Hello! I'm new to the MiSTer but thus far love it. I'm having trouble with getting some of the cores running however and suspect it's very much an issue of me. Pardon my ignorance.
Right now I'm trying to get the AO486 core running and am not seeing anything boot or happen...just a blank screen.
I was trying to follow the guide at
https://www.jamesfmackenzie.com/2021/02 ... ick-start/
I have the following files placed in /media/fat/games/ao486:
- ao486_dir.png (15 KiB) Viewed 2166 times
The rom files I downloaded from
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/ao486_M ... eases/bios and they were transferred via FTP. I have tried copying the ROM files both with an 'auto' setting in my FTP client as well as forcing it to binary.
My settings appear as follows on the core menu:

I had to adjust this. I purchased a pre-configured MiSTer from MiSTER Addons and there were existing virtual drives. I removed them from the configuration on this screen (not the MiSTer itself), and selected the DOS.vhd that I had created per the guide above. I get the blank screen regardless of what has been selected for the IDE devices or floppy...I've tried selecting them and saving, and I've tried to see if I leave them all empty if I'd see the BIOS angry that it had nothing to boot from but nope, nothing.
When I select 'Reset and apply HDD' nothing happens. I see no messages, errors, or anything. Just a black screen.
I am new and don't fully understand the interaction with all of the file types, but I do have an rbf file for the core:

I see a lot of threads about loading disks and the like into the core but haven't seen anything about the core itself not loading. Am I doing something wrong here, and has somebody run into this before?
Thanks much.
