How does Groovy Mister differ from Mister Cast? Am I right in saying (and this may not the right phrase) Mister Cast would not be 'Pixel Perfect'?

mist-rich

Understandable and you're right, it should work - it's not as if you're asking for something hugely complex from it
Hopefully a firmware update will fix.

I did think the likely culprit could be the KVM switch when reading that. I have a similar setup although use optical for the sound into a DAC which has a source select button so I can switch between Mister & PC. Also use a HDMI switcher (just behind) for another device. If I want switch between monitor speakers & headphones on PC, rather t...

Wow, i've not been able to do anything Mister-wise for the last month and I just logged back in to see all this going on. Incredible

I bought it when it first came out, and 2.4ghz didn't do anything, but then I tried it again at a later point and it did. My assumption is a driver was created, but I can't confirm that. I just know it's working. Is there anything special one must do to get 2.4ghz to work or is it supposed to be plug and play? I have tried plugging in the dongle a...

For those with 15khz monitors, I finally got ao486 working perfectly on my PVM with this line (suggested earlier in the thread): video_mode=640,6,56,66,224,14,8,18,1200 It looks absolutely perfect, like it's the proper native resolution (320x200). I also changed the setting to use the native aspect ratio so that the screen isn't stretched slightly...

It is now auto-reconnecting, i was being too impatient So good/bad news - good in that it is fixed. Bad as I feel silly for not realizing before posting

Thank you

mist-rich

Interesting , perhaps I was a bit too eager to access the menus on last test. I'll boot up again in a min and leave it on OSD menu and let you know

mist-rich

Hi all, I did search for this but could not find anything, I use the wireless dongle to connect my Mister to the internet and then FTP to the folders I need. It is a bit long winded starting the Wifi Script each time and even longer putting my password in - is there a way to auto-connect on boot or at least save my password please? Once connected i...

mist-rich

Yep, got the MT-32 pi addon and it's my first experience of the Roland as could never afford one back in the day it was worth the wait

mist-rich

Awesome! Looks great! Enjoy! You might be able to move the vga_mode=rgb line up to the top section and get rid of the Menu section since the rest are the same. I am afraid your CRT might not work right while running cores otherwise. Thank you :D Just moved it up and all still working nicely :) it also seems to be starting up into menus (and genera...

Thanks for your help bazza, you put me on the right track and we got there in the end

mist-rich

That fixed it A huge thanks thorr Can't quite capture the hertz on camera phone but it really looks beautiful in person Thank you

mist-rich

Sure! Thank you :) [MiSTer] hdmi_game_mode=1 vga_sog=1 key_menu_as_rgui=0 ; set to 1 to make the MENU key map to RGUI in Minimig (e.g. for Right Amiga) forced_scandoubler=0 ; set to 1 to run scandoubler on VGA output always (depends on core). ypbpr=1 ; set to 1 for YPbPr on VGA output. composite_sync=1 ; set to 1 for composite sync on HSync signal...

mist-rich

Tweaking now but still a bit stuck. Would it be ok if I post up my .ini for you to look over please?

mist-rich

Thank you, the only issue now is that pink hue on HD monitor - the CRT is working beautifully in menus and cores. The HD monitor is also working perfectly in cores, it's jut that pink hue that would be nice to fix. The issue is this line: [menu] direct_video=1 If I delete that, HD screen is perfect but then crt is not showing scripts menus or backg...

mist-rich

I'll keep fiddling and will update as soon as I, hopefully, solve.

mist-rich

Thank you , tried that and no luck so I changed 'forced_scandoubler=1' to 'forced_scandoubler=0' and now not only the backscreen appears on CRT but I can also see the menus too :D :D The attached pic does not do it justice because of the Hertz and camera but it really does look gorgeous. Thank you. That's the first time i've ever got that to work. ...

mist-rich

Thank you will try tomorrow and will let you know

mist-rich

Did you run an actuall diff on the two ini files or only a visual inspection? Just using the scripts in menu on Mister and manually changing settings as not able to connect remotely at the moment. Scandoubler activated in OSD would produce this Yes :D That fixed it thank you, i missed that one from the working .ini somehow. :D :D :D Getting it all...

mist-rich

Hello, I've been messing/tweaking/learning and having a lot of fun with the Mister and recently swapped SD cards. If you could please see the attached - i'm getting a double screen on my CRT (HD monitor is fine) - I know it is not my monitor at fault as when I put the old SD card back in, all is ok again. I've had a good look over the .ini (admitte...

mist-rich

Have you accidently loaded the alternative .ini (which is easy to do) - if you hit 'Esc' key and then use cursor keys to ensure 'Main' is selected (you might need to go to the left screen once you press the 'esc' key, i can't remember).

mist-rich

Will try that now

When you say slow (and as I don't know what I should be aiming for) what kind of speeds are you getting?

mist-rich

Thanks both that has made it clearer and I am starting to see what is happening. I did not know that you had a Wi-Fi dongle on your PC Yes but just to confirm as a receiver , it is not sending out a signal by hot-pointing (I am using a Asus PCE-AC88 wifi card inside desktop) . I am receiving the connection from my wireless router some distance away...

mist-rich

Thanks both - that's starting to make sense and would explain it. The desktop PC I am using to connect to the Mister is away from my main router and I am connecting over wifi (to the internet). I do have a wifi dongle installed on the Mister so perhaps it will be best connect to it over wireless? A shame as my Mister is right next to the desktop an...

mist-rich

Thanks Bas,

Sure . It's a direct connection from the Ethernet port on the Mister (the opposite end of where the VGA cable is inserted) to the ethernet port on my motherboard (Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller). I'm using a 'Cat6 Molded Slim UTP Ethernet Cable'.

Automatic (DHCP) is on.

mist-rich

Hello, Recently moved over to a different desktop computer and connected my Mister via Ethernet same as before, but i'm now not being assigned an IP address (the 'Lan' image is not being shown on the Mister to indicate a connection either). I did think perhaps the ethernet port on new desktop computer was the cause but the port 'lights-up' when I i...

mist-rich

Sorted. I edited the .ini from desktop and changed some settings and updated the wifi script and all is ok again

One question for future - is notepad good enough for .ini editing?

mist-rich

Hi all, A happy new year to you all. Everything was going great with my Mister and recently had both crt, hd monitors setup nicely and bluetooth keyboard + mouse running great :) I did an update.all from the Mister and all seemed to go ok, but now I cannot access my .ini from the menu (it just goes straight back to the menu), nor can I access Wifi ...
