Is it possible you have the UART in PETSCII vs. normal ASCII mode?

I wonder if you could play the Namco Museum PS1 Pole Position, with the Namco Jog Con controller ?
That would be epic, as Pole Position is hard to get the controls right with emulation, as the original had a continuous steering wheel.

If the original supported it and you're using SNAC, I don't see why not.

So its somehow gotten easier to find 50hz CRTs now in America when no-one has been making the things for decades?

I won't belabor the point, but it was never particularly difficult. Even the 1084S (not P) could autoswitch.

There is no change to how the games run (they will have the correct PAL or NTSC setting, like before), and there is also no change to the launcher, which always ran in NTSC.

My apologies - somehow after all this time, I never noticed the launcher ran in NTSC in the first place! LOL Carry on. =)

What real changes are present in this core that are absent in the official one?

I'll be honest - being someone who grew up in the 70s, as convenient as portable retrogaming may be (and I have enjoyed my Miyoo as well), my eyesight just isn't what it once was and it's actually a pleasure to play with "LEGO brick pixels" on a large display these days. LOL

When the arm is overclocked Munt/Fluidsynth are working very very well on the Mister, especially for something that doesn't need extra hardware.

In my experience, even when overclocked, stutter and buffer overrun was pretty common. The user port add-on modules work like butter, though.

Why would you direct the OP to do a full factory reinstall? It sounds like it just wants to do a Linux update. OP, can you copy/paste or screenshot what you're seeing?

Also, archive.org has been available again for almost a day.

Oh my goodness. Best of luck with that approach. I'm out of this discussion.

Anybody else having issues with the 1942 core not scaling so both the top and bottom of the game isn't cut off. I've tried several other games in the vertical orientation and only 1942 is showing the top/bottom (scores, coins entered, etc...) is cutoff.

I don't see this problem here, no.

It only happens on one specific revision.

That isn't what I mean. The problem reported on github is sprite 'splitting'...a very different issue altogether.

@zakk4223 that's a different problem. The US version (only) cuts off the top when rotated as the OP indicated.

It bothers the hell out of me that they claim "100% compatibility because #FPGA!" on every single product release, then the bug and incompatibility reports roll in.

That being said, good that we're getting closer on the whole day by day to finally having good fidelity N64 systems. Miles away from UltraHLE. =)

Just tried Ares.

Confusingly,

SEGA MEGA DRIVE (C)SEGA 1993.JUN
CD2 BOOT ROM     06/01-1993     20:00      2.00W
14db9657bbaa6fbb9249752424dc0ce4  boot.rom

DOES autostart on Ares (with seemingly no way to disable this behavior) but not on MiSTer.

We're gonna need real hardware.

I'll take a look.

Has anyone tried other emulators besides Kega Fusion to see if the same issue occurs there?

Good luck finding one that runs on Windows 11 64-bit. I was going to try RetroArch but couldn't be bothered.

@niallquinn That's why I only use SanDisk-branded cards. I've yet to lose one in 15 years.

I doubt it. AFAIK, individual cores have to be specifically coded for more than one SNAC controller.

With the exception of the Saturn 3D controller, all Sega controllers are fully digital.
