MiSTer FPGA Forum

I've never looked into it but there are multiple guides around for using a TapTo NFC reader with MiSTer.

What's the benefit? More fps? More polygons? More reactivity?
Sorry for my silly question.

Some games will play at a more consistent framerate, some will play at higher framerates, some won't have any benefit at all. There's no harm in trying it out and having fun with it.

It could have been worse?

MiSTer FPiGA maybe?

The only reason I don't like the name is because there are sooo many "pi" devices; orange, banana, raspberry... I'll stop here before I get gross.

It really is unimaginative. It also was likely not already copyrighted.

"All-in-all ao486 is not for TV" - classic Sorg

He does have a point, though. By the time 486's came out, costs had come down considerably, PCs had become mainstream, dedicated VGA monitors had become the norm and very few people were using a TV as their main monitor or even attempting to.

I haven't tried it but I have a GeoWorks CD that came with the SCSI CD-ROM that we added to my am386-SX back in the day. I can't imagine that it wouldn't work with a 486SX. I'll have to dig it out and try it.

Yes, this would play SNES games utilizing the N64 core…

Maybe someone could run the SGB emulator in Sodium64 in the N64 core?!

I think that’s how the flux capacitor was conceived
1.21 gigawatts!

GREAT SCOTT!

Is this really any different than Super Game Boy in the SNES core?

What mode do you have the j-pac in? Easiest just to put it into x-input mode i thinkstickman hook

This mode cannot be set for 1-4 players.

OK, but which mode do you have it set in?

It almost sounds similar to the problems one person has over in this thread, albeit with an LG TV, a RetroTink4k and an HDMI switch, any of which or the core could be the cause or symptom.

Pick up a pair of Sennheiser 2.4 GHz wireless headphones and plug them into the headphone jack.

Are you able to try one connected to an OTG cable instead of the USB hub board?

Whatever the correct term is, it FEELS like I'm playing on a CRT.

I believe that feeling is called nostalgia.

Is the disk maybe going into power save mode after a while?

Try loading the core, map the buttons, save the core settings, then load a ROM.

I had the same problem with my Brawler 64 NSO.

If it's like the Brawler 64 Bluetooth, unplug the USB cable and turn it off and hold the sync button on the back and A to change it to X-Input mode, then it should pair with your MiSTer by Bluetooth.

It's not an FPGA core but there is a Linux port of SCUMMVM for MiSTer.

Anyone knows what swap interlaced does? I only get combing artifacts at 480i and thought it might improve things. Don't know if bob is implemented.

It swaps the interlaced fields. Generally leave it turned off unless you're using a CRT at 480i and, even then, you probably want to leave it turned off.

Have you tried it without the patch?
