Any news about the VeriSNES core?

You can also try with another hdmi cable and make sure the cable is fully inserted in the de10.
I had the same problem when I received my de10.

It works for me.

How is the initrd file built? Is it an image of a fs or a cpio file? I think that nowadays it's cpio format that is used (cpio archive compressed with gzip). I don't know if the format can be chooses when building the kernel. And then, you pass it to the kernel using initrd= ? I'm willing to help fo...

Ok. If I understand correctly the Linux rootfs which is now on its own partition will be replaced by an image that would be on that exFAT partition. Why not ? This way you can update the Linux part by just replacing the image on the exFAT partition. A simple way to avoid corruption would be to mount...

I agree with alfishe, having the linux rootfs on a ext4 partition makes it hidden in windows and a separate partition on linux. This way the chances of removing files from the rootfs partition is limited. It's a good thing to leave it in a dedicated partition. Plus how does a linux behave with a roo...

nope. it uses #5 (Ocean 1) mapper

Ok.

I just tested this game, simon's basic and ghost'n goblins arcade, they all work great.

Perfect. Thanks a lot.
I think RGCD is used by Luftrauserz.

Yes, it's new game that juste got released a few weeks ago.
The cartridge is alteady sold out but you can still buy the electronic version for a small price.

You're right about saying that using thumb2 generates more heat. I'll do the same testing with the same u-boot passing maxcpus=1 to the kernel and two kernels built with the same compilator and the only difference being the THUMB2 option and see if the results are the same. I also agree on the fact ...

I eventually manager to compile a working kernel, my point was to see how the heat issue would be with two core running. Since there is only one main running process (MiSTer), when there are two running cores, the second core is almost all the time at 0%. So there is no real difference between one o...

I'm sure this is how it is intended to work but it's not actually how it works. The boot arguments sent to kernel are in the file include/configs/socfpga_de10_nano.h from the u-boot_MiSTer project : #define CONFIG_BOOTARGS "console=ttyS0," __stringify(CONFIG_BAUDRATE) " $v mem=511M memmap=513M$511M"...

I tried with linaro gcc 7.2.1 (latest) and with the original defconfig and the kernel boots. So thumb2 option is a problem for gcc 5.4 However, the compiled kernel with gcc5.4 and no thumb2 option does bring up the two cpus whereas with the original (the official that is on github mister sd installe...

I tried the de10_nano_defconfig and managed to build a working kernel. Then I started to look at the differences between the two configs. de10_nano_defconfig contains : CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO=y # CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 is not set I first tried setting CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO instead of CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 but this di...

I'm trying to compile linux kernel without success. The kernel just doesn't boot. Here's what I've done : I cloned the folowing github : https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Linux-Kernel_4.5.0_MiSTer I also tried by downloading the zip file which by the way is named Linux-Kernel_4.5.0_MiSTer-socfpga-4.5....

Having the gameduino implemented in the MiSTer would be great. Plus there are already games developped for this platform. However, they say that everything is opensource but I can't find the source of the coprocessor. And about the softCPU, I suppose that there is no opensource implementation of the...

The creator of the MiSTer has said in multiple occassions that he has no interest in the ST because he considers it a bad system so there is very little likelihood that the ST core will be ported over. Now, why Sorgelig decided to use an Atari ST forum for MiSTer is a bit of a mystery. I wouldn't u...

I found the same as your second choice (150*105*55mm) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/192244611153 It's almost the same price. And it has some room inside to put some stuff like : Hub USB Ethernet extender like this : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/332137004761 The length of the cable must be shortened, so you ha...

It's the same cable as for MiST, you can buy it from here :

EDIT : This cable has a SCART connector at the other end and is for TVs.
But you can use the schematic to build your own cable for the 1084s.

I believe Mi in MiST comes from Amiga, that is... Mig, as in MiniMig.

That's the second explanation, after the minimig core got ported to MiST. But MiST was first built to implement an ST Core.

It a "better" MiST. That's for the name. As the MiST was named si because of "Mini ST".
MiSTer is related to MiST not to ST.
ST can be ported to MiSTer, all it needs is some developer willing to port it to MiSTer.

:-( Looks like I'll have to aim for DE10-nano down the road. I couldn't find it anywhere for a reasonable shipping cost, it would end up costing me an arm and a leg (100$ @ Terasic just for shipping). Being interested in electronics sucks when you don't live in the US. :-) Thanks for the informatio...

May be there are some cables with a wire missing or something like that?
It would be a good thing to figure this out.

That's some ambitious project that might give good results. Provided that developers have ideas and motivation to program games for it.
I thing the hardest part is to find new ideas of games. But writing clones of existing games might be fun too.

@Sorgelig : why do you write that the microcode isn't open to public ? The sources contains the hdl source file that implements the "sequencer" (MCL65.v) and the code for the 6502 written in microcodes (both the "binary" and the disassembled code : microcode_rom.hex). And in all the files there is t...
