Since 18 June version sync works perfectly in my setup.

pacoarcade

I upgraded the core yesterday and still no luck, the image is not stable. I also use an ugreen adapter that works perfect for all the other cores. Maybe the sync output from the core is a bit different from the standard? for arcade pcbs with rare sync I use the Martin Jones sync stabilizer that helps sometimes: https://martin-jones.com/2014/09/16/t...

As stated above, latest January release works ok.

Hi Javi, is the official release stable for you? here the image is still dancing (LG with pretty good compatibility with rare syncs). Haven't tested with an original PS1 yet.

Dunno if this is the cause, but to get proper sound you need a good quality DAC and connect it via TOSLink or Mini-Toslink. Both FX-Audio DAC-X6 and Topping E30 sound good to my ears.

Check this out: https://nitter.net/topapate/status/1356278639516532743 . I tried a similar one but it doesn't sound very good.

If you want to run the VPN in the MiSTer instead of the router I'd look for Wireguard since, as far as I know, it performs better on machines without AES-NI - like the DE10-Nano.

Hopefully he's fine since he seems to be active in Github: https://github.com/nullobject

Thank you for your help.

For U4 I think it's HTC Korea TAEJIN Tech LM1117F-3.3 instead of HTC Korea TAEJIN Tech LM1117F-5.0 or LM1117F-ADJ linked in a previous post. The schematic specifies 3.3V so I'd choose LM1117F-3.3. From RetroCastle photo it looks it's effectively LM1117F-3.3.

About U3 (LVC1G04), the footprint looks identical to the one in sdram 2.4/2.5, and according to the wiki it's SN74LVC1G04DBVR (SOT-23-5).

pacoarcade

I talked to Jotego about version 2.4/2.5 and he said the RAM chips on the board are suffering due to working out of specification, but most probably the DE10-Nano is safe. Even when my SDRAM 2.4 works stable I'd like to build a pair of 2.9 modules but BOM is not available. The LDO used is in a nonstandard package. The LM1117 does not come in SOT89....

Hello! My CRT TV, although it works fine with almost every core and even arcade boards with rare sync, doesn't seem to like the PSX core sync. I wonder if it's planned to make an option to make sync more compatible or some bug to fix, or I should just use another TV. Latest releases from January used to work fine, but lately the image is always rol...

pacoarcade

A pull request at github will work better. Anyway you can put that configuration into ~/.profile

pacoarcade

Maybe those RBF files are corrupted? If manually downloading them doesn't work I'd start from scratch using a different MicroSD card.

pacoarcade

Before the official USB HUB I used a Digitus DA-70222. It worked fine for me although I didn't give it heavy use or measured lag.

As far as I know TMNT is not released.

Cabal and Terra Cresta are being ported to Neo Geo. Haven't tried this in the MiSTer yet:

Beware of static electricity, always manipulate the DE10-Nano using a grounded ESD wrist.

For CSYNC line the adequate resistor in series is 470Ω. This is the voltage using a Rankie HDMI to VGA converter and a consumer TV set, ~400mV, being 1V the maximum acceptable:

It would be fine even for TTL CSYNC assuming your TV set is 75Ω terminated.

pacoarcade

If you are using the HDMI to VGA converter for direct_video be sure the cable fits the female VGA connector.

For me the best controller by far is the Sega Saturn first model in Japan, the rounded one (HSS-0101, I think it's the same as the second model in Europe) and Daemonbite controller.

I can't make the Tiger Knee (SF2') in any other controller.

pacoarcade

Maybe it's due to tolerance in Analog I/O board resistors?

I use CRT with Direct video output so it should be fine.

pacoarcade

For me the holy grail display for MiSTer is the CRT you get for free or find abandoned in the street, even with its imperfections.

pacoarcade

Although maybe it's not the ideal solution I use a daemonbite controller for each player.

My problem was getting charged from the TV and later pressing a MiSTer button, not just putting it near the CRT.

pacoarcade

Congratulations for your repairs.

My mistake was not discharging myself before touching the Nano being near a CRT. I felt a discharge when touching the middle button, even using a full case. Fortunately it apparently still works perfect, although I may have damaged the MiSTer, so I got a backup Nano just in case.

Beware of the ESD!

If it's technically viable, NFS client would be great.

Powered by Soarer's converter.

For normal computing I use a regular Model M via PS/2 - it works a treat!

pacoarcade

Thank you Sorgelig. Well managed project!

Daemonbite adapters work great with my japanese Sega Saturn controllers. Fully recommended.
