I have a Rom from a game I backed but it does not work on Mister just yet and the dev says that whatever emulator or core being used would need an update to play it and I don’t have the right everdrive either. I have no idea what the tweak would be, how do I contact the dev and even ask this? I doubt they know about the game if someone does not ask

I'm not too sure if I am doing something wrong, but the GBA core seems to not recognize the time or something as many games that rely on it give a warning that there is something wrong with it. I don't have the dedicated RTC board, do I need to buy one? I was under the impression that the RTC works when connected to the internet, and that the RTC board was an option for when you are offline?

i had the controller working on my phone and computer via bluetooth mister wont budge an inch though

I bought a standard io board for my mister (was previously preinstalled with io digital. I got the component cable with the 3.5mm analog adapter. The mister works on my hd tv but it will not show an image on my crt. I've tried messing with the ini settings I needed to do like setting ypbpr and composite to yes, messing around with the resolution. But I don't even get an image on my crt. Just a blank screen that says component. I have a Tau Panasonic consumer crt with component and svideo input.

Ok, so I found an analogue mega sg for $171, and I was just wondering if I should buy it from there. I mean, analogue's website is always out of stock, eBay is full of nothing but scalpers and this is the only option left because noone else is selling this thing at a reasonable price(or at all). And I was wondering if it's worth buying from that website, or if I'm going to get scammed. Please tell me because I'm not fully aware of whether this site is legit or not.

Hi All,

I got some Xilinx MPSOC FPGA chips for sale. They are 9EG and 11EG devices. Those chips are from a failed start-up project. The MPSOC chips are in short supply now, someone with immediate needs might find it helpful.

The chips are basically NEW.

Thanks

I do not understand how they operate as a business especially since they are only one filling that niche. Genuinely when was the last time they were selling a product it has to be close to near a year now right?

Any help would be appreciated. Plugging in the Edimax EW 7811UN does not work with my mister rig. It will NOT power on at all, no matter which USB port I use. I confirmed that the dongle works in Windows - seems to power up just fine with a flashing blue led. Not the case at all with Mister - no blue leds. The green led in the USB hub DOES light up, and my controllers / keyboards work fine through those ports.

I'm thinking I may need to just use ethernet cable each time I update. Kind of a pain, but I'm open to suggestions. I bought what was recommended, and what other folks on forums have had good luck with. Thanks!

(Another way to put this might be, "How to uniquely identify arcade games based on their data?")

In the project I'm working on, I retrieve metadata based on a hash (specifically SHA-1) of each ROM file, for console games. Ultimately I'd like to take the same approach for arcade games-- would it make sense to base this off the MRA file? I've noticed them changing during development, but, for example, now that Jotego's CPS1/2 stuff is public, is it likely the MRA files will be unchanged going forward?

I'm an absolute novice but would it be sensible / possible to extend current FPGA capability by building some kind of interchangeable daughter board. Connecting (harvested) real components that are difficult to map to current FPGA. I know it's probably a bit of sacrilege but It might be a pretty cool way to push forward. Assuming that as long as the end user harvest there own chip it would be legally fine to provide the bare PCB to move it to?

IE A board with the N64 NEC VR4300 CPU and Reality Co-processor then letting the FPGA handle the rest of the board and any input output?

Assuming possible / worthwhile to develop, any upper limit to this if someone wanted to push something like PS2, PSP etc?

Hello all,

I have a MiSTer build in an old APC UPS case and I have been really happy with it so far.

The only thing I am missing is access to the SD card from outside the case, I need to take it apart every time I need to take the card out. Has anyone used an extender they recommend? The cheap ones on Amazon seem to get mixed reviews.

Hello.

I recently setup a Mister FPGA setup with the standard IO board, and have it connected to Antonio Villena's SVideo/Composite adapter. I have the device outputting via SVideo to an older Sharp consumer CRT (not top of the end, but it works for me), but I seem to be getting a weird checkerboarding/"crawling" issue on the video output.

At first, I thought it was my cables, but trying three different SVideo cables didn't seem to do anything different. I then thought it was my setup and hooked it to my CRT directly as opposed to any splitters/etc, but got the same results (I also tested with Composite which also had the same artifacting, but not as "bad" just due to the composite video quality hiding it more).

composite sync on, sync on green off, 5v jumper output, so all of that should be correct for SVideo out.

Original consoles do not seem to have this issue when testing via SVideo or Composite.

SVideo cables also all output fine when trying them on the Analogue DAC with a MegaSG (outside of other issues that output has) or an SVideo modded system.

I thought after this testing that maybe it was my CRT just not playing nice with the Mister's output for some reason, but I was able to get the same artifacts on my capture card, as well. It's most noticeable on lighter blues and greens. I've uploaded a video of Bonk's Adventure (take a look at the sky) and Mario All Stars to kind of show of what I'm getting. I can't really see this documented anywhere either.

I did hit up Antonio Villena via email, but he didn't really have any idea of what could be going on either.

All parts purchased from Mister Addons aside from the adapter.

tl;dr - weird artifacting on SVideo from Mister not in original consoles which seems to be system-wide and not core dependent.

EDIT: not sure why the video didn't seem to upload, but here's a streamable link: https://streamable.com/9bfvt3

Maybe I moved the wrong jumper on the IO board? https://imgur.com/LQT7tqh
