MiSTer FPGA Forum

Yeah, Spectrum Next games are basically just SD cards so all you do is copy the data over to your MiSTer.

Here are my thoughts on the announcement:

You might have dodgy versions of those games. Match Day 2 was definitely 128k compatible as I had it on my grey +2 and it even has AY sound.

Well I’ve figured out my previous problem (the start button was calling up the MiSTer menu) but now up & down have stopped working on the analog stick.

Guys, I’ve got a fairly cheap N64 USB controller which works fine apart from the Start button which despite defining in the core, it brings up the MiSTer menu each time I press it as if I’m pressing F12 on my keyboard. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Guys, I’m having trouble getting this working.

I was using the Top 300 VHD games before and I think that’s what’s stopping this from working. I’ve not used this core in ages though.

@Swainy What was wrong with it? Sounds fine to me (and certainly easy enough to check for yourself!)

Just checked it again, I’m not getting music ingame. That’s with the latest build.

Have you tried deleting the N64.cfg? It has fixed issues for other people.

I’ll give it a try tonight

Did the ingame music in Goldeneye ever get fixed?

Only as backorder. Can be years before release. Do not need a physical copy, digital download prefered.

Try contacting the author. It’s in his interest to sell the game digitally, I’m sure that if you ask him he can arrange something: https://d-logames.es/contact/

This would be great! Where did you read this?

On the Spectrum Next Facebook group. I own a KS1 Next and I know the guy who is doing the graphics for the game. Trust me, it will be available for both versions.

Yeah Head Over Heels will be released for KS1 users but you will have to buy it either in digital forum or physical.

A lot of the games can be found on itch.io

I wouldn’t call it pointless. I quite like a few of the Next games.

I found that un-mounting the hard drive images gives better results when loading discs.

Well mine arrived this week. Just put it together, it’s working fine on a PC but I can’t get the rotary motion working on the MiSTer when testing Midnight Resistance.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m really not sure why I can’t get it to load. I ran Memtest last night for a few hours, no errors on my SDRAM. I’ve tried downloading multiple images of the game. Tried all the settings that you guys have recommended. I might have to download a new set of TOS images.

Have you tried using a disk image from elsewhere?

Yeah, I’ve tried various sources. Even tried a compilation version that had Warlocks Quest with it (that version got as far as the loading screen).

Works fine for me. At least i could load and play Level 1 a bit. I used this TOSEC disk image (st format)

Rolling Thunder (1986)(U.S. Gold)

TOS=1.02, 1MB RAM.

Strange. Still no joy for me. What chipset have you got it set to?

I know that the ST version of Rolling Thunder is a bit crap (it’s a Tiertex conversion after all ) but I’d like to play it again for a bit of research. Anyway, it’s not on my hard drive image and the disk version bombs out. Has anyone else managed to get this to load? Cheers.

I think that the problem might be something to do with the KS2 models use a different FPGA board compared to the KS1 models and the Next firmware now detects what FPGA is being used.

Did any of you guys test this with the MiSTer?

I hope it works I just ordered two!

I’ve ordered one. Don’t think it will be arriving in the UK until late Jan/Feb.

I couldn’t get Roadblasters to take input for the pedal. It doesn’t give me the option to enter an input for them.

I think that Start & Fire are labelled back to front.
