MiSTer FPGA Forum

It probably works like in pce and megaCD core.

edit: After testing a CDDA game, I seem to have the same issue as described by @pgimeno

This is just how it handles interlaced video right now. Same thing happens in a lot of game menus. If you don't set it to v-integer, it'll stretch it to full screen height.

latest update PSX_unstable_20220219_079da3.rbf is out, and it wont boot anything
anyone tried it allready ?

it doesn't boot anymore with iso files, you must have cue/bin instead

I only have cue/bin but nothing runs.

PSX_unstable_20220219_079da3.rb doesn't boot nothing

It works for me. Since the bin/cue loading changed because of multitrack support, you also have to use the latest main unstable (MiSTer_unstable_20220219_065751) from here:

Thanks!

No binary found on the link provided.

All the files are in the assets of the 1 release on the posted github page. This is the direct link to the file:

Thanks for posting the direct link. After scratching my head for a very long time I finally figured it out. This thing is really hidden:
On the initial link provided, on the right hand side of the screen there is
Releases
1 tags

Clicking on 1 tags brings the assets page.

Easy to find when you know the secret.

so i have updated MAIN to latest unstable and still cannot boot anything

You have to download the latest unstable mister main, rename it to "MiSTer" (remove the unstable and date) and replace the existing file in the root folder. You can also rename the existing file to make downgrading again easier.

Just to double check: Your mister menu shows "MiSTer v220219" as version at the top?

Besides having the latest unstable main and PSX core and the SCPH1001 BIOS as boot.rom (size 512kb), I do not know. I just set it up today with these 3 files and it worked.

Just updated to the 220219 this morning and when loading an Image it goes back to menu screen. Just Downgraded to the 0217 version and
works great.

I believe it may be related to the addition of supporting multi-track games.
In my case I was having an issue with my rip of Ridge Racer that had a .cue file and a single .bin file, it would not load.
Tried a rip that was a single .cue with multiple .bin files (one for each audio track) and it loads a plays fine.

There is an option in the debug menu now for single track disc, but it didn't seem to help load other games to load.
I have not messed with it much though, so I can't say for certain.

Why do this manually? Go here and follow the steps, and execute step 4 regardless.

i used scripts to update to latest and it not works. i was thinking something went wrong, thats why i compared CRC with the one people post here and it matched, so i use latest and it still dont work

do i need second ram module ?

No, you do not need the second ram module, the scripts should do everything for you. Just run these:
1. update_all
2. unstable-update_psx-nightlies.sh
3. unstable-update_main-nightlies.sh
4. cold reboot

If you are using the latest build of PSX try going into debug on the core menu and changing the CD singletrack option from off to on, the core stopped working for me but changing this option to on made the games work again.

I'm using bins and cues for PSX files.

All done manually and works a treat with multitrack games. Loving the hard work.

Noticed some games are working now, like Doom (past loading screen) and Mk3 (the rounds now begin)

Currently (in my case anyway) it only works with chd unless I go back to single track, but you can use chdman to convert in a few minutes all your bin cue games and go back and forth if you need to. So far I see only benefits with CHD, you get the music tracks, and it takes half the space.

Well I hope you figure what's up. Looking into the chd format that I wasn't very familiar with, is the compression actually reversible once back into bin cue I wonder? Because It seems way too good too be true XD

*.chd is indeed the best format period. looseless compression. my collection takes way less disk space. highly recommended
