Try with a recent MiSTer unstable binary overwriting the default one in /media/fat and power cycle the system. https://github.com/MiSTer-unstable-nightlies/Main_MiSTer/releases/tag/unstable-builds Also make sure your db is updated recently, /media/fat/games/N64/N64-database.txt , if not you can grab the latest from https://raw.githubusercontent.co...

Bought 2 used N64 controllers for $8 each, connected with a Raphnet 2P adapter. Also picked up a Rumble Pak for $3, works fine with the Raphnet. Hi, could you please tell me if you can do the slow Mario 64 walking with the original N64 controller? Mine is almost boolean, you touch it gently and it runs at 1000 mph EDIT: nevermind, it works :) I us...

V3.0 RAM makes sound work, I think that this tip should be added to the github https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Saturn_MiSTer

Thank you Kuba!

Hi, is there a way for Saturn Core to be full screen on non-16/9 screen? I have a LG Dual Up 2880x2560 (16:18 ratio), with v-scale set a 0 it works with all cores as long as I put full screen/stretch. However, it's not working only in Saturn core, anyone found a work around? Thank you. Fastest way? an scaler like the gbs control or a cheap extron

Ikefix

Thank you for the long answer, good luck to all of us...

Can someone please tell me how I change from CD1 to CD2 with the Saturn? Thanks From discord, (lots of info there) Gotta keep both disc files in the same directory So all .cue and .bins can't be separated by folders? Yes. They must be separated by their own folders. Except for multi disc games I was in discord and the info I got from there (incl. ...

GoldenEye boots much more smoothly now! It doesn't go in-game for me, but between that and PD getting in-game, that's some impressive progress. I thought it was just me... I cannot run anything other than mario and mario kart, not even zelda or yoshy's story, I have the database text in roms folder and on in the core menu, but no luck... I think I...

Hi there, first of all I have read the spreadsheet, I have the last core release and I do know that the saturn core is not stable yet, but, is it normal that I do not have sfx (or not systematically) and/or music on titles like Clockwork Knight or Earthworm Jim 2 ? I swear I remember have listened to the EJ2 music but it does not appear on my syste...

After sorting out the N64 bioses, I am trying to setup the Saturn by sorting out its bioses and boy oh boy.

Same situation here XD

Finally I had 480p + Scanlines (with GBSc, impossible with Mister scanline doubler option) from 240p input
and 480p + Scanlines +HQ2x filter at the same time

Voilà, finally 240p (320x240@60) on a 4K tv, not pixelated image at all, somewhat blurry (better effect than expected [to me]), ratio is applied correctly (ignore third image) scanlines does not apply correctly via Mister Fpga (as you can see in the third image), no lag, no artifacts afaik, no ghosting. Not tested with gbs-c, a more interesting app...

Ikefix

How are you going to show scanlines on flat panel without something near at least 480p as your final output? Bare minimum is you need 2x the pixels in height to show anything like that at all! If you want to use the GBS to manage your scanlines/upscaling instead of mister, you can just take the VGA analog out (or maybe direct_video) 240p into the ...

Some extra low res. For 4k tvs, if anybody wants to test (probably not xD )

Does this actually scale better than say 1080p/1440p? This seems like madness :p I would probably try forced_scandoubler=1 if you wanted something close to the original resolution that was more widely HDMI compatible. Thanks for your post, I do not want to scandouble the output with the Mister, as I'm trying to avoid 480p by any means, and, anyway...

Ikefix

Soooo well, it is difficult to achieve the low res image I need to have the "old tv filter" I want, I had a difficult time (pun intended) calculating the pixel clocks for this tv model to show under 480p res. but at least I have this, in combination with my gbs-c I think I'm done, Thanks anyway 😊 20230813-113349.jpg Apparently my LG does ...

Hello! Context: LG 4k tv Kind of fallback res while pure 240p (640x240) input (Menu core) 20230810-213815.jpg When standard core (244p?) is loaded it goes out of sync Question: can I force exact 240p per core or 731x254 resolution per core to keep the native LG 4k TV (?) low resolution? I forgot to mention: per core vsync_adjust=0 does not change t...

For posterity: It was indeed the missing SDRAM that caused the issue; I ordered it and then everything started working so great that I forgot to follow up here! Thanks for the input, gang. I'm happy for you. My solution was way different. I already had the sdram I remapped the joystick with a xbox controller because I was getting nothing with me p...

Thanks×∞ Roel27 This is my final setup: mha7ewsih7e71.jpg Tips: A. You need to power the hdmi to vga converter A.1 You may need some extra Amps for that (not may case), so the Jetson Nano PSU could be nice, or anything with a Jack ED 5.5mm ID 2.1mm, 5v, 3,4,5 amps should work B. You do NOT need full sync (CSYNC), just HSYNC is enough, after that se...

Ikefix

The reason could also be your HDMI to VGA convertor. I have 4 of these and only one works. What is your exact setup? This is my setup: HDMI to VGA converter > VGA to Scart cable > Scart Adapter Breakout cable to BNC > Sony BVM Could you please share some details of the stuff? And your init file? I've searched for hours this solution!!! Front-page ...
