here. It's brilliant. Perfect form factor (2 layers instead of 3 on the original MiSTer with IO + USB addons). Superb options : HIFI audio Dac, RTC, Floppy buzzer for the Amiga (love it, I asked for it to be added), completely silent Noctua fan (I asked Antonio to set it at 3.3V), great db9 port supporting sever...

Bump ! :-) No one has this issue at all ? What happens is some games get stuck in (I think) 3x scaling mode instead of 4x after temporarily switching to interlaced resolution back to normal non-interlaced low-res. I use a regular integer scaling mode. As I said, titles triggering it are : Uridium 2, Shadow of the Beast 3, Lionheart, Bill's Tomato G...

Hmm... Any discussion with Sorge to bring this upstream eventually ? -- would apply too to the buzzer used to mimic the Amiga floppy drive sound, which Antonio implemented too. I love it, it adds so much to the experience -- at least if you grew up with those ! I'm even frustrated when games load too quickly

Hi !

Apart from some more speed I'd vote for a Gravis Ultrasound implementation. It would be fantastic for the demoscene.

An FPGA implementation of the MT-32 but as the mt32-pi is officially supported, it must mean it's kinda out of scope

Of course, I'm just dreaming aloud I'm already very happy with the current state of the core.

That's obviously very personal, depending on one's childhood etc. but I would love if any of those was implemented : - FPGA implementation of the Gravis Ultrasound (for the PC demoscene) and of the Roland MT-32 for the ao486 core :) - Thomson MO5 / TO7 ("plan informatique pour tous", those machines were in all schools in France in the mid...

Any 9-Pin -> USB adapter recommendation ? Especially one working properly with the 1000 Hz polling mode ?

Is the Dual Action the same as the F310 ? I used to have one and it didn't seem to work well with the 1000 Hz polling ?

But indeed, the F310 is a favorite : cheap & sturdy, great D-pad.

Yep, sorry I saw that in the meantime & edited my post
I'm wondering if the Noctua at 3v is silent. At full speed it (this very fan) was very noisy on my previous MiSTer build.

@Stupid Dufus : thanks for the reply

(1) Do you use the "official" DE10 power supply ? (the US one provided in the kit)
(2) Hmm... Interesting... I'm afraid of frying something, does anyone sell one by any chance ?

Hey, I've actually just emailed you many questions ! I think it would be more relevant to post them here instead, some other people may be interested ! So I'm pasting my email below ;) Regarding the mt32-pi addon : (1) is it the version making use of the IO Board "user port" which can power the Raspberry and also transmit the digital audi...

Hi ! When do you plan to restock the mt32-pi addon ?
Cheers

Hi ! I don't want to add more noise to this topic, I just wanted to state that Antonio always replies to my numerous and annoying questions when I email him. [/offtopic]

Good luck ! Much appreciated effort !!

Hi ! Thanks for your reply ! Did you try Uridium 2, SOTB 3, Lionheart, Bill's Tomato Game, or multiball modes in flippers ?
All four incorrectly switch back to a non-interlaced mode.
Hmm, actually, I really don't want to get a 5x scaling factor -- I prefer a smaller a finer picture
cheers
