I use my MT32-pi thru wifi networks with my mac and the built-in network midi setup. I found some third-party options for Windows but I haven't tried myself.

rtpMIDI driver for windows:

This one should be better for your setup:

Yes the menu change the volume on all output (HDMI, Digital audio and Analog with IO Board). It will lower the volume but the max volume will be topped at line level. If you need to drive a good pair of headphone with higher impedance you should check for a headphone DAC with a dedicated volume control.

BigMac2

In that case you will have to rely on the volume control in the Mister menu.

If the usb power is a issue, since it's a regular 5volt input, you could use your main Mister power supply with a Y splitter. Also, depending of your digital IO addons you will need a Toslink to SPIDF adaptor or cable:

I don't own that particular model. Depending of your mister USB hub, if you got one of those add-on board for your MisterFPGA it shouldn't be a issue.

BigMac2

Hi,

You can either use a HDMI audio extractor or a Toslink audio DAC.

That's this thing here that's missing? This is a general overview, but it's missing specifics on the registers. Maybe it's a mistake telling Mac that it's a SE if this is absent, that games might fallback to Mac+ sound if it's set to +? https://se30forever.com/sound.html The Macintsoh SE and Macintosh SE/30 are 2 different product, To my knowledge...

Another option is to use something like FileZilla https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=osx

Then connect via sftp

Cybeduck (https://cyberduck.io) is a good alternative on MacOS for sftp connection.

I want to capture full screen, not the screen part in core. Window Key + PrtScr is not suitable for me. I hope to capture the screen after filter processing like scanline, and include the left & right border in 16:9. The resolution of screen I captured is what the screen resolution set in Mister.ini Is there any way to achieve the goal? I've f...

Nice port routing and MT-32pi integration in a cool case!

What travel case is that? I've reused an old 3.5 HDD Lacie carrying case, everything fits perfectly. https://www.amazon.ca/LaCie-130903-3-5-Inch-Drive-Carrying/dp/B002CPZZLK Thanks! Currently I just wrap it in esd bag and electronics bubble wrap when I've taken it on a plane and all that. I like the idea of having a semi-hard case though with soft...

I wonder, does any one have try a Freesync monitor with vsync_adjust=1 yet? I've got an old (2008) Toshiba Tekbright monitor that I can drive at any native core refresh (vsync_adjust=1) upscaled to the panel native resolution (1680x1050). Beside being old and a fading backlight, this thing is glorious for displaying games like Dodonpachi @ 57hz or ...

I also want to thanks Flynnbit for his packs and videos on how to setup the Mister AO486 core with dos extender tweaks, your videos are invaluable. I've got a suggestion for another working games from the Exodus collection to include in the next pack; Castle of Dr Brain (1991), it's a colourful puzzle logics game for all ages and the soundtrack is ...

The OSD is already semitransparent, I think the question was more about personalization.

I have a problem and cant seem to get any games to work after I run the "AO486_Update_Top300_Pack.sh", they seem to run just fine on a fresh install but after I run the update script I always get "Secondary VHD not mounted!" and "Please mount a games VHD to the "Mount Secondary HDD *.VHD" on your MiSTer and reset...

v12.01 of my image was just released. Please update! It is by far the best version to date. Includes some extras this time. Knock on wood, this one should be mostly stable so barring any reported showstoppers (testers, let me know if you can boot this thing up, etc.), I may take some time to work on the Amiga/ShapeShifter image next. There are ood...

Most common issue is the USB cable, the audio feed is very very length sensitive. You need a very short USB3 cable, everything over 12 inch screwup the I2S audio connection. This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B07QMPJ9V1/ Thank you - it did come with a USB3 cable, but I will replace that one just to be sure. Strange, make ...

I think you should avoid arcade core for now, those games want to kill the player as fast as possible. I don't have any specific suggestions, but you should start with console like the Atari or Coleco Vision, also old computer core like the MSX or C64 got more of educational and slow pace games than consoles.

RetroArch syncs the cores to the host's framerate, and so does DuckStation since yesterday providing you activate the "sync to host refresh rate" option. So it's IMPOSSIBLE to have out-of-sync frames if you have enough CPU to cope with the emulation on your buffer scheme (you need more CPU to emulate the same machine on 2 buffers: but ru...

What break software emulation for me isn't a question of lag but video stutter. I'm very sensitive to screen refresh and uneven/misaligned frame timing like watching 24p film converted to 60i/30p TV with telecine. Most software emulation doesn't care about preserving vsync frequency from original hardware like Mister does so easily on both analog a...

For what I know, the HPS (ARM cpu) of the Cyclone V doesn't have a direct access to video and sound coming out of the FPGA Core, making hard (if not impossible) to output sound on any USB/Bluetooth audio interface beside Fluidsynth/MT32 sounds used with some computer cores.

Question about transforming the Mister into an OSSC has already been debated many times, doing so needs to reallocate currently used GPIO and add a new IOBoard with analog inputs, from there it’s better have another dedicated project than merge it into Mister. Now about video over USB, in my understanding of the Cyclone V architecture, the USB and ...

The DaemonBite project https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder, build around a Arduino Pro Micro it seams a cheap alternative.
