Re: N64 Core Documentation (vertical crop modes in particular)

Yes, that is exactly what it does: crop 8/12 pixels from top and bottom so 16/24 in total.

If you are ever in question about these things: you can look for the source resolution if you press left in the OSD on the same page where you can set the volume.

Re: NAS vs SD vs HDD Speed

It's surprising that CD head seek times are so fast. Hearing the head move, one would say that it's frigging slow. They are not when the head has to move, but depending if it's close or far from the center, you can reach 5-15 or so different sectors without moving the head and this "seek" time is fast. However, this can also go backwards...

Re: NAS vs SD vs HDD Speed

We have seen this behavior with the psx core again and again now over the years.... Bandwidth alone is useless if you need realtime data. The PSX core is not reading the CD like a software emulator would do, but instead each sector on its own. There is a prefetch buffer on the ARM side, but that doesn't help with a random seek. edit: i thought the ...

It seems like these guys found a solution to the latency issue in DDR3 on another FPGA board, but it's DDR3 memory as well.

https://www.ultrafp64.com/

Look the logs.

Completly different story.
Mazamars has a dedicated DDR3 that is not shared with other components. With hardware like this, we would have zero issues.

You database is not working, make sure you download it and put it with the correct name in the folder on the sdcard.

Double check when starting OoT that in system settings the CIC is set correct and no "database missing" overlay appears

Re: Audio skipping issues using SSD

Unfortunatly external drives via USB will result in increased access times, no matter how fast the drive itself is.
As the PSX core needs CD data in realtime, every random delay can lead to issues.
Therefore I cannot really recommend anything USB based.

Network drives however work fine and SDcard also.

I have also run into this yesterday when i made further changes. I don't understand why it's sometimes there and mostly not.
As my new build has this 100% of the time, i can easily research it and i will fix it.
I don't have a solution ready, but i can promise you to look into it after the christmas days.

Sounds like your TV has to sync because of the resolution change.
You can try to set vsync_adjust = 0 in your mister.ini to test if that is the issue or not.

Re: N64 Core

You can put a request in the mister main repo on github and you will get an answer from Sorg if he will (consider) implement or why it is not useful or needed.

It's a valid request, because often you don't know the defaults and might want to go back to them, so you can try it.

The N64 core controller config does not ask about mapping the d-pad at all in any case, only the analog stick is mapped in the core.

Other way around: the core only asks for DPAD, Stick is only mapped in Mister Main.
Don't move the stick in the cores input config and it should be fine.

Yes, only for 480i and also only for HDMI, not analog out.

the purpose is to get rid of combining artifacts from 480i not for outputting 480p over analog for CRT monitors.
