Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

Have you tried the old Genesis core? When using the Benfei or Moread (CS5210), my PC CRT doesn't like the 320x224 modes in Castlevania Bloodlines and other Genesis games over Direct Video + Forced Scandoubler when using the Nukey core, but it works fine on the old core (non-Direct Video with the Nukey core also works fine). I'm guessing this might...

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

So I bought a ICY BOX IB-AC502 after reading the results and I must admit, I’m disappointed.[...] Crap, I bought this one as well, though won't be able to try it out for some time as it's elsewhere. Just my luck, I guess. Did you try Amiga core? This one uses res changes quite frequently (also ao486)... Same story with the Amiga core unfortunately...

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

So I bought a ICY BOX IB-AC502 after reading the results and I must admit, I’m disappointed. Sure, the black levels and color accuracy are good, but this dac completely stops outputting video for multiple seconds on resolution changes, making it completely unusable for games like Castlevania: Bloodlines for Genesis. On top of that, it won’t even di...

Re: "Myths & Dragons" for MSX

It does not support V9990 or OPL4, which answers OPs question. The game cannot run without V9990 support

Re: 480i via a CRT not displaying properly on MiSTer

So I just used the same MiSTer setup with Direct_Video, but sent the signal to an OSSC Pro and it is reporting that the signal is 480i! (or 525i, but same thing)

It looks perfectly fine through the scaler, yet connecting directly to my PVM still looks off. I don't understand what's going on

Re: 480i via a CRT not displaying properly on MiSTer

I'm using direct_video, I don't have the scaler enabled. The PSX core displays on my PVM and is perfectly playable. The issue is that it's not actually outputting 480i. This can be seen if you compare it with a non-MiSTer device that outputs 480i and look closely at the scanlines. They 'move' in actual 480i. The MiSTer still looks good but it's not...

Re: 480i via a CRT not displaying properly on MiSTer

Open an issue on github under one of the affected cores. Does the newer Megadrive core work correctly? If so, then it is probably per core where the fix needs to be implemented. Also, make sure you are not using the scaler. 480i works for me at least on the PSX core, at least it used to. It seems to be every core that outputs interlaced modes I’ve...

480i via a CRT not displaying properly on MiSTer

So I noticed something recently, if I use SNES, PSX, or the older Genesis core and play a game that outputs 480i, it seems to be displayed slightly wrong. It looks like it’s actually being output as 240p or something… How I can tell is that I use my real Megadrive and play Sonic 2 and look closely at my CRT, I can see the scanlines moving every oth...

Does it still work for you if you disable TMSS in the menu?

Yep they do, I just tried again with TMSS disabled

Re: MiSTer Nuked-MD Mega Drive Core

Is anyone having trouble booting Triple Play - Gold Edition & Triple Play 96? I just goes to a black screen. It happens on the old Genesis core too. Same - post a bug for the core on Github. Just tested these 2 games in the MegaDrive core and they work fine. Note that I have TMSS enabled, you might need to enable it to get these games to run.

Re: The State of DACs for the MiSTer and Direct Video

Did you test the AG6200 DAC with hdmi_limited=2 set in MiSTer.ini? My understanding is that it was added to address this exact issue. I'd encourage people to buy standards-compliant products regardless, but if a workaround is available, that should be mentioned. As far as I know that was added for DACs that were not AG6200 based .... Not true, it ...

Sorgelig posted a bunch of new changes to the core so here's the new version with his changes too! Notably, EEPROM support is added!

Re: MiSTer Nuked-MD Mega Drive Core

Nukeykt made a new release of Nuked MD FPGA with a z80 and a 68k fix. I have compiled the changes into a new MiSTer RBF for anyone to try out:

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/MegaDri ... 230904.zip

The 68k fix fixes Space Harrier 2, not sure what the z80 fix is intended to fix.

The topic is nuanced further by the fact that you can make mistakes when translating die photos into FPGA code, hence there are still bugs in the NeoGeo core.

I don’t disagree, but what bugs are left in the NeoGeo core? There aren’t any open bug reports on the issue tracker.

Test build 2 of the MiSTer build was posted to sorgelig’s patreon and it works perfectly with my CRTs! I tested a few known bugs in the current genesis core, but the new test build fixed these issues and ran the tests with no issues at all!

Unfortunately, it seems to have sync issues if you play via Direct Video to a CRT. I couldn't get the picture to remain stable
