Thanks for the very kind words, and also your generosity!

Enjoy the the awesomeness that is the mt32-pi on MiSTer

The SN74LVC1G04DBVR inverter is fine for use as U3 when building the v2.9 SDRAM

I wanted myself to order one of those transparent MiSTer Acrylic Casees but unfortunatly it's only compatible with a AC PowerIn. My USB hub is a v1.2 with 8 usb ports which one of it is used for USB Power IN. :( any custom cases planed? Please feel free to send me a message via my websites contact form with your full MiSTer stack specification, I ...

Shipping method changed as requested and your order was sent out earlier today, thanks for your custom

Sorry I do not.

Did you receive the free set of mt32-pi PCB's I sent to you?

Yes I do, the MiSTer case for Digital IO board and BlisSTer hub is available at my web store, just select the required IO board type from the drop down menu selector on the product page along with the color of case you need.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my customers for your continued support throughout 2021. Let me extend my warmest wishes for the festive season and wish everyone a very merry Christmas! If you are ordering MiSTer bits for Christmas delivery please see my last posting dates on the website, also the dates which I will be closed and...

Just a quick update as I've had a few emails over the last week, another batch of mt32-pi HATs are ready and available on the website, all OLED color variants are in stock.

I’m obviously doing something wrong. Any chance you can help me? Your probably not doing anything wrong, the provided standoffs are an alternate standoff size for Raspberry Pi cases which use M2.5 sized threads. The way I supply the mt32-pi HAT is with the intention of it sitting directly on top a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ using the recommended case, whic...

It maybe is a faulty DE10-Nano. You can also test the FPGA and HPS side of your DE10 Nano, see Terasics PDF Notes For DE10-Nano Users I recommend you run a core which does not actually require a memory module installed, TurboGrafx-16 or Genesis are fine to see if you have an issue with the FPGA. You should also run the MiSTer memtest core for longe...

The only obvious issue I can see is it looks like you have a solder bridge on the RN15 resistor network. See my picture below:

All OLED colour versions of the MT32-Pi HATs are available again, I know a few of you were waiting on the blue and white versions.

I'm having a similar issue with my Megadrive controller too. Did you purchase your IO board from misterfpga.co.uk, and it had a missing pin? If you are having issues with the Mega Drive controller check you have followed my setup guide here: https://misterfpga.co.uk/sega-genesis-controller-snac-setup/ You do need to have the v6.1 IO board to suppo...

Yes.

I've just finished making another batch of IO boards (v6.1) see here:

Buy MiSTer Analog IO Board

I have completed another small batch of the mt32-pi HATs, just an update for those who messaged me and were waiting for one.

mt32-Pi for MiSTer

Have a check for bridges / shorts on resistor networks RN12, RN13, RN14, and RN15

Looking at the pictures it seems you have a bridge on RN12 see where I've marked it on the below image.

When I first used 7TCN chips with the v2.5 memory modules, I did test internal air temperatures in the small range of cases available at time, it was during the time I began prototyping the acrylic case I sell. I even went to the point of stress testing inside an acrylic box, with no heatsink or fan on the DE10 Nano, all then wrapped tight in a pol...

Just a couple of updates, as I am now getting a fair few messages about the stock status of mt32-pi HATs and if I am yet selling the latest v2.9 128MB SDRAM memory modules. If you have been waiting to buy a MiSTer mt32-pi HAT my next batch is just about finished being built, these should be ready by Monday 14th June. This new batch will include all...

You should not need to adjust any settings, my guess is you have not flipped SW3 on your DE10-Nano board, if the red LED behind the headphone jack is not illuminating you need to flip SW3, see here for a guide:

MiSTer FPGA Digital IO Installation Guide

I am sorry to hear your IO board was damaged during shipping, if you just send me message including your order number via the contact page I can arrange a replacement for you. A few quick tips for building the acrylic case, fit case bottom first, attach but do not tighten the fours screws, fit all the sides, now flip over the case top plate so you ...

This week, once shipped you will get an email confirming I have sent your order.

Regarding the mt32-pi addon : (1) is it the version making use of the IO Board "user port" which can power the Raspberry and also transmit the digital audio signal to the MiSTer in order to mix the Pi and MiSTer sound ? (2) is it possible to use it without an IO Board ? Yes it is. For ease of setup you do really require a USER IO port th...

Hi ! When do you plan to restock the mt32-pi addon ? I am currently building the next batch ready to sell, just add your email address to the wait list on the MiSTer mt32-pi HAT page, this is done by selecting the OLED screen color type and clicking on the wait list button. Then when I have finished building the next batch and I add the stock to t...

The IO board should most certainly should not be built like this, it is easily fixed though. The black plastic strip is just friction fit on the pins, best bet is to gently slide them down, while working your way along each pin, applying pressure to push the plastic part down till it falls off the end of the pins, a thin blade would be good for this.

Just a quick head's up another batch of mt32-pi HATs are completed and available on the website, its the blue OLED version this time.

Placed an order last night for one of the acrylic cases and need to change from the digital IO to the analog IO version. I have adjusted and updated your order to reflect the requested change :D The contact form on the website is always the quickest way to reach me, it is a bank holiday weekend in the UK so I have been having a break from working.

It there a specific way you're supposed to use the alternate mounting kit? Not really, it is just an alternate standoff size for Raspberry Pi cases which use M2.5 sized threads. Due to the large number of possible configurations, such as different case types and Raspberry Pi models, it is really not possible for me to offer an off the shelf mounti...

It sounds like your switch is faulty, just email me with your original order number and I will get you a replacement sent out. Even with the Meanwell 4A power supply, if you are powering the mt32-pi over the USB3 cable it will display a low voltage warning. See here for more information: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi/wiki/MiSTer-FPGA-user-por...

I have seen similar issues with JAMMA type adapters including J-PACs, when using an IO board.

One solution I know which works is remove C6 on the underside of the IO board it's the 100uf on the SOG switch, and just jumper it with a wire.

Sending more love Nat's way, I upgraded to a 128mb ram module, it arrived promptly and it works flawlessly. Thanks Nat. Thanks, I'm really enjoying your content, the BBS videos really do bring back memories flooding back. Buy your MiSTer mt32-Pi HAT here Nice. I just did, thank you. Also dropped you a quick mail via the contact as well since I'd o...
