- Space Invaders
- Space Invaders - Part II
- Rally X

Your Pictures, except Space Invaders which was already created by stefer09 yesterday,
and 3 new ones by stefer09 (Dig Dug 2, Game of Life and 1942) are now available at Github for the Updater.

I added your RAR File to Github as well.

Many Thanks

//Edit
I added your Space Invaders as invaders_alt.xbm to the Repository.

Posted: **Mon Jun 21, 2021 12:44 pm**

stefer09 created Graphic Versions of 280-ZZZZAP, Amidar, AY-3-8500.xbm and Ballon Bomber.

If my calculation is correct we have now exactly 300 cores supported with Graphic or Text based Pictures.

Thx to all picture contributors

Here is 301 for consideration.

Is online.

If someone like to run an "Testing Version" take a look here:
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... SB_Testing

It brings "Over The Air" (OTA) Update Capabilities to your ESP32 and some updates for "Commands".
If your ESP32 is in "Over The Air" Mode you should see an new Network Port in the IDE which can be used for further Updates.

INI File Update available

INI Option "OVERWRITE" was renamed to "OVERWRITE_PICTURE".

stefer09 added US-Naming based XBM Pictures and an new INI Option "USE_US_PICTURE" to enable the Download of them.
See https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... res/XBM_US

If you like the US Pictures set "USE_US_PICTURE" to "yes".

If there are Pictures available as "Normal" and "US" Version they will be downloaded twice

each Update Cycle
if "USE_US_PICTURES" is set to "yes" and "OVERWRITE_PICTURE" is also set to "yes".
We are trying to solve the „double download“

I picked up this 2-pack of in-line microUSB power switches so I can turn my tty2oled screen on and off independently from the MiSTer. Thought it might be of interest to some of you!

Picture Update
stefer09 moved the TurboGrafx16 Logo to the XBM_US Pictures and added an PCEngine Picture to XBM.

//Edit
stefer09 added Graphic Versions of Armored Car, Atlantis 2 and Beastie Feastie.

All Pictures available through the Updater or from
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... ctures/XBM

Finished my 3D-printed case today. Just wanted to say thank you.

You are welcome

Your case looks good!
Did you share your case design somewhere?

Did you use one of the PCBs or how did you build it?
And can I use the picture for the gallery?

Posted: **Mon Jun 28, 2021 6:42 pm**

I've designed my own PCB:

tty2oled_esp32-ttgo-t3gj9n.jpg

Kicad project is within the attachments. I also attached the case design. Within the case I've used foam to stop the Display/MCU from moving:

Very well made!
Thanks for sharing.

The USB Testing Version got an small update.
https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... SB_Testing

Now you can Rotate the Display Content by 180 degrees if you need/like.
You need to set the new INI Option "ROTATE" to "yes" or run the Command

Code: Select all

echo "CMDROT,1" > /dev/ttyUSB0

Code: Select all

echo "CMDROT,0" > /dev/ttyUSB0

or an restart returns the Display back to normal.

Was someone able to test the testing already ?

Great!!!

Thank you for your support!
I hope the ch340 is supported as soon as possible.

I used the ESP8266 NodeMCU CP2102.
I had a pcb for NodeMCU V3 but it was not available.

It looks really cool, I want to make this.
Can you tell me the dimensions of the gold nut on the 3D Print case?
Can I get the PCB file as a Gerber file?

thank you.

Posted: **Mon Jul 05, 2021 7:17 pm**

Hi zinjin21,

please find the Gerber files within the attachment. I've used M3 nuts with an outside diameter of 4.6 mm and 6 mm length.

There is a problem.

I used the NodeMCU V3 PCB and NodeMCU V3.
The NodeMCU V3 uses a ch340 chip.(? Is the chip the right name? )

But I don't think there's a ch340 driver in Mister.

(Sorry, I'm not good at English because I'm Korean)

Your're right - the driver for CH34x devices isn't compiled into MiSTer's kernel yet. I've opened an issue at Sorgelig's kernel repo to include the kernel module for the next time he'll compile and publish one and he accepted.
For the meantime I compiled my own one months ago as I'm using a NodeMCU V3 too. I've pushed this kernel to venice's repo now, so have a look to it.
To be sure that nothing can go wrong backup or rename the original kernel zImage_dtb (at /media/fat/linux/ on MiSTer's tf card) and replace the file with the repo's one. Reboot and enjoy the result

I have just been reading through this thread about the project, it's fantastic, and love the design of this - I really want to make one now! How did you get your PCB made and how much did it cost? I'm keen to order all the parts needed and make one just like this if possible.

We have no experience with an CH340 NodeMCU v3, so we need to test.

Which Arduino version do you run. USB or SD?

Run the command

Code: Select all

stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0

from an MiSTer's Terminal (SSH,CLI) after the tty2oled daemon has done the tty setup and post the result.

Could you try the test command bye from the Arduino Terminal or run

Code: Select all

echo "bye" > /dev/ttyUSB0

from the MiSTer's Terminal.
Double check the baudrate.

Ordered my screen and ESP32, and figured out how to order PCB boards, cost a whole £6 for 5 boards (min order), with shipping and tax to the UK. Looking forward to getting putting this together!

Thanks guys, this is ace!

Slow day at work this afternoon, so decided to run through the Core Translation List ( https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... ation-List ) and cross reference with the list of (non arcade) cores in Main, and unofficial, W.I.P and under development cores I am aware of and put them in a Google sheet to see what cores have images and what don't. Pretty good coverage!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0

Might be of use to people into making the images to see what is currently missing. I need to finish reading through all the wikis for the project and get my head around how it works for arcade cores, but can add those to the list later on.

If this is useful and anyone wants edit access to the file just let me know.

Maybe a google list is better than the Excel generated wiki list

Could you add the picture name to the list?
Nice job, thanks.

Btw. PET is already covered

Posted: **Wed Jul 07, 2021 9:21 pm**

Nice one, will update later or tomorrow. Can certainly add in a names column. Ping me your email if you would like edit permissions.

A couple of questions:
Could software run on Linux like ScummVM get an image?

For arcade games that share the same core, like CPS2, do the individual games get an image or an umbrella one for the hardware they run on?

HI. I’m using USB mode.
“bye” command works fine when I checked yesterday.
I think it's a boudrate issue, as you said. I'm at work now, so I'll test it after 12 hours.
Thank you!

Yes, but behaviour is out of tty2oled's scope. For ScummVM, for example, easily edit it's start script /media/fat/Scripts/ScummVM_2_2_0.sh and insert a line like

Code: Select all

echo "scummvm" > /tmp/CORENAME

like cores/MiSTer are doing. The only important thing is to have a picture named exactly as used by the echo command.
EDIT: Created and uploaded a scummvm logo to Venice's repo. Edited my own ScummVM startup script as explained above and it's working as expected.

For arcade games that share the same core, like CPS2, do the individual games get an image or an umbrella one for the hardware they run on?

Individual ones. You can see the used name by keeping an eye at /tmp/CORENAME. Many cores (rather MRAs) are setting this by it <setname> tag.
