Hi, Most 1980s displays are 15Khz. It is around 263 lines per frame with around 240 visible lines. 1 picture is made of 2 frames with interlaced content. Early arcade games use the same content for both frames, this ease the 31Khz (480 visible lines) conversion with very simple line doubler. Such scan/line doubler cannot convert true interlaced vid...

Phoenix:
Phoenix and mother's ship sounds slightly enhanced.

However, I quickly realized that the audio is very inaccurate, being nothing like the original arcade game. Is this a work in progress or is likely to remain that way? Thanks. Thanks for noticing the issue. Phoenix is not work in progress, I wrote this core on 2016 for DE2-35 board. Phoenix sound requires a nice amount of work due to the fact that...

Ok. I got it. I will add this soon.

I've done it the same way as for Qbert. I hope it ease game play with a 8 ways controller. It is not suitable for (my own) keyboard cause it prevent to jump East or West.

Thank you for the core. I added a pull request where I fixed the setname for the MRA. Could you please verify?

Thank you for that update. Your pull request has been merged.

New arcade core Congo Bongo.
- PCB sufficiently different from Zaxxon to build separate code.
- Sound uses PSGs and samples. Wave files resampled for size optimization.

You have access to create or fork repos in mister-devel if you'd like to put it there. It's better if you do it so you can manage changes to it.

Thanks. Congo Bongo is now on MiSTer-devel (I hope so).

Turkey Shoot - The Day They Took Over has been ported by birdybro to MiSTer, this core was originally written by darfpga Hi, Good job. Thank you to birdybro for porting that core. This core was the first I started to work on at mid January after watching the film ' Richard Jewell '. There is a sequence at the very beginning (around 3 or 4min) wher...

Color weighting as from Mame available on github.com/darfpga.

No proof how it should actualy be.

It was a lot of fun learning how to port a core with darfpga's newest cores. Big thanks to Alanswx and Jimmystones for so much help in guiding me along (but not giving me the answers either, they made me work for it).

Good job guys. Thank you for porting the core.

Joust2 for DE10_lite now updated with background sound and speech at github.com/darfpga.

To atrac17 your PM receipt is disabled. I'm sorry, I thought you could respond if I DM'ed. Let me figure it out. Were you interested in it? Edit: I am able to receive DM's now. Short reply is that my very old PC is far too much slow to make any compilation/debug directly for MiSTer. Dev for MAX10 is way faster than for Cyclone V. Thank you anyway....

Hi,
Background sound and speech board for Joust2 is now available at github.com\darfpga. It is currently a standalone for DE10_lite but strait forward usable for MiSTer. Raw outputs to be mixed and controlled as desire.

Joust2 for DE10 lite also available on https://github.com/darfpga. (No speech ATM).

Hi,

VHDL code for Turkey shoot and Inferno arcade games for DE10_Lite board are available on github.com/darfpga. Feel free to port to MiSTer.
