That did it! I think my directory was a residue from the old days.

Thanks for the tip, and thanks again to @alansxw for sorting out yet another obscure-but-wonderful machine for us.

I changed the path to match the Atom.. Sorry!

The keyboard seems like a problem. I am open to suggestions and/or help with the documentation.

CoCo2
* Fixed Dragon 64 Mode
* Added Floppy support to CoCo2
* Added experimental floppy support to dragon (through coco compatibility)

Acorn Atom
+ fixed joystick
+ fixed video (15khz)
+ shift-f10 will boot into boot.vhd SSD image for MMC card

Acorn Electron
+ first release of port by oldgit
+ fixed video 15khz, added joystick
+ requires boot.vhd SSD image for MMC card

Atari Subs
- new arcade game by James Sweet ported to MiSTer with the help of Gehstock, alanswx, and JasonA

3. Does the MiSTer run everything off the SD card in terms of the cores, OS and MiSTer versions, etc. or does contents of the SD card actually change something on the MiSTer on a hardware level or I should say, internally somewhere on the MiSTer or is the SD card the heart and soul? ie. If I mess something up with the new 256gb SD card install, po...

CoCo3
- first alpha release - please make issues in github
- Port of Gary Becker's famous CoCo3 by Stan Hodge

Most of the arcade games run correctly without an SDRAM module. You don't have to use the Analog I/O board for 15Khz output; you can use an HDMI to VGA adapter on the HDMI port. I personally use a VGA to SCART adapter to connect it to a 15Khz display, but I am in Europe where most non-HDMI 15Khz displays have an RGB SCART connection. So your minim...

Maybe for the UK cores, the keyboard layout is 'part of the thing,' but with Apple 2, there were all kinds of keyboard layouts, and they eventually evolved towards the PC style layout in the end. I prefer the PC layouts myself. The PC emulators I use mostly use PC layouts, and it's a quirk of mister, hunting around in oddball cores to find where t...

I have also been in discussions with alanswx. He is close to booting the same core. Yes [I will double confirm this with Gary but his source code is free now - its just a bit hard to find. I think between alanswx me we will get it working. -Stan Hi, you say it is available and open but hard to find. Why not give a link to it if you have found it. ...

I would say that is super expensive.. Keep watching for them. Or look in e-waste areas.

If it isn't super expensive, and has RGB input it would be worth playing with. Should be able to resell it easily if you don't need it.

Hi, Is this topic for discussing about updates or corrections suggested to the wiki ? (without the risk of being yelled "Just fix it yourself if you are not happy with it!") A small remark : sometimes informations are spread across 2 (official) sources, and one of them is not up to date. For example, I tried to build my SDRAM XDS v2.9 mo...

The MRA for Donkey Kong currently contains WAVs already, take a look at the big data section: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade-DonkeyKong_MiSTer/blob/caf571e641b673d0e5527ceb36cabd6499166ddb/releases/Donkey%20Kong%20(US,%20Set%201).mra I want to record a bunch of WAVs from MAME, reformat them to what is already in the MRA, then put in code t...

Thanks for the help, I got the file and give it a go. install went okay but again when I turned off and back on.. stuck on a black screen. Right now I'm utterly baffled and getting more frustrated by the hour. FedEx fannied me about with delivering the de10, this on top is the last thing I need. Make sure the SD card is well seated. If it pulls ou...

Commercialization / making money is not my objective. I am interested in, and pitching the idea for, a MiSTer in a Nintendo classic mini / Super NT form factor, maybe something for arcade too (if not already existing, the feedback from alanswx is helpful). This would never work in an 'open source' approach, like sharing the schematics/gerbers/STEP...

There are a few mister projects based on the de10-nano that accomplish your goals. They are a bit or an extreme design because they have to plug into the dev board. Jammix, mistercade, and there is a console now too.

Try this binary:MiSTer.zip Thanks! I downloaded and installed your archive but it did not change anything, I still cannot find the file (searched using both F12 and F9). I guess I am doing something wrong. I was a bit surprised you posted a new MiSTer file, I had expected a SharpMZ.rbf file. I think -/_ is one of the arrows (up). No, that just giv...

This saved from basic for me and dumps it in the top level of the sharpmz game folder.

Try this binary:

oops.. it works! Let me work out a better patch. It is now putting the file in the saves directory with .sav instead of .mzf

I think -/_ is one of the arrows (up).

How do I load the tape in basic to see if it works? I think I know why the file isn't writing, but I would like to see if this file is correct.

The writing might be broken in the MiSTer binary. Interesting, send me a list of Sharp MZ basic commands and I will see if I can reproduce it. 1) This is just a keyboard problem, I just cannot find the cursor keys. I did find all the other keys. 2) I wrote a short BASIC program, and tried to save it: 10 PRINT "TEST" RUN TEST READY SAVE &...

I am using the Sharp MZ core (dated 21.07.09) in the Sharp MZ-80K configuration, using the SP-1002 monitor ROM and BASIC SP-5025 from a .mzf file. 1. I cannot find the cursor keys. I found the SML/CAP key (Backspace), the INS/DEL key (Caps Lock), the CLR/HOME key (Tab) and the BREAK key (the key above Tab, left of 1), but no trace of the cursor ke...

Try the new core, dated 21.07.09: it now supports HDMI, and it loads .mzf tape files without errors. I updated the core to fix the timing, and add HDMI. I fixed a bug that was introduced into the MiSTer binary. It works, but should be reworked to be more of a standard core with standard OSD. Let me know how much interest there is in this core.. I ...

Is there any way to save to (virtual) tape on the Dragon/CoCo core? And are there any plans for (virtual) disk support (DragonDOS)? I would like to put my real Dragons away, and use the MiSTer as my main Dragon (that’s how well it works, and it’s so easy to bring with me), but that means I must have a way to save to either disk or tape. Anyone who...

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

No, I get a black screen and the system hangs and has to be rebooted.

D.

Do you have a new mister binary? I had to make some changes in there.

I didn’t update the readme when I added hdmi. Do you get the osd?

It is hard to do without three joysticks plugged in.
