MiSTer FPGA Forum

Ofcourse if cores are there on MiSTer, its hands down the best alternative since its 15 WATT power consumption. But for games / cores not on MiSTer, a mature emulator on Retroarch (non pi) can be good enough. Thank you for saying this. I thought I was the only person who cared about the power consumption. I once asked on Facebook if MiSTer was a g...

Tricked?

Plug your MiSTer into a consumer television and then tell us that it doesn't do native resolutions.

If you are using an flat-screen monitor then you haven't been tricked unless you have tricked yourself or not read the info correctly.

Amiga uses 35% of the Cyclone V, so it might be possible to do two player, but four player probably wouldn't fit unless some trickery was done?

The hard drive support on Apple2 has piqued my interest in this - did anything come of the ideas etc?

Another great demo here https://youtu.be/73X9O2dQ0rM?t=37 showing OXYGEN running with some lovely sound.

The NES doesn't have a boot rom?

Live steamed yesterday and has a lot of useful info about the project for new adopters, or people who are interested.

How do I set all the number controls etc to work, while still being able to use my joypad? Can I set numbers on keyboard and rest of controls on pad? I'm sure I've seen this before but my memory is not what it once was. Thank you.

"Light blue touch-paper and stand well back." LOL

A good video. Would we even have hardware sim/emulation if we hadn't had the software emulation forefathers blazing a trail into the unknown?

Wow the games on there look very high quality. I look forward to seeing the new version of the core come out

Emulation is great. I have Switch, Wii-U, Gamecube, Dreamcast, PS2, PS3 etc on my PC. Obviously the old systems gain a great deal from hardware simulation, but newer machines it's more or less redirected/translated api calls (if I understand how it's done correctly??) so lag isn't so much an issue any more - and newer machines have to deal with lag...

This is why I got a pre-built setup. I wouldn't trust myself with all those pins and connectors. Thank you for posting Hazel, and congratulations to all at Terasic for creating a wonderful piece of kit that has made a lot of people very happy here via of Sorg and his magics, and all the core creators.

Crom, Drom and Grom..? I'm totally lost. LOL

I wonder if any MiSTer owner has a cat they have called Sorg.

Well that's a shame and I hope it will be fixed. It would be nice to be able to develop for Next in the core. It would be nice to be able to create and save stuff in all (computer) cores to be honest.

Probably yes. I don't want to detail this thread though. LOL. Bring on the arcade cores.

That looks great on the Speccy but it's very strange seeing the game in colour. When I played it - in a chip shop I think - it was a pure B&W game.

Or did I just imagine that? I'm sure it was monochrome.

Oh my gosh. Rodland is a awesome game. I have fond memories of playing this on my Atari ST and will really enjoy being able to the arcade version on my MiSTer. I am looking forwards to this so thank you for giving it your time.

Is update all pulling this down ok? I ran the script but I can't find the core. It's fine if it needs a manual install, just curious.

I can confirm that a search brings it up so it's indexed now. Many thanks.

I was not aware of that. That's awesome.

The person who posted to ask that roms and overlays were bundled in has deleted their post.

MiSTer is not here to give us game roms, and doing so would open it up to takedowns and cease and desist orders I'm sure.

It's a faff perhaps, but we have to supply the copyrighted material ourselves.

Any chance of fast loading of tapes being added? I left my tape loading patience in the late 80s

If not then I understand but it would be awesome if it's possible.

A good lightweight image with some top games. I just tried the file out and had a go on Bomb Jack - what a fantastic version of the game.

I just downloaded and extracted fine. Ummm. I don't know if it's been fixed or if the problem is at your end.

Tempest 2000 please, and X-Quest if it's in the exodos. I tried to look at the catalogue pdf but the site was timing out - can't think why?

Has anyone else had this graphical glitch on the ZX Next core? It seems to appear when the MiSTer ini is set up for 5x crop scaling, but vertical crop isn't activated on the Next core. If you change the vertical crop to "216" then it is fixed, but still present on "270". Obviously the core still works but the corruption in the s...

You're optimistic.

Perhaps not. Puu is on the case.

I use my MiSTer on an Acer PC monitor and it works brilliantly - I think it's something like 2ms refresh.

On an LED or OLED TV things might be different - dependant on the processing of the image. If it has a "game mode" or just scan you will probably have a decent time.

Are there any bare metal images for pi emulation? When I used retropie it used to do my head in how long it took linux and the front end to load, even on a fast SD card. With MiSTer I can turn it on and it boots in literally a couple of seconds, and I can just switch it off when I'm done without any safe shutdown scripts or other malarky. The pi mi...
