Thanks for Colony 7, it plays for a short while then input no longer responds (keyboard and joypad).

Do these new Arcade cores already use the new scaler?

I know I am bad at this game. :)

But F12 does not bring the Mister menu also I have this problem with Mayday and Stargate but not Donkey Kong.

Hi,

With the ZigZag core in the horizontal orientation you need to swap horizontal and vertical axis (i.e right/left <> up/down) when defining the controller. That is a minor problem, but with Sinistar this swap is not necessary.

Probably a larger concern, ZigZag when using the horizontal orientation the top is left and Sinistar is opposite and the right is top, or in other words, they are 180 degrees different.

Anyway, Thanks for the new cores :)

Just tried creating the last 3 arcade cores (Mayday, ZigZag and Sinistar) but upon compiling them a getting a 'incorrect command line' error. Any ideas?

Did you put 7za.exe in the directory with the batch file and zip?

Is there any space in the path to the bat file? There should be no spaces in any of the dirs.

Check the whole path say "C:\XXX\YYY\XXX" there should be no spaces in the path.

Thanks for posting this, the no space in the directory path thing was screwing things up for me.

I tryed modifing the roms.vhd to swich the roms:

Code: Select all

	process (I_ROM_CLK)
	begin
		if rising_edge(I_ROM_CLK) then
			if    (I_ADDR(14 downto 13) = "11") then
				O_DATA <= ROM_D3;
			elsif (I_ADDR(14 downto 13) = "10") then 
			   O_DATA <= ROM_D2;
			elsif (I_ADDR(14 downto 13) = "01") then 
			   O_DATA <= ROM_D1;
			else
			   O_DATA <= ROM_D0;
			end if;	
		end if;
	end process;
but only black scrreen and beep.
It need more changes to map the other memory, probably in the mc_adec module, but is out of my skils.

Thanx for you hard work.

That's not an extra CPU, it replaces the original Z80 CPU.
It seems this arcade has been made when Z80 wasn't mainstream yet. And no one made S2650 FPGA module yet. And i doubt someone will make it as it's not widely used. Joust couple arcades only.

Asteroids Deluxe
Don't get to excited its not finished. There are timing issues preventing the explosions and some text being drawn.
I have uploaded an RBF and bat file for the roms to https://github.com/davewoo999/Arcade-As ... Ter-master
I have had to cut the memory requirements from the original 2MB for the video resulting in a poorer display.
What I need is someone to test this trial project to see if the display is good enough.
I have not uploaded it to Mister Dev as its not finished.
It uses the new scaler.

Thanks

I didn't try rbf yet, just looked on youtube.
It seems the same game as the one on Vectrex core.
not sure why it needs 2MB RAM. Vectrex rasterization code is pretty tiny and doesn't require much RAM.

Some arcade cores do not work and rotate the menu.

Post by leejsmith »

Hi , I am looking for some help with my setup. I am trying to get my de10-nano working with a J-pac interface and the IO board in my arcade cabinet. So far the only arcade core I can get working on the crt monitor is Galaga and it works perfectly with the J-Pac and the arcade controls after I changed some of the key commands on the J-Pac.

The Menu also displays just fine, but I would like to rotate the menu screen as my arcade cabinet has a vertical screen is this possible.
frogger checksum.png
you can see frogger has the correct checksum, but it does not run the de10 stops and none of the buttons do anything. This is the same for Galaxian,Burger time, Donkey kong, Moon cresta, ms packman, pac man,time pilot.

Bomb Jack and Phoenix work, but not on the crt monitor, only vga or hdmi. (I had the screen rotated so could be why it didnt work on crt)

my mister.ini has these settings when I had Galaga working on the CRT. I have the latest files on the SD card.

Can anyone offer any idea why the arcade cores are not working ?

All cores are tuned to work through HDMI on normal monitor or TV.
It's not supposed to be working in cabinet with vertical screen. It may work through VGA output or may not work.
