Some games on the WonderSwan Color are now working on MiSTer

Save states and rewind are now fully working on the WonderSwan core.

The beta is really impressive, great work!

It's out: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/WonderSwan_MiSTer

Have not tried the core yet, but the github repo mentions separate boot roms for the wonderswan and wonderswan color, they are almost impossible to find, are they really needed?

htgdb-gamepacks on archive.org will get you there.

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 7:44 am**

They are included in the No-Intro sets, look on archive.org.

Excellent! Great news!

Could someone please advise on how to create the required SDRam file? Is this just an empty file called SDRAM.RAM?

Thanks!

very good !!!

thanks you

Just realised that I didn't thank FPGAzumSpass properly. Many thanks, the core looks so polished. I am looking forward playing the NeonGenesis Game that got translated to English a while ago.

I can't get the BIOS files to read at all. The ones I've got have the correct checksum, but I can't seem to get the location and/or filename correct. Finding the readme instructions a little confusing - can anyone give me any pointers?

In /media/fat/games/WonderSwan:

wonderswan bios: name it boot.rom
wonderswan color bios: name it boot1.rom

There is no sdram file, you just need to have a sdram addon board.

For the BIOS: yes those are unfortunatly required.
I didn't implement a hacky method of starting directly inside the game with fake Register and Memory content.
This is easy for a software emulator, but not in FPGA.

First of all many thanks for this fantastic core. I am really enyoining it!

I see, thanks for your clear explananations as well.

I am using a CRT Setup and have one in portrait mode. But in "180 degress wrong way". So eg. Judgement Silversword is standing the wrong side.

It is possible to add Orientation Ver180 for CRT Mode ?

Great Work

Many thanks

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 2:47 pm**

Awesome! Testing this ASAP.

the updater has to be updated...

anyone tried the 75,4Hz mode with "Sync core to Video -> On" on a pc vga crt monitor? i get black screen.

I use direct video through hdmi to vga though and scandoubler and not the vga io port.

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 5:20 pm**

Horz180 mode will be added the next days.

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2021 8:50 pm**

very impressive,
youre a legend !!

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 12:09 pm**

I really enjoying this core! So many games that I never tried before...

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 12:57 pm**

An interesting companion for this, but no idea how you'd actually make it work usefully, would be a Wonderborg core.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 2:49 pm**

hello, these boot roms are giving me trouble. Sure I got them on the no-intro sets but they weren't rom format, they still don't work if I rename them either.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 2:59 pm**

*update* nevermind. I was mislead by how the github instructions were written. The bios work when I just put them in the root of my WonderSwan games folder. The way it's written, I thought I had to put the bios in their own folders ><

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:12 pm**

woohoo, the 75.4hz refresh works on my computer monitor!
was playing a little bit of dicing knight, and silversword last night, fun stuff.

its a shame the majority of these games are japan only, but there are luckily some english translation patches around
