Never had issues with Genesis, SNES, PC-Engine. You do have

forced_scandoubler=0

In your mister.ini dont you? Might be an explanation if you don’t.

What SNES core are you using (specific binary/release/source, please)?

My mister.ini:

Code: Select all

[MiSTer]
composite_sync=1
forced_scandoubler=0

How is your cabling between Mister and BVM? Do you have 75Ohm terminators on the BNC-OUT-Ports of your BVM?

My cabling is a this (without the audio connector):

I have a SCART=>BNC connector that I use with all my consoles to connect to the BVM.

And yes, of course I have the 75Ω terminators. I also have ~30 RGB modded consoles that all work properly.

Perhaps your SNES-Roms contain headers? Might work with newest SNES-Release but probably try with ‚240p test suite‘ for SNES? Just download and try it out. Test patterns do help a lot to identify video issues.

I have both the full NoIntro and GoodSNES collections and have tried both, with multiple files. All exhibit the same issues. The core loads the menu properly, but then there is no output from the VGA port. While I have not tested, I imagine I would get output via HDMI.

Any constructive help is appreciated.

Do you guys know if it's possible to setup a joystick button combination to enter the cores menu??
I have searched low and high and I can't find anything regarding this, only simple button press.

That's the way it is.

Not quite sure whether I understand your question correctly (as the answer seems so obvious), but I normally press this joystick button combination: OSD button (defined on the joystick), Right direction button , A (or 1) button in this order to display core menu. Then use Up / Down button to select a new core and press A (or 1) button to launch the core. That works for me in any core. Also make sure you define your joystick buttons while in the menu core (the one that is displayed after MiSTer reboot).

I'm guessing what he is asking is whether a simultaneous combination of buttons can be mapped to open the OSD. For example, if you are using a SNES controller there are no free buttons available for the OSD, so you could use let's say down+select. That way you could navigate the menu from your couch, and avoid having to use the keyboard.

Yes, this is what I am asking. And yes, for this same reason: there are no free buttons on the SNES gamepad to enter the menu.

It needs to he coded into the firmware. So far nobody is looking into it, that I know of.

Hi what size standoffs do I need to add more boards.

[LewisD]

I just got my MiSTer up and running with an IO board and SDram board and everything runs great except for the fact that I cannot get any audio when using the NES core. Audio works with SNES and Genesis, so this issue is specific to NES. Is there a setting I’m overlooking? Thanks.

Quick question. How would one go about setting up a static IP address? I like to move around files via FTP and don't always like to turn on the TV to see what DHCP has handed out today. I know you need to edit the "interfaces" file and change the "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" but I don't know linux and am kinda stupid. Thanks you guys rock

You need to go to your DHCP server settings (usually it is router) and assign static IP to MAC address of MiSTer.

That worked perfectly and was super easy! Thank you for your help

I have been doing this the hard way for years. Thanks for this info!

Is there a way to write to the SD Card over USB or FTP? I installed the Windows drivers from the original sd card that came with the DE-10 but Windows isn't showing the DE-10 or SD Card. Sorry if this has been posted before. Thanks!

Is it a known issue that the MSX core sounds horrible if using the I/O v5.5 digital audio output? Like roaring static. No bueno

[Sorgelig]

I will fix MSX SPDIF sound soon.

[bitfan2011]

I will fix MSX SPDIF sound soon.

Thank you so much. Genesis sound blew my mind a little bit when I first tested out SPDIF output - So clean!

BTW is there a faster way to load a new MSX game than to reboot, load core, type "mm", load game? I own real MSX hardware and a MFR SCC+, so I guess it's not any faster in that case. The only difference being MM autoloading, I guess (plus permanence of ROM until cleared).

I only get audio via the I/O analogue out with the NES core, nothing over HDMI - are there any settings/config that I'm missing or is there no HDMI audio output for this core?

There is audio via HDMI on the NES core. The problem has to do with different TVs/Monitors. On certain cores (you'll find others besides NES) you'll find audio won't work with certain tvs. For example, on my PC monitor HDMI, I get no audio on NES. If I plug the same MiSTer into my living room TV, I get audio via HDMI. Some cores work on both my TV and my monitor, like SNES for example. Not sure why some work with either and some don't.

[eightbitminiboss]

In my experience, my TV works with everything but on my capture card it won't pick up sound and it might because the sound of the core is not high enough for the card to realize there is sound to capture. I hit this a lot with NES and C64 (until I switch SIDs).

[Sorgelig]

Some TVs probably too picky to frequencies of audio.

[breiztiger]

hi

i think it's more a detect problem

on my Samsung monitor witch some core doesn't have sound when lauch, to recover sound in hdmi i want to swap entry for sound

[JamesF]

Will it be possible to add a clock/time in the "System - Information" screen when in a core?
Currently this screen shows only the IP or nothing.
