edit: and the quote didn't show so this appeared as a random rambling, haha!

I had read about this for using the controller with MAME, but didn't think it'd be as useful to the MiSTer.
I sadly have not the basic skill to even build it, so I'll wait for miracles, like Windows drivers and MiSTeR implementation!

It would be better to have a global accelerator setting, like mouse_throttle but the other way.

I totally subscribe to this point of view. With the per core ini setting, would make it very sweet for everyone to customize the sensibility to their taste too.

I thought this was still beta and non responding to controls all this time because the inital bios boot doesn't do anything — I guess it is but the first ordeal to test your motivation to play that console. It was only after reading mike911's message yesterday (thank you!) that I was able to to get... to the point Jordi was, with white screen after...

Or you can edit the mra files.

In either case, the core fails to load the rom, trying to find a file that isn't present in the psychic5.zip downloaded by the update-all script here.

Rocky launch!

Whoops, I'll have to scribe that in some of the not rotten space left in my brains!

As an added note, to remove something from a drive or an expansion slot, press the suppr key on the keyboard with the relevant opening dialogue box open. It took me a bit of a while to remember it the other day!

Oh, I thought Sorgelig had stated the current way was because he didn't want too many SD writes way back when, my bad.

I think they all are, but be aware that the computer's refresh rate is tied to the OS, so you will need two TOS image: a 60hz, American one, and a 50hz, European one.

To look up a word means to search for it in a database, in thise case, these forums.

Forgive me if this has been suggested or discussed before, but looking up "saves" is kind of tricky. I was wondering if it would be feasible to allow for saves or data write to be automatically done the moment they are done (instead of having to summon the MiSTer menu) when using an external storage like an HD, since the risk of corruptio...

Check the date next time you practice thread necromancy, thanks ;)

I bought an RGB to composite adapter from Axunworks and it has been interesting, but I think I should test it further. The adapter worked only through VGA to VGA connection through the I/O board (using a VGA to SCART adapter didn't work at all). Only a few cores actually worked: the NES, SNES and PCE ones mainly. The Megadrive one didn't at all. Th...

Sounds like a very strange dongle to make sure the pad won't work with any USB hardware known to man.

LeftEmpty

The lack of reply should tell you something ;) Until recently, it was not a decent possibility. Now it's usable, and doesn't look too bad actually, but it comes with limitations. The basic setting for each game should be: ; Insert here [romset name as specified in the MRA] vga_scaler=1 video_mode=320,8,32,24,240,4,3,16,6048 vscale_mode=0 The last s...

It should be the Insert (often labelled Ins) key.

I don't know the exact process or hardware specifications for Apple II and Oric (two platforms I have basically zero knowledge of), but it probably requires different from a simple keyboard layout switch. For instance, you need to insert the proper BASIC ROM into the MiSTer boot.rom ( see the read.me for reference ) to get AZERTY support on the CPC...

Awesome!

I use bright colours: most of the emulators had a tendancy to got for washed out colours for a long time, while the original Japanese Famicom I played on had distinctively very, very bright colours. I'm personally using one of Wavebeam's, which fits my souvenir on my current TV. And also using a "compositer" to make it all look jagged and...

Aw, I was stupid! I was using Python 2 instead of 3. Now your script works perfectly.
Sadly, I still got an IO Error on the two tapes I tried.

I get a 0 byte file as output now. But something is probably wrong on my end from the very start: I always got syntax error on the print commands (which I deleted), and in this new script or the precedent one, I was getting TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects Previous one outputed properly sized c10 files though. Disclaimer: I don...

The core works here on a 15khz pretty common CRT screen: I have set

Code: Select all

[AliceMC10]
vga_scaler=1
video_mode=320,8,32,24,240,4,3,16,6048
vscale_mode=0

and my vsync_mode is set to 0 as well.

Thank you very much for confirming it and making the effort to report it, David!

I seem to have an issue now: I can't run anything but cartridges.
When I try to run my Seven Cities of Gold or MULE floppies, it either tells be to not use a custom OS, or to remove the cartridge in the cartridge slot (which there is none inserted, obviously), depending on the machine type.
Help :O

The procedure is the same whether you load a saved game or start a new one: - Wait for the title screen, press run button at the prompt; - Skip the intro sequence by holding the II button; - Start a new game (first option) or load a saved one (second option) at the menu; - Hold down the I button to skip time until an encounter happens; - Press I to...

Hello, I am experiencing a slight graphical glitch in Last Armageddon. After a fight, the borders of some of the coastline are changed to parts of the ideograms used to signal an encounter ("獲物がいたぜ！"). Here is a screen capture : IMG_2475.jpg I don't have a mean to test another dump, as I don't own the game anymore. If anybody can check it...

Hello, not sure where to post this. I just got an AC600 TP link (rtl8812au based, I think?), and it wasn't working out of the box. I went through lot of tries, before I figured the problem was that the MiSTer was trying to connect using my USB to Bluetooth adapter from 8Bitdo instead of the Wifi one. Unplugging the BT dongle fixes it. I tried to sw...

It's a Medal game, and faking medals isn't something the MiSTer can do, probably.

This is a weird change that's been included in the MiSTer framework abuot a month ago.
You have to press the "A" button while in the core (not its menu) to activate and assign a controller to a player.
See viewtopic.php?f=30&t=716&p=5352 for reference.

I hope the change will be reverted.

I have frankly no idea what you are talking about.
