MiSTer FPGA Forum

Maybe it will come someday, someone apparently sent Jotego a Cadash board. He's got a lot of cores he wants to do though.

In the meantime, the PCE/TG16 version is pretty good.

All you need to do is connect 1 wire, it's easily reversible. And new paddle controllers (the 2600+ ones) are still being made today, so it's easy to get an extra set if one doesn't want to keep reversing the mod.

Sorgelig made a fork of Daemonbite that supports spinners and paddles: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Retro-C ... rollersUSB

At least Pole Position 1 & 2 are on the Namco Museum discs for PS1. Haven't fired them recently but I used to have a lot of fun playing them with a NeGcon

I'm usually willing to accept less accuracy in return for smoother framerates and less slowdown. The latter is why the SA-1 and FastROM hacks for SNES games are so popular.

Not sure what board my VGA one uses, but it doesn't seem to have a backlight control either, just general brightness/contrast controls.

Maybe try contacting Laserbear and see if he can give you any advice.

Also maybe try a different PSU if you can, the 12V one that came with mine is possibly the lightest one I've ever had...

Huh, that sucks. Have you tried contacting the seller? I know that can be hit or miss, but they might be able to help if you show them pics or a video, maybe they'll give you a refund. If not, you could maybe try installing a different board.

I believe you would indeed need one, I don't see one already on the board, and Saturn controllers use 5V.

There's also the Retro Fighters controller, plus adapters from BlueRetro and Brook.

Ah, haven't tried this out yet, but the blog seems to indicate better MIDI compatibility, so great news if that's the case.

Yeah, I believe that's correct. Looks like the descriptions on misterfpga.co.uk also say not to use a level shifter for those systems' adapters.

Yeah, most consoles' controllers ran off of 5v. N64 and PS1 use 3.3v though, so you wouldn't need it for SNAC adapters for those systems.

My Genesis version works fine via SNAC, but it needs a level shifter. How is yours connected? Yours looks the UK version, I assume that one also uses membranes for the stick instead of microswitches, so the membranes might need cleaning. But if it works fine in some cores but not others, I'm guessing it's a problem with how it's connected.

I remember finding a link in the description of an X68000 YouTube video, I forget what one exactly. Might've been a general X68K video and not one related to MiSTer.

Thank you, that does indeed seem to fix the issue on my Mitsubishi PC CRT!
Can also check my consumer Trinitron (Direct Video > active composite/S-Video adapter) later this week if needed.

It has a MSRP of 80,000 yen though ($536 USD at current exchange rate), so one could probably buy several HDFury3's for that price.

It also doesn't work for HDCP sources (not that you would need it for MiSTer, but it's nice for systems like PS3).

DigiKey and Mouser also have free shipping for overseas orders over $50, IIRC. Not ideal if you only need 1 PSU, but still pretty nice.

Ah OK, that makes sense considering they're a bit more expensive than other SNAC adapters on Aliexpress.

RetroCastle does sell SNAC adapters, but I don't see the level shifter.

I assume their PS1 SNAC would be safe to use without it though, since PS1 controllers use 3.3v.

Looks pretty good, will be interested to see how it performs. I don't really want the buttons or a cheap box to use as a case but I guess just the stick + encoder would be around $80 anyway.

Try placing a BIOS file in each individual game's folder for ones from different regions.
