Cool. Many Thx.

I steal a bit from SAM for this

It’s not final i think but it works.

Go ahead and steal any of that code. It was time consuming to write. Glad if we get more benefits.

Looks great! Nice thing about the menus - you can use the controller to navigate them.

Bugfix

The tty2oled Script got a small Bugfix which could cause problems if tty2oled debugging is enabled.
Use your updater to get it.

Something that might be worth doing is have the update script grab the latest versions of the helper scrips.

This looks very, very cool.

Is there anyone that offers a pre built version (external) so I can plug it into my existing mister??

I’ve read this thread and the GitHub and I can’t get my head around what is required and how to build it

Thanks

I had the same issue at first. I ended up purchasing the parts listed in this post:
viewtopic.php?p=26016#p26016

I was able to assemble a working tty2oled and use it with my MiSTer easily and without soldering.

Hey guys,

Would love some ideas what else I could try?

I can't get my ESP32_Devkitc_v4 to work unfortunately. I connected all the wires according to the diagram, changed the screen to 4SPI with a solder bridge, flashed as WEMOS LOLIN 32 - black screen

Everything seems good on the Arduino side, no problems.

What I tried:
- Solder different gauge wires
- Flash as ESP32 Dev Module
- Reinstall Arduino

So far I have not been able to confirm that the screen works at all


Excuse my shabby solder job, I know it looks quite bad
I didn't have any DuPont wires handy but made sure that all connections connect as they should with a multimeter. All Ground pins make connection as well.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
if the display shows nothing you need to double check the hardware and the wiring.
Double check for solder bridges between the Pins where there should be none.
At least the startup text "MiSTer FPGA by Sorgelig" should be shown if the connection is correct and the hardware isn't broken.

//Edit
The Problem is that i can‘t follow your wiring because of too few colored cables.
If something is mixed-up nothing happens and the screen stays black.

Download https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... oled_cc.sh to /media/fat/Scripts and try.

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:

Please feel free to use the picture(s) for the gallery.

thank you!!

Finally I made it!!! Good!!

Looks good. Thanks for the feedback. Have fun with it.

Cool, both Display Projects together

8 new Pictures by Stefer09 available.

1944, 19xx, Action Fighter, Alex Kidd, the lost Stars, Armored Warrior, Alien vs Predator, Battle Curcuit and Body Slam.
Google Sheet updated.

Many Thanks

Hey Guys, let's created Pictures

can i ask, where does everyone suggest i get the PCB made up for this project? I have had a look around but I am unsure where to order from

Thanks

I used these guys, boards look good and was very easy to do and cheap.

https://jlcpcb.com/

Just uploaded the folder of files uploaded here and it found the ones it needed. Minimum order was 5 boards, and after postage to the UK and tax it came to about £6 i.e. crazy cheap.

My screen should arrive this week, but just dawned on me I don't have screws and the pins you can see in Zinjin21's image.

Looks great, where about did you source your screws and pins from?

Where are you located?
Maybe there is someone around you with an spare PCB.

I have some working spare PCBs laying around. These are from our testing series, so working, but not one of the actual ones (see https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... wiki/PCB's). Can send one or more of them within europe.

There's a Google Sheet? I've been looking game by game to see which ones didn't have a picture already

Where ?

Seems that you've missed that entry in this thread viewtopic.php?p=29461#p29461
Have a look at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0 and begin painting

Thanks @RealLarry ! Hmm it's too bad that the core name is not in a column too You guys just open the mra for the game and look up the core name from there?

The name of the picture in the "Image File Name" column, without ".xbm", is the corename (or mra setname). No extra column needed i think.
Unidentified corenames (setname) are shown “plain” on the display.
See at the end of https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... es-it-work
No need to open the mra, just run the game and watch the screen

The Google Sheet is also linked here https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... ation-List

Yeah but a lot of the ones that don't have a picture yet, don't have the core name in that column...
What i'll do is filter by picture=no, print it out, sit in front of the mister and load the ones that don't have the core name written in the core column, that way i'll have the name for the xbm file written down.

cworld2j is still set as "no" btw (Adventure Quiz: Capcom World 2)

I added Capcom World 2 as an new entry.
I will fix this later.

Ah that's why, ok thanks

Hi there, I knocked up this sheet and also added in a load that I know developers are working on, or reliable ones have said they are going to be working (i.e. JT). If you look then those cores are marked "JT W.I.P." which is Jotego work in progress, so they don't exist yet but will (hoefully) in the not too distant future.

One that I did mark as YES that has no name is the ScummVM one if someone wants to add a name for that (assuming it did get added to the repro).

Glad she sheet has come in handy and if there is anything that could make it better then please say, feedback very welcome.

Hey thanks for the sheet! One quick question, I have Billiard in my list of arcade games... on the Mister Github, I only see one mention of a Billiard arcade core, and it's under TIA-MC1. The MRA I have pulled up with the update all script (mind you, i used the arcade rename option), I see the game Billiard, with the core name "bilyard". Is line 45 in the google sheet (as of now) an error, or am I missing a core in my setup?

@stefer09
Could you please add the picture names to the google sheet if you create new pictures? That will be helpful!
Ask Moondandy fo write-access if you like.

@Moondandy may i have write access please? (see venice's comment above)
