Try setting vsync_adjust=0 in 'Mister.ini' and then go from there with each core.

Also, you might just want to delete your Arcade folder and start over.

can you run 1941 and contra? do you have a folder specific for them? I ran update all script again was successfull.

And still didn't create those folders and also didnt download the rom.

How can I set to 720p individually for a certain core? And settings also vsync_adjust to 2 individually for a core?

Also, don't worry about the load rom feature in Contra core, the game should auto boot.

FoxbatStargazer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 7:11 am core-specific settings go in the main .ini file. At the end of the file you need to start a block with the core name in brackets, where core name is whatever is displayed in the menu while using a core. Then just fill it up with as many options as you want before starting the next block. Example for AtariST and Amiga:

[AtariST]
vsync_adjust=1
vga_scaler=1

[Minimig]
vsync_adjust=2

that's odd. I ran update all script again and after checking everything it says it went successfull. See this image:

Could you show me a print screen of your folder section where is 1941 and contrae folders? I just want to make sure where to create these folders and maybe

For example, at first it didn't create a ao486 folder, it had an error during the BIOS GETTER. After I created this a0486 folder the script downloaded normally. I just wanna know where is this 1941 and contrae folders

The main MRAs will just be in the root of the Arcade folder.

And I realize Mercs has the same problem as contra, just black screen.

I will tru to run this ini settings and see if the ini file is generated.

I have found this thread here, other person having same problem with the mister ini not generated

Check if you don't have two folder mame !
/_Arcade/mame
/Games/mame

if you have two and the content is different..... It's better to have only one folder

there is only one folder mame and it is inside games folder.

On _Arcade there are only mra files and _alternatives, _organized and cores folder

the issue still is about the black screen for mercs and contra

And you have the mame files ? contrae.zip contra.zip mercs.zip
also check, if you don't have multiple versions of the same core

Try also in your mister.ini file:

[Contra]
vsync_adjust=1

Everything works because you are in vsync_adjust= 0 for all your cores in your mister.ini file

But If I added only vsync adjust for contra, why did it change for mercs as well?? I am afraid now it will mess with every game on my sd this way

What is the difference between vsync adjust 1 and 2?

[jtcontra]
vsync_adjust=1

The main advantage is the smooth scrolling, if your display doesn't have issues with it.

I think you need to change this to:

Code: Select all

[jtcontra]
vsync_adjust=1

Since that is the core name, no?
