MiSTer FPGA Forum

if we see anything, is that static ip on mister is unreliable, if you want to use any of the updater. first and foremost, its the dhcp server's job, which probably runs on your router, to handle ip assignment and lease. its definitely more reliable to handle it on server side, instead of client side[if you can. if you cant, you dont have a choice. ...

It may not always be possible. sure, it is easier using the MAC address to do it but I doubt it is more reliable. why wouldnt it be reliable? if you dont change router configuration, it will be reliable. i also have a raspberry pi, where i clean upgrade the system relatively often, so its actually lot more comfortable to set it up on router, where...

Hi there, Quick question if I may. I had a static IP address configured, I updated to the latest MiSTer distro and now all my custom configs are gone. Is there a way to make them persist after upgrades? Thanks! while OP cant, why not set up static lease on your router instead? if you can, i'd imagine it's the easier and more reliable solution in t...

you might have to go down the audiophile rabbit hole but its worth it. get yourself a toslink splitter and get yourself speakers with toslink input and dac/amp unit for headphones that also has headphone input. for headphones, FX-AUDIO D01 would be a solid choice. for speakers, edifier makes speakers with toslink input but there might be other choi...

From a mac/linux launch a terminal and type "ssh root@192.168.x.x". if you are using a relatively modern built of windows 10 or newer, you can do this from command prompt, without the need for putty or other ssh client. as far security improvements, does mister support access with private key on ssh? that would raise it again, as now you...

That depends, whether you set up port forwarding on your router and whether your ISP would even allow it. As far MiSTer or DE-10 nano is concerned, no. It makes no attempts on it's own, like UPnP port forwarding, for it to have FTP, SSH, etc., reachable outside of LAN

Thank you! Just tried it and it seems to work great, as in it mounts all directories and the update script is running and hitting my server. I'm just waiting for OTG cable so I'm able to connect my keyboard so SSH will do for now, can't wait to get the keyboard and some controllers connected :) glad to hear its working for you nicely! if you are g...

If you want use your NAS with your MiSTer as much as you can, you can use the following template on your NAS. If you don't have it already, you will also need to get cifs_mount.sh (also cifs_unmount.sh) and edit it accordingly, based on your needs and circumstances. I recommend having a dedicated user for MiSTer to access share on your NAS. Followi...

Gameboy 2P ultrawide based on thread viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2920
same video mode used as before 7x scaling at 2240x1008

Core attached





Once again, big thank you to FPGAzumSpass and Grabulosaure

Hope you'll be able to load 2 different games that are capable. Also feature to load a gamesave for each of the games would be cool for the times when your playing the same version game and want to use 2 different saves.. For Pokemon for example.blue vs red/yellow. other games come to mind. But good core.Good idea. when you are trading or battling...

Make sure that the critical warning is not failed timing, otherwise you are overclocking the core and may introduce bugs or even the loss of sync. The GBA2P core often has timing failure due to being so full. After you built the core it should look like the left side, not like the right side. If you have failed timing, you can go assignment -> set...

if someone feels adventurous, here is the compiled core with aforementioned modifications. dont forget to modify the video_mode in ini as well

remove the + at start of line 654 thank you! now it has compiled with no error, just one critical warning and bunch of non-critical warnings, but it did compile. took the new compiled core and its a hell of a bigger improvement. osd is stretched but at this point, im happy if its only stretched and not distorted. im surprised to see it scale edge ...

You need to recompile the core with .OHRES(4096) for ascal in sys/sys_top.v : + .OHRES(4096), .N_DW(128), .N_AW(28) ) ascal without having any prior experience, i got quartus prime 17.0.2 lite, forked GBA2P repo, loaded GBA.qpf, edited sys_top.v adding said modification but im geting this error Error (10170): Verilog HDL syntax error at sys_top.v(...

Code: Select all

video_mode=2560,168,272,440,1080,1,3,34,230760

Tried it but didn't work out as expected I assume this is due to the limits of FPGA?

Since we now have a core for GBA2P, with horizontal splitscreen support, adding a support for 21:9 ultrawide resolution as 2560x1080 would be really nice for this mode. Resolution of 2 GBA at horizontal splitscreen with 5x scaling would be 2400x800. Can we then get support for at least 2560x1080@60? It's less than the current maximum supported reso...

FX-Audio DAC-X6 and Divltpoetry TUBE-6J1 cost around 30€ each on Aliexpress. Unbeatable quality for the price. There are also 6J1 preamp kits from ~7€, but they require a 12V AC power supply. "Unbeatable quality for the price" is a strange choice of words in this case. avoid really cheap audio gear, its often barely better than whatever ...

the point of preamp in a mister setup is exactly for something like active speakers, where you set their amp and never touch them again. thats why preamps exist, to make volume control more comfortable and practical. however, if you want a preamp for mister and dont have a dac yet, look for a dac with volume attenuator[probably with volume control]...

if you intend to use active speakers, with built-in volume control, just use line out from io board, max out the volume on mister and control it with the volume control of your active speakers. passive speakers need speaker amp, so you will control it[probably] at the amp. with headphones, get something like geshelli enog and archel , or a dac/amp ...

do you have an IO board with headphone jack? if not, get yourself something like SMSL SH-1 or Lindy HDMI Audio Extractor and then get an appropriate speaker amp for your speakers

its RF only, thats why all this

-I assume you mean OVF, since other option is AUTO I mean the SOG switch on the IO board, if you are using an official IO board that is. Yea, the IO board has AUTO and OVR switch positions for SOG. https://t.co/8OjWffIErX neat! wouldnt md2rf adapter be needed only if you have also cable tv or antena tv signal? or does it server different purpose?

It could be a multitude of issues I'm afraid. I will say this though: Power over VGA needs to be on SOG needs to be off Composite sync needs to be on All scalers need to be off -you mean VGA pin set to 5V? i had that the entire time -I assume you mean OVF, since other option is AUTO -Composite sync in ini is on -VGA scaler is off, only other scale...

I first want to try get the current setup working, before I 'have to' spend more money. Strangely, when in mister menu, I can get it to display the menu itself but very faintly. that was best image I could get it to output

I've tried to get mister working with an old RF only TV. Using I/O board 6.0, SOC auto, jumper on 5V, together with VGA to Composite from Antonio Villlena [set to pal] https://www.antoniovillena.es/store/product/vga-composite-s-video-adapter/ and mini AV to RF from unknown brand [set to 67.25MHz] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Female-Video-Adap...

@Crystal : Harman Kardon AVR161. Well, I thought it was more relevant to use my amplifier's built-in DAC... I don't know if there is an extra conversion analog to digital conversion if you use it with an analog source, which would mean 2 extra conversion with an external DAC. Oh well :-) My point is thats it's common to have an amplifier that cuts...

@mahen: if you use optical or hdmi output, you need a dac. your amp is probable a dac/amp, not amp. you need a different dac. you can change the whole dac/amp, or if it support analogue inputs[rca or xrl probably] then you just need a different[proper] dac. before going in circles, what is this 'amplifier' model?

but this is the issue with your dac, not the mister project. they should provide you with mode thats always on. or get a separate dac for mister, like geshelli enog 2 pro

this is what I use with mister, Lindy HDMI extractor since after mega sg uses another smsl hdmi extractor for toslink, lindy hdmi extractor also offers coaxial spdif output. if you had i2s input on your dac, another option would be to get an io board with i2s pins and creating a custom cable to hook it up.
