Camel Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Is the MiSTer able to rotate vertical-oriented arcade games or do you need to rotate your monitor/TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Panic Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Over HDMI you can rotate them, over analogue out, you need to rotate your TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really looking forward to getting the Amiga and Atari st running as well as the 486 core. We always had a pc growing up but loads of friends had amigas and a few STs and always really wanted them. I may even try to get some midi running out of Cubase for the ST. Good times ahoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be able to implement rotate over RGB? Been a while since I’ve messed about with alt cores on the Next but IIRC rotate was implemented for some of those over RGB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Panic Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The way Mister works at present, I don't think so, but I'm sure it's technically possible with changes to the frameworks that cores use to interface with video output. The analogue signal that gets output is generated by the core, and the HDMI interface using the same signal while taking care of the rotation and scaling via a frame buffer. A core would need to do something with its video output that original hardware didn't do so I think from a design point of view the guy behind the whole project would freak out a bit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protocol Penguin Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) BTW, I’ve prepared my Micro SD card using Mr Fusion and Apple PiBaker using the guide here, in preparation for eventually receiving a DE-10. This part of the process wasn’t much more complicated than ripping CDs for transferring music to my iPhone.

Ninja Doctor Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 DE-10. Sorry but that's started to bug me for no reason. DEC-10 is a completely different machine and an extra superfluous character to type. Anyhoo, you want the update_all or whatever the latest super script is now and drop that in the scripts folder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Panic Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The latest Mr Fusion puts update_all in the scripts folder for you so you can boot the DE-10 with the card, connect Ethernet and run the script! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others are saying make sure you're prepping the latest update_all. Once you set up the only necessary tinker you need to do after that is to run the USB polling script (to give the board a 1ms ping) and to make sure you're on the HDMI vsync_adjust=2 setting for practically zero latency (well, four lines). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spanky debrest Posted January 8 Popular Post Share Posted January 8 On 04/01/2022 at 21:32, Bangaio said: I know where you are coming from. I have a DE10 nano, sat in a box and I am trying to figure out if I want to keep it and get all the bits or just flog it for what I paid. I have a Retropie setup on a Pi 4 which I am fairly happy with but have almost too many games on it - in fact not almost - by far too many games. I have a stack of PS4 and Wii U games unplayed, a SNES mini in its box, am N64 waiting for a new PSU and even an old switched mega drive kicking around. I hardly play any of them and think I like the idea of games more than that actual games themselves. I thought a Mister may being the love back - I had a US RGB SNES, fully modded Saturn with all the ram expansion etc. I was quite the game collector but now am mid 40s, demanding job and a 6 year old who isn't massively interested in games at all. Now I am not so sure. I guess I could grab a usb tog hub off amazon and try the mega drive and pc engine cores along with whatever else works and see how I like it? Thanks for this post. Not to go too off topic but I think stress in real life made it impossible for me to enjoy anything videogame. That's just me; if I'm particularly mentally unwell I just can't pick up a controller. But the MiSTer - a project I've followed closely since before this thread was made and is now so compelling and incredible and mature and near perfect for my needs - I too went all in because I wanted to reinvigorate that passion that had seemed to evaporate so hard and fast beyond a normal cyclical thing. But as the components kept arriving I started feeling guilty that I wasn't excited or able to contemplate setting it up, and buyers remorse kicked in, something I've never felt before. To be honest it's been years since investing in any new videogame hardware beyond a controller here and there and Krikzz's yearly Black Friday Flashcart purchase. I'm not used to such extravagance these days. But today I set up a skeleton crew of systems again and hope to have my mojo back, now that I've started feeling a bit more myself and the most stressful Christmas / New Years I've ever had feels over. I'll sit on the MiSTer stuff for now and hopefully jump in properly when I'm up for messing with files and able to concentrate. Sorry about the indulgent post, everyone. