I’ve used one of those GRS trackballs before in an Arcade1Up that I modded. I wasn’t very impressed with it. The ball doesn’t roll very smoothly and there isn’t enough weight behind it to really get it spinning. Ok, I was a bit worried about that weight thing. Any experience on these? This should be "the real deal"? https://www.arcadexpr...

This seems to be a very good trackball for Mister (mainly for Marble madness). Would someone have a case suggestion for this fine piece of hw or other tips?

Thank you, that was it Now it works perfectly

Tried this wondeful looking entry in the MSXdev24 and unfortunately there's no sound, no matter what computer model I choose. At one point I heard a short clip of music, but then it disappeared just by itself and never came back. There seems to be somthing weird with the MSX-Audio part then 🤔 I have tried all the MSX1 core versions (those that have...

@emuola, Just tried your game and it works on my side. I'm using the core VIC20 from the 31th march of 2023 on a VGA LCD monitor, I can enter to the game and control the player between the cars with the (Z) and (/) keys. Just noticed that I had to set [Screen center] option to [None] otherwise the screen is flickering Thank you so much, it was the...

I'm trying to run this game typed from the legendary Finnish MikroBitti magazine. It works with a real VIC-20 of the fellow who had typed it and kindly sent me the files, but with the latest VIC-20 core my IPS Dell loses sync and says it cannot display the image. Other VIC-20 games I've tested work just fine. How could I get this working? What coul...

I would first have a thorough read of the wiki and specifically the configuration of MiSTer.ini and display specific video modes.

You should also check out atract17's repo here, there is a preconfigured .ini for 1280x1024 LCDs with integer scaling here.

Thank you so much, I hadn't found that repo before

emuola

As there are tons of things one can adjust, I'd need some advice how to get the best out of my display, namely Dell 19" 1280 x 1024 IPS. I've tried a lot of different filters and settings, but I'm kinda unsure if I completely missed something here :oops: Something I's need to change in the .ini? Filters and other processing settings to accompa...

We have a 284 page book detailing all Amstrad CRTCs : http://logon.system.free.fr/down/ACCC1.6-EN.pdf

I hope it can count for something

I'd also think so

change your model of spectrum to +3 go to loader then mount your disk game should load itself

That did it, thank you segamemister ❤

emuola

Sorry for being a complete idiot, but for the life of me, I cannot figure this out. I found official Spectrum 128k etc manuals online, but they claim the DSKs should "just start" after reset - but they won't.

Please help me out

have you tried this rom file ?
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/PCXT_Mi ... pcxt31.rom

Actually that does work. What the h*ll, I thought downloaded exactly that rom file already

Thank you soo much, desin24

emuola

Could someone please post a screenshot of their PCXT core System and BIOS settings?

emuola

I ran the Python scrips and the roms were generated. For some reason if I specify the pcxt_pcxt31.rom as the rom for IBM and choose Reset and apply, the core does nothing. With e.g. pcxt_micro8088.rom it does reset and then start. What could be wrong with my configuration?

emuola

Should something like this happen again you could always pull out the SD card, boot your computer from a Linux installation USB stick and use the live USB environment from that to do your edits in the SD card. Such sticks may have the purpose of installing an OS but that doesn't mean you have to, and their minimal environments are usually good eno...

emuola

Glad you solved it. I did not know that you had no way to connected to your MISTer, although I should have suspected it could have been a possibility. Instead of SSH you could have switched to the console by pressing F9 on the keyboard if you have one) and proceed from there. Hmm. Nothing happens, if I press F9 🤔 Is it something configurable in th...

Solved: Installed a simple DHCP server foe Win10 and got the network working

emuola

There is no problem accessing this file but you have to do it under Linux. SSH into MISTer and vi /etc/dhcpcd/conf or whatever editor you want to use. It is what I did to set my MISTer in fixed IP. How can I SSH in to MiSTer as I cannot access via the ethernet? :O I don't have a switch at the moment and Wifi either. I guess I'm screwed then ? Wind...

emuola

Found this, but where is the /etc/dhcpcd.conf on the SD card? I know my way around Linux filesystem, but how can I actually access it? Network configuration is now done with dhcpcd. You will have to modify the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file to setup a static ip. Add something like this on the bottom of the file: interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.0.XX...

emuola

The title pretty much says it Cable is there, but how do I configure MiSTer not to use DHCP?

Are you sure your monitor has its internal options set-up to respect the original aspect ratio sent to it, and not stretch it?

Fixed! For some strange reason the aspect ratoi setting of the Samsung monitor is in a really weird location in the OSD. Found it just by accident. Thank you AmanoJacu

emuola

Sorry for being unclear :( I'm using my ultrawide 3840x1080 IPS monitor via HDMI as a temporary solution, because I cannot use my BVM (using VGA out) at the moment. As a default the resolution of the cores is strecthed all over the place... How can I have it with correct aspect ratio in the middle of the 3840x1080 display with black borders on the ...

emuola

Trying to create a temporary alt.ini for my MiSTer for the aforementioned resolution via HDMI. Temporary meaning I cannot use my BVM just now for a few weeks/months. How should I set the vscale etc. in the ini, so that the aspect ration of the cores would be 1:1 and not stretched? I cannot get my head around this

emuola

If, as I understand, this KFC is a 31KHz PC monitor, you can just use the Video Processing Filters from the OSD. I'm stuck with a VGA PC monitor as my only CRT atm and this is a sort of compromise (I use slightly tweaked PVM / JVC presets). It's neither fish nor fowl really, if we are talking serious CRT addiction ( I really miss my consumer 15kHz...

More detailed Infos for "Low Definition Television" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-definition_television Thanks for the link, Retro-Nerd 👍 I was wondering, is there anything I can do, e.g. what would be the best settings to have the most visible scanlines with my setup? Without setting the resolution and force_scandoubler=1 in the Mis...

emuola

...is that Kentucky Fried Chicken? :p 480p scanlines are tiny, even when visible its never as honking big as 240p. Standard Definition sets were aimed at 480i, the gaps in 240p are visible mainly because it was never a resolution intended by the TV industry. That's what I thought, thanks for confirming my theory :) It's kinda funny that the Taiwan...

Running latest version of MiSTer and the aforementioned CRT for vertical arcade cores via HDMI-VGA-adapter (VGA is hooked up to Sony BVM for horizontal cores). The picture quality is very good (I know the KFC is not a premium CRT anyway), but I'm kinda disappointed by the lack of scanlines :o I guess as the KFC is only 15" and the lowest scand...

Are you using the 2A or the 4A Meanwell power supply? 2A is not really sufficient for what you have plugged in.

It's the stock 2A one, I'll get a 4A version Thanks for the tip
