XSleena Core update: Unified core using dynamic PLL reconfiguration to adjust the speed to the pixel video clock for support different video modes (57.4Hz and 60.0Hz). Many thanks to Martin Donlon aka @WickerWaka for helping me to understand how this works. Added a Hacks menu to alternate CPU speed between 1.0x and 2.0x turbo mode. You need to upd...

XSleena
New core includes: Xain'd Sleena bootleg versions (xsleenab, xsleenaba)
Two rbf files:

• Arcade-XSleenaCore_20221212_120MHzSDR.rbf

• Arcade-XSleenaCore_20221212_96MHzSDR.rbf

Rename the one that works best in your MiSTer system to Arcade-XSleenaCore_20221212.rbf (see Readme.md). Availaible by default the 96MHz SDRAM version.

Hi, sorry, while doing file cleanup in the release version I deleted some memory initialization files used by the code. They're not really needed anymore, but it's easier to add them to the repository to avoid errors in the synthesis process. I just uploaded said files to the repository, it should now synthesize with no problems. This code is in be...

Hi, I just posted the source code for Sleena's Xain'd core for MiSTer. This is the bootleg version that does not have the MCU protection. The beta rbf binary file and the corresponding mra files are available to those who contribute to my projects via the Ko-fi portal at: https://ko-fi.com/rndmnkiii Here you can see a video from the first release r...

You should be one method to setup GPIO pins of port B, not enable both methods at the same time or odd things could occurr. Remember, you have to follow a methodology, this means that you should not introduce more than one change at a time each time you want to try something, or you will never be sure what is failing, because each time you introduc...

This will fail because the core expects to receive correct (consistent) information from the SNAC adapter. If you only connect a pushbutton to an input and don't connect the LS-30 harness, or at least include the pull-up resistors (external or internal) you will read garbage from the IO pins (random and meaningless data) and this will surely interf...

the resistors connected to 3.3V are called Pull-Up resistors sre their function is to hold the input to a well known value (in this case 3.3v or logic 1) when the circuit is open (the buttom or switch is not pressed). When you press the button you close the circuit conecting it to GND and you get a 0v voltage or logic 0 value in the STM32 port pin,...

You have to focus on getting player1's controller to work properly, then we'll see what player2 is. Of course disable any player2 controller in the core for testing. and do not keep any of player2's wiring connected while testing player1's controls.

In any case, you have to follow a methodology to test things, for now, do the tests with a single joystick connected to the pcb in the player1 port, you have to simplify the test cases, and try to reconfigure the wiring following this new scheme, you don't have to touch any of the resistors but you will have to resolder the wires to follow the new ...

Before considering that something else fails, you will have to check the wiring of the LS30 harness since from what you tell me it is not the same as the one I used to make my prototype, based on the information you have provided me, surely this would be the new order to continue with the wiring (it only affects the order of the wiring in the conne...

Sorry, I dont have accesible the hardware (I'm in vacation mode)

I understand not well or pin 7 from joystick goes to pin 1 on the pcb connector?

This from Ikari Warriors Service Manual: IKARI_WARRIORS_SERVICE_MANUAL_LS30_WIRING.png http://www.aurcade.com/games/manuals/00000109.pdf I told this because I buyed my LS30 from ebay and I dont know from that specific machine comes and because I saw several sites where says that the GND goes in pin 13 or pin 1(this simple is how the harness cables ...

Also make sure to use the latest core version available, you can get it from:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Arcade- ... ors_MiSTer
I tested with 1Player and should work fine. And delete any input configuration of the core stored in the MiSTer.

Now I dont can test it because I dont have acccess to it, when I can, I will check this, but you checked where the GND cable of LS30 harness goes, NOT always goes in the middle and is the first thing to test.

If the game goes crazy is because the incorrect data for the selected input interface is coming. Check and recheck the harness cables because is too easy to attach them in the wrong order.

You have two different SNAC choices in the core:
* DB15 Devices
* Native LS-30 Adapter

You should choose the second for the LS-30 controller.
The first is for game controllers as the NeoGeo DB15.

You need a male to male USB3 cable, something as this:

You also can buy a ready to use DB15 SNAC adapter:

I'm glad to hear that the problem is fixed, please note that arduino installs a new toolchain and tools to be able to compile code for an ARM processor that is different from the one used for AVR MCUs used by Arduino boards. From my experience as a programmer, I already knew about this type of problem and with nothing that I saw that your username ...

see my last answer because the blank character in the username can be the problem.

Example of this:
https://community.platformio.org/t/spac ... th-g/18214

My gut tells me that the username "Dell 5593" which has a blank may be the culprit: see this line: arm-none-eabi-g++: error: 5593\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\STMicroelectronics\hardware\stm32\2.3.0=.: No such file or directory Seems that the arm executable dont understand the folder name as "Dell 5593", but instead only see...

There are many factors that can cause the compiler to fail here: antivirus that sees the IDE activity as suspicious, file access permissions, environment variables, the only thing I can tell you is that it works correctly on my computer, I don't know what it can go wrong, try to use a slightly older version of arduino 1.8.18 or 1.8.16, but remove a...

Can you check this:

I understand that you installed this from the board manager:

You are using wrong settings for the compiler. If you Blue Pill is the STM32F103CB, STM32F103C8 or STM32F103C6 select the correct device and for programming you will not used a port, because you will use the STLINK V2 (STM32CubeProgrammer(SWD), so see my Arduino settings for reference:

1- Launch Arduino.cc IDE. Click on "File" menu and then "Preferences".
The "Preferences" dialog will open, then add the following link to the "Additional Boards Managers URLs" field: Click "Ok"
