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

[venice]

Hi@all
Stefer09 created some new pictures and told me via Github that "Clean Sweep TTL" shows "A.GALAXN" on the Display.
I remembered that I saw something related to "A.GALAXN" and "Mr.Do's Nightmare" in the past.

I figurred out that "Clean Sweep TTL" AND "Mr.Do's Nightmare" both are showing "A.GALAXN" on the Display.
Both MRA's have an empty "setname".

Where does these MRA's come from?

[venice]

...Is line 45 in the google sheet (as of now) an error, or am I missing a core in my setup?

No Idea.
I added the new "bilyard" (TIA-MC1) entry to the list, the old one "Billiard" was already there in the list.
Maybe because of the existing "Text" Picture "billiard.xbm".

I think we can make one entry out of two.

[stefer09]

Where does these MRA's come from?

I use the update_all script, from : https://github.com/theypsilon/Update_All_MiSTer
I think that's what pulls the MRA files.

[venice]

Found them.
Both MRA‘s are part of the (Main) Galaxian Core.

I will clone it an send an pull request.

//Edit
Pull Request sent.
If it's accepted "Mr.Do' Nightmare" will be "mrdonight" and "CleanSweep (TTL)" will be "cleansweept".

[venice]

Sorgelig accepted the Pull Request and the changed MRAs are already available for an update.

I might revisit my first pictures... been finding tricks in Photoshop to clean them up a bit before conversion.

[venice]

Jepp, there are some pics hard to identify.

[stefer09]

Just fixed Genesis.xbm , bigkong.xbm and berzerk.xbm

[venice]

...and he added Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara and Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom.

[Moondandy]

Many thanks for that that, much appreciated!

[Moondandy]

Just a thought, for the GBA and GB 2P cores and the unofficial NES, MS and Megadrive 3D cores, is it worth just copying the main core images and renaming them accordingly and putting those in the repo?

[venice]

Is the corename different to the 1P Version?

[Moondandy]

Yes they are:

GBC Core: https://github.com/RobertPeip/Gameboy_M ... plitscreen
GBA Core: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/GBA_MiSTer/tree/GBA2P

SMS 3D: https://github.com/Grabulosaure/SMS3D_MiSTer
NES 3D: https://github.com/Grabulosaure/NES3D_MiSTer
Mega Drive 3D: https://github.com/Grabulosaure/Genesis3D_MiSTer

GAMEBOY2P and GBA2P Pictures ready for the Updater.
Are the 3D Cores already released?

The Updater got a fix supporting Picture Names with Spaces like "Clean Sweep.xbm".
Thanks RealLarry

If you have an empty file called "Clean" in your Picture folder you can delete it.

Always at service, Bro'!

[Moondandy]

Yeah the GBA and GC 2 player cores are both released, I think both are in Main now. They aren't included in the official update script to not confuse people (which I personally would prefer them to be).

The 3D cores aren't official, and won't make it into main as they are apparently a bit hacky in order to make them work, but certainly SMS and NES are working well by all accounts I have seen.

Has anyone made Japanese NES and SNES variants for Famicom and Super Famicom? Conscious of the fact the table doesn't really accommodate alternates too well.

[venice]

See viewtopic.php?p=25641#p25641 for JP Style Pics.
I don‘t know if they are official ones but they looking really cool.

[Moondandy]

Nice, those look ace!

Hi,
the new Command Mode makes the tty2oled Display really universal.
If you like use it with Windows and Powershell.

Hello World

Code: Select all

#
# PowerShell tty2oled Serial Test
#

$serial = New-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
$serial.PortName = "COM22"
$serial.BaudRate = "115200"
$serial.Parity = "None"
$serial.DataBits = 8
$serial.StopBits = 1
$serial.ReadTimeout = 1000

$serial.Open()
$serial.WriteLine("CMDCLS")
$serial.WriteLine("Hello World")
$serial.Close()

You can try Clock01.ps1 if your display is connected to your Windows PC as well.

New Picture "Spelunker" by stefer09.
Many Thx

Picture for Input-Tester renamed from "InputTester" to "InputTest".
New Picture for the Alternative ZX Spectrum 48K FPGA implementation.

//Edit
Made some Pictures more readable (Crater Raider, Cyberbots).

[Moondandy]

Been trying to keep up with the new and upcoming cores and add them to the sheet, there are a couple of new computer cores Compukit UK101 and Interact Home Computer and lots of arcade cores.

There are a few more that could use existing images:

Ultrawide versions of the 2P Gameboy core:
viewtopic.php?f=20&p=31281#p31281

Jotego has two SD ram checkers which could use the same image as memtest:
https://github.com/jotego/jtbin/blob/ma ... 210108.rbf
https://github.com/jotego/jtbin/blob/ma ... 210108.rbf

I put a note on the sheet, but wanted to flag, did the ScumVM image make it into the repo? I marked it as yes awhile back, but actually I am not sure it is actually in there and needs its file name added.

They could use the same, or I (or someone else) could edit the current one to add a "2P" indication somewhere on it. I might work on that later tonight or tomorrow night...

[Moondandy]

Right now the 2P versions of the GBA and GB cores are using the same images as the main GBA and GC cores, respectively.

[venice]

I already build these Pictures about an week before and just added an „2P“.

Hello together,

venice, RealLarry and I are proud to announce the next integration level for tty2oled:

d.ti_small_tty2oled_wroom_32d.jpg

The PCBA connects directly to the 3.12" display. No further adapter/MCU boards needed. The design relies on ESP32-WROOM-32D module with Micro USB Socket at back side. Additional SPI and I2C Sockets available for further hardware extension:

img_20210814_12211278krx.jpg

The project is free to use. Project files (including case) are available on Github: KiCad Project / Gerber Files / BOM / Schematics / Case / Assembly Instructions

Greetings d.ti

This looks amazing. How do I go about getting one of these PCBs made up? Thanks

[d.ti]

You can order 5 PCBs for 8 $ from JLCPCB. For the electronic components I recommend sourcing the from LCSC.

MegaDrive Picture fixed.
