Not sure if these are the correct config files. I didn't found files for the core only for the game.I saved 60 Hz and DDR.

That was a good idea as I can switch to DDR. But it did not fix the problem

Thanks to KnC and Chris23235. I used the method by renaming the zip, making the changes in the OSD and renaming back the zip.
As it did not work I looked for a different rom (I had no reason to doubt about the rom I got using Update All, Mame Getter). I downloaded the first one I found (it had a different size).
It worked :D . Only one time :( .
Something funky is going on.

Currently I am experimenting with a USB HDD and MISTer "Switched to USB". Only once did I manage to start the ROM.
I went back to my previous setting which is with a USB HDD containing only the games directory. mame and hbmame are sub-directories of games, the arcade cores and rbfs are on the SD card. This also did not work.
Last I used a setup with only a SD card. This time it works almost 100% of the time. Once in a while loading one of the mras crashes MISTer.

Thanks so much to nullobject for this core. I have never before been able to 1CC this game......and I still can not :lol: This was the game that introduced me to bullet hell shooters back in the day and it brings back some great memories.

jca, do you happen to be using the USB version of the update_all script?

Hi all,

Any chance anyone know why I can’t get sound on the new Dodonpachi core? I have a Tripp lite hdmi vga adapter which gives sound for everything else. Im getting only a hum coming through. I’ve got it connected up to my scart tvs through a gscart board and there’s no sound to both tvs.

I’ve had a look at the sound menu in the dodonpachi core as well as played around with advanced settings, and also the sound filter (which I have no clue what this is for) without success. Not sure if it’s a config.ini setting but as mentioned, every other core works fine.

Not sure what to try next but hopeful someone might have an idea.

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem and it's already reported: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade- ... /issues/32

An external DAC did the trick for me.

When using the configuration with "Switch to USB" I use the USB version of Update All.
When using the USB HDD with just the games directory I use the regular Update All and I created ini files for MAME GETTER and HBMAME GETTER to point to /media/usb0/games/mame and hbmame.
When using Switch to USB I managed to start the core only once after many many tries.
When using the USB HDD with only the games directory I did not manage to start the core once but I did not try too many times.
When using only the SD card it mostly works, not almost 100% as I said previously but more like 75% of the time.
The core is set to SDRAM.
Regarding the sound: I have sound both on HDMI and on analog out.

I had lots of problems with most of the arcade cores when using a USB drive. What I ultimately did that, so far, has not had any issues was to put only the games folder on the USB drive, except for the mame and hbmame folders, which I left in the games folder on the SD card.

I never had any problem with arcades cores on a USB Drive, either with only the games directory on the USB drive or when "Switching to USB". The only problems I experienced are the same as everyone else had and which are unrelated to the fact that the files are on a USB drive or not.
One thing I did was to write a script to keep the drive spinning at all time.

Sorry some folks are having trouble getting the core to run.

I just posted something about this on my Patreon (public post): https://www.patreon.com/posts/46222825

TL;DR I'm working on the boot issues for some people.

Don't worry, and thank you so much for your work.
I have the "Keyboard" message, waiting, waiting, waiting ... nothing :-(
Hope you will be able to find the bug.

my HDTV isnt compatible with 57.5hz, so i have to run the game in 60hz mode, but DDP plays great !
really looking forward to more cave titles, @nullobject :D

and im especially looking forward to the planned toaplan v2 arcades.
garegga and batrider will be a dream come true
(and the more standard refresh rate, 59.6hz, will be compatible with my HDTV, and probably most other people as well)

That sucks man. What are your symptoms now? Still on the first screen?

With so many people having problems, I wonder if anyone is willing to send nullobject their MiSTer setup so he can look into it?

i had a similar issue loading the core as well.
i would run the core and it would just hang on the keyboard message and then my TV would say "mode not supported".
what "fixed" my boot problem was finding out my HDTV is not compatible with 57.5hz, so i had to start the core in 60hz mode.

https://filebin.net/d2bvj5o42jtf2l7g - someone in the classic gaming discord uploaded that for me
(put that in your media/fat/config folder on your mister and it will set DDP to start in 60hz)

i cant play DDP (or any of the upcoming 1st gen cave games) in the original refresh/speed, and at 60hz, it is sped up to ~104%, but it does play great!

--------------

as an aside, i was wondering if it would be possible to have the 60hz mode slowed down by ~4% to match the original game speed?
perhaps someone could do this with a game patch, or nullobject could implement a CPU underclock setting for 60hz mode that will better match the original refresh rate/speed when in 60hz mode ??

Back to my setup Switched to USB.
Some remarks:
It does not seem to be a memory problem.
It does not seem to be a problem with the media (SD/USB) although it seems to be somewhat better on SD.
The Japan version boots almost every time.
The No Warn version boots most of the time.
The Arrange and International version boot more infrequently with the International version being the most difficult.
When switching between the different mras the remnants of the previous mra are still on the screen and are not static: engines still running, fire ball still whirling, ..., even after a cold boot using MISTer button.

I have the same behavior with mine that you are seeing.

While updating remotely my MISTer for Minimig I noticed an update to the Cave mras and addition of 2 new ones Dangun Feveron and ESP Ra.De.
I will test them later.

They aren't working yet; I don't believe the RBF has been updated. (I tried compiling the rbf myself and they don't work with latest code either, so perhaps more work is required)

Thanks.
Also, the MAME GETTER does not download the dfeveron.zip, only the esprade.zip.
