anyone tried the 75,4Hz mode with "Sync core to Video -> On" on a pc vga crt monitor? i get black screen.

I use direct video through hdmi to vga though and scandoubler and not the vga io port.

Horz180 mode will be added the next days.

very impressive,
youre a legend !!

I really enjoying this core! So many games that I never tried before...

An interesting companion for this, but no idea how you'd actually make it work usefully, would be a Wonderborg core.

hello, these boot roms are giving me trouble. Sure I got them on the no-intro sets but they weren't rom format, they still don't work if I rename them either.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 2:59 pm**

*update* nevermind. I was mislead by how the github instructions were written. The bios work when I just put them in the root of my WonderSwan games folder. The way it's written, I thought I had to put the bios in their own folders ><

woohoo, the 75.4hz refresh works on my computer monitor!
was playing a little bit of dicing knight, and silversword last night, fun stuff.

its a shame the majority of these games are japan only, but there are luckily some english translation patches around

Awesome release!
Any chance to limit integer scaling to something like 4x/5x in future releases?
Full screen image on 1080p (7.5x I guess?) is kinda blurry.

You can set custom options for resolution/scaling in the Wonderswan core in the mister.ini

Thanks!

The vertical mode on a crt is just perfect. I didn't take it for granted.

anyone could give a pointer on where to find boot roms ? thx a lot.

Just use the update_all script.

With the BIOS updater option enabled.

After the update supporting Benesse PocketChallengeV2 I tried some roms. Did anyone find any "usable" rom as they seem to be only in Japanese?

I did have it disabled.

Man, excellent work!! Thank you for this core. Hopefully one day someone will port it to the Analogue Pocket.

Could this core be incompatible with the 4chip 128 SDRAM that Antonio Villena sells? I can get some homebrew running on the 22.04.17 version, but not always, and nothing else loads. Has anyone else have issues with the 4C SDRAM?

Most of the games I test on this core do not boot. I could only get a single game to boot, Digimon Tamers - Battle Spirit Ver. 1.5 (Japan).wsc.

All other games just sit on a white screen after I load them. I tried deleting the bios files and rerunning update all. I have tried games from different rom packs. Nothing loads.

Any thoughts on what I need to do to get more games working?

Turns out I had two cores for the wonderswan installed which was confusing me a lot. One just called Wonderswan and one called Wonderswan Color.

The wonderswan color core was probably an old build and not loading things well. I loaded the core labeled "Wonderswan" to do some testing and realized it also loaded Color games, all the games are loading just fine on the main core.

I must have tried a beta core or something and update all gave me the working core which left me confused between the two cores.

It must have been WonderSwan Color.mgl.
This is a relatively new feature for cores emulating several devices, in this case WonderSwan B/W and WonderSwan Color.
It also created a games/WonderSwanColor directory where you can put the color games, the games/WonderSwan containing the B/W games.
I did not use this feature yet but you have to edit the mgl file to indicate which color files you have (I am not sure of the format to use).
There are other cores like this but I don't know which ones.

The WonderSwan stopped working for me too (it was fine a few weeks ago).

It boots to a grey screen (no bios detected, seemingly) and that's the extent of its current functionality.

I was aware of the newly separate folders for regular WS and WSC games, and had split the ROMs accordingly a while ago, not expecting there to be a problem (there hasn't been an issue with the similarly newly split GB/GBC libraries and their dedicated folders).

Posted: **Fri Jan 27, 2023 5:52 am**

I must say that i never tried the mgl files...

In any case: both BIOS files should be in both folders. Or you just use the normal wonderswan for both color and noncolor games....

Anyone having issue with Judgement Silversword?
Even if I define the buttons, I cannot start a game.
I can use "start" to go to main menu. Then "A" and "B" don't work.
Tried other games it worked no probem.
Tried different rom version of Judgement Silversword and same result...
It was working great a few months ago so I wonder if something happen during an update..

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2023 7:48 pm**

@natadiem,

Just tried this game and it works w/o any issue.

WonderSwan_23-03-03
MainMister_23-02-26
The game I used from Archive.org: Judgement Silversword - Rebirth Edition (2004-02-05)(Qute).wsc

Posted: **Fri Mar 24, 2023 8:07 pm**

If the game is rotated, the buttons rotate, too, so you may have to use different buttons.

Can anyone help with the correct vscale_border setting on this core? With 1:1 integer scaling it looks huge on my 4k screen.i’m using a resolution on 1080p in my Mister.ini. I’m guessing the correct number for me is around 300 or so.

I’ve tried to use a couple of settings (with what I thought was the correct maths) but when I apply an LCD post processing effect the squares are far from even - looks terrible no matter what I try.

I’ve been able to correctly set the GameBoy consoles correctly but can’t seem to do it for the WonderSwan consoles.

Thanks,
