Auto does work, as long as you have all 3 regions' bios files.

I guess the only positive out of this system is that not counting region variants, there's less than 400 games and probably less than 200 worth playing.

Personally i have no interest in the N64 and have 0 nostalgia for it, but i still support this core on patreon for the beauty of the project

Paper Mario is worth playing regardless.

The hobby market for FPGAs was always a promotional tool for Intel, it's never been a serious investment with any serious profit margins. It's to get people used to using Intel's products so when they get into the professional space it's what they are used to.

It could be similar to the Sega Genesis core when playing Sonic 2 in 2-player, where it's not "true" interlaced. that game specifically doesn't output interlaced to the TV, it outputs 240p while the game appears like it's interlaced.

511x240 is interlaced, otherwise it would be a 2:1_ish aspect ratio. Interlaced video on MiSTer often reports that way. Interlaced IS basically 240p but it's alternating which lines it draws the 240 lines on vertically.

Check resistors R3 for 200 ohms and R4 for 1000 ohms with a multimeter. I've seen misteraddons resolve it for someone by having them replace a resistor that went bad. Other times replacing the LED will be required if the red LED isn't working anymore.

Turn on the GPU slowdown option under the miscellaneous submenu in the OSD and reset the games that don't work. See if that works.

Also make sure you don't have any "unsafe" hack options (U) turned on in there currently.

That's a different one yeah. It's hard to tell if it will work or not based on that, but if you get the vid:pid from linux then maybe someone can add support.

Can you connect it to the network and then run the update script please?

thank you! it helped . but all the saves on the gba core disappeared, but it's good that save state remained.

Sounds like your microSD card might be full, or corrupted, or a fake one.

PVM's are not really worth the extreme cost if you just wanna play games. My advice is to just get a used Trinitron instead, the quality is comparable.

I'm so happy to see your hard work come to fruition wizzo! Thanks for working with the community to get feedback during the development process!

On the face of it, it would be much less powerful as a result of it not having integrated HPS. You would somehow have to add a dual core arm processor and at least 1GB DDR3 to it in order to be relatively similar.

You could just zip it up and attach it here like I did.

Thanks for the work on the core agg23, and thanks for the thorough documentation and for having a detailed commit history, it's useful for anyone wanting to troubleshoot their own tamagotchi emulator as well.

What happens when you use a USB gamepad instead? Same behavior? If so it's something that might need fixing in the core (software is causing some kind of inversion of the axis on one joystick when that setting is turned on), if not then it could be something in Main or in your hardware layout.

What kind of usb arcade encoder are you using, or is it straight JAMMA to something like a MiSTercade?

Python is supported already, you call the script from within a bash script.

Requests to add more python modules to the image will likely not be accepted though as the image is kept purposefully very small.

it's pretty much impossible to brick a MiSTer. Worst case scenereo, you have to copy your saves to a pc and reflash your sd card.

I don't think you bricked it, I would just start over and use balenaEtcher this time instead of straight dd.

Do you have an example game that uses this area in mind?
