If you have anything connected to USER IO Port, try disconnecting it.

Breakout:
- Add TV compatible VSYNC option.

To input colon (:),
Right shift + semi colon (;) key worked.
Left shift + semi colon (;) key didn't work.
I am using US keyboard.

Audio format is PCM. So it does not matter. By the way, what core are you using? Is the issue present in every cores? Copy protection bit was unintentionally asserted until recently. It prevented some device from capturing optical audio signal. @S0urceror fixed framework in January but not all the cores are updated to the fixed framework. https://m...

There is a lag between when a core is loaded and when the initial volume command is sent to the core. So if a core emits sound in the very initial period, it cannot be attenuated or muted by volume setting. I think that's why the beep sound doesn't respect volume setting. I don't know whether the initial beep in arcade cores also occurs in real har...

I am very perplexed about all that. I had my MISTer for more than 2 years and I made many different SD cards. In every case I could FTP and SSH into MISTer right out of the box, I never had to enable FTP and SSH. What is going on?: I've never had to enable FTP and SSH, too. Btw, I bought bare DE10-Nano from Digi-Key and created SD card using Mr. F...

Hi,

What exactly is your board and what board is selected in Tools -> Board menu?
If a board with USB HID capability(e.g. SparkFun Pro Micro) is selected, you should not get that error.

There is an element of randomness required during the fitting operation, which could provide varied results. Of course the fitting operation requires randomness, but I don't think it's completely random. It is pseudo random. If we have exactly the same sources, the same Quartus, the same settings, and the same seed value, we should get the same re...

Previously I compiled some cores which worked but never paid attention to the size. This time I wanted to be more meticulous and noticed the difference. The core seems to work properly so I was not really worried, just curious. And yes I am using the Lite version. I'm curious, too. As @dshadoff saying, there will be no problem in functionality as ...

Here is the rbf I tested with
Note: before trying it, please "Define mpatrol buttons" again if you have done it before.

I don't get the purpose, too.
Without FPGA and HPS-FPGA bridge on SoC, what can Main_MiSTer do?

About translating the cores, well, some time ago most arcade cores moved to the MRA file format so at least we have the DIP switches and button names in that file, which is plain text. When it comes to handling MRA files, we need to make changes in support/arcade/mra_loader.cpp where there are a lot of string manipulations. Low-level C/C++ is not ...

I tried and succeeded in displaying Japanese filenames by quick and dirty tweaks. But I gave it up to complete, although it was an interesting challenge :) It is not perfect and universal. There're issues left that I'm not capable to solve :( Please don't expect further work... IMG_0141.jpeg How I did it? Filenames given from Linux were UTF8 in my ...

Filenames: It would be nice to support displaying cjk characters in filenames. I have Japanese named snes roms which I dumped from my real carts collection and wish I could use them without converting them to roman characters. I know it requires tons of work even without support for localization resources. Just dreaming... Menu items: Ideally it w...

Are you simply looking to see if any issues are noted? Yes. Before opening a PR on GitHub, I want to make sure that the issues have been solved, not only on my device, but on some other devices, especially the one that was having the issues. The instability varied from device to device. Technically, it also varies with each build. I tried to fix i...

@Hackshed_Carl
I'm afraid that it is not likely, I think.

I found out the core contains designs which can cause instability.
Not only the reset issue, but various types of random glitches are reported.
I also experienced:
- Reset
- Corrupted sprites
- Cannot proceed to the next stage even though defeated all the enemies

I uploaded Mario Bros build with improved stability on this thread.
I'd be happy if anyone facing random issues could test it

I'm trying to resolve the instability of the core.
Could anyone facing random issues test attached build?

I saw this post and added paddle controller support for SMS.
USB spinner and mouse will be available in the next release.

@wark91
I'm thinking Gran Trak 10 would be interesting.
But I am not sure if I can reproduce it on FPGA since gear and speed control part heavily rely on analog circuitry.

@Alkadian
Thanks for playing again!

@wark91 I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it

Space Race:
- New arcade core.

Breakout:
- Update the framework.

I confirmed I can open and build the latest master branch with 17.0.2 Lite Edition build 602.

Would suggest to execute clean.bat or re-clone the repository.
Something might be messed up.

Btw Pro Edition does not support Cyclone V.

Since I started using MiSTer last December, my MiSTer has been a bare DE10-Nano with just heatsink and SDRAM board.
Now I got beautiful clear acrylic case, IO board v6.1 with Noctua fan and USB Hub v2.1 from misterfpga.co.uk

Not to get this issue being buried, I got MiSTer IO board and ES9038Q2M DAC board.

I confirmed no sound with the latest spdif output to ES9038Q2M.
And the fix I mentioned above worked.

Opened PR...
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Template_MiSTer/pull/26

I think the centralized framework code is managed on Template core.
Each core uses copy of sys directory in Template core and merges updates in Template core.

I'm not sure why it doesn't form like git submodule.
I guess it gets a bit more complicated
Anyway I also joined recently so don't know about the historical context.

Hello,
Configuration value of the options defined in CONF_STR will be passed to status bits.
The value is changed via OSD menu.
What each bit means depends on the definition of CONF_STR for each core.

@S0urceror I don't have IO board but I noticed that I can capture spdif bitstream from GPIO pin using logic analyzer :) Please check attached capture. C bit is being asserted on Frame #1 (Right ch) and Frame #2 (Left ch). It should be asserted on Frame #2 (Left ch and Right ch). I haven't looked deeply into the spdif logic, but the the generated si...

DAC IC (ESS ES9038Q2M) seems to be receiving toslink directly by itself not via receiver like AK4113, DIR9001, WM8804, CS8416 etc... Someone on the web is posting a reverse engineered schematics of similar board (not exactly the same one but using the same IC and looks similar in appearance) Schematics: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RG-DtX_1b20/XLCnbx...

S0urceror wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 6:44 am Did we also try just with the copy-bit? And leave the L-bit and sample-rate bit zero?

That case is not tested, but I think it is not meaningful to set bit 25 to zero since it is conflicting with actual sampling rate as you know.
At least for Atohmdiy's environment, sampling rate didn't appear to be causing the issue, IMHO.
