MiSTer FPGA Forum

This script results in a folder that takes up an unusually large amount of space. From a fresh install, the _Organized folder eats up 416 MB of space, which is more than double the space all the cores use up. I wrote up an issue about it here: https://github.com/MAME-GETTER/_arcade-organizer/issues/6 What is the state of play with this? The extra ...

Yup, you are certainly losing a lot of detail when you switch from HDMI which is a super good digital signal down to an analogue signal that is one of the lowest quality (composite video). Not really what I was asking. Using HDMI in this scenario looks hideous IMO. The beauty of CRT is that it softens/blends the image, but my question is really ab...

From a technical point of view, do I lose any picture quality using a HDMI to RCA converter? I really don't understand cables much. I'm using HDMI out, into this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N5KNFD1/ , and then a cheap RCA to SCART. My intuition says I must be losing something along the way. My next option would be to try the VGA to Scart cable ...

So, to summarise, and help for anyone else running into these issues: - FTP may be turned off by default, and needs to be turned on. Go to Scripts and choose ftp_on. - When selecting a console core you can get two outcomes: white screen or a game (with no choice for the latter). If white screen (Neo Geo in my case), select load roms. If the game st...

So the MiSTer arrived and I've tried it with two displays - my Plasma, and the Beovision MX4000 - and not surprisingly the picture looks so good on the CRT that I've decided to keep it. From a technical point of view, do I lose any picture quality using a HDMI to RCA converter? I really don't understand cables much. I'm using HDMI out, into this ht...

Maybe I set the controller up wrong. Or maybe just using it wrong. I use the A button on the buffalo SNES pad to select. So if I want to play forgotten worlds I choose arcade > unofficial > cps1 > forgotten worlds. This works fine. For every console, as soon as I choose a core, it loads a single game. So console > genesis loads Sonic 1. I have no ...

I will try that next week, but wasn’t expecting to have to faff around like this, was the whole reason I bought a ‘plug and play’ package. Hmm.

I have one question regarding your FTP problem: did the vendor send you some documentation indicating that FTP was off? If you plan to use SSH check if it is on. No one reported it as being off but who knows. There was nothing mentioned about FTP and no documentation at all. But it was indeed off, and as soon as I switched it on, I got in. Why I’m...

If you got a pre-built system check that the FTP server is running on MISTer as it seems that some vendors turn it off. They are Scripts to turn it on/off. Haha. Wow that was easy :lol: Now, the strangest thing. When I choose ant console, I just get a single game - no option to choose a game (and Neo Geo doesn't event load, just white screen). If ...

Falling at the first hurdle when trying to add ROMS. I connected the MiSTer to my router via ethernet (BT Smart Hub). I see the assigned IP address. Using this (plus username root and password 1) in my FTP client, and it just says 'could not connect to server. connection refused'. Tried switching off the Firewall, made no difference. What am I doin...

There's never going to be a holy grail per se, but a few notable ones I've heard of are basically like you said: 1. If a CRT, then most Sony PVM/BVM CRTs are your best bet for a "perfect" CRT image. 2. If a flat screen consumer TV in your living room, the LG C1/CX OLED is highly regarded among some people I've talked to and works with 19...

Hi all! First post - I've got an Ultimate MiSTer PRO BlisSter on the way, but before it arrives I've been thinking about display options. Would I be right in thinking there is no single Holy Grail combination of display and set up? I'll be mainly using this for Neo Geo, Arcade, MD, SNES and NES. I have a Beovision MX4000, but this would mean gettin...
