Re: Is it important to keep Linux up to date on MiSTer?

Yes. Not updating the kernel leaves you more vulnerable to exploits so that is bad for your system's security. That being said, the MiSTer is horribly insecure through its default configuration anyway, so you're likely not being that much worse off. Just treat it like any other gaming / media / IoT device and accept that your home network is most l...

Re: Ghost in the Shell

You could first try removing some of the USB peripherals. If you can, I would remove the HDD and connect the PS5 controller over bluetooth. If the system doesn't crash anymore, then maybe you are indeed facing power supply issues. If it does still crash, then there are no guarantees. You could also run the build in RAM test to see if it results in ...

Re: Screen Tearing on top of the Screen for Chippoke Ralph no Daibōken

This looks a lot like a bug in the LG C2 models, but the answers already answered probably apply in your case.

A 720p source on LG C2 models with "Boost" mode (lower input lag) enabled results in screen tearing at the top of the screen. It only happens when using 720p resolution.

Re: 0MHz DOS Collection 2024.03.20 Released

Excellent work! Booting games is just seamless this way. Although as someone with no DOS experience (real or MiSTer), I do have trouble with multi-disc games. For Red Alert it wants me to insert a disc with a specific title, but then the ISO files are just called disc 1, 2 etc. I can't tell which disc to select.

Re: Syncthing for MiSTer?

MiSTer runs a very stripped down version of Linux afaik. With some work you can probably install the correct program and dependencies and create a script to easily launch the desired sync operation.

Easiest way to get what you want is probably to setup a Samba share and mount your desired folders via the build-in script.

The problem with the Ninja is that the default VESA timings used by MiSTer are not supported.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but since this is most relevant google hit when searching for this problem, I'll share my solution here. You have to use a custom modeline that the Ninja will accept.

Strange Ghosting on LG C2 OLED

Hi all, My MiSTer is connected to a LG C2 OLED TV and I'm experiencing a very strange ghosting issue which I cannot seem to relate to any specific setting. Essentially, the display seems to mangle the order of frames, causing the display to shift between the latest frame, folled by a frame that seems to be from 5 or so frames ago. At 60Hz the resul...

Clipping in HDR space is normal, at least for consumer displays. Dolby Vision movies are mastered at something like 10000 nits, which is something no(?) consumumer display can show.

The new vscale modes effectively achieve the same thing. Meaning that a core is rendered at 6x to eg 1344 lines of vertical resolution. Your LG tv will upscale from there. You currently lose out on setting a custom aspect ratio that way though. Yet again, manually sourcing and setting all the mode lines is much more time consuming. I find that just...
