Make sure you didn't map the analog stick in the core menu

You don't map the analog stick in the core menu; make sure you map it from the main menu.

Ah that worked. The first time it was only asking me to input right on analog stick 1 but this time it asked for right and then down. Thanks for the help

So i have an N64 USB pad that i bought ages ago Im not sure on the manufacture as theres no marking just says 'Made in China' on the top of the pad. The pad works fine in Windows but with the MiSTer it doesn't detect any movement when moving the analog stick up and down!. Any ideas why this happens?

where the best place to get a complied build from?

Does this core run on the official MiSTer main now or do you still need to use the unstable MiSTer file?

Any ideas why i get an HDR: '3' out of range message when booting the MiSTer??

In the MiSTer INI i have..

HDR option '3' enable (HLG)
and MIN Nit set to '250' and MAX Nits set to '550'

Thanks.

I have a hot air station so ill use that and cover the board bar the usb port with tinfoil to reflect the heat and Kapton tape

Im having the same issue currently. I have the RetroCastle IO board from AliExpress and noticed that my USB devices were always hit and miss if they worked, i had to power off and on a few times and then they would work but after a while that stopped working. I then found out if i didn't insert the USB bridge adapter all the way then this got it to...

So the Micro USB port on my MiSTer where you plug USB_OTG devices into seems to be on the frits. I have to be careful how far i insert the usb into this OTG port otherwise no devices work. Im going to attempt to replace this USB port but im not 100% sure what USB port it actually is, i dont want to buy the wrong type and replace it to find out and ...

does this need a bios file?

Wonder if a RPi Zero 2 would be powerfully enough to do the the camera processing, then maybe the next version of the Sinden could have RPi Zero build into it and remove the need for external devices

BlockABoots

Would all that is needed from the MiSTer is to draw a white box around the game image??

Is there a way to get the original System menu (the grey one) that came on older PlayStation consoles?

BlockABoots

So im trying to use the 8BitDo M30 2.4G version, but 1 of the function buttons doesn't seem to be registered and 2 buttons seem to do the same function. The small 'Star' button on the pad (below the start button to the right) doesn't seem to register an input at all when trying to configure buttons form the MiSTer menu and the 'Minus' button (direc...

Is there a fix for some games and the PSX boot screen displaying in a smaller display in the centre of the screen, i guess its something to do with res or interlaced video mode on some game that switch between different screen modes???

BlockABoots

So just trying this core out now, is there a way to increase the height of the screen like you can with the Amiga core?, as at the moment im getting display thats not filling the height of my screen

Such a nice compact design with a power button and Sega Saturn Analog video output!!

Well i know atrac17's older revisions of the modelines used to have custom aspect ratios for Jotego's arcade cores

BlockABoots

Thats a sound plan, ill delete the Arcade, MAME and MAMEB folders and start from fresh!

It would appear its Jotego's JTBeta.zip file that has an Alt folder under the Acades folder for some reason!

After that ill run the The arcade-organizer script

BlockABoots

So have noticed after running the Update_all script that in the _Arcade folder there appears to be Alt and Alternatives folder. The Alt folder appears to have just Jotego's alternatives roms where as the Alternatives folder has Jotego's alternatives plus all the other arcade core alternatives. Is the organisation of the Arcade folder supposed to ha...

BlockABoots

Thanks for all the hard work put into creating these!!

So, are there no custom aspect ratios for arcade cores anymore as i just see custom video modes for arcade cores??

Got a new case with a custom ioboard/usb combo from taobao (saw it on the Mister Facebook group). They have various colour variants and even an aluminum design. Very nice and slim design. They replaced the vga port with a sega Saturn one. Which is okay. But I think I would prefer the vga one. I added/fiddled a usbc port for power which cracked a b...

So other than being able to use original pads on the MiSTer is the BlisSTer worth if from a latency stand point?, when using the standard MiSTer version 2.1 USB hub and enabling the fast polling option??? I was under the impression nowadays that the latency of the standard USB hub of the MiSTer is so good that you cant tell a difference from that o...

So i made another cable today am still getting the same audio buzzing from the TV speaker. I have been be soldering the bare copper wire from the VGA cable to the metal shell of the Scart cable. Am i right in thinking this bare copper wire is ground? as touching one end of my MultiMeter to this bare copper wire than then any metal part of the VGA p...

I ended up plugging a rca male to male cable into those outputs and the buzz completely disappeared.

Guess ill give that a good, despite how stranger it sounds lol

3.5mm audio pigtail is a 3.5mm plug already connected to a short piece of audio cable like this: By using one you don't have to deal with the nasty nickel plated connections on the plug - I hate soldering those. The cable has 2 wires (left and rigth) and a shield. If you used only 3 wires without shield it could be the cause of your buzz. Where di...

Should i be soldering a small wire from Pin 2 (right audio) to Pin 4 (Ground) and Pin 6 (left audio) to Pin 4 (ground) on the scart plug??? I take it thats what this symbol means on the diagram right??.... to join the audio line to the ground line right??? No, what it means is that you should use a shielded audio cable with the shield connected at...

So i have built my own scart to vga cable to use along with a HDMI to VGA adapter. I followed the diagram from here, https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-board/wiki/ScartCable scart.jpg the only alteration i did was to add a 470k resistor to the sync line on the scart end (Pin 20). But i noticed im getting a slight audio buzz from the left speaker of...

BlockABoots

I thought for RGB pin 6 on the VGA connector goes to ground and not pin 10???

BlockABoots

Any ideas why I get the above issues???
