Both are wrong, this is where the Presets live on GitHub:

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Presets_MiSTer/

Robby's presets are up to date in the official repo above now.

Yeah for some stupid reason, Filezilla still defaults to ASCII on installation, which is utterly stupid lol...

The MiSTer's Linux kernel is not identical to the current release kernel anyways (by design) so I would just go with the ones recommended here instead:

https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_M ... e-adapters

aberu

I looked it up by googling it and finding a closed issue for it on kernel.org. It's been awhile since I did this, sorry I don't remember exactly how.

aberu

What's the code for the arduino? My guess would be that you aren't using any debounce.

aberu

The sound chip support is the largest chunk of what makes ao486 so huge. If everything except for one soundblaster 16 implementation were removed it would probably save a good chunk of space.

aberu

He said he was working on fixing a few bugs that came up as a result of this. From what I remember, the changes in this fork caused some of the current core's supported games to not work anymore and he was working on that still.

aberu

Of course its SDRAM module (never mind it being 3.0) was the problem because since I bought another one all problems are solved. Buying a second module to solve the problem is not a solution knowing that the core work with a single module. Great if you or others find your happiness by buying its products, this is no longer my case. The point is, i...

Alternately you can always order directly from Terasic, they ship very promptly, but often times the shipping costs are much higher:

My vote is on a Saturn core :P Only because someone else is working on something has never stopped Robert. He has his own ideas he wants to achieve and that also includes going beyond what the hardware could do like what he did with the PSX core. Robert didn't begin working on a PSX core until laxer announced that he wasn't working on it any longe...

aberu

The whole secrecy thing is annoying. He said it’s in case the core isn’t doable but he announced PSX knowing it may not be doable. Makes no sense. One day, when you learn the personal pressures of having thousands of people waiting to overreact to something you work on, you will then know why he's being secretive about it. He's managing expectatio...

The only advantage would be shaving about 1 frame off in the whole signal chain that is already overwhelmed by latency. When you do cloud gaming there is a balancing act between the quality of the video stream and the latency. Better latency usually means worse video quality, and vice versa. You can get both, but the bandwidth goes up a ton. Then t...

darfpga developed the core, not me and he would likely be the one to do it. I don't think he has a patreon.

aberu

Did you already confirm everything is setup according to the instructions given to you by the seller here --> https://www.retrocomputershack.com/ebay-Listings/MisterFPGA-Scart/mister-fpga-scart001004.jpg If so then check this --> https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDocs_MiSTer/advanced/crt/#for-io-board And this --> https://mister-devel.github.io/MkDo...

aberu

That core isn't locked behind the patreon paywall, so this message being received means either you have an older beta version of the core on your system or something went wrong with an update.

aberu

No, I didn't just say if you aren't happy do it yourself. I also said it's really hard to do this stuff since the obvious implication of your post was that certain things (like NGPC) are taking too long and you don't appreciate the cores he's releasing anymore because they are games you don't like. You are entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled...

aberu

What is the thinking behind him putting all his cores in the one github repo? I thought the general thought for larger projects is you don't do that. Going to make checking and logging issues messy. Actually the way he organizes his repos is more initial setup but it's less management in the long run as long as you keep all the integrations workin...

aberu

If you think you can do better, go ahead and learn how to make cores yourself I guess. All you are doing by complaining is making other devs and prospective devs not want to be involved in this community.

There is a Discord Thread under the mister=cores / Neo Geo channel for those with Discord

i think i am not in that discord channel. Could you invite me to it?

The checker pattern coming up probably means that the file is either corrupted or invalid in some way. Can you try and rule out which file it is and then attach it here (filename intact and everything) please?

aberu

Can you provide an example homebrew game that lets you do this?

aberu

Possible? Lots of stuff is possible. The technical limitation is, as Bas rightly pointed out, the potential for causing issues with achieving timing closure. It would likely require a fork of the core with a bunch of stuff ripped out and a bunch of features of the MiSTer framework disabled or taken out. It's not as much the logic space, it's the co...

I mean it was already technically available... on the PSX core.

The hardware for this also can run:

So it's not just this one game potentially

aberu

...as it’s showing its age and cost are still rising significantly, it’s starting to feel like a dead-end. It's too presumptuous to call it a dead-end at this point. Terasic still makes the boards, if you order from them directly you get them in a couple weeks (when it's not christmas time), the price went up, but it's still cheaper than getting a...

For 24-bit tests over analog video testing you could load of Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the PSX core (please note, the analog io board is 18-bit video only, direct video is 24-bit however). Just keep the 24-bit dithering turned off in the OSD. For HDMI, same thing, it actually uses 24-bit. If you need a raw gradient testing, then you woul...

Yes, something like ABL should be disabled with a service remote control.

"should be disabled" is not something I would ever give as advice. It will violate your warranty and it will increase the likelihood of burn-in occurring.

How good it will look will be somewhat subjective, it will depend on your TV, it will depend on how long you mess with the other options associated with it to get the gain and offset for each color dialed in right, and even then it won't be a correct color matching. The fact is, using scanlines and shadowmasks already mangles the color somewhat, so...

The MiSTer core is a port of this core --> https://gitlab.com/SpectrumNext/ZX_Spectrum_Next_FPGA for reference. Can you link to the facebook post for this? I can't find it. Sorgelig has added some significant improvements to this core, for instance adding additional prefetch to the sdram to increase performance, improved the wait states, etc... Whe...

Your Main MiSTer binary needs to be updated too, so make sure you run the downloader script first. If you added it to the end of your MiSTer.ini, make sure it's not underneath another "[core]" bracket exception.
