Incoming new core: Amstrad PCW

[steddyman]

Yes, it does support 15khz. I use it on an Amiga 1081 monitor.

Glad you all like it.

Thanks

hi

Uncompressed file works fine on my Mister. At least loads the menu, I haven´t gone further.

[steddyman]

Yep... I've played Batman on the MiSTer core many times. Works perfectly.

This was me playing it nearly a month ago, on the release 1 of the core: https://youtu.be/1IrI-LB45WU

[breiztiger]

i'm sorry i know that batman work but with this dsk and last build of core i have title screen, after some flash screen and 4 bips

i have delete config files but good at all

[steddyman]

Excellent. If you get 4 bips it means you have the wrong model PCW selected. A 9512+ PCW cannot boot 8256 disks. That's the same on the real hardware and I have mentioned that in the readme.

[breiztiger]

yes but as i have delete config files it's per default 8256

[steddyman]

Yep. Or you can just reselect 8256 in the OSD.

Is there a way to start Batman if you don't have a keyboard with a Numpad? If I press Enter on my keyboard (without a numpad) it just moves the menu selector.

@steddyman,

Is there any progress on the Core ? I've in mind the SymbOS which is not working and the share folder ?.

Thanks you so much.

[steddyman]

Sorry, only just had chance to check the forums.

No, I've tried to contact the author of SymbOS through various channels to understand what it could be doing that isn't documented, but I've had no responses back.

[kathleen]

Thank you for the feed back @steddyman
Hope you'll get an answer from the author of SymbOS

Hi folks !

The latest version of the Amstrad PCW core is 10 months old, I was wondering if there is an intention to resynthesize it with the new framework. I think the new scaling options as V-Integer, Narrower HV Int, Wider HV-int would improve the experience a lot since the core video is a bit corseted.

Thanks ! , cheers.

I didn't realize there were new scaling options. Do we need to download a new Mister.ini template to see all the options?

Hi ! No, the core needs to be resynthesized using the latest MiSTer's framework: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Template_MiSTer

Then the core can be found at: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Amstrad-PCW_MiSTer

I'll try some workarround, just need to adapt existing core to the new template.
