MiSTer FPGA Forum

Hey Guys!

I bought a mister from here mister-fpga.de a few weeks- and was super happy with it, mainly for playing Amiga.
Since yesterday though, I do not get a picture anymore. Tried two HDMI/TVs. Nothing happens, as if no device is conected.
Then I noticed that two lamps are blinking- and I think they did not do that before. I attached a shortvideo.
Any idea what the problem might be?

Additionally, I am looking for a wider manual with errow codes but also explaining the configuration options of

• the mister
• the Amiga core
• the Mega AGS.

Atm, I have two concrete questions:

1. Can I delete from the Mega AGS menu games?
2. How can I add games to Favorites?

Thanks in advance,
Ggaribaldi

The lamp behavior is totally normal after a restart...the rest I can't speak to.

Can you still SSH into it?

Often this indicates a problem with the SD Card, IIRC it even behaves like this without an SD Card inserted, or when people accidentally inserted it in the slot of the Analog board.

I once had this problem, created a new MiSTer installation on another SD Card, using Mr. Fusion and copied the files over to my old card (except for the ini files that I had edited before). This solved it.

remove the mister.ini and mister file

and via your pc run update_all script so it downloads mister file again

had the same problem after putting mister unstable file and just getting pink screen and these same leds blinking

Others are addressing the no picture situation, but I can at least help you with the Amiga parts:

AmigaVision/MegaAGS has a pre-configured setup that gives you the optimal settings, so in general you don’t have to dig deeper than that unless you have specific requirements.

• the Mega AGS.

Yes, the configurations are all just files on the file system. I’d recommend not investing too much time in deleting configurations, since they will be overwritten when you upgrade. Just use the Favorites system if you want a custom set of games, those will survive an upgrade.

How can I add games to Favorites?

As documented in the UI itself, press the tertiary button on your gamepad/joystick or TAB if you have a keyboard.

Thank you all- my answer took a while as I had an eye operation leading to blurry side for a few days .

The problem vanished - for now - by removing and adding the SD Card again. Tried several times to start and the Mister loaded as expected. Still a bit weird as the SD was correctly plugged in from the beginning. I will sooner or later as recommended create a back up SD.

Thank you Limi for the links!

Great to hear that it is working again! That is an odd solution, sounds like the contacts of the card or slot might have been dirty, but that seems a bit unlikely.

I hope your eyes are doing well!
