tty2oled Soft&Hardware Add-On (Shows Core based Pictures on a Display)

[RealLarry]

Finalizer Set 2 and Set 2 [b1] (don't know why these variations are there) are giving me a Data Transfer Error.

That b1 core seems to be pretty broken.

Thanks for the info. Despite of the fact that it's working for me (tm), there were some surplus bytes at the beginning of the header of finalizr.gsc which I have removed now. Please try again and report, maybe I've to fixup some more pictures which are having these bytes too.

Background:
There are two pictures (finalizr.gsc, finalizr_alt1.gsc) for three versions of Finalizer (Set 1 (finalizr), Set 2 (finalizra), Set 2 bl (finalizrb)). As these games are more or less the same "Finalizer", there were no need to create a picture for every version/subversion/hack. So we did a trick and named the picture(s) of these alternative games/versions to basename_of_the_game_altX which are diced out whatever version you are playing.
If there were (or will be) dozens versions of Finalizer (alternatives), we were set and could go to sleep

I went ahead and added all the consoles and handheld that I think may be possible for MiSTer, although most I doubt we will ever see, but there are on the sheet if anyone has a hankering for making more images. I could do the same for 8 bit computers if there is a desire to do those, we do seem to get a new exotic old computer every month or two.

Well done, thanks again. Feel free to exoand the sheet for your/our needs, we will see what core appears next.

With the PSG games, I got the list from wikipedia - some have alternate names which might clear up the missing ones for you:

I got the appropriatee setname (CoreName) from MAME (mame -ll). I'll wait for the first working cores to see if that matches so far, maybe fix some entrys/names and continue then by doing my job as Bob Ross

Will the CoCo3 image need renamed?

Not sure if image names are case sensitive with matching.

Did you push this update? Because I'm still getting these errors (with the pre-release version). I wonder why it was working fine for you already and I'm getting transfer errors here.

I'm also getting an error now when running the tty2oled update script from the mister menu:
/tmp/update_tty2oled_script.sh: line 148: rsyncy.py: command not found

When I run it from ssh I don't get this error.

No, don't let the coretitle fool you. They're setting the corename by itself (or by MRA) and they don't necessarily have to be related to each other.

Yes, I've pushed it into the repo just before I wrote the message (as I'm always doing: finish the work first, then talk about it )
But I was trapped by the last small update to the Updater I did on 21th, where I was using a path which doesn't exist when running scripts from menu/script. This is fixed now.

[RealLarry]

May I serve this to you guys?

[Moondandy]

Good effort Larry! Are we lacking info on the remaining PSG images to be able to make images at this stage?

If someone can find out which version of the Mortal Kombat board that JT has then we could add the other games that run on that board.

[RealLarry]

Are we lacking info on the remaining PSG images to be able to make images at this stage?

Yes, either missing info or missing a suitable picture. These games are extended sequels of it's own, like "Game III - Double Plus Extended Special" and I can't assign then without a testable core.
No hurry, let's see what's coming up. I'm sure that some pictures of PGM/TMNT I've already made will need to be renamed or reassigned.

For all Patreons of Jotego (like I am) out there: He just released Super Basketball (Konami)
https://twitter.com/topapate/status/1476932921118408706
Sheet updated, picture ready for download.
Happy gaming a a happier new year!

[RealLarry]

While you are getting sober, I was already busy and wrote a lil' script which is inspecting all available MRA's from Main and Jotego and looks if an appropriate GSC ia available or not. It turned out that a handful cores were missing in the sheet and I lost one or two pictures because of doing work while drinking. These are all fixed now, absolutely nothing left but pictures for Pac-Man Club- Club Lambada and Pac-Manic Miner.

Happy New Year and all the best

[LamerDeluxe]

Happy new year to everyone in this thread!

[Moondandy]

Happy new year guys! Congrats on getting to (pretty much) 100% coverage!

I added in another old PC being worked on to the sheet the other day.

Hi @all,
we released the actual "testing" Arduino Code to "stable".

Whats new/changed:

• 9 new Effects (now 23 in total)

• New Command CMDCLST (@LamerDeluxe )

• Changed Commands CMDCOR and CMDSPIC

See Command Documentation at
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... Command_v2

Update your tty2oled Display using the tty2oled "Updater".

No changes at the MiSTer Scripts.

//Edit
Transition Effect List
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... ffect-list

[LamerDeluxe]

That is great news! The transition display clear command works really well. And I really love that there are so many different kinds of transitions.

