Does Fast Polling Stay On?

Do I have to enable fast polling every time I turn on MiSTer, or will it stay on after I shut it off?

It should persist across reboots.

You can check it by dropping to the command line (either ssh or via F9 at the main menu), and then typing:
Code: Select all
cd /media/fat/linux
more u-boot.txt
If you see a line with:
Code: Select all
v=loglevel=4 usbhid.jspoll=1 xpad.cpoll=1
then both your XBox and general controllers should be polled at 1000Hz. (the loglevel part isn't important, just the jspoll and cpoll arguments.)
Note that the script to change your MAC address blows away u-boot.txt, so if use that script, you need to re-enable 1000Hz polling with the other script afterward. Once u-boot.txt is set correctly, your settings will persist across reboots.
You may have to redo it again each time the Linux distro updates. They blow away a lot of files whenever that happens.
