MiSTer FPGA Forum

Oh, nice! Yeah I'm totally fine waiting. I saw references to a new version coming out at some point but nothing concrete. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this by the way!

Hi all. I'm having trouble figuring out how to copy over games to the MegaAGS drive. Specifically, I am trying to update the latest distribution with MT32-Pi support as per this post https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=2529 . I've successfully gotten the MT32 versions onto the "Amiga" via the shared folder and I'm trying to figure out ...

Okay for anyone with the same question I can confirm that while using a manual USB 3.0 splitter works with the BlisSTer board LLAPI capabilities (and presumably other add-ons that can be used with the MiSTer port), it sadly does not work with the MT32-Pi due to the cable length issue Milspex mentioned above. That said the MT32-Pi is still awesome a...

Hey guys. Has anyone been able to get Sam and Max Hit the Road working with Midi? I have an MT32-Pi that works with everything else, but not with this game. The options are present when launching, but don't seem to kick in properly. After searching around it looks like a couple people highlighted this issue a while ago but no one ever followed up w...

Thanks for the thorough reply! It looks like a failed updated did something to the VHDs and left them in this state. I didn't catch it because they launched fine in the AO486 core and i could get to games and stuff. I still had the original VHD files on my computer so after copying them over to the external HD I use for the MiSTer and running the u...

Hi all, First of all, huge thanks to Flynn and the creators of the AO486 core for all the hard work they put in - I've had a blast dicking around with all the game and settings and getting everything to work. The problem I'm running into now is that I can't seem to get the update script to work - it appears to run properly and then at the end I get...

>btw, the blisSTer is not considered an 'official' addon, so maybe you want to move your post to "Hardware Setups" instead.

Whoops, my bad, Thanks for the reply though! Yeah, a year lead time is a bit much for me - I'll see if I can get it replaced.

Hi all, The power input on my BlisSter board burned out yesterday and I'm not really sure what caused it. I've already reached out to the reseller I got it from, but I'm curious if someone can help identify the component that burned out so I can replace it myself if they won't give me a replacement board. Pics of the underside of the power-in plug:...

Awesome - I played around with it and understand how it works now. Thanks again for the explanation! I wouldn't be using the llapi capabilities of the BlisSter for any cores that work with the MT32-Pi anyway, and the way my setup is laid out it would be simple to re-plug whichever one of them I'm using when I go to turn MiSTer on, so I think I'm go...

Thanks for the detailed reply! To be honest I've never been clear on how llapi plays into using the BlisSTer board. My understanding is that there was/is a separate branch of llapi cores, but I've always just used the primary cores and have never run into any issues using bliss adapters with OEM controllers. Not sure if that means regular cores hav...

Hi all,
I'm looking into adding an MT32-PI to my MiSTer setup. From watching setup tutorials online, it looks like the MT32-Pi Hat plugs into the user port on the I/O board, but in my setup that port is already used by the BlisSTer board. Is there a way to have both connected at once?

Thanks!

Okay, for anyone that runs into the same problem I can confirm that updating BlisSTer fixes it. The new Linux update definitely breaks the base USB hub functionality and not just the LLAPI ports. I did end up having to SSH into the MiSTer and run the script manually with help from a user on the Discord channel, but everything is now resolved. Thank...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've already ordered the new PSU which should hopefully be here at some point next week. In the meantime, it sounds like the BlisSTer firmware update is what is actually causing the issue. The updater script isn't doing anything for me even after re-downloading it from github - it just exits back out to the script ...

I'm running into a very frustrating issue with my MiSTer and I'm hoping that someone can confirm that the issue is what I think it is, and that I did not accidentally damage something. I bought a fully loaded pre-configured MiSTer setup a while a while ago and later added a BlisSTer board to it. I don't recall where I got the PSU for it, but it is ...

Thanks again for the feedback everyone. I've had this thing for about a week now and I'm loving it. Currently working on getting full sets for everything.

I recently got PCE and Genesis SNAC adapters for my new MiSTer so I can use original controllers for Sega CD and TurboGrafx CD games. I have a USB3 extension cord that I was planning to use to go from the SNAC port on the IO board of the MiSTer to the SNAC adapter and controller since the original controller cords are so short. The Genesis controll...

Oh my god I am a fucking idiot. I bought a "pre-configured" MiSTer bundle off of the MiSTer Addons website and didn't realize it came with a fully loaded SD card already installed in one of the SD slots. So basically what happened was that I flashed my 512GB SD card with Mr. Fusion, inserted it into the second SD slot on the IO board, and...

Thanks for the feedback and for confirming what a proper install is supposed to look like! I actually used this card before with PSIO (PS1 Flashcart) so I know it is a genuine SD card. Before attempting the MiSTer setup i did actually do an Overwrite Format (which did indeed take forever) to make sure I have a clean install. I've heard of other pro...

Hi all, I recently got a MiSTer and I already love this thing. Unfortunately I'm running into a bunch of issues getting started. Either I'm missing something obvious, or there is some kind of incompatibility with the SD card I am using. Setup - Fully assembled Mister - (DE 10-Nano, 128mb ram, IO board, usb hub) - 512GB Samsung EVO Select Micro SD c...

Thanks for the quick responses guys! That's kind of what I expected re: the ao486 core and I'm fine with that. Any insight into how well the Amiga and Commodore 64 cores work? Those are actually the ones I'm more interested in.

Hi everyone. I'm considering buying a MiSTer FPGA pretty much exclusively for the classic computer core support. Specifically I am interested in the Commodore 64, Amiga, MSX, Sharp X68000, and DOS. I can't seem to find any sort of concrete answer with regards to the compatibility percentages for these cores. I understand that the ao486 core for DOS...
