While setting up a hard disk image and running games from it using WHDload is very handy, I would say if you have never used and Amiga and just want to try out some of the games using floppy disk images is the easiest way to play. If you are at the "insert floppy" boot screen, all you need to do is open the Mister menu and load an .adf fi...

While it can not replicate the adaptive blend feature, using a blurry horizontal video filter seems to achieve a similar effect.
To my eyes the GS interpolation set to around 20-30 looks similar to the composite blend filter.
I'm not sure what the differences are on a technical level though.

This looks fantastic. How well does the screen handle non 60hz screen modes (50hz PAL, 70hz for ao486)?

So the CH and BW probably represent the type of filter being used. In these examples, CH most likely stands for Chebyshev and BW for Butterworth filter. The numbers, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc... refer to the order of the filter. Usually this is how aggressive the filter is. So for example LPF 20Khz 1st order butterworth and LPF 20Khz 3rd order butterworth...

There is also a version for the Sharp X68000. I haven't played it much past the first stage, but it does seem to run nearly the same speed as the arcade.

You'd probably have to dig through the MiST section over on the Atari Forums to find an exact date. I know part of the impetus for Sorg developing the Mister was the lack of a good, affordable scaler to use with the Mist. The last post to the Mist scaler thread was from Sorg himself Feb. 15 2018. That's not a definite indication of when work began ...

Please try to remain civil. There is no need to be rude.

If you are only scaling up to something like 480p you might be better served by just using the scandoubler instead of the full scaler.
Not sure how it handles interlaced content though.

Just to add a bit of a visual example, this is a video comparing a CRT to an LCD in slow motion. It gives a really good sense of how fast a CRT scans out.

I myself never actually used my Mister on a CRT, though I did use the original Mist with one for a long time. I also had a dedicated Genesis arcade cab setup for a long time and noticed the effect with real hardware on both consumer CRTs and PVM that I put in there at one point. It was interesting to play some of the vertical shooters on Genesis th...

Thanks Aberu for taking the time to record that. I was wondering if it was a function of the screen or of my eyes. I personally always saw the black lines disappear even on CRT's. To my eyes it didn't so much look like they completely disappeared, but more that it took on the appearance of 480i content. I even remember the first time I noticed it w...

IMGBurn may let you convert it. If not, you could mount the ISO with something like WinCDEmu and then rip it to bin/cue with IMGBurn.

I believe it may be related to the addition of supporting multi-track games. In my case I was having an issue with my rip of Ridge Racer that had a .cue file and a single .bin file, it would not load. Tried a rip that was a single .cue with multiple .bin files (one for each audio track) and it loads a plays fine. There is an option in the debug men...

So this may not be the perfect solution, but I've had good results. I just use multiples of the generic PAL or NTSC resolutions of 720x576 and 640x480 respectively and using vscale_mode=1. So in your case, your monitor maxes out at 1280x1024 at 60Hz, so it might be able to swing 1440x1152 at 50Hz. If not, you could do 1152x864 which would give you ...

Look under System:Prefs, you should have Picasso96Mode.
That will let you define new screen modes.

If you have gamma correction enabled, try disabling it. I had some similar issues with it enabled.

I had a number of Sony L5 PVMs. I was never able to get a good picture when sending it a 640x480 signal. It would result in a dark, off center image. 720x480 seemed to work fine though.
Can't quite tell from your pictures if that's the issue you are having.
That was all using a PC though. I got rid of them long before I got a Mister.

Enthropy is correct. It's not really until you get to VESA modes that refresh rates are typically user configurable. You didn't always have to use UniVBE though as some graphics cards manufacturers provided their own utilities for such. Not sure what would be compatible with Mister, or if it even would support different refresh rates. No matter wha...

Do you have refresh_max= set in your mister.ini perhaps?

It won't work on a 15khz CRT yet. Maybe in the future. But if I try with this video mode: video_mode=320,8,32,24,240,4,3,16,6048 I can get decent graphics in a CRT. Then is not possible to improve it? One problem might be that some games use a 256 line video mode. This page has video modes listed for some games. https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id...

I think even if you had a fixed frequency card in Mister you would run in to compatibility issues with DOS software. If the card is not VGA,EGA,CGA (or whatever the particular game or application expects) then it most likely just wont run. I think the current implementation of forcing 60hz instead of a variable refresh rate in the core settings is ...

I once had a TV out card for MS-DOS computers. It had a TSR program that would force all 200/400 line 70hz screen modes to be output as 240/480 line 60hz screen modes. My experience was that it had pretty low compatibility with games, not to mention everything became squished. The program did not, however, convert the signal to interlaced. The ISA ...

I would add two for the Genesis:
Trouble Shooter/Battle Mania and its Japan only sequel Battle Mania Daiginjō.
The mechanics are similar to Hyperdyne Sidearms, which is also excellent, both the PC Engine port and arcade original.

See, now why did you have to post that C64 case? I'm already broke as it is....

Your telling me there were games released back then which ran at like 9 frames per second, so long as they met the minimum system requirement that was acceptable? Yes, that is how it was. Was it acceptable? Not really, but that's just how it was. I guess things have changed for the better in that regard. But you also have to put it in to context o...

The game runs as expected. It requires a much more powerful CPU than what the ao486 core has. You have to remember back in the day just meeting the minimum system requirements didn't guarantee the game would run at what we now consider "playable" frame rates. The Mister core falls below even the minimum requirements for this game.

With the exception of the SNES specific one the rest are pretty generic. If you open the filter files there are more details about the filters. For example Arcade LPF 2khz 1st has a description: "LPF 2khz 1st Order combined with 2nd order at 20khz". I myself don't have enough knowledge about filters to be able to explain what that means, ...

Audio Filters are already a feature: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Filters ... ters_Audio
You can set it in the menu as well as globally for all cores in the ini, e.g."afilter_default=LPF2000_3tap.txt

There is an existing solution for Jogcon found here: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=148

Edit: I should clarify. The first post discusses how to mod the controller. A few posts down is an adapter.

I think of the standard(ish) gamepads for the PS1 and Saturn, only the 3D Saturn controller has no modern equivalent. I say that solely based on the fact that it has 6 face buttons. I guess an original Xbox controller would be the closest since it had those weirdly offset white and black face buttons.
