MiSTer FPGA Forum

A real "dummy user" wouldn't even know that MiSTer was the backend and therefore would never end here. I.e. a "Pandora's box" is something you can wire up in the corner of a room and everybody coming there will be able to play without even knowing what that system is. If you do the same with MiSTer right now, people will either ...

Sorry, if this has been discussed before (I could find only a few slightly related discussions but that probably doesn't mean a thing), but is there the slightest chance of implementing something like a "Carousel Core" that can be used for e.g. an arcade machine aimed at the dummy user who just want to select a game from a cool looking sc...

If you meant mine: actually the material is awesome. Bit more expensive than normal acrylic but it looks (and feels) just so much better.

Laser-cut case based on MiSTer Laser Case v1.0 by Mike Stimpson. Converted to DXF and changed/optimized for IO Board v6.1, USB Hub v2.1 and RTC Board v1.3 plus some other cosmetic changes. Archive with the DXF drawings and 3D model for the knobs can be found here . Material is 3mm "Acrylic GS" (double sided frosted Stone Grey [S2 9T21]). ...

It's already mentioned under "Known issues" on the main page for the core:

A few games (gunfighter) don't work at this time.

So I guess the developers are aware.

Just for the sake of completeness, I got both Al-Qadim and Blackthorne to run. For Al-Qadim, the GOG files actually did work after a proper sound setup. The "sinstall.exe" exe there claims that it found a Soundblaster Pro 2, so the trick is mainly to select the normal (basic) Soundblaster. For Blackthorne, I copied the files from the free...

Sorry, didn't want to sound negative. Actually it's a dream come true to be able to play some DOS classics on the MiSTer and this frontend creation approach is most certainly a great help. I was mainly surprised that the eXoDOS collection is such a mixed bag. Some games can be played directly, some need to be configured or even installed in a diffe...

Ah OK, thanks. Haven't messed around with Linux for at least a decade. As a side note: is there any specific reason NOT to use a localized keyboard. I actually though about getting a US QUERTY keyboard just for MiSTer since actually e.g. the C64 didn't have a German keyboard either. Then again, apart from the C64 and being a MiSTer default, I could...

With only a few games i tried, I ran at least into two which don't work due to password checks. Apart from Al-Qadim there is also Blackthorne which demands a password check for the setup and without setup, it doesn't seem to start. Besides, quite a few games don't actually run from their base folder as the frontend expects even after running the sc...

Quite a few games from eXoDOS seem to have their password checks still in. In some cases (Elite Plus) it was obviously deactivated, in others (Al Qadim) it seems to be still working. So, one of the first games I tried was Al Qadim and I couldn't get it to work due to the password check (returns to menu). I tried to copy over changed files from the ...

Is there any easy way to support other keyboard layouts like German QUERTZ? I guess I'd have to dig into the Linux image but wonder if there is an easier way.
