I'm using PC-10 at the moment just because the only thing I remember about the colours on the NES from when I was little was Mario being yellow as opposed to white when he got the fire flower. PC-10 seems to be the only palette that achieves this but I'm sure that wasn't the case on other emulators. I may compare to my PAL NES and create a new pale...

I meant adding joysticks to it but that's up to you I guess.

The above is the way to resolve this but any game which supports this would be changable in the DIP settings (arcade only).

Also please don't do that if it's an original Point Blank, they are getting hard to find! You'd be far better off I think selling it to someone as a project (if it's missing guns, game etc) and buying a generic JAMMA cabinet.

Told you :lol: Here's the datasheet for the level shifter ICs: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74lvc2t45.pdf?HQS=TI-null-null-mousermode-df-pf-null-wwe&ts=1598617912532&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.mouser.co.uk%252F It looks like the DIR pin is tied to GND so the input will be the B pins and the output the A pins. So yes, pin 1 is in...

But is CHD supported? Squashfs is already usable with the custom build linked above.

I didn't know this when I posted that, looks good.

Very interesting, especially as it is optional and only runs on the linux side.

How easy is it to compress/decompress these files and how does the menu handle them? Like folders? I imagine it would have to if you have the entire Neo Geo set in one file.

I'd actually recommend CHD. It's extremely flexible and the compression ratio is fantastic.

Fans? I believe they just need 12v

Haha! We’re talking hardware preservation here, not using old hardware

Well my adapter uses a real floppy drive so still not hardware preservation, more hardware authentication

I definitely recommend using their SMT assembly service. Those components are tiny and it won't add much to the cost. This is what the guys are suggesting. Bummer if you already placed the order.

One you recieve them, all you think have to solder on are the DB9/PCE connectors. Much easier!

I would assume this is a bug. Probably best to report it on github.

You do mean auto save don't you? MiSTer does not make use of save states.

If you really can't build one here's a preassembled unit, still cheaper than an OSSC (which can't downscale until the Pro comes out):

GBS Control looks interesting, it seems like a DIY device though, not sold anywhere. It's based on a widely available and cheap scaler and just requires a fairly simple modification to turn it into a really good scaler which is still being improved. You won't get better value than that, ESPECIALLY if you want to downscale as this is a feature rese...

That's awesome, I hope those signals are available on the ao486 core, and that you can get something similar working there. Drive sounds were a big part of the nostalgia! Most of my gaming growing up was on DOS PCs, so anything that can makes ao486 better is exciting to see. Yep, though the most nostalgic sound of all won't be present.. that all t...

I found this in /rtl/soc/floppy/floppy.v
This looks like it could be it, motor_enable is self explainatory, selected drive I assume will be your sel signal, enable = step? dma_irq_enable can't be direction..

There's not much room on there for something like this.

I have a breakout video board coming up that I'm considering adding S video to, but you may be out of luck if you wanted it in the same form factor as the current IO board.

It's in the amiga and atari st cores and quite a few emulators too.

This is what I'm working on:

https://twitter.com/whybrow_joel/status ... 15106?s=19

The hardware is done and I've got the Amiga core working great, the ST core is WIP, just going through and adding support for the rest.

Can anyone point me to where these are located in this core or if they even exist since this is ported from software?

I need the motor_on, step, direction and select signals.

That depends, really. If you have no case, I 100% agree - but if it's enclosed, blowing air onto the heatsink...without proper side ventilation...will simply cause the now-hot air to collect and swirl around inside the case, raising ambient temperatures. With closed cases, it's usually best to exhaust for that reason, but you'll still need side or...

Yes so with my adapter you can use RF directly with the MD2 RF cable.

Of course I'm not ready to release it yet, but will probably only be a few weeks.

Any Megadrive/Genesis 2 cable can be used with it. So the original RF cable, composite cable or RGB cable. Whichever your CRT TV supports (or you like to use, personally I like RF )

You will get better cooling blowing cold air onto the heatsink but drawing hot air away from the heatsink is probably fine too. I don't really know if it gets hot enough in general to worry too much about it.

I mean the SOG switch on the IO board, if you are using an official IO board that is.

It's a WIP core so this is normal at the moment.

As an aside, I know you don't want to spend more money on this but I will shortly be releasing something you may be interested in

It could be a multitude of issues I'm afraid. I will say this though:

Power over VGA needs to be on
SOG needs to be off
Composite sync needs to be on
All scalers need to be off

Awesome! Will the files be publicly available once done?

Is anyone really going to go through such a large effort to play Plumbers don't wear ties on the MiSTer? 3DO has some great games. That isn't one of them though I don't know, 3DO had mostly lackluster 3D games and a shit tone of FMV games. Most of it's good games can be found elsewhere such as the Playstation for example. That being said my friend...
