Regarding the +5V amperage, I notice it depends on the DE10-Nano power source. I have a Zeroforce Lightgun (with GunCon, GunCon 2, and Justifier modes) which would randomly reset MiSTer when recoil was enabled. This stopped when I changed the original 2A PSU for a Mean Well 4A one. Zeroforce still has issues with SNAC, but the amperage is no longer...

There is also no "sync on green" switch on the official one, which is a bummer. And I don't see a jumper to switch voltages for the fan, while there is clearly one on the Misteraddon's version. Sync on Green is not needed anymore, it can be set in mister.ini The jumper to switch fan voltages is on the other side of the board, according t...

Here are my questions: You stated "GunCon1 + SNAX64 + Reflex Adapt", but for using a GunCon1 as a USB device, the SNAX64 is not needed, just the Reflex Adapt is needed, correct? Sorry for the confusion. I meant I have all three, but I don't use them all together. I use SNAX64 for the PS1 core and Reflex Adapt to use GunCon as a generic l...

skooter

What adaptor did you buy? GunCon 1 works with the PS1 core through SNAC. It can work with other cores as a generic lightgun using Reflex Adapt. AFAIK, it is the only adapter that supports GunCon 1. I have the full combo (GunCon1 + SNAX64 + Reflex Adapt) and I can confirm that it works. GunCon 2 connects through USB and works as a generic lightgun &...

We ship worldwide.

Not anymore since Brazil was removed.

By the way, has anyone bought the new Atari CX30+ paddles?

I'm interested in them since the plastic on my original paddles is brittle after those 40 years. Hopefully they are improved or at least the same as the originals.

skooter

Sure: Atari7800_input_04d8_f947_v3.zip (This is for the PDL adaptor; I had this working just fine with the D9 as well but was getting jitter so switched to using the PDL version) Thank you! I renamed your file to match my D9 and the MGL name. Then I got the first paddle axis and the second paddle button working as the first paddle. The other axis ...

skooter

Maybe I didn't the first time, but I tried many other times and it was set to Yes.

skooter

Sorry, the P2 paddle button used to be labeled "Thumb" during mapping, but I just ran through it to check and it appears it was renamed to "Paddle Button" at some point (probably to make it clearer). In any case, the "Fire 2" button should be skipped as that is intended for the 2nd button on the 7800, and the p2 paddl...

skooter

I tried the mappings file before I went into the button mappings.
I don't recall a "thumb" option to map, but I'll check again.
Anyway, it should have worked with at least one paddle, as I was mapping the button to Fire 1.

skooter

Yesterday I finally installed the D9 Mister firmware and tried again. It was a major waste of time! The mapping files didn't work. I mapped them through the menu assigning paddle buttons to A and B. I changed the core inputs to paddles and the option to have two paddles in the same controller. I mapped the paddle buttons to Fire1 through the core m...

skooter

Thank you very much.

I'll give D9 another try since MiSTer doesn't support the spinner I bought.

skooter

Could anyone share the D9 firmware that supports MiSTer?
The author pulled it down before I could download it.
And now his whole website seems to be gone.
I may not have the jitter problem since I'm using a Mean Well power source with the ground pin.

skooter

Was the 7800 core with Paddle SNAC support ever released?
There are some SNAC adaptors around with a switch to change between paddles and other analog inputs, so I guess there is some way to use it.

skooter

I followed the steps but I still couldn't get the two paddles to work at the same time. The buttons do not work.

skooter

I don't know about SNAC, I don't have any. But regarding D9, it could be solved on the mister side with a mister.ini entry to split a device in two based on its VID/PID. It would probably need some code specific to D9, as each button would have to go with one specific axis, and maybe some detection to do that only when the paddles are connected (jo...

skooter

Therein lies the problem approaching it from that end. A bespoke D9 firmware that a) doesn't work like real paddles do and b) isn't compatible with anything else because of a) isn't appealing. The current way D9 works is not like real paddles either. It detects if a joystick is connected and map its joystick directions to analog X and Y axis. The ...

skooter

I also emailed him. He said all the switches combinations are already used and another alternative firmware would be another thing for him to maintain. He wouldn't actually need a MiSTer to implement the changes. It is just a matter of presenting the two paddles as two different controllers to the system instead of a single one. I think this is the...

skooter

He can. He just doesn't want to.

skooter

Sure. It is attached.
Besides setting VIC to zero, it also sets IT to Game mode.

skooter

Thanks. I'll create an issue in the framework GitHub.

skooter

I finally found out the root of this problem: MiSTer is sending a wrong VIC configuration in the AVI InfoFrame. Apparently, the automatic VIC detection of the HDMI chip (ADV7513) fails when we set resolutions or frequencies above its specifications. According to its specs, the limit is 165 MHz and 1920x1080. When MiSTer is set to 1920x1440, the VIC...

skooter

The Harmony Cartridge also detects mappers automatically.

skooter

SNAC doesn't work for paddles because they require analog input. There is a workaround using the ADC In, but it is not supported by the 7800 core. There is more info on this topic some pages behind.

skooter

Only one paddle can be mapped in the 7800 core.

skooter

SG-1000 is also supported in the MS/GG core.

You're being overly aggressive here. People are entitled to give their opinions in an Internet forum whether you like it or not. I get it, Atari 2600 is your favorite system. It was my first system and I care a lot about it. But I won't act like someone is cursing my mother just because he/she is suggesting the old core is retired. The important th...

skooter

I'm aware. The issues I mentioned are specific of the SMS/Game Gear core. Though they are also not two systems mashed together as Game Gear runs Master System games natively.

skooter

On a second thought, regarding the settings, then I can see that we may have issues like:
- different optimal resolutions (atrac17 video modes) for SMS and Game Gear
- different scanlines/shadow masks/etc. settings for SMS and Game Gear

skooter

I don't get what is the big deal of having the ROMs in the same folder. My 7800 folder has three zip files: @Atari 2600 2021-04-06.zip @Atari 7800 2021-04-26.zip Trebors_7800_ROM_PROPack_v3_8.zip It is just an extra step to select the zip I want before navigating its structure. For the SMS core, I created three subfolders: Game Gear, Master System,...
