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...

Looks much better, good to see this worked for you.

Many of the Chinese produced v6.0 IO boards seem to have this issue, as in they are all missing the P7 header pins. If anyone else has this issue, just drop me a message via my website I am happy to post you a set of pins out free of charge to so you can fix your own IO board, you will need a soldering iron and some solder and basic soldering exper...

Just a quick update hopefully giving you plenty of time to put an order in over the UK Easter holiday weekend for an mt32-Pi HAT. I have completed another batch. All OLED screen colours are in stock but I expect white will sell out quickly as it always does, I also have USB3 male / male cables available to be included with your order should you nee...

How can I disable them? If you have the analog IO board v6.1 you can cut this trace on the underside of the circuit board, this will disable all three coloured status LED's to enable them again you will need to bridge the trace again. On the boards I build, I just cut the trace and install a 2 pin header on the top side of the PCB and add a jumper...

I'm very pleased with this cute little thing. Glad you like it, I love mine! Okay another mt32-pi batch should be available over the weekend, I have been shipping out the orders from the last batch all week and should be finished tomorrow. So far the most popular OLED colour is white, but my personal favourite is yellow :) mt32-pi-Yellow-OLED-Scre...

I've seen somewhere that the IO board needs an additional mod but so far have been unable to locate details for that. As you realised the v6.0 IO board will not work with the SEGA controller adapter, here is some information on the modification. Hope it helps. https://www.reddit.com/r/MiSTerProject/comments/gmxwu3/modding_older_io_boards_for_use_w...

The last batch of mt32-pi HATs sold out again, this time it was in six hours

Thanks for all the orders! I will have another batch in production shortly as I have enough parts to build another 90 mt32-pi's.

So then I assume it is safe to use switches, for example, sold by misterfpga.co.uk. I assumed I was unlucky. Looks more of a thing than I realised. It's certainly not normal behavior for the inline switches I supply, I suspect your switch was faulty, if you drop me a message via the contact form on my website with your order number I will have a r...

I have now received a fair few emails asking for some advance notification on when the next batch of mt32-pi HATs will be on sale, as they sold out so quickly last time. This next batch consists of 30 units of each OLED colour screen version (white, blue, yellow). mt32-pi orders will be open on Sunday 21/03/2021 @ 2.00pm GMT Buy an mt32-pi misterfp...

Hi Nat. Do you have any update about availability of those cables? Currently with good old Parcel Force, at least they are in the UK now. I expect delivery anytime now. Due to many requests from my South Korean and German customers I have added the Helios Yellow case, It is a perfect match for the yellow OLED mt32-pi HATs :) It's crazy the amount ...

Yes that is correct, the Atari adapter also requires an ADC input and a 3.5mm AUX cable if you wish to use the Atari paddle controller. However the Atari joystick controller does not require any additional hardware to function.

Hey Nat, did you sell all of them in one go ? Pretty much, I had 60 built and completed and they sold out in about 24 hours from being placed live onto the store. I just tried to buy one, and it says it's only available on back order. If you have a quick read of my delivery page I give an explanation on what I mean when an item is set on 'backorde...

Any rough ETA on ready-to-go MT-32Pi hats/cables for purchase? A month isn't too soon to ask since the question was last raised, I hope :). Happy to provide an update, basically my shipment of male to male USB 3.0 cables are inside a shipping container slowly travelling via sea to me in the UK. As I wanted to keep shipping costs low and being a la...

I should have finished the first batch of complete mt32-Pi hats this week, I will post here as soon as they are live on the webiste.

In the meantime I had a number of requests to make the PCB's available so added them for those who wanted to make their own mt32-Pi for MiSTer Pi hat PCB

Sneak peek of the MT32-pi top plate!

I have 128MB ram module from https://misterfpga.co.uk

Sorry to hear your now having issues with Jotego's latest build, if you are one of my customers with a v2.5 128MB SDRAM module and having issues, just contact me. I will rework or exchange your SDRAM module.

xtcrefugee wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 1:43 am Hi Nat, do you have any plans to stock the new MT32-pi hat?

Yes I certainly do, I am just waiting for the PCB's (top and bottom plates) to arrive with me, then I will produce a batch!

Sorry to hear your order has not arrived yet, your package would be delivered by USPS. If you can please use my website’s contact page and let me know your order number I can help and investigate it from there. Cheers!

Many thanks to everyone who placed an order over the Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend, it might take me an extra day or so to catch up with shipping and packing all the orders.

You are indeed correct, a typo on my part it should have been 80mcd I have corrected my original post.

Anyone know where I can source in Europe. mouser, rs-online, digi key etc.

If you send me a message via my website with your address, I am happy to send you a few in the post free of charge.

mrtomato wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 2:01 pm Could you tell me with what kind of Noctua fan this case is compatible?

The case will fit any 40mm x 40mm x 10mm fan, the Noctua fans I use are the NF-A4x10 5 volt version.

lamarax wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 8:54 pm Please note, the 'semi-official' Noctua NF-A4x10 5V fan will not run @ 3.3V as advertised, so take care to put the jumper on the 5V setting.

I think your fan is possibly faulty as the Noctua NF-A4x10 5V should work perfectly using the 3.3 volt jumper selection, albeit at a lower rpm.

If you are looking for a transparent case to show off your MiSTer build I now have some available! Cases for both IO board types are available.
