DRog, better late than never! A year later and remembered this post. Let me first update with new links to the same products: 1080p HDMI to Composite / AV S-Video Converter RCA CVBS/L/R Video Converter Adapter PAL / NTSC CVBS / S-Video Switch High-definition multimedia interface 1080P for PS3/DVD/Ca...

Yes. I chose a 1.3 bios for the SMS so I get greeted with the startup SMS tune. Also, I like reliving the old days by pressing up and both buttons on the gamepad to launch the built-in hidden snail maze game.

I wonder why nobody reads the scrolling text in the osd for the joystick emulation. Hi slingshot! Thanks for the heads up. I always thought the scrolling message was just for the MiST in general ("Welcome to MiST!") and not core specific. It mentioned emulating a gamepad with the numlock ...

SMS pads only have a d-pad and 2 buttons. Even if a DB9 controller is out there that might have SELECT and START like a NES does, I think the DB9 ports on the MIST are said to only support Up Down Left Right and two buttons. I also tried with USB controllers like my USB N64 and Sega Saturn with adap...

Feature request: After playing with this core a bit, man oh man I realize how much the pause button is needed.. selecting in game items from menus being one of the crucial ones. I saw the original core (no where near as playable as the current one) DID at least have that going for it. :) Slingshot, ...

REALLY??? That is great news! I have the latest firmware flashed from a windows machine and all works fine there with all controller types. It doesn't seem to work on mine. Tried it with a few cores and navigating the menu but NOTHING worked - even tried tapping the reset button on the blissbox cont...

The SMS core just didn't feel right without the boot music and was informed I could pick a bios file and rename it to SMS.rom and throw it in the root folder on the SD. I get a small quick flash of the boot menu before the bios boot music but still very good. Some cores have a familiar boot screen l...

I'd been hoping for one too so it is nice to see this thread.

Wow, I haven't tried the C64 core updates but this looks fantastic! Big thanks! There is dual SID, AND 1541 for .dsk images? I have a MK2 board but only have a SIO2PC and no ultimate64 board nor cart. So this might actually save me some money too? If I get my keyrah C64 keyboard working with it I'd ...

The CD floodgates I patiently await bursting open. Agreed- probably not tomorrow, but one day I woke up, and the impossible Megadrive for Mist became real... I asked about Supergrafx and maybe a week later I'm greeted with a 'here you go'. I actually get excited about progress in FPGA only maybe 20%...

I saw this at RetroRGB: https://www.retrorgb.com/mister-pc-engi ... egins.html

Opens the door for the other cd based systems. Anyone hear any status updates?

Maybe a pipe dream, but is there a way for the core to autoload a custom bios file like the one with Hang On/Safari Hunt (and hidden snail game) by default instead of the boot loader screen? Probably you can load any cart at boot, if you rename it to sms.rom and put it to the root directory of the ...

Whoa, I got slingshot listening?? :) Your assessment is indeed how it shows in Windows 7. Odd, my Mayflash unusual adapter accepting a Sega Saturn controller, N64, and Ps2 is the only USB adapter yet I found works with the MiST. A great start would be to determine what it does correctly that the Bli...

I am reading some posts about BlissBox support for Mister. Would it be feasible to add it to the MiST? I am guessing that would be firmware implemented and not a core by core basis, yes?

Cheers! Glad it helps others. I figured if I already finished the work, why make others waste time doing the same effort? So many of you helped me countless times, it's the least I can do. Thanks to all core creators too!

Save files: I made all the empty templates [no used saves, etc] by name for the known games the cores link to. I made them for Sega Master System, Game Gear, and Genesis, as well as the one for MegaDrive and why not - the two for 32x. I resized the SMS template to the maximum for Genesis. 32X is not...

On the MiST Wiki, it states "The only legacy devices currently supported by the MIST are "C64 style" joysticks. A MIDI add-on is also available. Support for other hardware (ROM cartridges, printers, Atari Mice, original Atari screens, ...) are not planned." So strictly for the DB...

Wonderful, and thank you! I tested the core with a real SMS controller and it works great, as does a megadrive/genesis one (both plugged in the DB9 ports- you still need a keyboard to navigate the menus). Has adding a pause button through keyboard mapping or OSD option been considered? Really loving...

Maybe a pipe dream, but is there a way for the core to autoload a custom bios file like the one with Hang On/Safari Hunt (and hidden snail game) by default instead of the boot loader screen? I don't know if that is similar to jiffydos as an extra file for the C64 core but I miss being greeted with t...

Astrocade I had working at some point on the MiST but now seems not to. Maybe it's my Monitor switch to my Nokia. The core looks about 4 years old now. Has anyone who had one back in the day found things that need updating on the core? Also The Vectrex one. It's fun to play even without the overlays...

Hi everyone! I need a small handful of Atari 800 (non-XL) key caps to complete my yellow switch model. If anyone has extras, please PM me. Thanks!

I am a big clicky keyboard fan and have several Model M IBMs as a frame of reference. In the Atari 8 bit line, I have heard it said that the non-XL 800 and the 1200XL had the BEST keyboards. Having messed with the 400, 800, 600xl, 800xl, and XEGS my conclusions are this. The XE line looks to be the ...

slingshot, you are a king for the PCE updates! Supergrafx support? Tears of joy!! THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks DrOG - I actually have a cable from Lotharek but the crappy Scart To HDMI box I have has such audio buzz noise. May have to get a OSSC and be done with it. Also, JUST SCORED THREE NEW (WELL USED) CRT MONITORS, TOTALLY FREE!!! Going to research the 15khz capabilities: NEC Multisync 2a (model J...

MAJOR THANKS SLINGSHOT!!! I look forward to testing this update!! In theory, is there enough room on the Mist to support SuperGrafx in this core?
