For folks using the PCE-CD core, you'll want the unpatched Japanese System Card 3.0 for best compatibility. Here are some hashes for the one you want: CRC32: 6D9A73EF CRC64: DE2CF2B4AB245FB2 MD5: 38179DF8F4AC870017DB21EBCBF53114 SHA1: 79F5FF55DD10187C7FD7B8DAAB0B3FFBD1F56A2C SHA256: E11527B3B96CE112A037138988CA72FD117A6B0779C2480D9E03EAEBECE3D9CE

Well I went with the Mayflash 500 Elite, out of the box I didn't really like the ball top and it was short. So I bought an extender and a bat top. It came with an octagonal gate so I switched to that. Already added the custom art. Really like it, going to be great for Neo Geo and some of the arcade games. Seems like more effort than I want to put in to switch it to 4-way for games that need it, would probably just get another stick down the road. It's also compatible with the Switch. Tried it out for about 2 hours and it felt great.  Thinking about getting a custom bat top for it... think it would go perfect with the art.

Probably a longshot, but figured I would ask. I don't know how many people in here stream with their MiSTer and not sure anyone could help unless they have my specific capture device. I got an AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus and it works great for just about everything except the Neo Geo core. ( And some of the arcade cores, but more interested in troubleshooting the Neo Geo. ) Streaming through HDMI, I don't get a signal but if I change to PAL in the core it will give a signal. I've tried a few things like making sure the device's firmware is updated and tried changing the Neo Geo resolution in the Mister ini. Using Streamlab OBS. Anyone have any suggestions on things to try for a fix?

Just gauging interest, anyone interested in PCBs for the I/O board or 128MB RAM? I ordered 5 of each from a PCB fab (the minimum order) and don't need that many for myself. All I did was send the zip's straight from the MiSTer repo to the fab so they should work  . I'll probably assemble the RAM one for myself this weekend but not sure when I'll get around to the I/O board as I don't really have a pressing need for that one.I guess I'm trying to figure out if there are other crazies out there who actually want to assemble it or if I'd need to assemble them all to get rid of the extras.

They're from JLCPCB so not a ton, it was about $36 including the DHL shipping so I wouldn't have to wait for weeks. So if I can just slap it in an envelope with the appropriate amount of stamps I was thinking like $5 for the boards (the RAM one is actually the more expensive of the two because it's 4 layer). I'm not sure what they cost to put together, the RAM one has two chips that cost about $15 from Mouser and then some capacitors but I think the components on the IO board are much less depending on the fan you choose and if you use the sockets and ports from China (as I plan to) rather than say Amphenol parts or something. The 32MB RAM chips are only like $2 each so I'm not sure why these are so much more as they're 64MB each. There might be a cheaper supplier or equivalent but I just used the part numbers from the github and Mouser because they're in my backyard. I would've just used misteraddons but they were out of or backordering what I wanted and I was too impatient.

I finally got the last of the parts I needed to put my case together. I'm really liking how it's looking. This is the one from misteraddons.com, if anybody else is curious.

^^ I don't think so without changing the board, footprint of the part looks different with two more tabs on the shield and it looks like more pins as well. The port isn't actually USB if that's what you're thinking though, it's a normal serial port that uses the USB connector as I understand it. Not sure what it's even used for on the IO board to be honest, seems like it would have been easier to just have a 3 pin header there if it's just serial? Maybe it's a high data rate serial or something. And I actually have all the boards on hand now, I ordered them last week and then was thinking wtf am I going to do with 4 extra of each. Also my first order from JLCPCB so it was a nice test drive for them. I haven't heard any complaints about them online (and it's one of the recommended ones in the MiSTer documentation) and while I haven't had to actually contact them I was really impressed with how smooth the process was. They did a good job from what I can tell by looking. Solder mask is between all the pads on the RAM IC footprints for instance and the silk screen looks pretty nice. They're supposed to be fully tested by their robot at the factory so they should be electrically sound. I didn't get stencils or anything, the footprints are fairly large for surface mount and shouldn't be difficult to do with an iron if you're used to it which is what I intend to do. For people who haven't done it you basically just flux the pins and drag solder down the line of pins. Excess can be removed with a wick or a clean solder iron tip. I didn't spring for the lead-free tinning on the boards because I use lead solder anyway but figured it was worth pointing it out (it's also shown on the build options). So I guess don't eat these boards.

