If a "children friendly" experience is desired, there are, perhaps, some arcade titles (at least on the alternatives / homebrew side) that are getting included in a default configuration (at least the .mra files, even if not using update_all) that should perhaps be excluded, or at least hidden?

Neil is a co-host on the This Week in Retro podcast, if that's something you can do. The multisystem has a segment in episode 47.

The autosave topic has been rehashed a few times. It seems like at this point it would need to be a new dev with interest, to implement something themselves, which may or may not makes its way into the core mister framework.

My guess if we ever did get optical media support, is it might be handled through some sort of abstraction layer. Perhaps not too dissimilarly from how mt32 is handled, whether through the Linux subsystem (sort of like midilink), or an external device (e.g., raspberry pi). Cores then could, perhaps, only need to talk to that one interface, and the ...

I switched from FileZilla to WinSCP partly because of this. It seems to have transfer settings that work better, "out of the box."

The official Sega and Sony mods for certain TVs can make for some amusing reading.

Considering getting a retrotink at this point. The scanline effects are starting to look really good.

Do you know if there is an easy way to check if it can be powered by USB? (e.g., serial # / board layout / component)

I was under the impression the x68k was being worked on.

Not a core, per se, furrtek has been reverse engineering various Konami chips. Some of those may be used by some of these games.

Looks like Retro Frog is getting into daemonbite compatible adapters.

So is there any way to separate Jotego's Closed Beta out and just get the Public Beta? Currently I have to start a game to find out if it's something I can play or just a preview video. That's lame. Nothing builtin to the update scripts last I checked. It is not just new cores that would be missed by not enabling the beta option in the script, the...

I had been periodically visiting the daemonbite shop, but I do not think it will be restocked any time soon. I would love to be wrong, though.

I would love such a thing. I keep revisiting this libretro thread and wondering what could be some day...

In two hours I have seen the same game I think 10 times, that randomizer needs to be changed :) Also for Snes core loads up opens to load rom and remain stuck until following cycle One "weird trick" I have been able to use to get "better" (more deviating) initial RNG results, in Lua script at least, was to iterate the RNG, say,...

Hope it is not a stupid question, but looks like TV overscan?

There is mention of overscan on the ru7100 rtings review.

Nice. Looks like you have more details here?

That video is probably the easiest way to show enabling it.

Maybe not something for core, but, just spitballing, perhaps "flag a file" (flag to keep/protect/favorite, or flag to remove/hide/ignore) could be a feature of super attract mode.

Is CPS2 included in Update_All.sh as it only downloads CPS1 to 1.5 for me. It doesn't seem to check for CPS2 files? Enable beta to get CPS2. If you have beta disabled, it checks: https://github.com/JTFPGA/JTSTABLE/wiki If you have beta enabled, it checks: https://github.com/jotego/jtbin/wiki See: https://github.com/jotego/Updater_script_MiSTer/blo...

On some flat panels perhaps either there is a very minimal physical mask covering up the very edge of the screen, or the very edge pixels do not have physical screen elements they would map to ("sorry, you have a 1916x1076 screen, not a 1920x1080 screen")? https://www.avsforum.com/threads/official-panasonic-2011-tc-pxxvt30-series-thread-d...

The scaler source is here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Template_MiSTer/blob/master/sys/ascal.vhd Not exactly a simple thing.

Very wishful. I am hoping to make it to Galloping Ghost and try theirs, if they still have it.

What's an iso?

Isopropyl alcohol.

Hmm, intersting if it could be the display itself with the tearing issue.

I would like to see this one, too. I remember it being quite the quarter muncher with its life mechanic.

The latest I have read on this forum is some DOS extenders, at least dos/4gw, iirc, have issues running on ao486. My guess is a similar compatibility issue.

I think the template project may be the place to report this.