[Moondandy]

Hey guys, I went on a deep dive into any other unofficial cores kicking about (found a few more) and also cores that are on MiST but not on MiSTer and documented them on the sheet, there is a new "MiST Core" status label. I also marked on ones listed on the MiST githubs for each as should be able to work on the associated arcade platform as "No Core" at the bottom of the sheet, hopefully it should make sense looking at the sheet.

Hi all, sorry if this is been asked before but this screen appears to be a slightly different revision to others I’ve seen and is pre-configured for 4-SPI:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313603434371

Can anyone confirm the header pin layout is the same? I am using ojaksch‘s PCB.

[venice]

The Pinout looks different to me.
Double check here https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... Electrical

And the Display is really expensive.

It was just to avoid the 4spi soldering… way too small for me! Has anyone found the right screen with 4spi already configured?

[venice]

If you are able to solder “normal” Resistors it’s not too hard as the parts “to move” are Zero Resistors.

Heat the Resistor, which needs to be (re)moved, up until you can grab it, and the two tiny contacts on the other location can be easily closed with a drop of solder.

I haven't quite figured out what I want my MiSTer case to be so for now I decided to just design and print a simple stack case with a tty2oled hat. Because of the color (just one of my fuller spools that I grabbed semi randomly) and form factor it kind of reminds me of a couch

[lunch_box]

Finally ordered all the bits to build the tty2oled can’t wait to get it all working.

Does anyone here offer a 3D printing service in U.K. for a case?

[venice]

... and form factor it kind of reminds me of a couch

You couch is now part of the gallery.

[Moondandy]

Quite quiet here lately, a heads up that there are a few computer cores that are launchable on MiSTer added to the sheet (including BBC Electron which was released to Main today).

Acorn Electron
Acorn System 1
Microdigital TK-2000
Rememotech MTX
SPARCstation
Thompson MO6

I tried to find some references for the final missing arcade entries, here is one for Wheels
https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page= ... 60&image=1

I need to dig a bit further on the others or delete them but made a couple of notes.

I updated the counters as well, so they don't take into account No Cores, so those are accurate and looking a lot more positive again.

[marcelosofth]

Hello "Moondandy" how did you find out about the Core of the Tk 2000?

I was the one who encouraged "Alanswx" to port the MC2+ core to Mister FPGA, but unfortunately he doesn't answer me anymore, I believe I gave up, and there was very little left to make the Core perfect, just correct the color palette!

I have my 5.5" green OLED working perfectly fine. Just needed to change one resistor to setup the screen for SPI.

[venice]

Drop some Pictures from the 5.5“ please

[funkychimp]

Good evening all,

Hopefully you guys can provide some assistance with my setup.

I have purchased the following:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B084P4P5Z8/
Landa tianrui OLED Display 3.12" 256 * 64 25664 Dots Graphic LCD Module Display Screen LCM Screen SSD1322 Controller Support SPI (Color : White)

and

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08LL7ZH2W/
ZHITING 2pcs ESP32-DevKitC core Board ESP32 Development Board ESP32-WROOM-32U WiFi Bluetooth Development Board for Arduino IDE (WROOM-32D) ESP32-DEVKITC-F V4 board with latest ESP-WROOM-32D module

I have followed the Windows Arduino guide installing version 1.8.16 and installed all the required prerequisites for a multi color scale set up etc.

I choose 'WEMOS LOLN32' as the board in Arduino as I saw this mention earlier on in the thread when talking about this ESP32 board.

The ESP32 is installed on Windows OK and I can upload the tty2oled software to it. It compiles and uploads without issue finishing with the 'Leaving... Hard resetting via RTS pin...'

However, the OLED does not light up. I get no Sorgelig message. Not even a flash out of it.

I have check all my cabling via a multimeter and continuity from the ESP32 to the OLED is fine on each cable. There also appears to be no shorts. I have the volts at both the ESP32 and the OLED. Both appear to be getting 3.3v.

The 4SPI appears to be set correct. I have a resistor on R8 and have removed R6. I have created a solder bridge on R5.

Now for the pics. Please excuse the grounding mess pins 1, 7-13. I have checked ground Pin with a multimeter and all appear to be connected with no shorts to other pins.

I purchased two ESP32 boards so I have swapped the board out and it still does not works. So either the OLED is bad or I have botched something.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Kind regards

Paul
