MiSTer FPGA Forum

At this point I think the PS3,PS4,PS5 controllers are a better fit than PS1 and PS2 as PS 3 to 5 don't need adapters, you can chose wired or Bluetooth.
And for 3D games on the Saturn a PlayStation pad would work better.

Make sure your system set for US/NTSC and not PAL.
Games often run slow in Pal, as they aren't correctly adjusted to the 50hz timing TVs used at the time.

Any reason you would need this?

The Bios don't region lock games

I was going to ignore this thread, but I got notification of a reply. There are plenty of Neo CD fans. Nobody honestly knows if there's real interest in putting in work for the core or if there isn't. No one know's if there real interest is where I am getting at, sure there edge cases who actually value the Neo CD (for some ungodly reason). I sayin...

Not saying it's impossible, but you have to make the changes in each FPGA Core to support this.
The DE 10 Nano mostly runs on the FPGA Chip, the Arm processor side is mostly for file management/house keeping duties.

My Question is if this feature used on Low Level Software Emulation yet or not.

Sometimes the slowdown is often bad coding in the game and not the hardware or emulation of the hardware. Metal Slug on the Neo Geo as been found running on full speed with a rom hack For the SNES (on original hardware it would be a hardware mod) look for the SA-1 Hacks various games. Hacking the game to support the SA-1 chip speeds up those games ...

Make sure you have the switch set to Game Pad and not Steering Wheel.
Also you would want to update the MiSTer Mains, ether run the Update Script or the Update all Script as the Mister recently updated how it handles Xbox, PlayStation and Switch controllers.

Custom per core INI settings for screen ratio
I coudn't tell you what it be for each more, but you have to go with the core name and not the name of the MRA file.

The 3 button Genesis game pad works on duplexing a existing DB9 signal that the Sega Master System used as the Genesis was backwards compatible with Master System games (using a power base converter for the carts). The Master System pad has no encoders and the buttons wire directly to the system. The 3 button Genesis pad duplex the signal, so the c...

The real problem is almost anyone can make a I/O board, and there been many variants and adjustments made. For a while there was a inconsistency on what LEDS and Push buttons sizes are used on some MiSTer boards, and some of the Chinese made IO boards don't include all the pins for the SNAC. It can be too easily someone use the wrong Resistors on t...

Enable the memory card in the OSD

Metal jesus shouldn't do any hardware base reviews. His game cube video adapter video and later fiasco proves as much. He should really stick to coving software/games. [Edited to add additional comments, after rewatching the video] From what I see watching Metal Jesus' videos (not just the one in question), he doesn't really know hardware that well...

Yes. The theoretical max devices for USB is like 127 devices (including hubs).

I got a Internal PC Hub attached to my MiSTer USB board.

How long is your USB 3 cable?
Also did you get your IO board from Aliexpress or eBay?

You should be fine, sharing alternate RBF files are okay.

Question is partially how is those sounds played on the original board? Most of these early arcade boards utilize analog sound instead of digital samples. In DK's case its the various sound effects "jump", "walk" and "stomp" sounds are generated via analog circuitry, the music is digital. That is why every early consol...

The only thing you actually need other than the basic DE 10 NANO dev board is some sort of GTO USB adapter or GTO Hub. And a USB Keyboard (mostly for initial setup) and a USB Game Pad (Bluetooth works too if you use a Bluetooth dongle). The board comes with small Micro SD card, Switching power supply (people outside of the US will need a wall adapt...

Here, read this https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=379 CHD files work, you just need each game in the same sub-folder. m3u files are not supported The format should be as such Example: \games\MegaCD\Game A\Game A.cue \games\MegaCD\Game A\Game A(track 1).bin \games\MegaCD\Game A\Game A(track 2).bin \games\MegaCD\Game B\Game B.cue \games\MegaCD\G...

I believe the Saturn and the ST-V have similar architecture, developed by the same Defense contractor firm Lockheed Martin for Sega. But the Saturn and the ST-V have vastly different specs. Virtual On for the ST-V could not run on the Saturn, they had to dumb down some off the effects to get the game to run on the Saturn. The "PS1" boards...

If you ask me, the MSX

Amazon is a listing service and not a proper store front.
There thousands of sellers on Amazon, and you probably bought from one who sells/resells boards from Alibaba/Aliexprpess

The extra USB port takes the place of the barrel jack in this picture.

Can I delete the update all script and original update script ? I’ve got the new downloaded script , thank you I wouldn't delete ether one. The new downloader script is a replacement/supplement for the original updater where you just need to update cores or files and not the mainframe work or linux side of the MiSTer. You still need the Update_All...

Not bad at all especially as this is a work-in progress prototype.

I hate the problem the Retro scene has now, where a common game with millions of copies made sells for $200, no box, no manual and the cart label is torn or damaged.

RetroArch has a feature called "Run Ahead" that has the core calculate multiple frames based on various inputs then roll back to serve up the correct frame based on what your inputs actually were. This seems less than ideal, but I bet it feels better than the alternative. According to RetroPie's docs you're looking at about 5.5 frames of...

2560x1440 is a odd ball resolution that don't have clearly defined standards so many PC Monitors and HD TVs that are at 1440p or 4K don't like 1440p input. Example my Samsung 8 Series 4K TV doesn't like 1440p despite being 4k

Whats the MiSTer output resolution set to?

I do know many of these consoles original hardware aren't a perfect 60hz or even 59.94hz (refresh of analog NTSC broadcasts.
Like the Neo Geo is at 59.18hz, the NES is at 59.826Hz,the SNES is at 60.08hz.
At least Dodonpatchi has a 60hz mode.

The Linux on the MiSTer SD card is really stripped down. You have to do it from the command shell.
And I never tried to see if that worked.