I think that's what they use for the LLAPI output, for SNAC at least most notably. It seems like two ports would be better for more plugging in things possibilities.

For those of you who have been waiting, the CPS1 core has officially been released to the public. If you haven’t already been in the beta, you’re in for a treat.

Somebody created patches for all of the PC Engine BIOSes (system cards) to skip the "Push Run Button" step, and just autoboot into the game. If anybody's interested, I posted the IPS files on Github with a link to the author's Twitter account in the readme. Apparently it was a super easy thing to do (like two bytes patched per file).

As someone that casually gets updates on mister without having one.. what's the expected hardware limit of whatever fpga is in it? Someone mentioned waiting for ps1 a few days ago and I more or less thought it is below that for whatever reason.

Pretty sure the de10 is capable of doing up to ps1/jaguar/3do once all the cores are released. I wouldn't hold hope for much better than that. As well, I dont really see another fpga solution that will be available in any sort of time frame.

CPS2 is apparently being worked on, so it's probably doable unless there's something unexpected. I don't see any signs of work on the Super Scalers, but it seems like it should fit. I'm personally hoping for the Konami TMNT/Simpsons/X-Men platform to show up at some point, it seems like there's some work going on there.

Thanks, that would cover most of the interesting 2d stuff for me, I don't think I really care about 3d stuff enough to want to go this route for it. I'll just homer-bush again for a year, I'd hope that someone makes a case that well.. looks nice in a living room by then (ie not a 6" tall brick)

It's nice to have an option for a case that has an ssd mount. I was never a fan of having an OS on an sdcard, and this looks right up my alley. But man theres some diehard mister grognards who I see bitching about this thing going against the "portable nature" of the platform. lol

I don't know that the DE10-Nano can boot off of anything other than a microSD card. I'm pretty sure MiSTer can only use hard drives for additional storage for cores and games and such because of that, rather than being able to boot the OS off of it, too. I've never actually tried using one, though, so I'm not 100% sure on that. I load everything but the OS and the RBF/MRA files directly off my NAS, which has way more storage than I'd be able to get out of a 2.5" hard drive anyway.

falz posted:Yeah this seems better to me. still pretty.. engineer-ey, but better. 5 usb ports seems odd, but at least the right stuff is in the front and the right stuff is in the back, not poo poo popping out in every direction from the sides. A keyboard, a mouse, and two controllers would be four right there. I was going to say that hooking up an MT-32 would take up the fifth, but it has MIDI connectors on the back for that. On the other hand, a keyboard and four controllers would be five. Five seems like a lot at first, but it does make some sense. What I find strange about the design is the dedicated controller ports, since either you use those controllers for everything, or they're useless a good chunk of the time.

I’ve been dying for a case that could hold a hard drive, but I literally just ordered a Blisster and cables this morning. If this one had the controller ports replaced with extension cables for that instead, it’d be pretty much perfect.

I just got my BlisSTer set up recently with my case, and I've really been loving it. I haven't even used the LLAPI stuff yet with it, but it's been worth it just having Bliss Box ports on the actual device instead of stretching another cable like a Gamer Pro over to a USB hub. It's good to hear that some places still have stock, though. I thought everywhere was sold out. Kazvall posted:Ah, gotcha. You could very well be right I havent bit the bullet and gotten one yet. Gotcha. Yeah, the DE10-Nano hardware is kinda weird in some ways. Like, Terasic cheaped out on the network piece by not paying for MAC addresses for the units, so they're actually blank. Meaning, those have to be set in software. The MiSTer Linux distro ends up setting it to 02:03:04:05:06:07 since that's unlikely to conflict with anything anybody already has on their network, but it also means that you can't run multiple of them on the same network without changing that in the config.