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiffy Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 @spanky debrestI can understand where you're coming from. Similar to you, I've had a MiSTer since mid to late 2018 and have witnessed some incredibly talented coders provide us with what we see today .... an incredible retro machine that caters to just about anything that we could ever wish for. I've been here since the start of this thread, even acting as the "Unofficial RLLMUK MiSTer Tech Support" a lot of the time. However, In the last few months I've just been feeling a bit burnt out with it all. Don't get me wrong, I m still looking forward to the PS1 + Saturn cores. But I have my Saturn & Mode so it's not like I'm eagerly awaiting a release of this core to play games that I can already play, and I have other means on which to play PS1 games as well. I've pretty much abandoned modern gaming platforms (still have a Switch which I occassionally play). I get in from work, look at the machine & don't even bother to power it on at the moment, it's almsot as if I have no energy to play the MiSter, and no desire to play any games at all really at the moment. One of the issues I find with the MiSTer is it's almost become "too much of a good thing"! Think back to when we were kids & what you would have done to have only a tiny proportion of what this machine represents. Although not really an issue for me because I haven't fully loaded a SD card with roms, but I find it's a hard choice as to what "machine" the MiSTer becomes on any given night when I do decide to power it on. I look through the list of cores, decide that I then don't fancy playing any of it then proceed to turn it off and go do something else. I'm also going through a phase where I'm not enjoying my games at the moment. You may also have noticed I've been a bit quiet on here recently. This has to be one of the longest spells where I've barely done anything related to the MiSTer, I haven't updated it since at least the start of December. For me, I think it good just to step away from it for a while and concentrate on something else. For me, it's been focusing on music, playing the piano & getting back into playing the organ again ......... no innuendos please, I've heard them all before! Spoiler If you must post an innuendo, make sure it's good! Cue the music to Gyruss .... No doubt something will happen that will bring me back to the MiSTer soon.er or later. But in the meantime I am taking a bit of an extended break from it. I will keep popping in though to see if any help is needed. But as things are so settled now with ease of use & with a load of experienced users around, this thread is in good hands with the other long-time thread contributors. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainy Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think that we all go through periods of not being in the mood for gaming. I think the reason that I don’t go through that so much is that my games room is at the end of my garden and other things in life prevent me from getting down there too much or as much as I’d like. At the moment as part of a future episode of Retro Asylum, we are playing a game each that we never did finish back in the day. So I’m just concentrating on one game for one system. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Panic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Same here, all my stuff was mostly untouched in a room in my garden due to having a kid. Only now am I getting to use it again! Which is nice, because I love my MiSTerCade. Printed a mount for it to stop putting strain on the overhanging PCB at the JAMMA edge. Apparently MisterAddons is releasing some additional PCBs to take care of it and add functionality. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phresh Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I was 3D printing test parts for my consolised attempt earlier, bloody handy machines when your trying things like this! I've stopped tallying the costs of consolising it now, it was about £100 (£55 case, £45 components) but it's probably heading towards £150 (I might be able to recoup £30 of that. More than I wanted to spend initially but it's surprising how cramped it gets when you're trying to cram a power supply and port extenders into a case. In the end i've got Nat @ misterfpga to supply a USB hub without USB connectors so I can solder in some JST connectors instead (I could modify my existing board but i'd rather have a backup in case anything goes wrong). Does anyone have a 'spare' Pi Zero W 2? I'd love to get MT32pi installed along with the rest of the components but don't fancy paying £30+ for one, not that it will have a significant impact on the overall budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangaio Posted January 10 Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Quick update - this thing is amazing! I decided to grab a £5 OTG hub from Amazon to see what the deal is and I am blown away. So far I have sert it up, run installall, transferred a select bunch of megadrive and pcengine games and set up integer scaling. It is so immediate, really does feel like the real thing and is so slick and clean. After faffling with the bloat of retropie and trying out ready made images this is just what I need. Once I have the RAM and IO board I think this combined with my rejuvenated N64 is childhood retrogaming done. I now need to get the various computer cores up and running particularly DOS and Amiga. Amazing! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Anyone want rid of a DE10 nano? I can’t believe I’m writing this, but mine’s been nicked by DHL. I just want a board, so if anyone’s done with theirs then please let me know. I’ve been waiting for 2 months in limbo on this and it turns out DH: have delivered it to themselves. Not having much luck with MiSTer but I want to get back into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
