Re: Help getting ao486 to run

EDIT: Did you update the Main to the latest? It is not sufficient to just update the core. To do so run the updater script to bring you MiSTer to the latest Main and Linux version. DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! As soon as I read that waking up this morning, I was like "That has got to be it". I didn't realize I needed to update MiS...

Re: Help getting ao486 to run

My Mister came preassembled - and _should_ have Digital I/O board DE10-NANO w 128MB USB HUB Just in case I don't meet a hardware requirement for running ao486 that I've missed. I've gotten the NES, SNES, GB, GBA, TI-99/4A, Apple II cores all running. It is the ao486 one that is just refusing to do anything. When I first got it, the ao486 would just...

Re: Help getting ao486 to run

From here: http://dionysus.dk/software/DOS/ I tried to boot FreeDOS_Floppy.img by selecting Mount A: *.IMG I select "FreeDOS_Floppy.img" Boot Order: FDD/HDD Finally - "Reset and Apply HDD" Same error. :( 20200913_211846.jpg I'm concerned that the date reported is 02-16-2017, but the bios is 09-07-2020 I don't have a realtime clo...

Re: Help getting ao486 to run

@HMPoweredMan Thanks for the post! So that's what I find confusing. " You need to install DOS on the empty hard drive. https://winworldpc.com/download/c38fc38 ... 11c3a4c2ac Download the DOS 6.22 floppy images and put them where you have your vhd. Mount the first floppy. " I've done exactly this, and when I mount the first disk1.img, and ...

Re: Help getting ao486 to run

So I found this, which has a link to a boot disk - but I get the same behavior from ao486 when I try to mount and restart the HDD - failed to find a boot disk. I'm confused because it seems like I should just need to load this image to get to a C prompt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrB4eukTqIQ I also found this: https://archive.org/details/petop...

Re: Help getting ao486 to run

Okay - so I need to figure out how to acquire/make a startup disk. I thought the DOS img files would already be this way. I remember you needing to format the DOS disks to be bootable, and all the OS Install disks (at least the first one), were formatted in this way, so you just pop it in, reboot, and start installing. Okay - off to figure out how ...

Help getting ao486 to run

Okay, I'm a 4 day old with MiSTer, so apologies. My end goal is to get this running: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1156&sid=f703591707ddf99c11d154ede79d0f5c However, right now I can't even get ao486 to even put me at a DOS prompt. I just pulled the latest ao486 today from here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_MiSTer As t...

Re: Arcade Controller

Okay - I'm a noob - I went in and was able to define the button mappings. Everything else i had just worked, so this was the first one that hit me like this. Appears to be working now.

Re: Arcade Controller

So I just got my MiSTer Box set up last night, and I realized I had some old XBox360 USB fight sticks lying around - one from Street Fighter IV collector's edition, and a Hori Fight Stick Ex2 that I bought for the second player. Both USB. The Street Fighter IV stick works fine. The Hori one doesn't do anything - is there a guide or any tricks I sho...
