Y O U A R E A S T A R!!!! That worked like a charm!!!!

Thank you so much for your very much appreciated help! I am so happy! I will be spending all night playing The Secrets of Monkey Island

By the way Dosmid is fantastic, really!

Super

You may also want to copy the "/sbin/midilink" from your MiSTer (or here https://github.com/bbond007/MiSTer_Midi ... r/midilink) to your RPi. the "2.9d" version may still have a bug I fixed a while back where very large sysex messages were being truncated and skipped leading to some wrong sounds. I only seen this effect Dune 2 so far...

In general, I would recommend CM-32L ROMS for emulation.

CM-32L soundbank is superset of the MT-32 soundbank, meaning CM-32 as all the same patches as MT-32 however MT-32 lacks some sound effects patches that the CM-32L has.

As far as the actual hardware, MT-32 looks cooler with the LCD and is not subject to yellowing like the CM-32L...

Could one of you guys provide us with a set of compiled Munt binaries for the rPi4?
I don't think I can do this compiling by myself, since I have never compiled anything...

• Copy linux_img_update.tar.gz to '/media/fat/' using whatever method you prefer

• Restart from cold boot (just to be safe)

• Log in console using f9 or SSH and issue the following commands:

cd /
rm /lib/libfluidsynth.so.2*
rm /media/fat/MiSTer
tar -xvzf /media/fat/linux_img_update.tar.gz
reboot

I have reorganized the UART menu in order to fix the broken modem functionality. --> https://github.com/bbond007/Main_MiSTer ... 3ed91c4d6a

If this change makes everyone happy (please leave feedback), I will submit PR to Sorgelig...

Also included in this is a new Fluidsynth. d0pefish (of the mt32-pi project) identified a potential memory leak in Fluidsynth when unloading soundfonts and it was recently fixed by Fluidsynth devs. Because we can frequently change soundfonts in the OSD (without reloading Fluidsynth), this is an issue due to the limited amount of RAM available to the HPS Linux. This Fluidsynth also has better compiler optimizations than the previous one and may perform better.

The update procedure is:

• Copy linux_img_update.tar.gz to '/media/fat/' using whatever method you prefer

• Restart from cold boot (just to be safe)

• Log in console using f9 or SSH and issue the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd /
rm /media/fat/MiSTer
tar -xvzf /media/fat/linux_img_update.tar.gz
reboot

Optionally (to remove old Fluidsynth libs) :

Code: Select all

rm /lib/libfluidsynth.so.2*

linux_img_update.tar.gz
linux_img_update.tar.gz contains the following files:
/lib:
/lib/libfluidsynth.so.3
/lib/libfluidsynth.so
/lib/libfluidsynth.so.3.0.0

/media:
/media/fat
/media/fat/MiSTer

/media/fat/linux:
/media/fat/linux/MidiLink.INI

/sbin:
/sbin/fluidsynth
/sbin/uartmode
/sbin/mlinkutil
/sbin/midilink

Thanks for testing!

I originally said doing "rm /lib/libfluidsynth.so.2*"c (to remove old FluidSynth libs) was optional, but now I think its a good idea due to how little free space is available on the Linux.img.

After that I opened minimig but every time I tried to enable modem uart option it instead selected "None". Then I manually updated using bbond007 method above and then all started working fine. Maybe the official updater updated only main mister binary but not the linux part?

cd /
rm /lib/libfluidsynth.so.2*
tar -xvzf /media/fat/linux_img_update.tar.gz
reboot

Alkadian wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 4:52 pm @bbond007,
Just to report that after the latest Mister update everything is working as expected. I can now see the new menu. I will test tonight the modem option with the c64 core by connecting to a BBS.

In C64 OSD, make sure User port is set to UART and not Joystick 3 & 4.

abbub wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 6:26 pm So, is 'Modem' currently broken on C64? When I select it from 'UART Mode' it jumps back a screen and shows 'Connection: None' with no other options other than 'save'. Updates have been run, and the current C64 core on the sd card is: C64_20210216.rbf
